Rune Factory 5 details Seed Point system, reveals more romance candidates

Marvelous published even more new information for Rune Factory 5 in Japan. In addition to more characters including romance candidates, Marvelous also started giving details about the gameplay system.

When your protagonist character awakens with amnesia in the Rigbars town, you will join the peace-keeping security organization called Seed. You can take daily requests from townsfolk, which vary from finding lost items to beating or even capturing specific monsters.

Successfully completing these requests will reward you with Seed Points, which can be used in the Making menu. In the latter menu, you can do various things such as developing useful items, taking licenses to cook food or smith weapons, and holding festivals in the town.
