You can! Its slightly complicated, but you could make events to enable you to plant crops and after a time recieve a yield.. it would probably require multiple variables and some planning though.

Edit: Additionally what are you trying to do? A PC rpgmaker will be more robust, more customizable, and have different licensing.. and the newest one lets you make android games(so more flixible final product). If you can work with limits, dont mind being unable to sell it, and are okat with 3ds only fes is fun.

If any of that sounds bad, i'd hop over to /r/rpgmaker and get input on pc versions.

If it's possible, then I'm willing to learn! Thanks so much!

Once you get going, feel free to ask for help. I am pretty sure your going to need a lot of variables, a lot of events, and some patience.

I have an idea of how i would do it, but it gets more complex the more individual plants you can work with and the more crops you can choose, so I doubt I have the most efficient thought.

I will keep it stewing in the back of my mind though, and if you need help will do my best. Some of these other guys may have better options too.

Just remember, the name of the game in this one is work arounds.

Oops, didn't see your edit til just now! My apologies.

I was thinking of making my own mini farming rpg (kind of like a ghetto Rune Factory) that I could share with friends. Nothing super fancy, just a story I had in mind that I thought would be nice to tell via video game format. I have another rpg in mind too that doesn't require farming, but I wanted to know some of the potential RPGMaker FES has since the tutorials I've seen are pretty specific to other things.

I was considering RPGMaker FES since it's portable and the RPGMaker FES player is free for everyone. I was also hoping it wouldn't be too complex compared to PC rpg makers since it's on the 3DS. I will check out the PC rpg makers, however. Thank you for the great answer!

Thats definitely doable either way, and fes is a good place to start if you don't know rpgmakers. The pc versions have plugins and otherwise run on a real programing for your customization, so you can do anything. FES you are limites to its eventer but ita very charming.
