Rune Factory 5 (Old MacDonald Did Some Harm)

Quote :

Build a new life amidst a grand adventure in this heartwarming RPG. As a young man or woman with no memories, players will get a fresh start in the rural town of Rigbarth as a peacekeeping ranger. In addition to protecting the town, players’ day-to-day lives will include harvesting crops, fishing in the river and participating in local festivals. They may even find a special someone to start dating, fall in love with … and get married to! A new battle system allows players to perform combo attacks with allies to take down monsters. Begin life anew in a fantasy world when Rune Factory 5 launches on Nintendo Switch in 2021.

Features
・Tame monsters or team up with townsfolk to explore a massive world
・Defend the frontier and support your community as a member of a peacekeeping ranger
・Unleash uniquely powerful combo attacks with your teammates
・Cultivate crops in the fields
・Find friendship, love, and family with a colorful cast of characters

The release date's pretty ambiguous but this was my pick of the Showcase. Looks lovely, and although I've not got into farming sims before (a) I've never really tried and (b) bolting on an RPG could be the incentive I need. Anybody else?

(NB: 'Peacekeeping ranger'. Sorry Buska, you're basically a cop.)

My name is Andrew and I am a Rune Factory fan. I've been playing Rune Factory for 6 games (7 if you count 4 Special) now and I don't think I can stop.

Looked good and sort of thing I want on Switch

Yikes. Anything to look out for as a first-timer?

Find a fit bird, give her some gifts, get laid.

Sound advice for RF and for life.

Who will be best boy and girl?
