Agreed. Of course, if someone likes Special's opening more, that's great! This just hits my nostalgia a lot more and triggers my memories of playing the game when laying in bed.
I just picked up Special, and I think the new opening is very good, but I have nostalgic emotional ties to this theme that I still automatically hear in my mind when booting up the game, so I do miss it.
I love this game. They took all the good points from each of the earlier ones and made them all better in one new game. (Rune Factory 3 was too easy, but I like how they brought back the old Rune Factory 1 relatiobship progression rate, and let you pick between Baby, Normal, and Dark Souls difficulty)

For anyone who finds this later but still struggles: your stats are mostly influenced by your skill levels and not overall level. So farming a bunch of crops will help you survive as it increases your stats. Also equipment is king.

I remember playing this game and RF3 and RF2 in 2020-2021. Man, time flies and I miss those days. So happy to have Rune Factory be apart of my childhood though

Love this game. Ever since I beat it, anytime I start a new game I choose to be a girl but then immediately change my character's sprite to Lest because he is one of the cutest male protagonists in video games... EVER. This game is fantastic on so many levels, it really is. The farming is okay, it's hard to make money until you unlock pineapple seeds but after that it's fine. Love the dungeon crawling, and fists are currently my favorite weapon type. I hate that if you leave town through the main gates after you save Venti the first time it triggers the second arc which immediately takes her out of commission again (thank god for the airship). AND THE ROMANCE. HOLY CRAP. Dated Vishnal first because who wouldn't want to date Vic Mignogna, then moved onto Dylas (shy bby he is) and then Arthur. And now i'm currently dating Leon who I feel is really the bachelor that they wanted Frey to be with. He has so much character depth and sorrow behind that cocky grin. Definitely love this game even more than I loved Story of Seasons, and I'd rank that in my top 10 games.
I just wish you could change your skin to Lest more quickly in the early game but oh well. Lest looks so much better than Frey though so I'm glad you could do that
i really love the rune factory series.. its my favorite game! like i was a fan of this when i was small and i still am and im almost a young adult now haha xD i am so gratefull that they decided to make a game like this. i hope the series still continue... i dont know why but i have a feeling that rune factory 4 isn't the end... lets stay positive! :D
Xseed mentioned they were looking for a way to keep the series ongoing so i'm just crossing my fingers wishing RF5 (which was cancelled after being greenlight because of Neverland bankrupcy) comes out for the Switch. Yes, the lead producer wasn't picked up by Xseed but the rest of the dev team does and they own the copyright to create a new RF or start building RF5 again.
I love how this opening and the one for Special feel like Season 1 and 2 openings for an anime Especially when they recycle the scenes. Not a nitpick, just lots of animes do that so it feels better :)
I played Rf2 (Not full finished) and Rf3 i n my opinion (outside Rf4) is the story line of 2 better than 3, but the crafting, forging, cooking in 3 is a lot easier
Hey, don't forget who the cutest protagonist is! Both forms are adorable! I'm just sad that Micah didn't get much of a story. By a landslide, craziest townsfolk, coolest house, and coolest powers. Who knew that Woolies could be so awesome?
Opening that looks kinda misleading : Ventuswill look likes a Dragon Bossfight, Lin Fa as one Marriageable Candidate, Dolce embraces Pico with pure hug
Forte is my favorite bachelorette, the strong and shy type who turns out is trying to become more feminime as you get closer with her. Reminds me so much of Tomoyo from Clannad and Clannad After Story which is also my Fave anime girl! Am I the only one here who thinks so?

When your main avatar is female and you cant date Margaret but you're super bi and dont mind playing as a dude that you start another game just to date Margaret *my goals are beyond your understanding*
I remember when I first started rf4 special I was put off about the new opening song, but having gone back and listened to the original I think that was just nostalgia talking. Both are great, and I think I may like the special OP a little better. Didn't want to dig up my 3ds for this.
Red Zero Rune factory 3 is great, the problem is that it is way too easy so you should play it in hard mode. Normal mode literally took me like 2 weeks to pass, and the 1 bachelor took me one month in the game to get it up to 10 hearts...
rejoice for this series is alive again

I like this one more, as a whole. But there is something about the Switch's version that I really like when it picks up the pace.

I've seen Special's opening, and I like it as much as this one. I tend to not let myself be blinded by nostalgia.
I was so sad when I watched the trailer for RF4 Special and they used a different theme. This is sooooo much better 💕
I mean it is still nice but it is more like an anime closing theme compared to an Op.
They probably also did not have the rights any more.
I actually like the new one more. That said I wish we can swap themes so everyone is satisfied.

Best part about this: no "main" heroine anymore :D
love it :D
Not to mention the ability to play AS the heroine and date the guy of your choice instead!
Damn right. In RF 1, I really wanted Rossetta but the game seems wanted you to be with Mist (I like her too) so I went with Mist instead.
Venti is the main heroine :(
No guilt about "not following the Canon" anymore

This opening theme is magical when you watch it in 3D, especially the first time.
at least rune factory 5 is coming, been waiting for years!😌
These were the good old days... I used to play this when I was a little boy
This game came out like 4/3 years ago ... well some people grow faster than other :/
the game is 3 years old...now i'm would like to know how old you are XD
Lunachan i played it when i was 10 :") i'm 13 now
ah ok XD
I still play it , Im 23
Came back after hearing the new opening Q-Q really hope they add this song in the game too.

Red Zero Rune factory 3 is great, the problem is that it is way too easy so you should play it in hard mode.
