I definitely think the building could be MC's farmhouse - doesn't seem too unlike one to me - but a guild or a smithy would be SO cool, so I genuinely hope that's what it is. I love guilds in video games in general, and management elements where you get to run a shop or business are so fun! I think they would be really well suited to Rune Factory already, since you can make your own accessories/weapons/tools to begin with. Would be neat if the townsfolk posted requests for items they want you to craft, and you can deliver them to them! If the building is far away from town, that would be cute, working on stuff at your workshop and then running it out to the town for people~
I'm not gonna get my hopes up for that, because like people have mentioned it's all speculation!! But dang, that idea is so cute, I love it.
I'M SO EXCITED to see the bachelors and bachelorettes too!! RF4's cast had such great designs imo, and all of the characters felt really intricate and in depth to me? At least in comparison to previous games, as well as earlier games in the SoS/HM franchise. I (still) couldn't choose who to marry, because everyone was so darn charming... ;-;
And I'm so hoping for some more Univir characters! Or a new fantasy race?? That would be super exciting. :0c
It's probably too early to tell, but I think the MC's seem super cute too, LOL!!
The color purple being important is also very interesting!! Don't know how to take that but--
