Rune Factory 4 - What Happens If You Have A Child Before Leaving Town

[@Antifrost]

In this timeline, Venti asked Frey to check out a forest not even 10 minutes away from the town and Frey procrastinates for half a decade before getting to it.

Venti's a very patient dragon. Also, she understood the cause of science.

32:06 That detail of Luna saying "daddy is so cool" is extra neat. Not only does she have dialogue for her being there for that event, but a unique variation on the dialogue for being there while Vishnal was your husband.

Yep! Originally I didn't think about bringing Vishnal but then I figured I would just in case they had dialogue together and I'm really glad I did!

[@litneyloxan]

The same goes for Dylas, in my game there are several instances of dialogue I only got from being married to him and having a son embarrass him multiple times having him announce his love for me in front of the entire town. Each little random event I get I just adore the amount of detail put into it. The English Voice Acting is even good which is kinda hit or miss sometimes

[@yofadhli]

I think for "open world" games like this writers dont write like how most linear single players games would, where the player needs to fit into the story of the game. instead the story needs to revolve around the character, so its more like they put all these characters into a diagram and then writes every event the main character will be in and fit every single one of them regardless of whether it would make sense that they would be in that event or not. fun thing about this type of writing is it makes people want to find that "unintentional eastereggs" cause i dont even think the devs expected you to not leave town for 5 years and have ur kids go through all that dungeon. I wouldn't even be surprised if they wrote dialogues for characters if ur main character went out of bounds or moves to an impossible event or location through cheat where ur character wasnt meant to be in. because maybe one of the npcs had a dialogue there so they needed to add a reaction dialogue for every character u bring there. Basically how I would think of it is if the game characters and events is in an excel sheet the devs would basically fill all of the cells to the brim regardless if those character would fit in that event or not. This literally means this game is packed to the brim and i bet theres alot of more dialogues left undiscovered. alright sorry about my essay, and if it get confusing toward the end. just had fun thinking about this.

[@epsilonchannel502]

I would love to see more hidden dialogue if people could find it. Like if you could somehow glitch to get Dylas, Dolce, or Leon in town before Amber and then seeing if they have any unique dialogue. Might be more possible with the steam edition now.

This actually reminds me of something that I stumbled upon in the of rune factory 4. If you are married, you can trigger the cutscene starting at 30:21 early. After you see the chipsqueak jump off the cliff I think it was? I found it because the gate could be smaller than the pathway so you could get around it and get Leon Karnak materials... (Was going for fur m) and triggered the cutscene... Went back to the mansion and it acted as if I placed the rune sphere. (Had yet to beat plant monster) I wonder if the same glitch exists in special? ((Tldr : being married by last part of arc 1 (discovery of the cave below first forest through story) lets you skip that part if you go to entrance of Leon Karnak alone because 'power of love' summons the spheres to where they should be.)

@@epsilonchannel502 Yeah, I'm still only playing Harvestella but RF looks like so much fun with all the cooking and crafting you can do. And the woolies are so cute. What is this curse? I barely get on with actually playing my games but I keep finding more stuff I like. It's official, my pile of shame will never decrease. But there are just so many games I keep finding that I think look fun. But hey, at least RFF is a good reason to bust out that wii again. The moment I no longer have roomates. that one guy just yells shit into the void and even the people above us can hear him. Thank god, the Switch supports headphones now. I really look forward to playing RF when I get to it. I'll wait a bit before I get 5 and 3 and maybe they will port some of the other older games too. I think I will spend my easter watching your videos for RF 1. To get some context for Frontier. Mist is so weird but I think she's fun.

I want to thank everyone who has watched this video! I had no idea when I made it that so many people would watch it. I thought maybe a hundred at most. Boy, was I wrong! For those wondering about the low production value, this was literally the first video I've ever made so I didn't really know what I was doing. I mean, I completely forgot to unmute the BGM in the first 10 minutes of the video and somehow didn't realize until well after I had uploaded it to KZbin. I wish I had a way to fix that, but, unfortunately, the only way to do that would be to reupload the video and delete this one, which I refuse to do. So I do apologize for low production, but I do feel like I've made much better videos since then. I just wanted to thank you all for stopping by and wish you the best in whatever you're doing in life!

I think this is super cool. I have a question on how to get the cutscene for the second arc.

Any help would be appreciated.

[@epsilonchannel502]

Are you playing RF4 Special? Or are you playing the 3DS version? If it's RF4 Special, then you can start Arc 2 by leaving town a few days after the end of Arc 1. You actually have to walk through the gate leaving town in the south. You can't teleport there. Arc 2 should begin and then you'll go through a series of dungeons and you'll have to go through Maya Road and Sechs Territory while chasing some soldiers.

[@boethia7367]

Doug is high maintenance. I think you have to beat arc 2.

[@manarii7759]

I wonder if you can also do that version but marrying Doug instead? Idk much about marriage requirements with guys at rf4.

[@epsilonchannel502]

Unfortunately Doug's friendship/heart points are locked until you finish arc 2. They won't go above 3 or 4 points. It's unfortunate. I'm not sure if it's possible with Kiel or Arthur either as some of their heart events may take them outside of town to areas of the map locked by story progression. Not positive on that though. Since the game is out on steam, you might be able to hack the heart points for Doug to go above the limit, but that could also cause issues with other parts of the game's code.

[@epsilonchannel502]

@@dcscruz2970 ah, you shouldn't need those plants to continue on with the plot sections. Those areas that require special plants just some bonuses. As for doom pumpkins, you have to plant a 2x2 patch of pumpkins and use Gaintizer on them. Wait for them to grow to full size and then wait a few more days and they'll grow bigger. But if you continue waiting a few more days, they fuse together and become a Doom Pumpkin. If you need higher stats for your weapons and armor, I suggest finding some Doublefold steel or 10-Fold steel. You can also use Object X to reverse the affects of future improvements used in your weapons or armors. This normally would be a bad idea, but you can use mealy apples to get higher defenses. Object X comes from failing pharmacy crafting. Mealy Apples come from one of the bosses, but I recommend fighting the Monster called Typhoon, which only spawns in during a Typhoon. You can only fight him once per typhoon, but if you defeat him and warp away before his body disappears, you can fight him multiple times and get more chances of him dropping Mealy Apples.
