Yes it is a buggy mess, yes it is graphically challenged. But if you disregard these things, this game has some of the most charming characters, fun combat, and an endless plethora of things to do which will keep you busy for hundreds of hours. But that’s like any Rune Factory game, and that’s what I love about not only this game but this series in general, for the most part.

In other words, if “Switch graphics” and some bugs every now and then don’t bother you too much, and you enjoy games of this genre or something similar, than this is a must-have.

If this is a rating for the Eartmate Edition itself, well, it’s great. I love the artbook and the DVD had some amazing remastered tracks (Divine Wind/Wind Spirit Shrine is the best). The artbook is really nice, and I don’t need to search up what gifts everyone likes because the gifts are in the book...except for a certain RAD individual unfortunately. Only fault I suppose is having only the steelbook case, and no original case, but that’s just me being picky. Good premium edition of a good game, and was fairly priced. That is, if you bought it from the original sellers. Good luck on the second hand market with this.

Would unironically buy this on a mainstream console. It's has great potential and I look forward to the day it finishes.

A hidden gem, criminally underrated. Fortunately RF4 got more people talking about the RF series in general, but I still don't hear much talking about this one which is sad to me. Deserves a port for modern consoles; I'd love to see this in HD with crisp models especially since I didn't play the PS3 version and there were some frame drops in combat, which the combat is really good, so it would be a blessing to see this ported to Switch or PS4 or whatever.
