History VideoGame / RuneFactory4

The game begins with the protagonist riding an airship, carrying valuable cargo on their person. Before they reach their destination they are attacked, and after losing their memory and their cargo from a blow to the head they are tossed overboard. Luckily, their fall is broken by the dragon Ventuswill, who guards the town of Selphia. She has been expecting a member of nobility to come and manage the town, and assumes that this must be you. From then on it becomes job of the player character to attract tourists to your town, to have new festivals implemented or shops built, and to investigate into the strange occurrence of boss monsters taking on human forms after being defeated.

* HappilyMarried: Nancy and Jones. Lin Fa also has a husband who stops in on occasion, making that a record breaking two already married couples in a Rune Factory game.

* InterspeciesRomance: While you play as a human you can court the elf Margarette, the dwarf Doug, or the former boss monsters Amber, Dylas, Dolce, and Leon.

* LethalChef: Vishnal. If Frey marries him he may give her a Fail or a Super Fail each day.

* MistakenIdentity: [[spoiler:Lest/Frey is not the nobleman they were waiting for. Arthur was.]]

* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Bade has no real passion for his work as the town blacksmith.

* TalkToEveryone: This gives you the prince points you need to order better equipment, shops, and festivals, so you'll be doing this a lot.

* HeyItsThatVoice
** [[VicMignogna Vishnal]] is [[OuranHighSchoolHostClub Tamaki]]

* ActionGirl: You can take just about anyone you've befriended into dungeons with you, but as the town knight who will accompany you regardless of affection, Forte best fits the trope.

* AnInteriorDesignerIsYou: You get to move around your storage bins, forge, kitchen, and other essentials as you please.

* BagOfHolding: There's a limit to how much it can hold, but considering what can fit in a bag that they don't even bother to show you carrying...

* DatingSim: Like the other ''RuneFactory'' and ''HarvestMoon'' games. This one also has you officially become girlfriend and boyfriend before you get married.

* EasyAmnesia: You don't get amnesia when you're knocked out of your airship. You get it when you're hit on the back of the head a few minutes earlier.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Some of the lines are really suggestive. If you marry Dylas, he'll be happy to hear he's moving in with you because "the restaurant walls are really thin."

* KillItWithWater: Your watering can is still usable as a weapon.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Though as a first for the series the character actually gets amnesia after the game starts. You still don't learn much anything about them beforehand, however.
* LethalChef: Vishnal. If you marry him he may give you a Fail or a Super Fail each day.

* LuckBasedMission: The final plot event after you finish the main storyline is triggered at random.
* MistakenIdentity: [[spoiler:You were not the nobleman they were waiting for. Arthur was.]]

* PlayingPossum: Dylas in monster form will fall over and fake defeat once in your match with him.

* RunningGag: The option to sleep in another person's bed is in this game as well. If you marry someone, their particular dialogue if you go back to their old bed will change.

* TagAlongKid: You can take your child into dungeons with you.

** For no good reason you can also knock people out by repeatedly throwing birds at them.
** Your love interest will also notice if you've been flirting with others after marriage. Some of them [[http://www.fogu.com/hmforum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=150198&start=795#p4729960 don't take it so well.]]

* HappilyMarried: Nancy and Jones. Ling Hua also has a husband who stops in on occasion, making that a record breaking two already married couples in a Rune Factory game.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Ling Hua/Rin Fa, Vishnal/Bishnal, Volkanon/Volcanon. It'll be even more fun when Natsume runs through with their {{Dub Name Change}}s.

* [[spoiler:MistakenIdentity]]: [[spoiler:You were not the nobleman they were waiting for. Arthur was.]]

* SleepyHead: Chlorica

* AerithAndBob: Doug, Leon, and Margaret stand beside Vishnal, Volkanon and Illuminator.
