No. I don't recommend. Just switching between food or seed item, farming tools and weapon with a controller or keyboard with a lot of steps every time. Sure, there's from the inventory menu but that step as an alternative, yeah no.

Could've implemented a utility wheel or a hotbar that you can cycle around but nope.

I don't understand why they have to complicate that simple mechanic.

RF3 was a lot simpler.

Not as good as RF4, not as bad as RF3.

Seems like they focused more on the romance part since those are pretty good.

Bean contest is easy this time around.

Another game I want to like. Controls are a nightmare but that's a common complaint.

Who ever designed the events and how they pop up was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ moron to be frank. I am closer to 1 character above the rest yet everyone on the planet has their random romance events I don't want to be a part of, yet they overshadow the one single event I want. So I get them out of the way... and nothing. I wait from 7am to 7pm and 0 events pop up now for days at a time. I look up all romance events and side quests I have to try and trigger them, nothing works. I managed earlier to do 3 events with Murakumo yet he rejects the confession and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I see you have to level up his friendship again to confess again so I do, and time after time it's a rejection. No one elses events are popping up so I can't even tell if it's just not working for some reason, or if there's something I'm missing. I've checked online guides and I'm doing everything I'm supposed to. I waste points on festivals I can't even experience because I can't ask anyone! Quests pile up and there's just no rhyme or reason as to when they'll start appearing again or what might be blocking it after I got everything out of the way.

Visually it isn't amazing. Not sure why all the characters look like children, making all the female marriage candidates look 14 was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ weird move. Cecil looks no older than 12 and acts like it too. The running animations are very stuff and look very stupid lol. Farming is okay. The repetitive sounds/music/sheer amount of clicking around drives you nuts. Just can't recommend it really at all. The story itself is bland so far and not engaging. Combat is fun for the most part.

I hope the new dragon game coming out is an improvement... but we'll see. For a first RF experience I feel this tainted me on the series for a lot of reasons.
