Ehh as soon as she smacked Amber in the face acting like she was in the right/it was a natural reaction and everyone acted like it was okay I was done with her
I was already on the fence with Illuminata with her obnoxious detective fantasies. The moment she smacked Amber before she got the full picture, she was dead to me.
See, I like them; I would almost definitely go for Murakumo... But I feel like he looks too old for the protagonist(s)! In the end I always make my choices based on shipping, not my own preferences.
It would be nice in future games if they have a setting where all NPCs are potential partners, but you can select if you want options from the younger characters or older characters. Like setting your main character's age range.
I'm already let down that we can't marry either of the single moms in this one. Granted, Simone would be kind of weird since her daughter is a bachelorette too, but all I really care about is Misasagi. Yeah yeah, I know. I know. Japan. Women over 21 are pretty much dead to the world. If they ain't married yet, they ain't gonna be. And with a kid? Forget about it. But come on. If you're gonna put them off limits, tone down the designs. And Murakumo is an eligible bachelor. Misasagi and Simone are just taunting me since their designs are both, to me, way better than any of the actual bachelorettes. And having a kid going into the marriage seems like it would bring in some interesting storytelling opportunities. Oh well. No point crying over spilt milk. Maybe they'll add more options via DLC. I hate being nickel and dimed with content, but I'd buy a DLC that added more marriage partners and options.
SAME! My biggest gripe of RF4 was every bachelor was so... baby face. Honestly, Wilder said not being able to marry Illuminata was the biggest sin, but not being able to marry Bado was also a sin.
The fact I’m already simping for Ryuka but didn’t even think about Nagito, really shows I have a type 😂 I never learn, it always gotta be the white haired men with baggage
That actually sounds plausible for a JRPG. Heck, that could work for Rune Factory. Main character questing to retrieve memories from dungeons, while the townspeople go through the motions of their lives. i.e. a husband and wife running an in believing that they're just employer and employee until you get the memory back.
RF game where the protagonist is the only one WITHOUT amnesia lmaoooo. They come back to their home town after an extended period away to find that everyone has lost their memories and you have to bring their memories back before something bad happens, lol
As a Christian, I wouldn't mind that theory being true. I can be with my Spouse in-game too lol. Maybe He's here in Rickbar to turn the succubi Ludmila around for the better, like He did to Mary Magdalene, to support that theory. The other boy candidates, Lucas not so much though, are pretty cool too. I can't wait to meet them. Maybe Ryuka is a ninja?
Ryuka/Lyka really reminds me of Skye from Harvest Moon DS Cute. White hair, mysterious, initially mistook him for a woman... If he does turn out like Skye, I'm not complaining lol
This is definitely my favorite lineup of RF Bachelorettes. None of the other RFs had losers but so far RF5 has nothing but winners. Illuminata was a sin yes but so is Murakumo's sister :(
Literally everyone, I love literally EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER so far!! It's gonna be so hard to pick just one for my main game! But multiple saves, here I come!!
Murakumo is my top choice for this game 💕 I’m so glad we have a choice who looks much different from the other bachelors. That’s some good stuff 👌👌 A rough looking guy who actually has a heart of gold and goes above and beyond to make his guests happy? Yes pls!!
Same! There’s so much variety in physical appearance for the guys. I wish there was more (like an older woman type) for bachelorettes. Either way can’t wait for 2021
Picking a marriage candidate out of this group will probably be the biggest challenge for me. All of the designs are amazing and the fact that we have so many characters that hold a mystery makes me want to pursue them all! Rune Factory (usually) never disappoints with marriage candidates! It is so exciting to think that it is coming out so soon along with a new Story of Seasons! 2021 is giving me hope lol
Blacksmith, Detective Boy, Wolf Girl, Ranger Girl? and the last guy. There may be more? But those are the ones that stood out to me the most that I would want to marry lol.
(Ludmila is shown) me: oh some sort of witch that deals with herbs and potions, that seems interesting Wilder: anyway Ludmila is a succubus me: ...go on~
@@WilderOfficial Only concern is I want the new Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons games when they come in March and that’s already over my gaming budget for the month 😂 Maybe if Rune Factory will be the next months game budget
Wayyyyyyy better designs than olive town by far!! This could actually be ok without 2D portraits because it looks that good so I’m excited!! there’s such a good variety of characters 🥰🥰🥰 can’t wait to get my hands on this for sure!!
Yeah, way better. I didn't have a problem with the female characters in Olive Town but the male designs felt boring, it's like they didn't even try which makes me sad. All the guys in this game look cool and unique.
@@lunastar7245 yeah same! I didn’t like most of the guys & even though the female characters were better for sure, overall it’s the weakest cast of characters we’ve had in my opinion. They didn’t slack not one bit with these characters at all & always come with good varieties but I know some guys might be disappointed because some of the non marriageable candidates look great too
@@CrobatmanIamthenight who said i wasn’t going to buy both games i simply said rune factory is more aesthetically pleasing to the eyes graphics wise which is 100% true and rune factory has more than just farming so the games are always more entertaining
@@CrobatmanIamthenight friends of mineral town remake was disappointing and boring there’s like nothing to do but i know this game has more i’m just not rly impressed with visuals and candidates compared to RF5 😂 at least there’s monster hunter in march if this gets boring to me
Im so excited for this!! I can't wait to meet all the characters. I usually pick one that I want to go for and a lot of the time someone else steals my heart once I really get to know all the characters! Right now Ryuka is my favourite, especially because of his butterfly aesthetic 🦋
So um, remember when I said the purple theme might make this either dark or royalty? Some of those backstories...man. Missing parents, I'm guessing the reason he grows distant from his brother is because he gave full attention to finding the parents. Another character with amnesia!? Now that is interesting. The last time that happened a dragon had taken their memories. Lucas does look proper though...maybe royalty will play into this at some point? Hmm... These back stories all have the potential to take a wrong turn really fast. That could be the reason for the purple theme. Who knows, maybe the game will be like those where everything is fine and dandy but then goes downhill after a few hours of playing?
@@WilderOfficial It'd be a fresh experience, that's for sure. I was expecting it to be a war type thing (it could develop into that) but I think it might be more like the stories of the people in town. Also Lucas...I'll be keeping an eye on him to see if my theory turns out to be true. Also I do agree with you, there's definitely something else going on. There's no way that two amnesiac's end up in the same place...at least in rune factory that is.
12 people? Wow... I love the connection between and to everyone already! I hope they all get a good story! There is so much potential! Thanks for the great work!
It's really hard to choose which bachelor or bachelorette to choose, they all look so amazing. I like how Rune Factory isn't going the supper cutesy route with their character designs like Story of Seasons did (not that I hate it or anything). I can't wait for this game!
Alright prediction time: So for the guy at 8:08 who's name I have no idea how to spell, I have a feeling he's a werewolf/has animal ears or something like that? I mean for starters he has a hood covering the top part of his head, and that day/night personality change could be due to usual werewolf trope thingamagigs
I think there are already pictures of him in his wedding outfits. Nothing suspicious under the hood. Unless he can change forms wouldn't be the first in the series.
If he was hiding animal ears under his hood that would make me like his character even more, I thought he was going to be an archer party member that hides his animal ears under his hood but sadly they didn't go with that idea :(
Well the new girls and boys have me even more interested! (Also I almost knocked my phone into my open washing machine trying to pull the video up as fast as I could.)
Im planning on getting both Rune Factory 5 and Story of Seasons Olive Town (name too long I forgot), but I got to say that the marriage candidates for Rune Factory are much more diverse in terms of appearance and personalities compared to SOS. Which i think is really nice! I need to see all of them in-game cuz I can't choose! They are all so interesting >_< Can't wait for this game to come out *also hoping for gay marriage. please please please* XD Thanks for the video as always Wilder! You are my go-to for rune factory and story of seasons content ^_^
I am planning on getting both too. I hope they don't release super closer together, these games usually last me months and months because I play them in bits. I But this might be the first time I binge play a Story of Seasons game so I have no distractions for Rune Factory 5.
@@jacobynoctis4825 lucky or unlucky(?) for us, I doubt they will release close to one another. Maybe a few months in between. Thats how it was so Rune Factory 4 Special. Took forever for that game to release in the West. XD well, who knows how its going to be honestly. I just cant wait to play them both!
Hey, this reminded me that the Japanese October trailer showed Lyka and Reinhard next to each other in what I think will be the opening video of the game, maybe they will be connected like that somehow :)
Love the info, love your commentary, keep up the great work! Cecil's name in the box there is like "se shi ru" if that helps anything, I've put a lot of time into learning my hiraganas and katakanas and get super pumped when I can read anything now! :D Older bachelors are yessssssss, handsome werearnimal guy gives me some Bado vibes which is a big YES PLEASE
I mean, as I said in the initial marriage candidates video, picking a character named Rhinehart always seems to work well for me. X) I still love his design and am curious to learn more about who he is and why he is there. Admittedly, though, I really love all the candidates- they seem to well-rounded and designed! My tops aside from Rhinehart are definitely our generous inkeep and fellow amnesiac, though. X) I will definitely be getting to know all of them better.
I'm not sure who to choose yet!! The designs all look so cool and there is still so much mystery to the backstories. Guess I'll just have to wait until I play the game~
For the first time, in any Rune Factory game, I have no idea which guy I wanna go for! I like almost all of them so far! I normally go for the quiet, broody guy. This time.... I don't know!!!
Reinheart has my whole heart and i don't want it back i looked up some japaness translations online and there was somehting like 'if you were this flower it will enhance your cutness' and i was like 'marry me marry me marry me'
@@lunastar7245 ikr?? hes really really attractive lords rune factory really knows i lm attracted to knights don't they? and it'll probally be a bit different in english but i still expect it to be just as cute
Honestly, these bachelors aren't catching my attention😒 , but maybe that's because I have a specific type 😏. I like the tough but awkward type (bonus points for blushing), so Dylas was a shoo-in for me.😁
At 4:36 the Kitsune girl who stand beside Murakumo caught my atendtion imiately and im really like realllyyyyy dissapointed and upsad that she is not in the list of mariable character...Sign... Another Hot Inn manager we couldnt marry....Shino..Lin Fa.....Whyyyyyyy..... T_T. And btw nice video~ i have been waiting your vids on RF5. Im hella hype atm for RF5
As someone who likes older bachelors... I'm a happy bean. owo But man even the younger ones're all good looking. I am so excited for RF5. Also on the cool mysterious guy at the end... Butterflies're often symbolisms of death in Japan. So maybe he's a spirit or a grim reaper, or?
There’s so many good marriage candidates this time around! I hope they give us enough save slots because I’m marrying everybody lol. My favorites are definitely Murakumo, Martin, Fuka, Ryuka, and Ludamila.
Martin and Cecil remind me of the 2 kids (Roy and Cammy) in Rune Factory kids. There color schemes are so similar and Martin is even a blacksmith, just like Roy’s mother
Can't believe nobody is talking about this. BEATRICE IS CLEARLY VENTUSWILL'S DESCENDANT. The horn and feathered wing motif, the nearly identical hair and eye color and style (when comparing against Venti's human design), the mystery and connection to the kingdom of Norad, there's genuinely NO way in my mind this isn't a coincidence. The designs are too close.
Question if it's true who's her father Lest? Ventis Another Episode shows her marrying Lest with kids although they might omit the kid part from 4S. Unless this is a LONG TIME ago thing and one of her descendants(via royals FE style) has finally came into the picture aka Beatrice.
@@bravescholarlys1127 That's an interesting question! RF4 does mention a successor to Venti, a native dragon being born to replace the last one once they kick the bucket, but doesn't go into any details, and she seemed ok with dying during the events of 4, implying it's a natural event. Possibly there was an heir or heirs out there during RF4, we just never met them? Who knows, I just think the design is TOO similar to be a coincidence. Someone else suggested she could be connected with Ethelberd and the Sechs, which I think could also be cool! But the motifs, story beats, and overall design similarity is pretty clear to me. She literally has horns and white feathered wings in her design.
@@bravescholarlys1127 I love almost every single candidate this time around! Hoping the game allows gay relationships this time around, I wanna date *everyone.*
i really like scarlett, beatrice, and ludmila. I dont know how I feel about the male bachelors, I really hope there is lgbtq marriage because I am a female.
Imagine the reason Beatrice is being tight-lipped about her identity as a royal is due to the fact she's a member of the Sech royal family and is currently in Norad for diplomatic reasons. 🤔
PLEASE be what happens! would be bold to make a Sechs royal a marriage choice would make me love Beatrice even more! Norad royal is just as good though.
I just hope the character related events doesn't trigger at random like rf4 o hated spending literal in game years waiting for those events to be ables to propose
When it's time for another RF5 video maybe we will have more info on them. I love how they remind me of the older runefactory kids. I hope they have more we can do with them. Love your videos! Huge fan!
I’m so happy that this video popped up in my recommendations! I’ve never heard of this game before 😭 But it’s my type of game! It reminds of Dark Cloud 2 but with farming and dating aspects. I can’t wait to try it! Any tips for a newbie???
Ludomila, Fuuka, Lucy and Beatrice are all fighting for my attention based on design and description. Ok, now that I know RF won't disappoint in the waifu/husbando aspect (as always), I'm interested to learn more about daily activities, exploration, combat and farming. RF4 has my favorite farming system in all the Harvest Moon/Rune Factory series, so I'm hopeful they might improve, or be inspired by that.
Honestly i dont know if i should buy 4 now or wait for 5. I only really liked forte among the available marriage candidates but at the same time ive got nothing else to play on my switch
im wondering whether they will SKIMP out on FARMING ( just like in Rune Factory Oceans... where monsters did the work and random crops popped out ) and whether it is going to be open world
All these cute girls with interesting personalities! Succubus lady currently got my heart with Lucy as a close second >w< Life is good for this lesbian who doesn’t mind having to play as a boy XD But will admit, might actually play as a girl to chase the travelling gentleman, such a cool concept to have amnesia just like the MC!
@Wilder Hey Wilder! I’m one of your biggest fans and I just love your content going over Story and Rune Factory! And I know this might be sudden but can you please go over Roots of Pacha, Witchbrook and Super Zoo Story please? Roots of Pacha is harvest moon sim set in the Stone Age and there you basically start a agricultural revolution by taming wild animals like bison and developing technologies like irrigation wells while with Super Zoo Story it’s a sim where you run a zoo full of animals while on a island full of townspeople to befriend and maybe even get married! Lastly Witchbrook is yet another sim where you are student at a wizardry school and new info has been revealed not so long ago! I figured that you might be interested in hearing about other Harvest Moon/Rune Factory like games that were pretty bold with the direction! Oh I also forgot to mention Seablip which is a pixel pirate RPG and lastly, most of of I just love your channel and please continue to make great content like always! Thanks for reading and you just got a subscriber! 🐮🐷🐔🍀 P.S. Would you rather have a Sci Fi Rune Factory or a Greek mythology Rune Factory? Sorry bout that! LOL!
First of all thank you so much! This was a really sweet message! As for the games I've never actually heard of them before so I'll check them out but Witchbrook sounds awesome!! I'm really interested in looking into that one. Also I would love a greek mythology rune factory😂 Not a huge fan of sci fi but I LOVE greek mythology!
@@WilderOfficial Oh my goodness! Thank so much for replying! I’m so honored that you even took the time to read this! Bless your heart for that! Thanks tremendously for this! Bless you! Have a very Merry Christmas and be safe! Thanks! 🥰😍
It either going to be murakumo because I love his outburst personality or Martin because he kinda of a loner like me and people misunderstood me through. I can’t do save files I would feel so bad for cheating on either one of them.
Rune Factory 5 had been on my radar a lot lately! I've only ever played Stardew and harvest moon/story of seasons, but this game looks interesting. Is it worth getting into the Rune Factory series as well? I imagine it would be but I'd be interested in hearing from fans of the games!!
You should definitely give Rune Factory a try, especially if you like farming sims like the games you mentioned above! It's very fun, and worth it~ I personally enjoy the character developments in the game and the storyline, oh don't forget the aesthetics too! XD
@@soyulmayo What platform do you typically play on? I saw there is a rune factory 4 on the switch (that's where I play everything) but it the experience of the game better elsewhere?
@@abbyb3308 I have played all the RF games XD the switch version of Rune Factory 4 is a lot better than the 3DS version, aside from HD graphics and some bug fixes, there is also a thing called "Newlywed Mode" which doesn't exist in the 3DS version, and they also prioritize story and required marriage town events once the requirements have been met (in the 3DS version, the chance for you to trigger the event is randomized). It's a great game to start for people who are new to RF! Rune Factory 3 in DS was also great but it's a little bit old, but still good 👍
Anybody knews what kind of creature would we have here ? In first 4 games we got elemental dragons , the fifth one could be either light or darkness beast ( but judging from the main color of the game , i'm guessing darkness )
Cecil wants to search for his missing parents. He has similar appearances to Illuminata. He also is a detective like Illuminata. Coincidence, I think not
I can’t wait for this to drop. It looks great already see 2 potential waifus lol. But seriously I’m impressed. After playing RF4 I always thought these games would be even greater better graphics and bigger open world. I foresee many play throughs
Well, I'm pretty excited for this! Rune Factory 5 seems like it's going to place a larger emphasis on dynamic character arcs than the other games, since they're already trying to entice players, so I wonder how much we'll learn about all their intricate quirks and contradictions!
I just hope the voice acting isn't cringe. Cross your fingers for a Japanese subtitles version just in case the English version is bad. Hopefully I can use the English.
The town (based on it's Katakana spelling) will either be "Rigbarth" or "Rigbath" - guess we'll find out when it releases in English! Cecil (again, based on the Katakana) SHOULD be pronounce "Seh-see-il" but dubbing does take liberties sometimes, so again we'll find out once it releases with English subtitles and voices how they decided to interpret.
リュカ is pronounced Luka, ルドミラ is pronounced Ludo Mira, フーカ is pronounced Fuka, セシル is pronounced Sesil. Japanse pronounces foreign words weirdly, one gets used to it after a while. Thought that this might be of some help.
Usually Luca is pronounced as Ruka, isn’t it? I know there is a half French boy in Gakuen Alice that is named Luca. But some of the fanbase calls him ruka because that’s how they said his name in the anime. Lol

That's what I though too! In RF4, they had Teruteru Hanamura (but not as a marriage candidate) and now, in RF5, they got Nagito Komaeda!

Imagine if they got Nagito’s voice actor to voice Ryuka 😱
Omg I thought I was the only one... I was telling my sister “wait until people start comparing him to Komaeda💀”

Ryuka, in term of designs, makes me think of Leon, my hubby. I gotta say, pretty much all of the bachelors looks pretty interresting.
If he‘s going to be voiced by Matt Mercer as well, I‘ll loose it xD

I disagree with PoOT (any excuse to use that abbreviation lol) candidates being weak, but I will agree, RF5 has some amazing choices.
the fact we probably gotta wait until fall-winter 2021 for this kills me lol like really kills me
At least we'll get PoOT in March to tie us over.
@@purelysmetalnightcore doesn’t seem as nearly as good and i like these graphics way more :(
@@purelysmetalnightcore Poot lol
@@CrobatmanIamthenight who said i wasn’t going to buy both games i simply said rune factory is more aesthetically pleasing to the eyes graphics wise which is 100% true and rune factory has more than just farming so the games are always more entertaining
@@CrobatmanIamthenight friends of mineral town remake was disappointing and boring there’s like nothing to do but i know this game has more i’m just not rly impressed with visuals and candidates compared to RF5 😂 at least there’s monster hunter in march if this gets boring to me
I wonder if ryuka is gonna be important in the main story? I think he’s my favourite design! I’m so excited for this game ahhh
Just like how Doug became important in RF4!!!
@@816262 yesss exactly!
"Not being able to marry Illuminata was one of the biggest sins of Rune Factory 4"
Huzzah! A man of quality!
sometimes I forget that she even exists
Im so excited for this!! I can't wait to meet all the characters. I usually pick one that I want to go for and a lot of the time someone else steals my heart once I really get to know all the characters! Right now Ryuka is my favourite, especially because of his butterfly aesthetic 🦋
So um, remember when I said the purple theme might make this either dark or royalty? Some of those backstories...man. Missing parents, I'm guessing the reason he grows distant from his brother is because he gave full attention to finding the parents.
Another character with amnesia!? Now that is interesting. The last time that happened a dragon had taken their memories.
Lucas does look proper though...maybe royalty will play into this at some point? Hmm...
These back stories all have the potential to take a wrong turn really fast. That could be the reason for the purple theme.
Who knows, maybe the game will be like those where everything is fine and dandy but then goes downhill after a few hours of playing?
I remember your comment about the color!! You have a really good point, I actually hope this game runs with the dark theme because I would love that
@@WilderOfficial
It'd be a fresh experience, that's for sure. I was expecting it to be a war type thing (it could develop into that) but I think it might be more like the stories of the people in town.
Also Lucas...I'll be keeping an eye on him to see if my theory turns out to be true.
Also I do agree with you, there's definitely something else going on. There's no way that two amnesiac's end up in the same place...at least in rune factory that is.
12 people? Wow... I love the connection between and to everyone already! I hope they all get a good story! There is so much potential! Thanks for the great work!
It's really hard to choose which bachelor or bachelorette to choose, they all look so amazing. I like how Rune Factory isn't going the supper cutesy route with their character designs like Story of Seasons did (not that I hate it or anything). I can't wait for this game!
Alright prediction time: So for the guy at 8:08 who's name I have no idea how to spell, I have a feeling he's a werewolf/has animal ears or something like that? I mean for starters he has a hood covering the top part of his head, and that day/night personality change could be due to usual werewolf trope thingamagigs
He definitely does nit have animal ears, it could be possible however 😳👀🤔
I think there are already pictures of him in his wedding outfits. Nothing suspicious under the hood. Unless he can change forms wouldn't be the first in the series.
@@zillo1600 Ah oof, guess my theory was debunked but yeah they might pull an RF3 again who knows? 👀
If he was hiding animal ears under his hood that would make me like his character even more, I thought he was going to be an archer party member that hides his animal ears under his hood but sadly they didn't go with that idea :(
Well the new girls and boys have me even more interested!
(Also I almost knocked my phone into my open washing machine trying to pull the video up as fast as I could.)
Just hearing all their backstories makes me hooked on all of them. They are well written and have very good designs.
Im planning on getting both Rune Factory 5 and Story of Seasons Olive Town (name too long I forgot), but I got to say that the marriage candidates for Rune Factory are much more diverse in terms of appearance and personalities compared to SOS. Which i think is really nice! I need to see all of them in-game cuz I can't choose! They are all so interesting >_< Can't wait for this game to come out
*also hoping for gay marriage. please please please* XD Thanks for the video as always Wilder! You are my go-to for rune factory and story of seasons content ^_^
I am also hoping for gay marriage 😍😍😍
I am planning on getting both too. I hope they don't release super closer together, these games usually last me months and months because I play them in bits. I But this might be the first time I binge play a Story of Seasons game so I have no distractions for Rune Factory 5.
@@jacobynoctis4825 lucky or unlucky(?) for us, I doubt they will release close to one another. Maybe a few months in between. Thats how it was so Rune Factory 4 Special. Took forever for that game to release in the West. XD well, who knows how its going to be honestly. I just cant wait to play them both!
I can't wait to see the dialogue between Reinhard and Lyka if Lyka really turns out to be a thief!
Hey, this reminded me that the Japanese October trailer showed Lyka and Reinhard next to each other in what I think will be the opening video of the game, maybe they will be connected like that somehow :)
@@azrael5839 Maybe Reinhard's secret reason for coming to the town is he's tracking Lyka?
oh man i think a lot of the cast looks so interesting im kinda a little invested in all of them but fuka and lyka are my fave girl and guys atm!
I can't wait for this game to come out 🥰. On the RF official website Lyka is the proper English name. You can see it below his Japanese name.
Thank you for always keeping us in the loop! Ahh this is SO exciting!😆👏👏💖💖
Love the info, love your commentary, keep up the great work!
Cecil's name in the box there is like "se shi ru" if that helps anything, I've put a lot of time into learning my hiraganas and katakanas and get super pumped when I can read anything now! :D
Older bachelors are yessssssss, handsome werearnimal guy gives me some Bado vibes which is a big YES PLEASE
Glad I rang the bell. Happy to see you discussing it.
I mean, as I said in the initial marriage candidates video, picking a character named Rhinehart always seems to work well for me. X) I still love his design and am curious to learn more about who he is and why he is there.
Admittedly, though, I really love all the candidates- they seem to well-rounded and designed! My tops aside from Rhinehart are definitely our generous inkeep and fellow amnesiac, though. X) I will definitely be getting to know all of them better.
I'm not sure who to choose yet!! The designs all look so cool and there is still so much mystery to the backstories. Guess I'll just have to wait until I play the game~
For the first time, in any Rune Factory game, I have no idea which guy I wanna go for! I like almost all of them so far! I normally go for the quiet, broody guy. This time.... I don't know!!!
Reinheart has my whole heart and i don't want it back i looked up some japaness translations online and there was somehting like 'if you were this flower it will enhance your cutness' and i was like 'marry me marry me marry me'
Reinheart is hot! X3 If that really is some of his lines, SO CUTE! :3
@@lunastar7245 ikr?? hes really really attractive lords rune factory really knows i lm attracted to knights don't they? and it'll probally be a bit different in english but i still expect it to be just as cute
Honestly, these bachelors aren't catching my attention😒 , but maybe that's because I have a specific type 😏. I like the tough but awkward type (bonus points for blushing), so Dylas was a shoo-in for me.😁
I thought of tharja from Fire emblem as well. You are not the only one lol.
At 4:36 the Kitsune girl who stand beside Murakumo caught my atendtion imiately and im really like realllyyyyy dissapointed and upsad that she is not in the list of mariable character...Sign... Another Hot Inn manager we couldnt marry....Shino..Lin Fa.....Whyyyyyyy..... T_T. And btw nice video~ i have been waiting your vids on RF5. Im hella hype atm for RF5
As someone who likes older bachelors... I'm a happy bean. owo But man even the younger ones're all good looking. I am so excited for RF5.
Also on the cool mysterious guy at the end... Butterflies're often symbolisms of death in Japan. So maybe he's a spirit or a grim reaper, or?
There’s so many good marriage candidates this time around! I hope they give us enough save slots because I’m marrying everybody lol. My favorites are definitely Murakumo, Martin, Fuka, Ryuka, and Ludamila.
I’m torn with these Bachelor choices! I love them all!
Aww I love Ludmilla’s(spelling???) design but her personality seems ... eh. The last girl and guy seem really cool though
There's still a bit of a difference in design from the promo art and the in game portraits but not as much as in RF4, I think.
Never played rune factory before, but it seems so good! Like story of seasons and fantasy life together.
Love all the character designs... absolutely blown away
Martin and Cecil remind me of the 2 kids (Roy and Cammy) in Rune Factory kids. There color schemes are so similar and Martin is even a blacksmith, just like Roy’s mother
Can't believe nobody is talking about this. BEATRICE IS CLEARLY VENTUSWILL'S DESCENDANT. The horn and feathered wing motif, the nearly identical hair and eye color and style (when comparing against Venti's human design), the mystery and connection to the kingdom of Norad, there's genuinely NO way in my mind this isn't a coincidence. The designs are too close.
Question if it's true who's her father Lest? Ventis Another Episode shows her marrying Lest with kids although they might omit the kid part from 4S. Unless this is a LONG TIME ago thing and one of her descendants(via royals FE style) has finally came into the picture aka Beatrice.
@@bravescholarlys1127 That's an interesting question! RF4 does mention a successor to Venti, a native dragon being born to replace the last one once they kick the bucket, but doesn't go into any details, and she seemed ok with dying during the events of 4, implying it's a natural event. Possibly there was an heir or heirs out there during RF4, we just never met them? Who knows, I just think the design is TOO similar to be a coincidence.
Someone else suggested she could be connected with Ethelberd and the Sechs, which I think could also be cool! But the motifs, story beats, and overall design similarity is pretty clear to me. She literally has horns and white feathered wings in her design.
@@yilvoxe4017 that's why she's my favorite waifu BY FAR next to Scarlett and Fuka she has a unique mystery around her that I can't wait to unravel!
@@bravescholarlys1127 I love almost every single candidate this time around! Hoping the game allows gay relationships this time around, I wanna date *everyone.*
Lucy is looking a lot like Rosetta. Her being Priscilla's childhood friend while being competitive reminds me of a Mist/Rosetta relationship
Fūka: not furry
Murakuma: furry
All the characters here look very VERY interesting! All of them have a peculiar backstory! I'm very intrigued and hyped!
Mr Amnesia is my favorite so far. Reminds me of Klaus from SOS 1.
The characters definitely look interesting. I cannot wait to play! I can't really make my decision now, so I'll wait until I actually play the game xD
can't decide between ludmilla and beatrice, probably gonna marry the both of them oops
i really like scarlett, beatrice, and ludmila. I dont know how I feel about the male bachelors, I really hope there is lgbtq marriage because I am a female.
If you guys dunnu who pursue there’s a quiz that recommends who you should go for based on your personality/whom you picked at RF4!
Imagine the reason Beatrice is being tight-lipped about her identity as a royal is due to the fact she's a member of the Sech royal family and is currently in Norad for diplomatic reasons. 🤔
PLEASE be what happens! would be bold to make a Sechs royal a marriage choice would make me love Beatrice even more! Norad royal is just as good though.
@@bravescholarlys1127 ethelberd rolling in his graves rn
Mans got beaten twice, and his descendant is dating an earthmate
WHY WOULD YOU SAY THIS WHEN THERE'S STILL SO LONG TO WAIT BEFORE WE CAN FIND OUT!? Bye-bye sleep. You will be missed.
I just hope the character related events doesn't trigger at random like rf4 o hated spending literal in game years waiting for those events to be ables to propose
There are so many save files im gonna have to keep to romance all of them!!!
Mirakumo is such a himbo. Can‘t wait to marry him!
6:27 Lucas? Rune factory DS?
Wilder! Did you see the portraits of the children? Im very excited for this game!
I did! Unfortunately I saw them as this video was uploading 😅
When it's time for another RF5 video maybe we will have more info on them. I love how they remind me of the older runefactory kids. I hope they have more we can do with them. Love your videos! Huge fan!
I’m so happy that this video popped up in my recommendations! I’ve never heard of this game before 😭 But it’s my type of game! It reminds of Dark Cloud 2 but with farming and dating aspects. I can’t wait to try it! Any tips for a newbie???
I wonder if the detective boy might be illuminati's son? We normally get a referance character from previous games and it would just sort of fit.
Ludomila, Fuuka, Lucy and Beatrice are all fighting for my attention based on design and description.
Ok, now that I know RF won't disappoint in the waifu/husbando aspect (as always), I'm interested to learn more about daily activities, exploration, combat and farming. RF4 has my favorite farming system in all the Harvest Moon/Rune Factory series, so I'm hopeful they might improve, or be inspired by that.
Honestly i dont know if i should buy 4 now or wait for 5. I only really liked forte among the available marriage candidates but at the same time ive got nothing else to play on my switch
The succubus character also gave me some Alicia (RF2) vibes as well. :)
Most diverse list of dateable characters ive seen in a sim game! Sooo excited!
When I say I trust Morakumo with my life
im wondering whether they will SKIMP out on FARMING ( just like in Rune Factory Oceans... where monsters did the work and random crops popped out ) and whether it is going to be open world
All these cute girls with interesting personalities! Succubus lady currently got my heart with Lucy as a close second >w< Life is good for this lesbian who doesn’t mind having to play as a boy XD
But will admit, might actually play as a girl to chase the travelling gentleman, such a cool concept to have amnesia just like the MC!
@Wilder Hey Wilder! I’m one of your biggest fans and I just love your content going over Story and Rune Factory! And I know this might be sudden but can you please go over Roots of Pacha, Witchbrook and Super Zoo Story please? Roots of Pacha is harvest moon sim set in the Stone Age and there you basically start a agricultural revolution by taming wild animals like bison and developing technologies like irrigation wells while with Super Zoo Story it’s a sim where you run a zoo full of animals while on a island full of townspeople to befriend and maybe even get married! Lastly Witchbrook is yet another sim where you are student at a wizardry school and new info has been revealed not so long ago! I figured that you might be interested in hearing about other Harvest Moon/Rune Factory like games that were pretty bold with the direction! Oh I also forgot to mention Seablip which is a pixel pirate RPG and lastly, most of of I just love your channel and please continue to make great content like always! Thanks for reading and you just got a subscriber! 🐮🐷🐔🍀
P.S. Would you rather have a Sci Fi Rune Factory or a Greek mythology Rune Factory?
Sorry bout that! LOL!
First of all thank you so much! This was a really sweet message! As for the games I've never actually heard of them before so I'll check them out but Witchbrook sounds awesome!! I'm really interested in looking into that one. Also I would love a greek mythology rune factory😂 Not a huge fan of sci fi but I LOVE greek mythology!
@@WilderOfficial Oh my goodness! Thank so much for replying! I’m so honored that you even took the time to read this! Bless your heart for that! Thanks tremendously for this! Bless you! Have a very Merry Christmas and be safe! Thanks! 🥰😍
Merry Christmas!! ❤
Now that Ryuka’s here I can finally achieve my dream of marrying Kross
Yes, please give me my ghost soldier boy, and let's add Gaius from Rune Factory 3 on there as characters we should have been allowed to love. T.T
Looks like I’m saving up my bday money for rune factory 5 next year🤗😂 I’m soooo excited I’ve played all the others and this one looks amazing
not many people bringing up ludmilla? design-wise reminds me of like an older melody so I'm in
Oh I'm definitely gonna marry her
It either going to be murakumo because I love his outburst personality or Martin because he kinda of a loner like me and people misunderstood me through. I can’t do save files I would feel so bad for cheating on either one of them.
Wow!!!🤩so many info about Rune Factory 5 Thank you for create the video🤗
Rune Factory 5 had been on my radar a lot lately! I've only ever played Stardew and harvest moon/story of seasons, but this game looks interesting. Is it worth getting into the Rune Factory series as well? I imagine it would be but I'd be interested in hearing from fans of the games!!
You should definitely give Rune Factory a try, especially if you like farming sims like the games you mentioned above! It's very fun, and worth it~ I personally enjoy the character developments in the game and the storyline, oh don't forget the aesthetics too! XD
@@soyulmayo What platform do you typically play on? I saw there is a rune factory 4 on the switch (that's where I play everything) but it the experience of the game better elsewhere?
@@abbyb3308 I have played all the RF games XD the switch version of Rune Factory 4 is a lot better than the 3DS version, aside from HD graphics and some bug fixes, there is also a thing called "Newlywed Mode" which doesn't exist in the 3DS version, and they also prioritize story and required marriage town events once the requirements have been met (in the 3DS version, the chance for you to trigger the event is randomized). It's a great game to start for people who are new to RF! Rune Factory 3 in DS was also great but it's a little bit old, but still good 👍
I'm so looking forward to this game!! I've played every Rune Factory game thats come out!
Anybody knews what kind of creature would we have here ? In first 4 games we got elemental dragons , the fifth one could be either light or darkness beast ( but judging from the main color of the game , i'm guessing darkness )
Im just started but already encountered my first lesser Dragon. Seems he has in "farming field" on its back, lol
Martin boutta be my first save, not even surprised at myself. I went for Vishnal and Arthur in rune factory 4, I see a pattern emerging here 😭
I am SO EXCITED for this to be released!!! I loveeeee Rune Factory four games! And nice channel, I really like your content!
Cecil wants to search for his missing parents.
He has similar appearances to Illuminata.
He also is a detective like Illuminata.
Coincidence, I think not
So I would say blacksmith, wolf man, or the succubus I am not decided yet lol mabey that last guy because he’s sounds mysterious lol
I can’t wait for this to drop. It looks great already see 2 potential waifus lol. But seriously I’m impressed. After playing RF4 I always thought these games would be even greater better graphics and bigger open world. I foresee many play throughs
Well, I'm pretty excited for this! Rune Factory 5 seems like it's going to place a larger emphasis on dynamic character arcs than the other games, since they're already trying to entice players, so I wonder how much we'll learn about all their intricate quirks and contradictions!
I just hope the voice acting isn't cringe. Cross your fingers for a Japanese subtitles version just in case the English version is bad. Hopefully I can use the English.
The town (based on it's Katakana spelling) will either be "Rigbarth" or "Rigbath" - guess we'll find out when it releases in English!
Cecil (again, based on the Katakana) SHOULD be pronounce "Seh-see-il" but dubbing does take liberties sometimes, so again we'll find out once it releases with English subtitles and voices how they decided to interpret.
リュカ is pronounced Luka, ルドミラ is pronounced Ludo Mira, フーカ is pronounced Fuka, セシル is pronounced Sesil. Japanse pronounces foreign words weirdly, one gets used to it after a while. Thought that this might be of some help.
So it really is Luka instead of Lyka?
Usually Luca is pronounced as Ruka, isn’t it? I know there is a half French boy in Gakuen Alice that is named Luca. But some of the fanbase calls him ruka because that’s how they said his name in the anime. Lol
I'm so happy for older looking marriage candidates!! I agree with you, I wish SO BADLY that you could marry Illuminata (and even Bado) in RF4
AHHH, im so excited. So many cool characters.. Im in love!!
