This version is pretty much the same as the original, so you can check my review for it here.

Having the game on a bigger screen feels really nice and the game has been adapted well to work without the 3ds touch screen. There are some improvements like a few RNG events not being random any more.

On another hand, the upscaling is pretty disappointing and they did a much better job with RF3S. It's a shame that the best game in the series will not get such a treatment because this remaster came first.

We can also finally use Japanese dubs without hacking a ROM and using a custom 3ds firmware so that was nice.

Insane amount of grinding that kept my attention constantly. Pretty boring story with some subpar combat.

this is nice you can also have a sheep as a pet and lots of animals and walk around with them and your friends

Really fun game with a LOT of content in it. The only farming game to really keep my attention. However its story is kind of boring and the combat gets repetitive after a while

It’s good

It's not my first time playing rune factory 4, nor is it my first try playing the game on switch. I've decided to give it another shot this time, as last time I didn't even come close to finishing it on here (not that I finished the original game, but I got much farther in that game than this one.)
I love farm sims, and I love rune factory, so I really hope I like it this time.
I'm not super sure how the "logs" work, so if this ends up on the review page, sorry~ 🙇
