After Marvelous released new footage for its upcoming Story of Seasons title and Rune Factory 6, 5ch lit up with debate over whether a PS5 port even makes sense. Sales figures for the previous entry, Story of Seasons: Let’s! Wind’s Grand Bazaar, were cited — the Switch version sold 95,817 units, while the PS5 version didn’t even chart (under 1,310 units) — and the thread split hard over what upside a PS5 release actually offers.
Ah, this one looks PS5-bound.

What?? lol
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma
Switch: 86,223 units

PS5: 1,384 units

It's not even the kind of game that sells overseas, and with domestic numbers like these, what's the point of putting it on PlayStation 😭

And people still have the nerve to demand a PS release with numbers like that.

It's obvious that if even 5's cheap-looking 3D chugged on that hardware, putting out 6 with more than that would be a disaster.
It'll probably be built PS5-first and downgraded just enough to barely squeeze onto Switch 2 as a multiplatform release.

You can't even run 5 on PlayStation, so it never had the chance to chug in the first place lol

The noisy minority who nitpick performance are just loud — the rest of them never actually spend any money.

There's no way a farming game sells on PlayStation. Wrong audience entirely.
PlayStation's safest bet is just sticking to games about killing people.

Actually, did they finally drop Switch 1 support for this one?

Story of Seasons is probably still on it.

I feel like they said, back around Wind Bazaar and Guardians of Azuma, that after learning their lesson from Olive Town and Rune Factory 5 they'd stop outsourcing development going forward.
Quality actually improved because of it and both got reevaluated positively, so I've got high hopes for the next ones too.

The teaser has so little info there's nothing much to say.
"We've been making this for 3 years" just makes me more anxious than excited.
I didn't even think platform was worth discussing since Switch 2 seemed like the obvious answer, but I guess they never actually confirmed it.

No, Guardians of Azuma was developed by Hyde, and Wind Bazaar was Three Rings.

Who knows when it'll actually release.
Even if it ends up multiplatform with PS5, I wonder if they can even manage simultaneous physical releases.

Marvelous revealed in their earnings report that this fiscal year's console lineup is the Muramasa: The Demon Blade remaster plus one more unannounced title.
So either the new Story of Seasons or Rune Factory 6 should be out by next March.

Whoa… that actually sounds credible.
The farming game still felt like it had a ways to go, so Rune Factory will probably come out first.
Good to hear PS5 might actually get a disc release too.

Probably around next summer, I'd guess. Though I think the farming game might come sooner, maybe spring.

Really, that soon? Feels like it'll take 2-3 years.

This looks good. Honestly, just drop PS5 already.

Switch is the one that should get dropped. I was already fed up with the insanely long load times on the Switch-first release of 5, and then the later Steam version ran buttery smooth — made me furious realizing I'd been sold the low-spec-adjusted version.

Yeah, sorry, my bad.
So maybe it's that they stopped outsourcing starting after Wind Bazaar and Guardians of Azuma? Honestly I'm fuzzy on where I even heard that.

I feel like I heard something similar back then too, but Hyde and Three Rings both stayed on as usual,
so I figure it just meant they'd stop handing everything off wholesale to outside studios.
Now that I think about it, they did cut Hakama though.

This fiscal year's core lineup only has two console titles, so it'd be Muramasa plus either the new farming game or Rune Factory 6, right?

Bad graphics not selling was already proven by the Steam version of Guardians of Azuma.

I mean, Rune Factory was never going to sell on Steam of all places anyway.

Wonder if they're dropping Switch 1. Doesn't look completely impossible for it to run, barely.

Releasing on Switch too would sell the most, no contest.

If it just means sacrificing resolution and frame rate, I'd still want a Switch version.
Showing off how downgraded it looks might even help sell people on Switch 2.

By the way, the Story of Seasons 30th anniversary and Rune Factory 20th anniversary sales are only running on Nintendo platforms, so that tells you everything.
Also, which farming game would you all recommend?

The most popular one is Three Villages.
If you're starting now though, I'd go with Wind Bazaar — it's got the free trial running right now, and it's the best-made one of what's available on Switch.

Checking out the sale on the older titles — why is 4 cheaper than 3?
Is 4 priced like a budget 'best' edition just because it's the bad one?

The problem with Marvelous's Story of Seasons line is that it's way too Nintendo-focused, with everything else left way behind.
Steam got left completely untouched and lost to the competition outright.

They ported 4 first and 3 later, so the one that came out first (4) is priced lower.

3 came out later and apparently had the budget to redo the graphics.
4 is just a straight port from the 3DS with obviously no budget put into it — I wish they'd done it the other way around.
