Shortly into the game you are introduced to the farm here you can plant crops, tending to them to eventually sell for profit, or to use the ingredients during cooking. The main core of the game revolves around a blend of farming, dating and maze-like dungeon crawling. If you stick with the game for a few hours though you'll have a handle on what the town requires and what you can get up to during the day. As it turns out there's a lot of jobs for a Prince(ss) to do and Rune Factory 4 takes its time allowing you to have free rein of your princely duties. Typical JRPG tropes are delivered in quick succession and shortly after the fall you are left with amnesia, soon after this you have become the stand-in Prince(ss) of the town. The game starts you off with an unfortunate question which decides your gender, after this you find yourself aboard an airship and after a scuffle with some thugs, falling towards the town of Selphia. I was expecting a similar experience to that of Animal Crossing or Harvest Moon but what I found instead, was a game richer, and more diverse in content, allowing numerous hours to slip by unnoticed.
