Message: [QUOTE="Num, post: 60725, member: 102245"] games like rune factory are a good series in spite of the farming mechanics, not because of it. i think a real recommendation would be tensui no sakunahime. it also a mix of "intertwining combat and farming" except the farming mechanics are so good its practically the best part of the game. a lot of farming games rely on simply being a chore simulator for people who like watching numbers go up. but theres more complexity and enjoyment to actually farming and thats what sakunahimes in depth farming can really show you. in most farming games you just hit a button to pour water on crops and thats it, here you have to consider the water level it cant be too high or too low or youll mess it up. you have to think about what fertilizer you use what temperature, farming isnt something you use to turn off your brain like most other "farming sims." its more than just watching numbers go up and genuinely engaging. the story reminds me of the manga and anime silver spoon in a way. the protagonist is an arrogant city kid who looks down on farming as boring simple busywork that people without a good head on their shoulders end up doing (the very same mindset a lot of us have.) but then as the series progressed the protagonist is put down off their high horse and realizes just how its really its own skill, and starts respecting farmers and the whole farming process. with sakunahime its almost like youre learning and respecting farming together with her as you go through trial and error getting the hang of the mechanics. and then after youve learned to appreciate farming a bit more in games maybe then you can give other more basic farming sims another chance again.
