XSEED Games Rune Factory 5 Earthmate Edition - Nintendo Switch

The game itself it extremely fun, lots to do and see. Spend a lot of hours on it, you can go at your own pace as well. Reminds me of Rune Factory Tides of Destiny (aka Oceans) which is also my favorite. As for the Special Edition part it's a bit pricy for me personally, but I think it's worth it :DYou get in-game outfits, the art book comes with character info and wonderful illustrations, a CD with the background music and opening song from the game, and of course the game itself with a player's guide which also has game tips.If your love the game series or this gameplay style, it's worth getting with the Earthmate Edition!

After finishing Elden Ring, this was shipped to my door. I pre-ordered it and didn't realize the date of it coming out. Been addicted to it and feeling refreshed, game doesn't run smoothly, but that doesn't really matter to me at all. Cute game that came at a good time.

Incluye todo lo que vienen anunciado en la publicación. Sobre los atuendos especiales de los personajes de RF4, estos en cuanto empiezas a jugar te dale un pequeño aviso indicando que los encontrarás en tu closet.Lo mejor de todo es que llegó mucho antes de la fecha indicada y está en excelentes condiciones <3

Un paquete ideal para coleccionistas los libros son bastante interesantes y el juego es bueno. Es bueno que cada objeto de regalo esta bien protegido y la carcasa metaliza muy útil.

I'd never in a million years recommend this game itself to anyone who's new to the series since you can pay less for a better game in Rune Factory 4 Special; however, for avid fans of the series this game will (despite many, MANY frustrations and poor design choices) satisfy the itch to play something new.As for the Earthmate Edition, it's got a nice little soundtrack CD in it (although the Japanese edition came with a nice jeweled case instead of a cardboard one), a cool artbook, and a steelbook case for the game with a little "Ranger's Pocket Guide" inside. I was a little miffed by the fact that you only get a Steelbook case with this and no regular one, but I have a regular case from the Japanese edition so I can just use that if needed. The steelbook is a nice case, but feels more like a display piece than a case to just throw about.I read some reviews other people wrote, and honestly I'm convinced that the people who "played" 4 never actually played it so take what they say with a grain of salt. Farming takes at least 2 times as long as it does in 4, pushing toward 3x or longer for some tasks unless you purely farm with monsters and by buying crystals at 50k a pop in which case it's still slightly slower than in 4.Movement is floaty as can be and is made much worse by the speed boosting boots you can make, and heaven forbid riding a monster having any proper physics since you'll constantly get caught on things or get off in areas you apparently can't move. The camera is extremely annoying since you need to constantly have your right thumb on the right analogue stick to move the camera which is frustrating since you need to use the ABXY buttons to actually do anything, and if you want to straighten the view you need to press R3. Skills are far, FAR grindier to level up and have much dumber methods that need to be employed if you want to have a remotely tolerable time hitting 99s. Grinding items? Hah, if you don't intimately understand the mechanics of the game and/or use the internet to figure stuff out, you'll likely never get some items since there are items that can only be obtained from the last or second to last boss at a 1% base drop rate. Oh, and you need multiple of them to be able to be a completionist.I could go on about other things and write an essay about performance issues and crashes, but I'll cut it off at this. The game does have some nice improvements from 4, but they're vastly overshadowed by a multitude of inconsistencies and poorly made design choices. My 5 star review is as an avid fan of the series and moreso based on the Earthmate Edition, although the costumes you get from the Earthmate Edition are pretty bad (at least the male options).
