For those who look for a great time and gameplay this is the one.
Ok that the history is not the best of all the RF's but still is a solid one.
Tons of content, and the usual grind and crafting that only RF can provide is here.

I have played Rune Factory since I was a kid. Played Frontier, 1, 2, 3, 4, and this one. Loved them all. I love the idea that you can get stronger from doing every day tasks. It makes it feel like you're constantly getting stronger and that your hard work is paying off no matter what you do. Nothing is a waste of time. I love this series so much, I bought it on the DS, the switch, and the PC. I will always support the developers, and I cannot wait for the next two games to come out. I love Rune Factory. Marriage, the events, the children actually growing up and being able to do stuff. It's not just farming, you can tame monsters and do everything else. I don't care much for Harvest Moon any more because it's the same thing over and over again. Farm. Sell crops. Buy upgrades for villagers. Talk to stale people. Get married. Have a kid. It stays as a baby. You do the same thing over and over again. This game? Fight bosses, level up, talk to interesting characters, farm, have kids that ACTUALLY GROW UP. This one in particular though was very short. I beat it on the Switch in 23 hours. The main story at least- And in 4. It would take weeks of my time to beat it. Which is why 4 was a lot better. They were able to squeeze in more fights because of the top down graphics. 3D truly limited them in this game, but it may just be a proper step in the right direction.
