1* CreatorsFavorite: Yoshifumi Hashimoto, producer of the Rune Factory series, has stated that Amber is his favorite character in Rune Factory 4. On the English side, the translator Tom Lipschultz declared Xiao Pai his favorite and put a lot of work into her dialogue as a result.
2* DummiedOut: Bado's "[[WhatTheHellHero We're going on a date so why did you bring an extra person with you]]" dialogue and his swimsuit dialogue are only accessible via data-mining, as the developers never made him a dateable bachelor or made his swimsuit.
3-->'''Bado:''' Hey, Lest/Frey. Come to see how hot I look in a swimsuit?
4* NewbieBoom: The best-selling and best-reviewed game in the franchise, this game attracted many, many people to the ''Rune Factory'' franchise, especially when it was rereleased on the Nintendo Switch. It helps that it's the first game in the franchise where the female PC was given as much focus as the male PC, for the first time in the series' history.
5* NoExportForYou: Although initially planned for a European release, said release was ultimately cancelled. No immediate reason was given, though it may have had something to do with Neverland Co. closing down shortly before. It eventually got a digital release on the [=eShop=], but those hoping for a physical copy are out of luck. The Switch version [[LateExportForYou luckily did not suffer this fate.]]
6* TheOtherDarrin: For the release of the Switch version, Creator/VicMignogna did not reprise his role as Vishnal, likely due to the sexual harassment controversy surrounding him from the previous year. He's replaced by Creator/MichaelSinterniklaas.
7* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
8** Minerva, Tabatha's sister from ''VideoGame/RuneFactoryFrontier'', was considered as a returning character/bachelorette. However, since Raven and Barrett were both making appearances as well, she was left out to keep newcomers from feeling like they had to have played older games in the series.
9** Early game screenshots reveal that Lest had green hair early in development. He was later changed to blond in order to make him and Frey different characters, as opposed to mirrored counterparts.
