This game is definitely nowhere as good as Rune Factory 4 but it is still a good game. I think if you love Rune Factory, then you would have a good time with this. Unfortunately though, I had to pick who to marry by process of elimination which shows the characters are not as nice as Rune Factory 4 in my opinion. Other people seem to not have this problem though. I've seen many reviews that say they love the characters. The story is very meh, not as good as RF4. The secret character was annoying. You can finish the story pretty quickly. I finished the main game story in end of summer of the first year in the game.



So my thoughts on the characters:

Martin too serious and might literally work himself to death if someone doesn't look after him. I don't want to blame myself for the rest of my life if he accidentally works himself to death. Working to death happens a lot in Japan, karoshi.



Ryker too lazy and a thief even though he means well. I'm not into Robin Hood type characters. I like mysterious and cool design characters but the bad traits aren't good. Also he is a chuunibyo. 



Cecil doesn’t feel like an adult, so many people look after him.



Reinhardt, a knight but broke my heart after choosing princess Beatrice to be number 1 priority instead of me in one of the events. Also he is too much of a cheapskate it seems and he cannot cook to save his life. I'm surprised how Beatrice never complains about his food. Just says "you never know what Reinhard might cook. Always exciting and interesting"



Lucas looks too old and a god


Fuuka, too much like a kid.



Ludmilla, too h0rny and too extra



Priscilla is meh. Bland and nothing interesting about her. Last place on popularity polls but the most canon girl to be the wife. 



Scarlett is normal but not my type, too uptight 



Lucy is okay but kind of tsundere which I'm not into. 



Beatrice straight up says this relationship might only be temporary but she's the most like Emilia from Re:Zero. Even literally all her plot and story in the game. The trial to be the next ruler. You shouldn't break promises. Literally Emilia from Re:Zero lol. I wouldn't date any celebrity if they say it's only temporary in real life, doesn't matter if it's Harry Styles or Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran. Still I married her in the game because personality wise, she is the best for me



Murakumo is close to my type but not into huge guys with the big hohoho laugh and fur on their whole body. I still married Beatrice and Murakumo because personality wise they were the best. Murakumo is kind and friendly. Martin is the type of husband to forget he has a wife because of his work. Margaret is my favourite, I would marry her but too bad you can't in 5. Murakumo's height difference is crazy thoughhh. I didn't need process of elimination for RF4 because all the characters were great and it was actually hard to decide who to marry in RF4 which is a good sign that the characters are great
