Ushi No Tane Forum

Yeah, there seems to be nothing new about the tweet. It's just Hashimoto comparing Frontier and Oceans / Tides saying while the former was about Raguna coming across a "deserted" frontier town and gradually filling it with life, Oceans was a sea motif where the protagonists come to see a lively island community like their family.

While Tides isn't my most favorite RF game in the franchise, examples like it remind me how cool it is that each entry feels different. Still gunning for an eastern town or "silk road" setting for 5.

I have been waiting for this announcement for so long...every six months or so since I first finished playing RF4 I'd google "RF5" and hope something would show up...then Neverland went under and I was so crushed!

But!

Now!

WE RISE FROM THE ASHES!

I hope they fix the random event trigger for RF4. In other news I cancelled all my other cosplays and am only focusing on Pia from RF3 in celebration!

Don't know if this's been posted before, but on this link it kinda looks like there's gonna be more anime cutscenes for special. Has anyone else seen anything about it?

Yeah, they mentioned that in the Direct, iirc...that the game is going to have newly done cutscenes. I believe they've revamped existing cutscenes to be even spiffier, and this made it sound like they might be adding more as well...perhaps just making them for events that already exist but don't have actual cutscenes? I don't know if it means completely new events in the main game, though. I don't think they've expanded beyond merely mentioning that new cutscenes were added, so I don't think we've got any more info on it, yet.

Drat :/ I saw the anime cutscene pics and thought it was new info

That's okay We're here to discuss info anyway. The 'new cutscenes' is something we don't really know about, afaik. I don't even know if it just refers to the new content of the 'honeymoon mode' or if they're events from the original part of the game that now get cutscenes. I'm a bit confused about the 5 options they show on the title screen of the Japanese version...honeymoon mode, story, another episode, commentary, online manual. (I wonder if we'll even get the 'commentary' part in English, if it's just the Japanese development team members talking about the game. Or the JP voice actors.) The new cutscenes might fit in multiple places.

Well, I can't speak Japanese, so I've only been going on talesofthreetowns tumblr post.

99% sure the new anime cutscene screens we've seen are for newly wed mode and aren't replacing the existing ones. It wouldn't make sense, contextually / plot-wise in respect to their respective marriage sub-events. However, what I do think is being replaced is the actual opening animation itself. The new anime screenshot of Doug on the official website is under "New opening movie" aka the song we heard in the Direct. This doesn't guarantee that the og 3ds OP will be completely cut out in RF4 Special. I hope not. I want to see what the the original OP is like on the Switch. And maybe it'll alternate between different openings, the old one and the Switch version each time you boot the game up or let the menu screen phase out.

Hey how possible would it be to maybe have fixed-randomly generated events for rf5?
Like, say you got to 10 hearts with your honey, Instead of pulling from one-hundred-some events, it'd be like the marriage event gets triggered within 50 days or so of reaching that point

That way it's still a "different experience" for each player, but it might relieve some of the frustrations regarding the random events

Omg, I so excited! I can't wait until we get info about 5!

I just hope it goes back to Frontier's direction.

Though as mentioned in my thread about candidates, I hope we
get ones that actually go the extra mile to differentiate themselves
from the regular series.

I'm sick of the only different being mostly a pointed ears thing, and
I hate how candidates that are actually monsters look the same as
the rest when in human form.

I don't mind human-esque forms, as it'd be hard to fit in bed with, say,
an actual dragon, but they NEED to actually look like monsters even
when human.

Scales all over, fangs, demonic eyes, monster looking appendages, etc.
If you're going to give a candidate monster/demon origins, actually run with
the idea completely, make it worth our time, don't throw it out the window
the moment you human-ify them. It defeats the entire purpose if they forsake
what/who they are a majority of the game.

Sorry to be a party-pooper, but if your images are so big they stretch the page, or if you have a lot of them, please place them behind a spoiler cut to prevent the page from being distorted.

(edited spoiler tags in myself, hope you don't mind!)

I think those pictures are actually a lot like what the "half monster" candidates in RF4 looked like, but I agree, the girls in RF4 didn't really have any noticeable features beyond pointy ears (or Amber's wings showing on rare occasions), only the guys kept their monster features.

Looking at the second pic makes me realize I would loooooove a wolf girl candidate!!! A wolf dude would be okay too, but wolf bachelorette would be so cool and we haven't had anything quite like that. I'd imagine her having an outgoing and loyal personality, with a feral and unpredictable streak that makes her hard to control. Her stubbornness and impulsiveness causes her to be abrasive to some people so she could be a bit of an outcast, but has a strong desire to be part of a group/family even though she can't control all of her (often predatory or destructive) instincts. Her biggest fear would be straight up abandonment or rejection by her people, so her character arc could be about finding that balance so she can get along and feel accepted by everyone in town, or give her a place to just be herself and belong if you choose to marry her. So basically how real wolves are, specifically how they behave when raised with humans. (Wolves are my favorite animal haha)

But I don't know what kind of fantastical candidates we're getting this time because I have a very strong suspicion that RF5 is going to take place in the Eastern (Asian-style) country. The coloring and camellia(? or peony) motif in the logo are heavily suggesting that, so far. I think Dai has the right idea with his theory though I don't know where the developers plan on going with it.



(wolves used to populate Japan until they were wiped out... I mean, the movie Wolf Children was all about that... so even if RF4 is all East Asia themed they could probably fit one in there, maybe even being one of the last of her kind. lol I'm still thinking about the wolf girl idea, I really like it :p)

That would be neat, I would love to have a main girl character in a cute Kimono!

The kimono thing has been done too much in this series already in my opinion,
I'm ready for more. Though there's nothing wrong with wanting that done again,
I just hope for some fresh air all around with the next game.
