Calendar | Rune Factory 4 Special Guide
This page contains information about everything related to the calendar in Rune Factory 4 Special (RF4S), which has been released on Nintendo Switch.
As someone who used to play Harvest Moon games, you might be wondering: “Is there a calendar in Rune Factory 4 Special? If so, how can I access it?”
The answer is yes—you can access it. The calendar is placed on top of a chest, but you’ll need to pick it up and move it somewhere else first.
The calendar can be used as a reminder tool and to check all upcoming festivals, contests, or events. However, it does not display the villagers’ birthdays.

Note: The determination of the birthday of the protagonists (Lest/Frey), marriage, and your child (Noel (boy) / Luna (girl)) depends on all your actions in the game.
Choosing your birthday at the start of the game will affect other people's birthdays. So it would be better if you select a date that is not already used by other villagers.
I deliberately did not make this guide more detailed because I plan to make other articles about festivals and villagers' favorite gifts separately.
That's the explanation about the Calendar in Rune Factory 4 Special for Switch. Hopefully, this short article is useful. Please comment below if you have any suggestions to make this guide better. Thanks.
