Even compared to the other Rune Factories, this one is perfect in all it does. Expedited travelling, a quest system that adds story depth and more opportunities for exciting new items. Easier forging with instant access to storage, better dungeon design and bosses. A story that you actually kinda care about, more convenient farming. Deeper, more interesting characters, more strategy to battles, the list of improvements to this gem go on and on. Probably one of the best DS games I've had the joy to play and I've played a lot of good DS games.… Expand

   Sensational game. I don't know why I skipped it when it first came out, but I'm so glad I discovered it. It's like playing Harvest Moon,Sensational game. I don't know why I skipped it when it first came out, but I'm so glad I discovered it. It's like playing Harvest Moon, Pokemon, and Zelda at once. I don't think I have seen an RPG this involved in a long time: you can do everything from item crafting to cooking, have countless weapons and spells, have multiple relationships, take any character into your dungeon party--and it has a good story with multiple endings. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great JPRG or Action RPG.… Expand

There is a ton of stuff to do in this game, and the charming atmosphere along with the interesting characters, although gimmicky at times, definitely highlight the game for me. The combat was interesting enough to keep me involved, although mashy at times in the beginning of the game, it eventually requires a bit of strategy and some decent skill usage. However once you are completely done with the story there is not much to do after that. It is a long story though, so it is forgivable. 9/10 game, my favorite in the series.… Expand

   I never imagined that I would like it so much. Its history will not be outstanding, but its world, its characters, its gameplay (Very good at the time) and its music ... It is that being able to spend time on your farm while killing monsters or meeting the citizens and even falling in love. .. Everything is very well balanced, always having to do and being able to choose not to get bored.
   
   Perhaps the most negative thing is the fact of not being able to choose sex, with all the consequences that this may entail, especially when it comes to being able to get married (There is also no Lgtbi option) but well, something that can be tolerated due to antiquity of the game.… Expand

   The core game is amazing, but this is a review in 2020. After the QOL improvements in RF4, you really cant go back to 3 without seriousThe core game is amazing, but this is a review in 2020. After the QOL improvements in RF4, you really cant go back to 3 without serious frustration.
   As part of the series, as a whole, it has only tiptoed in progression.
   Playing harvest moon 1996 up until RFactory4, the series is pretty stale until the spinoffs and more recent games.
   Trio of towns, RF4, Innocent Life started to progress, though!
   In hindsight, all the (fake) people whose lives you'll touch, all the crops you'll (fake) grow, all the mobs you'll (fake) destroy.. its all really amazing. It just isnt, after playing the next versions... and Fantasy Life.
   
   As it stands, I would ADORE a remake with the new QOL and maybe some sidestory DLC (pretty standard, these days.) RF5 is right around the corner.… Expand
