    Rune Factory 4: Special (PC/XSX/PS4/XB1/NSW)


    The main addition in Rune Factory 4 Special is the inclusion of new stories focusing on the married life with all of the characters in the game you can tie the knot with. Rune Factory 4 lets players choose between a male and a female character, and is basically about being a town’s mayor, strengthening your relations with people while battling monsters and farming.

    OP


    New Details
    More information was also revealed by Producer Maekawa. As we’ve seen on stream, the Newlywed Stories aren’t fully voiced, but nearly all lines have voiceovers. Each one of these stories has a proper beginning and ending. They each unlock as you manage to marry the respective bachelors/bachelorettes in your saves. Each one of the stories takes place right after you got married, and before children are born. It also has new short anime cutscenes, and the characters’ portraits are animated.

    Producer Maekawa also announced that Ventuswill can’t be married in Rune Factory 4 Special. I personally knew It’d turn out this way, as while they quickly talked about it on the previous stream, it was definitely a joke rather than actual teasing. My bet is, as multiple Japanese outlets didn’t actually watch the previous stream, and ended up reporting that Ventuswill being a bachelorette was teased, Producer Maekawa decided to formally make it clear that no, we won’t be able to marry her.

    However, Producer Maekawa also announced that the other new mode they haven’t revealed yet, “Another Story” mode, will have something to do with Ventuswill and will show us ” a new side of her”, hinting we’ll get to see her human form. The “Another Story” mode will be detailed on the next stream in June.

    Another new addition in Rune Factory 4 Special that was revealed today is voice comments from all of the main cast, accessible in-game. Seeing they all recorded new lines for the game, Marvelous also asked them to give their impressions. It seems the messages are quite long, which each seiyuu talking about their experience voicing the game.

    Don't suppose they'll be adding same sex marriage? Japan still not societally there yet? Sigh.

    At least you can do the order to change appearance to the opposite gender, but it still sucks having the improper pronoun, and iirc, that order wasn't available until postgame.

    Hopefully someone doesn't a file edit hack to fix this, though that won't help people without a hacked switch.
