Rating Rune Factory Wedding Dresses (Because I have some opinions)

Rune Factory (1)

10/10

I honestly think this dress is top tier in terms of design. The snowy white with pops of color, the scalloped flowy sleeves, the barely exposed shoulders, that lovely subtle headdress and veil, it's all so pretty and elegant to me. I believe it suits all the girls in RF1 beautifully, though I do feel like Tabatha (center) and Rosetta (right) are standouts~

Rune Factory 2

6/10

It's a very lovely design overall though I do think it creates a bit of an odd silhouette. There are still many elements to appreciate, like the lacey detailed edges and the bold but uncommon use of green. I also give them bonus points for containing a dress sprite of he/him character Ray (right) in the game's data (Trans RF character confirmed?) I think the dress best suits curvier girls like Yue (left) but it's also a real treat to finally see Dorothy's (center) lovely eyes~

Rune Factory Frontier

2/10

This dress really doesn't do it for me. I can tell they were going for more of a ceremonial robes vibe rather than a traditional wedding dress and from a distance it almost works but the outfit up close is just bulky and unflattering. Maybe if they fixed the headdress or gave the robe some really pretty accents or beading it could work, but as it is, it's probably the last thing I'd wanna be virtually married in. The one thing I do like is that it gives most of the girls a unique updo for their wedding day.

Rune Factory 3/RF3 Special

3/10

This used to be my least favorite RF wedding dress before that honor went to Frontier. The more I look at it, the more I realize that most of my disdain lies with the headdress and not the dress itself. The actual dress is fine, in fact there are some parts I really like, the sheer material on the upper arms for one, or the shawl, I just don't think it particularly looks like a wedding dress. That headdress though...oh boy, it looks like someone just glued a bunch of random sh*t they found to a headband and called it a day. It's just very cluttered and doesn't scream 'wedding' at all. If I have to pick a stand out it would probably be Raven (center) since her pose and hair color hide many of the design fails. Also Daria (right) because it seems like the sort of chaotic outfit she, herself would design.

Rune Factory Tides of Destiny/Oceans

5/10

This game didn't get the usual character portraits so the images aren't great, but my opinion on these dresses was very so-so, I definitely wouldn't call them ugly, and I do love the colors and rare use of a real bouquet, they just didn't seem to stand out all that much. Especially in terms of RF costumes. They seem a little bulky on the models but I honestly think they could have fixed that by just having character portraits. Not bad. Not great. Just middle of the road dresses. As standouts I'd pick Sonja and Electra (left and center). Their hair colors complement the dress and Electra is already suited to the poofy ballgown look anyway.

Rune Factory 4/RF4 Special

8/10

RF4's dress has a very ethereal, almost fairy-like look to it, which I personally find very gorgeous. It's pretty busy like many of the previous dresses, but unlike those, I feel like the elements here actually work together. The long flowy veil and blue rose accents are just beautiful, as is the detailed corset and neckpiece making up the torso. I'm not personally a huge fan of the flower petal looking design on the hips, but it does fit well with the whole aesthetic. As for standouts, It looks tailor made for Frey (left), but I definitely think taller, long haired girls like Dolce and Margaret (center and right) look amazing in it as well.

Rune Factory 5

9/10

I think this dress is beautiful as a whole, a bit more traditional and subdued than previous wedding outfits but personally I love it. The silhouette is flattering on everyone and the color scheme is unique among the other dresses by sticking with only warmer colors as opposed to the cool blues and greens of past games. I also love how the tint of the roses changes slightly depending on who's wearing the dress. All in all it reminds me a lot of the subtle elegance of RF1's dress and that makes it a win for me. For standouts I think Fukka's (center) complexion and hair go beautifully with the dresses colors. Ludmilla (right) also looks divine with the rosy aesthetic~

What's your favorite wedding look from the RF series? Who wore it best? Comment or tag if you feel like dishing some opinions of your own (Or just answer my poll ;)

Saw this and it reminded me of the fuckin rf4 sleep mechanics

i wanna talk about amber and illuminata's event, yk the one... just wanna complain about it bc i was thinking about it and it hurt 13 y/o me so much so i gotta yell it into the void for lil me

so at the start of the event illuminata comments how she think the lake is missing something and lets it go. later, flowers are missing from her shop and goes on to look for the culprit in one of her detectively-rampages. fast foward and she meets amber, her roommate? person she looks after? still a bit unsure how you could label them but they are friends

(im omiting screenshots for the sake of getting it down to 10...)

illuminata, who is always outspoken and loud just pauses here dry... and that just added to the horror of it all to me...

horrible

and slaps her???????????

she asks amber where she got the flowers and yeah, she had taken them from the store

GREAT! hit someone before you explain anything? normal behavior, she clearly didnt do it with malice, maybe you can fucking talk about this

she tells her to shut up before her command and authority then xiao pai comes along and asks illuminata to let amber explain herself

yeah and what about the moment you just told her to shut up just now two seconds ago maybe. i think you got your order of events wrong. so you slap her, then scold her, then ask her why she did it? fantastic. all for the loss of some fucking flowers.

amber explains she wanted to make her happy because she had said the lake was missing something and apologizes!!! amber!! i think her hitting you is worse than some flowers getting planted!!! illuminata says Apology Accepted AND DOESNT APOLOGIZE FOR HITTING HER. OK.

the event ends with them hugging. amber stops crying when illuminata asks xiao pai and frey/lest to get seeds to plant bc if amber does it she gets hit, but if its her then its okay!

so thats why i hate this fucking event and illuminata. even if the flowers are important this is no way to treat anyone. what fucks me up the most is that you just know that if it had been someone else that did this she wouldnt have hit them, she is imposing authority over her and that makes me sick. why do you need authority over her when she does not disrespect you, when the crime could have beem spoken through. LIKE IT WAS AFTER YOU SLAPPED HER, slapping her didnt add anything to this aside from makimg her cry and if thats what she wanted thats just cruel. She never apologizes for this either

Honestly the worst thing ever is putting down a farming game and coming back to it after months and just trying to figure out what in the world you were doing. Like why do I have a field FULL of crops I don’t need for a gift 🤔

So i was almost killed when someone pushed me off the flying boat and now i gotta run a farm because i landed on a dragon’s back?

[businesscasualart]

Reopening all of my farming simulator games, trying to remember what I was doing in each one bc I started all of them at once and took a break. I don’t think I’m gonna make it.

[pansy-picnics]

“amber is childish” “amber acts like shes 10” yall have clearly never watched her proposal event bc that 10 year old has clinical depression and suicidal tendencies and might unironically be one of the most emotionally mature out of all the marriage candidates in the entire game

I’m restarting a project I began back in 2018: redesigning the children Frey & Lest have with the love interests!

I never liked how none of the children matched the love interests, and the canon children don’t look like Lest at all (unless you marry Amber, or if you headcanon Frey and Lest as siblings, I suppose). So, I went about redesigning them, and then life got in the way and I forgot about this project.

I assigned everyone 1-3 children, gave them names and vague personalities based on how their parents would potentially raise and influence them. Not every family has one boy and one girl, since these are based off what families I envision characters would have (so feel free to disagree lmao).

I’m starting with the bachelors and going from my favorite to least favorite, and then moving onto the bachelorettes in the same fashion. Since RF4 doesn’t have same sex marriage, all bachelors will only be paired with Frey and all bachelorettes will only be paired with Lest. I also had an idea for potential extras (like Bado, Venti, etc).

Their clothes will mostly match the canon clothes of Noel and Luna, but I redesigned them to have different colors, and sometimes a slightly different look. But I did try to keep common motifs (diamond shapes, little flower shapes, etc), and some colors. Also they’re simplified because holy shit I am not drawing all those goddamn details 12+ times. I’m not even sure how some of those clothes function!

But anyways!

For Leon we have Noel and Estella!

Noel is the name of the canon male child in the game, and coincidentally Noel is Leon spelled backwards, so it was perfect!

Estella means “star”. Maria would’ve been a reasonable choice, but I wanted a name that still meant something and connected to her while not being her literal name. A star is the symbol that Maria draws on her letters to Leon, so I thought that was a cute choice!

Estella and Noel are twins, and I like to think that after being cute, innocent toddlers they would take on their father’s more mischievous nature. While Leon tends to only tease, I think the twins would be full on pranksters. In particular, I think Estella is the mastermind. 

I’m aware that Leon’s fox ears and tail are more than likely magical and not genetic, but I still wanted to add them. These children look a lot like Leon in particular because I love his palette.

Next one will be Arthur!

Feel free to tell me your thoughts, I’d love to hear them!
