Rune Factory Oceans/Tides of Destiny, who's got it who's getting it and how for are you? Options

[Noviwan]

Hey guys I am loving this game!

Can't pick a wifey yet I like them all but Elena, Selena, Maerwan, and Electra.

I got to the first sunken dungeon salvaged haven't beaten it yet though.

the farming mechanic is extremely revamped. you don't even farm your monsters do the job for you you just plant the sprouts and days later you will havewhatever the asigned monster is capable of growing I like it it saves time seeing as a lot of time is spent traveling and searching the oceans for islands.

also they have gotten rid of the plain one handedsword and shield and added the katana.

also they hav stuck with rodss for magic as opposed to books in the handheld ds versions.

you can fight monsters while your piloting the golem I dont like the golem battling though.

[Twilight Wandere...]

Um, you forgot Pandora on the marriage list. D:

I really like it, it's easy to build up friendship with people/monsters.

Farming is actually easier and more convienent for me, once you get 5 monsters to start farming it's really easy to make money. Crops grow way faster than in any other RF game.

And haggling is the best thing ever!

I met Anette, and Pandora too, and beat the first dungeon so everything is moving smoothly.

[Pumpkin Patch]

I have it. Great so far. I like the farming but would not want it to become a pattern. It is way too easy to make money. I'm still in Spring of year 1 and I already have a two story house, larger storage, the best kitchen, best forge, best crafting area, and the carpentry area. At this point I don't even need most of that D:. I just bought it cause I could.

Besides that I am loving the game. The friendship events are so fun. It is great even the villagers get their own events.

I am not gonna get married but Azel is my favorite guy and I can't choose a favorite girl (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) .

[Goshzilla]

Is it true that Gamestop has it out already?

I might not have to order it on Amazon after all if so.

[Mizukithepanda]

Did it get a PS3 release? If so, I'll probably pick it up soon.

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

The PS3 version was open to preorder last I saw, so I would imagine.

[Noviwan]

You guys me and quincy got the US Release on friday october 7th!

lol gamestop got it early

[Noviwan]

Have I missed any points on this page you guys?

http://www.ranchstory.co.uk/wiki/Island_Farming

[quincy52]

I found out on another guide that each spirit should be used on a designated island to make it more prosperous(I.e. you can plant and grow more stuff). It's worked so far on Spring Island, I got it up to 88%, but here's ,more from the actual guide, though the islands are still in Japanese terms:

"Each of the four island require 'spirits' to be returned to them to rejuvenate the island so it can support growing various crops. You'll find these spirits at points all throughout the different dungeons/islands in the game. Each of these points regenerates after a few days, so don't worry about running out of spirits. Each island starts at 0% 'prosperity', and the various areas of the islands gradually become farmable as you increase this value. To do so, equip one or more spirits into your hands and 'use' them. Some islands require a certain percentage before they become farmable at all (you'll see an event when this happens).

Spirits give an island 2% prosperity if you return them to the 'correct' island:


Mebuki (Spring) island - Yellow
Tokonatsu island - Red
Koori (Winter) island - Blue
Minori island - Green
You can use spirits on 'incorrect' islands as well, but they'll only give the island 1% prosperity each. This is best done when you've already got the proper island for a spirit at 100%."

Hope this helps.

[Noviwan]

Thanks quincy I will amend that in a bit.

[EBWonder]

All I got to say is: I want swordchucks!

[Noviwan]

EB are you in the wrong thread lol

[Pumpkin Patch]

The game and is really awesome. I think I might like it more then RFF. I have beaten the second dungeon and working on getting the third open. So I'll wait til I actually beat the game before I decide for sure (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) .

[Noviwan]

Yeah I am where you rae pumpkin ELena is taking forever to upgrade mah golem

[Biri Biri]

If she is upgrading with the red core, you gotta manually talk to her after some days pass for her to inform you that the upgrade completed. Hope that helps!

[Noviwan]

okey doke yeah she told me she was having problems with it.

[Biri Biri]

One more time after a day or so passes! She'll get it done!!!!

Plot Thoughts : Total What the waffles. I think I know who Sonia will be revealed as...

[Mizukithepanda]

So yeah, I just started this today and.... I think I chose the best names in the world. Here are a couple of quotes:

"Lara Croft! Come on out!"

"Um... You're not gonna believe this, but I'm stuck in Duke Nukem's body right now. Yeah, awkward!"

"Wow, Lara Croft. I never knew you were so unfazeable!"

Yeah, I'm a dork. I know. (And yes, I included the last names too. The game gave me enough space for them.)
