![]() ![]() You do this in the usual, realistic way of talking to them once every day, and giving them trinkets that they kinda like (also every day, if you can hack it), as well as doing the occasional chore for them. And it should be, because becoming friendlier to these folks gets you material benefits, like shop discounts or increased stamina. (Indeed, in later games in the Rune Factory and Harvest Moon series, you spend a lot of time getting crafting materials to do a lot more than farm.) In MTAP, you can still farm a bit: “building” includes “building food” apparently, and it’s a lot cheaper to grow your own and have it on-hand.Īlong the way you can talk to the various NPC townfolk, building up relationships with them from stranger on through soulmate, if that’s your thing. Essentially, those are basically the same thing, just with a different flavor. In this game, you start as a Builder: you build things that the townsfolk need in other words, a crafter. In the Harvest Moon games, you start with a farm, and thus are a farmer (in the Rune Factory games, add in “badass monster slayer”). ![]() You get started at your basic house with a basic plot of land, and over time work to improve it. Which kinda killed my motivation for driving as hard forward as I was going (I’ve got 70-ish hours in the game, which I started on 20 Dec) – and why I’m writing this review now instead of the nebulous “later” (see: my not-extant-but-still-planned AssCreed: Odyssey review).Īnyhow, I keep comparing this to Harvest Moon and Rune Factory, but what exactly does that mean? And what makes this game different?īasically, the PC is a new kid in town, coming for some reason (often because a family member used to live there, and you’re taking their mantle: generally, their farm). Here, I was able to marry one of the hardest candidates (Ginger) well before the story finished. In the Rune Factory games, you would finish the main quest long before you’d finish a romance, at least if you weren’t laser-focused on getting your beau. But it’s there, in the background, driving everything. Sure, there is nothing pushing you to get a romance. My Time At Portia (MTAP) is no different, that I’ve found.
