Rune Factory 5 Outfits List and How to Change

Table of Contents

Rune Factory 5 on Nintendo Switch has several outfits your protagonist Ares or Alice can change into, we listed them below, alongside how to change costumes in-game.

Rune Factory 5 is finally getting released in English, nearly a year after the game was first released in Japan. Moreover, this is a huge comeback for fans as this entry resurrects the series after nearly ten years since the previous developing studio, Neverland, went bankrupt. Now the time has come to farm, craft, fish, forge, raise monsters, and date some anime characters.

How outfits work in Rune Factory 5 and how to change your protagonist’s clothes

Both the male protagonist Ares and the female protagonist Alice have three different outfits you can change into by default in Rune Factory 5. You first have the normal SEED ranger uniform you’re wearing by default, your casual clothes which are also worn by the protagonist during the intro sequence, and a single swimsuit outfit. These are the default outfits available in-game from the beginning.

Other outfits you can buy in-game

There are several more outfits you can buy in game with Gold at Yuki and Randolph’s bakery. These are the pajamas, casual clothes, aristocratic clothes, magician outfits, and armored knight outfits.

How to change outfits

You can change outfits after playing through the intro of the game and examining the wardrobe in the middle of your room:

  • Pick the first option to change outfits.
  • Then pick which character to change.
  • Pick the outfit you want to change into.

How to get a new wardrobe

If you accidentally broke your wardrobe, you can get a new one at the carpenter for 3000 Gold, 50 Wood and 20 Stone.

Moreover, there are several bonus costumes depending on which version of Rune Factory 5 you bought, and there are several paid DLC outfits as well.

Bonus costumes via limited editions

The Rune Factory 5 physical limited edition “Earthmate Edition” and digital deluxe edition include bonus costumes based on the outfits of the bachelors and bachelorettes of Rune Factory 4 as DLC:

  • Vishnal’s Outfit
  • Clorica’s Outfi

Buying these editions is the only way to get these costumes. They aren’t sold separately via DLC and cannot be bought in-game.

DLC costumes and swimsuits sold separately

Past protagonists

Several outfits are sold separately via DLC. First, you have the Past Protagonist DLC, with Raguna, Kyle, Micah costumes for RF5 male protagonist Ares, and Mist, Mana, Shara costumes for RF5 female protagonist Alice.

Swimsuits

Next, you have 6 different swimsuit DLCs for Ares and Alice. This is great for western fans because, in the Japanese version, these swimsuits were all spread around into various shop-specific preorder bonuses, as is often the case in Japan. This meant that if you wanted all these costumes, you had to preorder the game at different shops. Usually, hardcore fans do that, get the DLC product codes, then resell the extra copies.

Five of these DLCs are already available. The 6th DLC, the Holy Knight and the Bibliophile Swimsuits, will be released on April 26, 2022.

Rune Factory 4 Special save file unlocks bonus outfits in Rune Factory 5

Lastly, if you own Rune Factory 4 Special and have a save of the game on your Nintendo Switch, you’ll get the costumes of the RF4 protagonists. You’ll get Lest’s costume for Ares, and Frey’s costume for Alice.

Azel (Adel) and Sonia (Sonja) costumes from Rune Factory Oceans (Tides of Destiny)

The Azel and Sonia outfits are available in the Western version from the start alongside the other default costumes, just like in the Japanese version.
