They updated the graphics...but all the qol of RF4 was ignored

[MESeele]

What's up with that? Is it so hard?

And is it so hard to have an option to increase or DECREASE the bgm? I want to turn down the bgm but NOT turn it off. How it it that nobody thought of something so simple?

I've 100% RF4 and 5, but never played 3 before. I'll enjoy it either way cause I love this series, but such small things make a big difference...and they didn't bother.

[MESeele]

Why are Triangle and Square (ps controller) used as ui shortcuts for going up or down 1 page!? In RF4 square bounced the highlighted item to another panel... like between inventory and storage, or inventory and the shipping bin. How they're set is just so USELESS! *grumble grumble*

[caddery]

Its almost as if this game was made before RF4, to add in all the qol would mean redoing a whole lot. Devs wanted to just do a simple port for this.

[MESeele]

No. THIS game came out after RF4. And after RF5. They had no problem adding things. Not anything important though. Stop being an apologist.

Didn't they like.. re-do a lot of stuff? Improved graphics, new character models, 11 entirely new adventures related to the marriage system, an additional difficulty.. what about any of that sounds simple?

Well I guess we know why they never patched RF5. They were too busy churning out yet another remake.

[Frost]

I cant even work out how to open the menu/settings in-game. ;_;

Bro learn how to use your volume mixer.

[Towa....]

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about the volume sliders, I'm annoyed that stacking items of different levels, something that is easily taken for granted in RF4, wasn't included in this remaster.

[MESeele]

For anyone curious, R1 (ps controller) pops the highlighted item between panels. I swear I tried every button the first day and it did nothing...

Don't forget the greatest QOL improvement that Rune Factory 4 original version and Special version doesn't have. Stackable foods

Those redo are not as hard as making QOL improvement though.
If we are giving rating about how hard it is, let say if QOL are difficulty 10.
- Improved Graphic and character model would be 2/10, because all they need is just to redesign them and replaced the old one.
- New Adventure would be 3-4/10, because all they need is not add those story with a same gameplay, etc. So all they need to check is just whether the new adventure have a bug on them or not.
- Additional difficulty, 0.1/10. Seriously, if the game have a difficulty option, they don't even need to change too much for adding a new difficulty.
- QOL, not only they need to redo a lot of code, but they also need to check whether the new QOL and code work in all condition, which might took months, even 1-2 year make it working without any bug (or less bug).

Volume mixer are completely different that in game setting, there is a lot of time that people want to have lower BGM but still having a loud sound for other settings. Volume mixer only able to increase/decrease every single sound in the game, not just 1 of them.

What? Stackable foods? As in the foods from cooking? Thats never available in this version.
Unless if you are talking about Stacking items when we are looting them, but thats available in original version too.

I feel bad for those that grew up with RF 4 and 5 instead of 1 2 and 3, those were hella bangers. And dont talk to us about QOL! Dont you see how sad we are they didnt add more to our favorite game?! ;-;

What are you talking about? Im literally able to stack foods that I made, find and be given to. Have you even played the game?

[raditzaceme2]

Food and produce stacks with the same lvl of each other. Helpful since i can carry 99 Lvl 10 Pickled Turnips while only taking 11 spaces. But 98 lvl 10 and 1 lvl 9 takes 12. Annoying, but still better than never stacking like in RF 4 and 5. Want something to complain about? How about the fact i cant add an item into a box if all slots are filled but there is a stack that can accept it? I never knew how much i took that for granted until i played this game. Had 2 silver in the chest, but all slots full. So couldnt add any more from the menu unless i went to the item and manually added it (the quick tranfer button apparently only searchs for free slots instead of identical items to stack with first). The only way to bypass that annoyance is to throw the item at the box

I mean is annoying at first but I got over it quite fast after being able to get used to the controls on keyboard and quickly transfer items and sort the chest. Plus maxing out the storage isn't that hard at all since lumber doesn't take long to do.
