I heavily doubt it. Doug's translated profile in 5 states that:Somerandom wrote:I saw pictures of the returning characters Margaret and Doug from RF4 and they look good!
People are saying that 5 is set a few years after 4 judging by the looks of the characters.

Gematsu translated the site update from earlier.
Basically it just goes over the weapon types and some of the combat stuff. They haven't added a new weapon class this game, so if you've played 4, there's no real change.
I noticed that there will be two Dwarves named "Doug" and the dude that looks like a Saint-Coquille isn't one of them unless their (Saint-Coquille that is) JP name is completely different. Definitely the "Porcoline" of the game though, but it remains to be seen if he'll hit on the protagonist to the extent Porco did.

I like the townsfolk designs. Unique looks that aren't too flashy, but still give off their personality and fit in really well. My problem with 4 is that a few looks don't seem to mesh well with the setting.
Also, the better Doug is a snack.

Probably give them a name that sounds similar, in case they're supposed to sound similar. (Maybe they're related?) I'm guessing Dag (Sounds like "Dagger," though it also has other meanings,) or Dane, or Dog.*LaI* wrote:I wonder what XSEED will do about the "Doug" issue... the romanized name of the RF5 one is "Dogu", while the RF4 Doug is "Dagu", so technically not the same. But when you look at the name of the picture in the RF5 site it does say Doug.

I was wondering the same thing, and then I saw this post: https://tatertotarmy.tumblr.com/post/64 ... gand-lukas*LaI* wrote:I wonder what XSEED will do about the "Doug" issue... the romanized name of the RF5 one is "Dogu", while the RF4 Doug is "Dagu", so technically not the same.

They might change them, or if they keep them the same, XSeed might lampshade it or make a joke around it? That might be entertaining to constantly have the villagers asking which one because they're as confused as you are xD
Regardless of how it's romanized, his name hasn't changed. Romanization is never very consistent (or reliable) period. I'm sure his name will be Doug again.*LaI* wrote:I wonder what XSEED will do about the "Doug" issue... the romanized name of the RF5 one is "Dogu", while the RF4 Doug is "Dagu", so technically not the same.

Visual wise the game keeps looking better with every video they show but those farm fields look rough.

Which is weird since SoS sells better. Either it must be Hashimoto’s bias, or they think that the SoS fandom doesn’t really care about graphics.mario_0345 wrote:
Stuff like this shows me which game got the A treatment and which game was more of a throw it together sort of game between RF5 and SOS:PoOT.
