You can fast travel to set points in town, certain points on the world map, dragons you’ve unlocked, and to floors you’ve reached in dungeons. Which is weird, given the amount of control it does offer a player. One such flaw is how imprecise Rune Factory 5 can feel. If other elements were executed better, this might have been forgivable. I’m not going to get into any spoilers here! However, there are a number of story beats and elements that are very similar to Rune Factory 4. The fourth involved being “royalty” while accomplishing your goals. Tides of Destiny had two characters sharing a single body. The third involved transforming into a monster. The second entry focused on the generational aspect. In the past, every mainline Rune Factory game had its own gimmick. Right off the bat, Rune Factory 5 is going to give people a sense of deja vu. This means when you don’t have a case that will send you to a dungeon, you’ll be talking to people in town, running errands, and growing crops. However, because you’re special, you also can manage this division’s farm and issue Directives that result in festivals being held, storage increases, and getting licenses to craft. They’re essentially an organization that helps people around by dealing with dangerous situations and monsters. In this case, players end up being a member of Rigbarth’s SEED force. They’re taken in by an authority figure of the town where they wind up and placed in a position of power in the community. However, circumstances result in them losing their memory almost immediately.
Like Rune Factory 4, the fifth entry begins with a person who seems to be someone notable and influential.

It’s like the developers at Hakama were told what the game needed to be and shown videos of Rune Factory 4, but didn’t really grasp what makes the series special. However, it’s also unfortunately a bit hollow and marred by technical issues. People from different fantasy races appear, some of whom you can even smooch and seduce. There’s an amnesiac hero with a connection to nature. Rune Factory 5 is a perfect example of a game that, at a glance, has everything you’d expect from an installment in the series.
