I love this series. And Number 5 gets respect for doing as every iteration has done by adding a bit to the formula and not changing too much.
The mechanics are almost identical to Rune Factory 5 with a couple quality of life changes. The world is as charming as any JRPG. But they made a grave mistake with the graphics.
The graphics don't look amazing. I would go so far as to say they look nominally better then a GameCube game. Which makes it all the more unsettling HOW MUCH LAG and framerate dropping is in this game. The game just doesn't feel smooth which is a massive bummer.
