The 6th Rune Factory game, and the first for the 3DS. This game is also the first to provide players with the option of going through the game as a girl or a boy right at the start, contributing to its nearly outselling its predecessors in just the first week of its release. In addition to a boost over the other handheld games' graphics, it features a more elaborate dating system, including actual dates, becoming a steady couple, and dealing with personal issues before getting married.The game begins with the protagonist riding an airship, carrying valuable cargo on their person. Before they reach their destination, they are attacked, and after losing their memory and their cargo from a blow to the head, they are tossed overboard. Luckily, their fall is broken by the dragon Ventuswill, who guards the town of Selphia. She has been expecting a member of nobility to come and manage the town, and assumes that this must be them. From then on, it becomes the job of the player character to attract tourists to their town, to have new festivals implemented or shops built, and to investigate the strange occurrences of boss monsters taking on human forms after being defeated.This game is the first since the original Rune Factory to include heavy involvement from the Sechs Empire, led by Ethelberd, who has returned from his defeat in the first game still desiring to Take Over the World, but also with a genocidal hatred for the Earthmates. Soon, the protagonist and their allies will have to fight against the ambitions of the Empire.Rune Factory 4 was released in Japan on July 19th, 2012 by MarvelousAQL while North American version was released by XSEED Games on October 1st, 2013. ZenUnited later announced plans to release the game in Europe during Spring 2014, but possibly due to Neverland Co. filing for bankruptcy, the game was cancelled for release in European countries. However, on October 3rd, 2014, XSEED Games announced plans to release Rune Factory 4 in Europe and later released December 11th, 2014 on the Nintendo eShop. An Updated Re-release for the Nintendo Switch was confirmed during a Nintendo Direct on February 13, 2019, and was released on February 25, 2020. The rerelease was later announced at E3 2021 to be ported to Play Station 4, Xbox One, and Steam, and was released on those platforms on December 7, 2021.The character sheet can be found here. | |

The Artifact | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: The description of the Mixed Smoothie says it's "Milk added to mixed fruits and vegetables", despite it being made from Mixed Juice + Honey — Mixed Juice already had milk in it, and there are no vegetables anywhere in the crafting tree. This description was accurate in the first three games, when Mixed Juice was made from Fruit Juice combined with Vegetable Juice, and all Smoothies (then called Oles) were made by adding milk to their corresponding juice. | |

Love Potion: Can be made with the Chemistry Set with a very high medicine skill. If you want to get a person's relationship to 100, it probably your best option, but will take literally hundreds of the potions to get there. | |

Crate Expectations | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_14e569d5 | comment |
Crate Expectations: Crates can be found in dungeons and in some parts of Selphia Plain. They can be broken by attacks or by throwing them at enemies, both which sometimes reveal items. However, crates found in some of the later dungeons are explosive that can hurt Lest/Frey if they are too close. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: Maya Road's underground sections have certain rooms with gates that have an abnormally fast monster spawn rate. These rooms can be used to level up very quickly provided you have the means to survive the onslaught of enemies. Leon Karnak. After finishing the storyline mission there, on returning, it has some fairly high level enemies. Because the Heaven's Gate doesn't block the road until it becomes plot relevant (you can squeeze by it on the left), Leon Karnak is actually accessible as soon as the player has access to Obsidian Mansion. Although at such a level, they'll be knocked out in short order. | |

Little Bit Beastly: Dylas retains his horse ears and tail after turning human. Leon ends up with fox features. Amber has antennae, and occasionally wings. Dolce has pointed ears, but since she is human this is also likely from her monster form. | |

The Cameo: Raven and Barrett both visit Selphia regularly. You can even make an Order to make them visit every day. Also Mistress Trupin, if you look past her standard villager appearance. Additionally, Frey has a run-in with Iris and Candy in the official Nintendo Dream comic. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_1e7487cd | comment |
Breaking the Fourth Wall: With a healthy dose of Lampshade Hanging for good measure in the "Mood Reversal Medicine" event. When Jones gives Lest/Frey the medicine, he'll note that there's a label that says "Does not affect main character." He has no idea what this means. A random conversation the main character can have with Kiel has him talking about fictional worlds. One of the responses they can give him is "This world is fictional." He thinks they're kidding, but then asks "You were kidding... right?" In one conversation with Porcoline, he will ask the player to stand with him forever. If the response is yes, he'll say that as long as there is "power flowing into this device" they can stand there endlessly, leaving Lest/Frey confused as to what he's talking about. | |

Androcles' Lion: Two of the monsters that can join your adventures without needing any other way to tame it are a Green and a high-leveled Silver Wolf found in the Arc 2 areas Idra Cave and Sechs territory respectively. You rescue the Green from being trapped while you fed the hungry Silver Wolf, with both monsters joining your party in gratitude. | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: It's hard to tell how much time has passed between the events of Rune Factory 1 and 4. Emperor Ethelberd is much older, but Barret still mentions being teacher of Rune Factory 2's second generation children. Raven also hasn't aged much, but make commentaries about former characters like Collete and Rusk inheriting their father's business already implied a somewhat significant time gap between Rune Factory 3 and 4 as well. | |

| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_2055231 | comment |
Leaked Experience: Monsters in your barn gain 50% of your combat EXP. This is particularly useful for monsters that drop items in the barn every day, as that item's level depends on the monster's level. However the townsfolk of Selphia do not gain any form of leaked experience. | |

Mistaken Identity | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_231e8193 | comment |
Mistaken Identity: Lest/Frey is not the noble the town was waiting for. Arthur was. This is particularly hilarious as Frey, because Arthur is obviously a guy's name, yet despite her explicitly pointing this out, nobody really believes that she might be the wrong person until the real Arthur finally shows. | |

Mythology Gag | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The game instructions mention that the Sechs Empire was temporarily known as Zzyzx, and that historians believe the temporary name change to be due to an illness within the Empire's ranks, or a practical joke. This is what the empire was called in Rune Factory Frontier, the other game localized by XSEED Games. It's been referred to as (and generally preferred as) Sechs in every other game. The lack of a "canon" love interest in the game proper may count as this: in every other game, the Implied Love Interest was usually the one who gave you your house. It was usually heavily hinted that they were doing this because they were interested in you from the very beginning, and if you married them it was treated as you repaying their generosity. The only people in this game who can really be credited with giving you your house are Ventuswill, who isn't an option, and Arthur, who is letting you stay in what would have been his home because it's part and parcel of you taking on what would have been his job. | |

A Winner Is You | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_27b418da | comment |
A Winner Is You: Compared to the fanfare after you rescue Leon and the dramatic, lengthy ending after you finish the second act of the story, the final conclusion after you clear Rune Prana is... underwhelming. There's little acknowledgment from the rest of the town that it happened, and you don't even get to watch the credits roll again after having fully wrapped up the story. | |

Same Content, Different Rating: The game on 3DS was rated E10+ despite XSEED's adding more (mild) profanities and innuendoes in the hopes the game would be rated Teen. Special, on Switch, was given the Teen rating they were hoping for despite not being that different content-wise to the Vanilla version; even in both its Newlywed mode and Another Episode mode. | |

Beef Gate: After accessing Autumn Road you can travel far enough to access Maya Road. However enemies there are much more powerful and some are highly resistant, or outright absorbs, Physical damage which most weapons up to this point in the game do. While everything basically screams "DO NOT ENTER YET" if you're crazy (or skilled) enough you can find Gold and Sapphire early to create powerful equipmentnote having a tamed monster with elemental attacks can also help surviving early Maya Road. | |

Trying to get all the recipes? The bosses at the end of the Sharance Mazes will drop a random Recipe Bread, which contains one high-level recipe. If you get bread for a type whose recipes you already learned (especially Farming and Medicine, which can be completed even without them), it's 10 floors of dungeoneering down the drain. The alternative is to look up the recipes and Level Grind to absurd levels so that you have enough RP to learn the recipe by making them. And recipes are one of the few things you don't carry over with a New Game Plus... | |

Lethal Chef: Vishnal. If Frey marries him, he may give her a Fail or a Super Fail each day. Forte as well. Unusually for this trope Forte will use her failed dishes against enemies once she hits a high enough level. Frey, in a comic, ends up making so many failed dishes that it fills her shipping bin. One of Xiao Pai's rewards when you complete a quest for her is also a Failed Dish. | |

Official Couple: Averted. While you've always been able to pick whichever marriage candidate you like, the previous three games made it really obvious which one was canon. Not here, though — every marriageable NPC is treated pretty much equally. While various adaptations have picked one couple or another, they all ended up choosing differently. note The official Nintendo Dream comic chooses to set up Lest with Dolce and Frey with Dylas (as well as providing more hints towards Raguna and Iris), the Manga adaptation firmly establishes Margaret as Lest's love interest, and one advertisement comic has Frey and Kiel marry. | |

Barrier Maiden: Inverted in Ventuswill. Her death would release enough runies to sustain the world until a new native dragon would be born. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Toast can be a good early to mid RP recover food. All you need are two Flours and an Oven with a relatively low Cooking skill to make; 8 for Bread and 21 for Toast. Hot Milk is a good option in terms of RP recovery since it takes a fairly low Cooking skill (17) to make without using too much RP and all you need is a Pot and one type of Milk which can be gotten from Buffamoos after clearing Yokmir Forest. If you tame a few of them you'll get a steady daily supply of Milk, and unlike Toast, Hot Milk can be made with better, leveled up, Milk to increase its RP recovery. | |

Recurring Boss | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_3bb81225 | comment |
Recurring Boss: Greater Demon, Grimoire, Dead Tree, Chimera, Crystal Mammoth, and Octopirate (all bosses originating from previous games) have two variants each. Their first variants can be found in Field Dungeons or somewhere in the overworld dungeons. Their second variants (denoted with 2 at the end of their names) can be found in Leon Karnak and Rune Prana. These second variants are stronger with more moves, higher stats, and some have rare drops that their first variants lacked. | |

Bittersweet Ending: Act 2 ends with Lest/Frey defeating Ethelberd, leaving the Sechs Empire to shambles. However, to do that, they have to kill Ventuswill who got possessed by him. While she assures the villagers that she returned to the Forest of Beginnings, since Death is Cheap for monsters, it would be a long process for her to return. However, you can accelerate her return by doing an event. | |

Trying to cook ingredients that don't add up to a recipe results in a Failed Dish or a Disastrous Dish, which are the opposite of your normal Power-Up Food. This turns out surprisingly useful if you throw it at the enemy instead of trying to eat it yourself — Lethal Chef Forte already knows this and will do it if you bring her into combat. | |

Useless Useful Spell: Inverted. Standard status effects such as poison, seal, and even instant kill all work very well even into the post game where they shine the most. In fact, inflicting seal on the Hover Soldiers in the Floating Empire disables their one single attack. The sick and fatigue status while not helpful in battle at least builds your own resistance to them. Its a lot better building the immunity this way. | |

But Thou Must!: At one point in Vishnal's main sub-event, an options menu will come up with only one option. Not two options that mean the same thing. One option. Taken to its logical extreme when Lest/Frey speaks to Ventuswill after rescuing Dolce. While they are provided plenty of options, not only do they reach the same conclusion regardless, but they are forced to select every last option at some point during the conversation. Lest/Frey only gets a say in what order they go. Sometimes. On multiple occasions when Porcoline confesses his undying love to the player, they're presented with a long list of options that all harshly shut him down. Porcoline may or may not even notice, and if he does, he may or may not have been serious. | |

Not Completely Useless: Any weapon "upgraded" with Scrap Metal+ will only do one damage per hit. Normally, this makes them Joke Items. However, Mineral Squeeks drop one item every time you hit them, but only have 4 HP. Suddenly, a weapon upgraded with Scrap Metal+ becomes extremely useful for farming items from Mineral Squeeks, as it's the one thing capable of hitting them more than once without defeating them. | |

All the Worlds Are a Stage | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_56a6927b | comment |
All the Worlds Are a Stage: The Forest of Beginnings, which the protagonist travels to twice. The first time is made up of only the areas they traveled to previous, not the ones after, save Leon Karnak. The second time it becomes a gigantic dungeon called Rune Prana and can only be accessed from Leon Karnak. | |

Fake-Out Fade-Out: After beating Sarcophagus and sacrificing their chance to return home to ensure Leon's safety, Lest/Frey will sit down and the credits will roll... for about five seconds, at which point Venti shows up to chew them out and bring them back. Then the credits will roll for real. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_5b81ca8d | comment |
Disc-One Nuke: A minor example for the first dungeon, Forte starts at roughly level 12 (hardly surprising, given her profession) and she starts with the second tier long sword. She's also the only person you can ask to go adventuring with you immediately. Even the boss of the dungeon doesn't stand a chance against her, and she won't even take scratch damage until halfway through the second dungeon, even farther if you fill in her missing equipment slots. Gaining access to the forge and workbench as soon as possible can also make the first few dungeons of the game incredibly easy, although this is later prevented from becoming too powerful, as use of the forge is expected, and high level materials either become locked away or guarded by monsters too powerful for you to beat at that stage of the game. With some luck you can get a weapon or magic from 1st place in early festivals that's way more powerful than it should be, like, say, a Level 4 Screw Rock that deals up to 1000 damage when your level has barely touched the double digits. Said magic is so powerful it can easily carry you from the entire first act to about half of the second one with very little problem. | |

Implied Love Interest | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_5fc3ab7f | comment |
The lack of a "canon" love interest in the game proper may count as this: in every other game, the Implied Love Interest was usually the one who gave you your house. It was usually heavily hinted that they were doing this because they were interested in you from the very beginning, and if you married them it was treated as you repaying their generosity. The only people in this game who can really be credited with giving you your house are Ventuswill, who isn't an option, and Arthur, who is letting you stay in what would have been his home because it's part and parcel of you taking on what would have been his job. | |

We Hardly Knew Ye: Depending on the player's pace, Ventuswill herself can be this. It can be a little hard to get emotional about her disappearing at the end considering the player can easily speed through the parts of the game when she's conscious and drag on parts where she's not, leading to minimal contact and relationship development. | |

While there aren't any offensive Love-elemental spells to equip, throws done by Lest or Frey wielding gloves deal Love damage. | |

| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Monsters have "EV training" mechanic meaning that they can grow far stronger if you take your time to defeat certain monsters before you start leveling them up. The game doesn't mention which hostile monsters reward certain stat boosts. Crafting, especially weapons, has a lot of hidden mechanics that are never explained to the player and even with some in-depth guides there's a fair chance you'll still be confused by them. | |

Noob Bridge | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_6fa1e7a2 | comment |
Noob Bridge: Right around the Maya Road area, monsters start ramping up severely in difficulty for players who aren't making use of the crafting system. It's a common experience for players to suddenly start dying repeatedly around that area and then wonder if they should be level grinding, only to be told (either via looking it up in a guide or asking fans) that equipment is much more important than levels and that they need to be making more powerful gear. The Free-Farming Shoes provide many new players a lesson in why they should always read the item descriptions. The Free-Farming Shoes allow you to farm outside the game's normal grid lines, which it tells you in its description. However, many players equip them without reading this, and then ask online if their game is glitched, because they're suddenly unable to farm within the regular grid. | |

Seemingly Hopeless Boss Fight: The climax of the second arc pits you against Ethelberd. The first phase is a normal fight, the second is hopeless after he turns on his Deflector Shields, the third is the opposite of hopeless as Ventuswill is fighting by your side and will heal you if you run out of HP, the fourth after he merges with Ventuswill is technically an Open-Ended Boss Battle but his stats are so absurdly high that you can pretty much only win on New Game Plus, and the fifth and sixth phases are just damage sponges that can't reasonably hope to overcome your inflated stats. | |

Luck-Based Mission | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_98b1dc8f | comment |
Luck-Based Mission: The final plot event after the player finishes the main storyline is triggered at random. The only thing you can do about it is clear out any other random plot events that pop up as fast as possible. Along with the Double Bed and Ring required, you also need to trigger a specific event before you can propose to someone. Worse, the event is different for each person, and some of THOSE may need ANOTHER event to have happened already. Trying to get all the recipes? The bosses at the end of the Sharance Mazes will drop a random Recipe Bread, which contains one high-level recipe. If you get bread for a type whose recipes you already learned (especially Farming and Medicine, which can be completed even without them), it's 10 floors of dungeoneering down the drain. The alternative is to look up the recipes and Level Grind to absurd levels so that you have enough RP to learn the recipe by making them. And recipes are one of the few things you don't carry over with a New Game Plus... | |

| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_9a1f23bf | comment |
Controllable Helplessness: When Ethelberd starts to Etherlink with Ventuswill, while you have all your moves and such, the villain is currently invulnerable under Deflector Shields, meaning that there's nothing effective you can do except watch it happen. | |

Eldritch Location | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_9bee1a7f | comment |
Eldritch Location: The massive Heavenly Gate has caused Leon Karnak to fuse with the Forest of Beginnings, the origin of all monsters. When you enter Leon Karnak for the first time, the interior consists of various different areas from earlier in the game patched together with various expanses of white void interspersed throughout. | |

Foreshadowing: If you take a companion with you when you go search for the Chipsqueak that stole Venti's Charm from you, they'll call your name in confusion as you move to catch it. If you look closely, the Chipsqueak is also transparent, showing that it's not actually real and your companion sees you chasing after absolutely nothing. | |

Continuity Nod | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_9dab0a6e | comment |
Continuity Nod: The main villain's motivation is based primarily around events from the first game in the series, and uses plot devices from the second, although the game is vague enough in referencing these. It explains the basics that the player needs to know too, so that if they haven't played the first two games it might just sound like the main villain happened to have an encounter with an Earthmate once and one of the people who frequently visits town conveniently knows about the rare spells being used. Various hints show that Margaret is Daria's little sister, and in her cameo appearance, Raven will talk about Gaius. Barrett will also make some callbacks to Alvarna. Also, during one of the town events, Barrett and Raven will hallucinate about being Kyle and Micah, respectively. One of Barrett's lines is that he lampshades how every town seems to have a member of the De Sainte-Coquille family. And even lampshades how weird their huge fat faces are and wonders "Will Max (Handsome son of Herman De Sainte-Coquille) look like that someday?" Mistress Trupin also has a number of lines that scream "I AM MIST" up to and including recounting an incident where she gave a traveler collapsed from hunger a hoe and watering can (which is how the first Rune Factory game starts). She also mentions having once met a man and woman who shared a body. | |

Game-Favored Gender | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_a4dca67 | comment |
Game-Favored Gender: While gameplay-wise the player has a Purely Aesthetic Gender, the story occasionally seems to favor a female protagonist (perhaps in an apology for shafting them in previous games of the series). The prospective children far more resemble Frey than Lest or any of the marriage candidates, and every townsperson has a special conversation they will share with them upon reaching 100FP. Male candidates tend to veer into quasi-romantic territory, even when playing as Lest, whereas female candidates are more strictly platonic, even when playing as Lest and dating or married to them. | |

Unique Enemy | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_b0e18b32 | comment |
Unique Enemy: Typhoon monsters can only spawn on one particular bridge in Sercerezo Hill on the day of a typhoon. It cannot spawn anywhere else in the game (not even in randomly generated dungeons from Dungeon Flowers or Sharance Maze). Should you defeat or tame it, you'll have to wait for the next typhoon for it to show up again. While it doesn't have a boss theme playing when you encounter it, a single Death Fungus (originally from Rune Factory 3) spawns on Mush Road every Friday. They cannot be tamed, but drop the rare Holy Spore material. | |

Lost in Translation: The joke about Lest/Frey accusing Barrett of being an alcoholic. One of his favorite gift is salmon, which is "sake" in Japanese like the alcoholic drink. The pun is difficult to translate cleanly from Japanese into English, and it was changed into Barrett thinking Lest/Frey somehow misheard him saying "salmon" as "sake" rather than trying to make a really, really bad pun. | |

Power Fist | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_ca7f68c4 | comment |
Power Fist: This game introduces Fist weapons, which take the form of gloves that are used to punch enemies. Lest/Frey can also use Fist weapons to pick up enemies they've hit, leading to a few grapple attacks. | |

Lame Pun Reaction | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_cb0743c0 | comment |
Lame Pun Reaction: When Forte starts wanting a horse to complete her knighthood, Volkanon suggests she ride an Elefun instead. He thought getting her to ride it would be an elephantine task, but really, it's no tusk at all. Everyone else gets "..." bubbles over their heads and a gust of wind blows through the town square. The Elefun in question decides to trample him in irritation. | |

An Entrepreneur Is You: Don't feel like farming or fighting monsters? Load up your Shop Box with items you no longer need, and start haggling for money from travelers and townspeople. Especially once you start making progress in Sharance Maze, where the items are both high-level and high-tier, and sell for a pretty penny. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: Unlike the first three games Selphia has more areas than the town and the seasonal dungeons. There are also far more non-mandatory locations, dungeons to explore and lots of secrets sprinkled across the maps. You can invite two party members instead of one. Statuses and damage numbers are bigger and larger. Whereas the previous game strongest equipment rarely broke the 500 ATK, in this game if you don't break the thousands stat wise you probably won't survive the final areas of Arc 3, much less the Sharance Maze and the gigantized Dungeon Fields. | |

Developer's Foresight | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Many characters have different quotes for certain parts of story-related dungeon, some include Barret and Raven, two characters that are expected to be nothing but guests from previous games. The earlier instance, and a rather amusing one, is taking Forte to Yokmir Forest, she'll be left confused at why Lest/Frey are talking to themselves (as part of the in-game tutorial). Quotes range from somewhat serious to outright silly like Amber chipperly being happy that she'll get honey from Rafflesia, a giant monster flower. Forte is deathly afraid of ghosts, so naturally if you bring her to the Obsidian Manor, during its story events, which involves a ton of ghosts, she'll be freaking out at every turn and at one point she'll actually use her Escape spell to go away... and then return to you utterly mortified she's shown that side of her. Your child has unique dialogue for going through Yokmir Forest for the first time—the very first dungeon—which is very difficult to see, unless you manage to marry Vishnal (and only Vishnal is possible to marry this early) before ever leaving town. Doug becomes your rival after clearing Yokmir Cave. He'll still work at Sincerity General Store on his regular hours, but as a sign of animosity, he won't say a word to you as you do business with him. | |

Pajama-Clad Hero: Talk to someone when they're at the beach in summer and ask them to go adventuring with you; they'll run around in their swimsuit the entire time, despite normally changing clothes instantly when leaving the beach. If you have someone's affection high enough, you can get them to let you in their house early in the morning or late at night, catching them in their pajamas; ask them to go adventuring then and you get the trope. Once you unlock the costume shop, you too can run around defeating monsters in absurd clothing. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: This game brings a good number of positive quality of life changes which is impressive given how much the previous game had already improved. Normal weapon attacks no longer consume RP which is a godsend especially for early game or in a Low-Level Run. Ultimate attacks still do, however. Dash has its own dedicated button instead of double tapping directions and you must dash to use said attacks— it's no longer possible to perform after just running around a bit. Not only this makes combat more fluid it also prevents players from accidentally using dash attacks which usually have longer recovery times and cannot be easily canceled. While you still have access to seasonal fields, you can grow any type of crop in your farms during any season, although their growth speed will suffer if you try to raise them in unfavorable seasons, even more if its an outright stated poor season. This way you don't have to worry about getting all your crops withering and dying if you miscalculated the time you needed for them to fully grow. Fields are now 2x2 instead of 3x3 and depending on the crop they yield more than just one vegetable/fruit/flower. The 2x2 fields also only need one Formula/Greenifier/Not Rot to affect all crops which helps a lot in saving time and money when tending to a large number of farms and fields. Holding the grab button will have your character grabbing the same type of item regardless of level, which can be very helpful, especially if said item is surrounded by other things you do not want to pick up. You no longer consume any Recipe Bread if you wouldn't learn anything from it. You can get shopkeepers to sell their wares if you invite them to your party and move to their shops, as long as they're within business hours. You can check your Shipping Box and put everything inside or take outside at your own leisure. This not only helps save time, but also prevents you from accidentally shipping something you didn't mean to. Speaking of shipping items, they are now shipped at 8AM instead of 5PM, so you'll earn money to spend just before shops open and you won't need to wait until the next day. Barret is here for the purpose of checking your equipment and reminding you what items were used to craft or upgrade whatever equipment you have at hand in case you forgot what was used to make what, or want to check a strange property of a random item reward. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_d9ffec82 | comment |
A minor example for the first dungeon, Forte starts at roughly level 12 (hardly surprising, given her profession) and she starts with the second tier long sword. She's also the only person you can ask to go adventuring with you immediately. Even the boss of the dungeon doesn't stand a chance against her, and she won't even take scratch damage until halfway through the second dungeon, even farther if you fill in her missing equipment slots. | |

Lethal Joke Item | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_da1c64ef | comment |
Lethal Joke Item: Trying to cook ingredients that don't add up to a recipe results in a Failed Dish or a Disastrous Dish, which are the opposite of your normal Power-Up Food. This turns out surprisingly useful if you throw it at the enemy instead of trying to eat it yourself — Lethal Chef Forte already knows this and will do it if you bring her into combat. Object X, the failed chemistry result, depletes all your RP and inflicts every Status Effect at once. In addition to the idea of tossing it at the enemy, you can take a dose every night before bed to grind your resistances. Mealy Apples. They are rare drops from the hidden Typhoon enemy that only appears during a Tornado on a specific location. Does even worse things to you than what a Failed Dish would if you try to eat them. If used for upgrading your equipment, it actually reverses the effects of the previously used material. By the way, did you know that upgrading equipment with Object X provides a massive stat reduction? Consider the implications of that for a moment. | |

Acquired Poison Immunity: It never quite reaches the level of immunity, but suffering any of the game's Status Effects levels up a corresponding resistance skill. Drinking a dose of Object X every day before bed is a good way to grind everything at once. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_f4a0408f | comment |
Wake-Up Call Boss: Thunderbolt in Water Ruins is a big step up compared to Ambrosia. This boss is much more aggressive and hits hard. Chipping it away with magic is more difficult since Thunderbolt has a bad habit of charging at you and dangerous ranged attacks of its own. Unless you're grossly overpowered you're not getting past this boss with only brute force. Rafflesia in Delirium Lava Ruins. So far you could've beaten bosses through a combination of brute force and luck, but this is a boss you can't just bumble your way to victory. It summons enemies and spreads status effects to debilitate your allies, it also heals up and will regenerates its lost parts. If you think you can win just tanking hits and attacking mindlessly Rafflesia can be a nasty surprise. | |

Ventuswill's life is also at stake since Ethelberd holds the last Rune Sphere. Rune Prana for Arc 3, the place where Lest/Frey must venture into in order to bring back Ventuswill from the Forest of Beginnings. Chock-full of bosses, many of them from previous games and with enemies having power far beyond the last dungeon of the regular game. | |

Running Gag | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: The option to sleep in another person's bed is in this game as well. If Lest/Frey is dating someone, it changes a bit, and if they marry them, their particular dialogue if they go back to their old bed will change yet again. | |

Item Crafting | |
| Rune Factory 4 (Video Game) / int_ff34c05a | comment |
Item Crafting: As with all Rune Factory games. Taken to the extreme with the ability to upgrade your weapons with various crafting items 10 times per weapon. For example, upgrading a weapon with toxin gives it the chance to poison the target. Almost everything you find has a different upgrade effect, giving nearly endless possibilities to weapons customization. | |
