Rune Factory 3 Special Review (Strawblaze)
Visually speaking, Rune Factory 3 Special got a much better treatment than Rune Factory 4 Special did. This time around, the UI and 2D sprites also got major resolution improvements (instead of sloppy filters), making for a much, much better experience. It would've been amazing to see the backgrounds get redrawn, but they are not as bad as on RF4S. Overall, this is the best looking isometric Rune Factory game ever.
However, just as it goes with most re-releases, it's not perfect. The script and dub cast changes are considerable drawbacks to a lot of people who played the original game, and even for those who didn't, there will be an underlying feeling of not getting the same experience people did back in the day. I'll still give it a recommendation because I think they did a really good job enhancing the graphics. Still, there'd be much more value to it if they added new content/features and kept the original scripts/dub cast people love.
