I'd love a remake solely for the mechanics of the new ones! I've already faced the sad situation where I missed putting an item in the shipping bin and watched it disappear. I really wish you can pick up things off the ground...
Isn't RFF a sequel of the first one? I was always under the impression it was (why would you split up best friends?!).
Oh, and if anyone stumbles upon this thread and wanted to know what "Expirty: some numbers" means, it's how long the effects of the food will last. So "Expirty: 210" means 210 minutes of whatever effects eating that food will bring. The food isn't gonna rot in your inventory...I'm so glad I found that out before I ate the Ultimate Curry Emmett gave me!
It is a sequel of sorts. When you run into Mist in the first game, you basically get to choose "MIST?!?!?!" Or "Who the heck are you?" And from that the intro of old characters will either be them remembering you from RF1 or not.
But yeah, Melody doesn't even get any letters from Sharon in RFF as far as I know. ;-; Just makes me sad. (Then again, Melody in RFF had some things changed/made canon/clarified/whatevered depending on who you ask, so she just kind of had some weirdness going on all together.)
So it's basically either a sequel that assumes you never got married in RF1 or a "enhanced remake" sort of deal depending on what you chose at the start. It's a tad clunkily done imho, as it doesn't exactly explain those two options meaning anything, but eh.
To me it sounds like RFF was their way of enhancing the first one in a way, especially you saying that you can acknowledge the first one or ignore it all together. Though it's very strange that they changed Melody, I wonder why they did that. That and why did they exclude others from the first one? That just seems strange to me.

There are some fish and monster drops that you can only get in winter and never, never ever use the sleeping bag in that cave in winter 30. It will glitch out and kill your save.
The sleeping bag is only good for raising your crafting levels by upgrading it imo, other than that it's just sitting in my shelf. The camping skill is dumb, don't bother.
Item drop rate depends on the time of the day, I don't know the exact numbers but they just weirdly do.
Till the land that you'll use and let the untilled ones grow weeds and spawn wood for easy lumber.
For energy, the easiest ones to make are nasu eggplant, soba noodles and popcorn.
It got so...long. Oh be careful about harvesting or milking animals that are too close together because you might end up with just one animal product.
And uh, the house doesn't upgrade itself instantly it will take days (weeks?) to finish so plan accordingly.
(if this is considered necro, sorry!)
It's okay Anon! I think after 10 days is when a thread is considered dead so you should be fine! Grass doesn't regrow? Well that's the pits. What's "that cave" that I should avoid using a sleeping bag? I never really messed with sleeping bags in RF2, so I didn't see myself using one in this one either, but that's a nice heads up, that would've killed the game for me if my save died. I didn't know that about the house upgrades either, does that mean you won't have access to certain areas of the house while it's going on? Thanks for the info, it's very helpful!
I think they mean the cave that you can only access in winter. The is a dungeon that is winter only, and if you use your sleeping bag in it on Winter 30, then it'll go to Spring 1, when the cave is inaccessible, causing the glitch.
If I remember right sleeping bags are important? Cause the gates will reset if you leave the dungeon and you have to grow crops on there to have enough rp for the bosses and yada yada.

I think it depends on how much you level up and play. I hardly remember using sleeping bags expect spamming them in the first cave to max the skill because I wanted to completely 100% RF1. But doing so also meant I grinded a lot so I probably was also way OP for the dungeons I was in just because I was crafting all the time. (Plus the mob drop rates are so low you HAVE to grind like nuts in RF1 to get their materials iirc.)
As a side note, although the music has often been reused, esp in RF4, RF1 still has my favorite music out of the RFs.

That's what I like to do, like I'll just sit in an area and just keep grinding for materials for crafting and such. I don't find it particularly entertaining, but I like going into boss fights completely OP in the RF series, especially if it's because of what I crafted. I don't mind if I have to use sleeping bags though!
Also, that makes sense with the Winter cave glitch. I didn't think about that for Spring, but doesn't this game have a teleport skill? Unless that just teleports you to the beginning of the cave or something...
For music, I like when I catch references to older ones. Like Padova Mountains from RF2 popping up in RF4, that's always fantastic to find.
