Helped me to understand how to play the game and liked illustrations. Received the Rune guide in good condition.
nice time comsumer for anyone with time on there hands. Loved this game, very easy to follow story line. Hard to put down for long.
has everything you'll need and its very detailed.cons: could have been better if more illustrations were present to better explain
On a light note, my husband asked me if I was studying for exams so intent was I on reading it. Without this guide my son and I would have had a hard time playing this game. The farming part is always easy but the guide helped me get through the dungeons.
That said, there is a lot of useful information in the walk-through, and it tries and avoids giving too many spoilers (although, like any guide, there are a few).it's guide to the various potential brides is also fairly nice, but it seems to be lacking what they completely dislike, not just what they like. First of all, I must say, the recipe list, and item info guide in the back of this manual are probably the most valuable part, I'd probably get it just for that (in fact that was mostly why I got it).The walk-through, however makes several bad presumptions, all based around one: You want to get through the game as fast as possible. I've seen better guides, for some games, but then again, it's pretty hard to cover a non-linear game like Rune Factory with a guide, and this guide does have a wealth of information that would take you months of play to jot down on your own. It also is missing the well known "harvest festival favorite" an item which only is of benefit on the harvest festival.They also didn't list what all the various other characters like, just the ones that befriending will grant you after-hours access to certain areas.Still it is what you would expect from a guide. I don't know how many gamers use this method to play RPGs, but I don't. I prefer to get everything the first time around, and then go for speed the second or third time, if I feel up to it.When a game is written so that you can play it any way you want, I don't see why the guide has to be so linear.
