Rune Factory 4 - Nintendo 3DS

I’ve been a longtime Rune Factory fan, ever since I played the first game years ago. Out of the four in the series, RF4 is my favorite. I’ve owned it for several years and played it for hundreds of hours, and yet there are still things to do if I pick it up today, and I could play another hundred hours without getting bored. I’m very excited about the upcoming RF5 and the RF4 special for the Switch, both of which I plan on buying. So what’s so great about a game that came out 7 years ago? The idea of harvest moon is nothing novel, though the RF series is what introduced me to the concept. I’ve since played other harvest moon games, like Stardew Valley, and Story of Seasons; but none are equal to this game. That’s because RF4 isn’t just a farming sim, or a slice of life game, or a fantasy game - it’s all of those things, and that’s why it’s so great. If you’re new to the RF series, I recommend starting with this game instead of from the first two, since all the annoying kinks from the first games have been sorted out. The basic premise of RF is the same as the other games - your character is an Earthmate, a person who can communicate with nature, crops and monsters. Oh, and you’ve lost your memory, you’re new in a town that is watched over by a wind dragon, and they think you’re a prince/princess. Your job is to cultivate a rundown farm, get to know the inhabitants of the town of Selphia, and make the village a better place in general. There is actually a story and a three-part plot, which I won’t go into so as not to take away from the experience. There are several aspects to the game. These include: - Farming: this is the harvest moon aspect of the game. You grow crops, which include fruits and vegetables, as well as flowers, on your own farm. There are crops for each season. You also venture outside of the town to other seasonal fields to grow crops outside of whatever season you’re in. Crops come in different levels, and you unlock different ones by advancing your farming skills or through quests given to you by the villagers. - Dungeon crawling: as soon as you go out of the village, you’ll start meeting monsters ranging from adorable (giant lambs) to gross (goblins). As the plot advances, you unlock different dungeons, encountering different monsters and culminating in a plot-relevant boss fight. You fight these monsters with weapons which you find, buy or craft. They drop loot and goods etc. Alternatively, you can go into- - Raising monsters: monsters can be tamed and kept in barns on your farm, where you feed, groom and give them love in general. They will in return help you with your farm if you want, or be taken along as companions to dungeons. - Crafting: you can craft anything in the game. This includes your farming tools (the highest tier hoe, for instance is called the blessed hoe) which will allow more efficient farming; weapons, shields, armor, accessories, medicines, and potions. Each of these are skills that must be leveled through practice or by finding recipes or eating recipe breads. - Cooking: one of the most fun parts of the game, this skill allows you to cook different dishes, ranging from simple smoothies to insane cakes and curries. A lot of the villagers have favorite dishes which improve your relationship with them. - Fishing: you can fish in the town, the lake by the town, outside the town, in dungeons. Depending on location, time, season and the weather, you catch different fish, which can be sold or made into dishes. - Social: like all harvest moon games, the town you live in conveniently comes with a string of eligible bachelors or bachelorettes, who can be romanced, dated, married. You can raise a family, and your child can even join you for dungeon crawling when they grow up. You also develop friendships with other villagers, and they all have unique dialogues and quests, usually triggered through a random number generator. The characters are cute and quirky. The village also holds several festivals you can participate in. A word of advice though, the relationships are interesting and fun to engage in, but this is a JRPG. Don’t expect something super dark, or tons of cutscenes, or really lengthy dialogue like you would in a western RPG. It’s more anime style, which is endearing in its own way. - Plot advancement: the game has a three-part story that advances over a few in game years and random events, involving the guardian dragon of the town. The plot is essential for unlocking dungeons and certain items, but you can take it at your own pace and the game certainly doesn’t end after the plot is over. There’s so much to do (listed above), that you can play for many in-game years (and real-life years) after finishing the plot. What makes RF4 an amazing game is how multifaceted it is. Dungeon crawling? Check. Dating sim? Check. Farming sim? Check check. Fantasy plot? Check. You don’t have to do all of these things, or any of them really, it’s up to you what to do. Nothing is really game-breaking. You can’t lose this game, or miss any chances at anything for good if all you want to do is hang out on your farm, or go fishing. You play the game at the speed you want, doing the things you enjoy, and that’s all there is to it. If you’re a completionist and want to do every possible thing, you can do that too. That’s what makes this game so great.

This is my new favorite game of all time. It even surpasses Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and the Pokemon games for me. This game is just... wow. I was hesitant for the longest time to try this. I added this my wishlist years ago because it looked interesting and seemed to incorporate elements I liked (farming, dating, befriending monsters, battling, helping a town, etc.), but my unfamiliarity of the series coupled with the price made me hesitate. A few days ago I was looking at me 3DS, which I hadn't touched in maybe eight or nine months, and my pitiful collection of five 3DS games and five DS games and realized I was really wasting the investment I'd placed in the console by never buying any games to play; as much as I love my small collection of games, I'd played them all so much that I'd frankly lost interest in replaying them yet again, at least not for a long while. I was browsing around on Amazon once more and somehow found my way to this page again. I saw a used copy for $34 and I snatched it up on a whim, thinking that the worst case scenario would be that I'd ship it back to the Amazon warehouse and lose out on six dollars. But oh my god, I should have bought this games years ago (kind of glad I didn't because then I wouldn't be enjoying it now, but you know what I mean) I love absolutely everything. The graphics, the game play, the story... and you know what? This game is even better than the harvest moon games I've played. For one thing, doesn't make it impossible to get your hands on cooking ingredients (like flour; oh my f****** god, in Tale of Two Cities there were like seven ingredients I could never ever get and it frustrated me to death) and there's not a much of a feeling that time is of the essence; while a clock counts down daily, the game is so open and allows you to do so much that you don't feel pressed to get home from wandering around battling monsters and picking up stuff to water your crops (crops only need to be watered once a day). I really appreciate a game that has a lot to do, but doesn't make a player get wound up with time crunches and requirements. There are so many wonderful things about this game that I'd make this review super long if I listed and spoke about each one. I'm not even through the game entirely and already I'm in love. This feels like the kind of game I could play on the same file for a very long time or have no issue with restarting from the beginning. There's also different difficulty levels, which I appreciate a lot. I usually stick to easy mode because I don't usually care for challenges; I like being able to freely and easily play and enjoy games, not stress myself trying to defeat them. All in all, there's a reason over 80% of the reviewers for this game gave it 5 stars and it's still so expensive despite it being out for three years now. It's amazing. I wish the company that made this series hadn't gone bankrupt; I imagine Rune Factory 5 would have been mind blowing. Should the creators ever resurface with another Rune Factory, I'll absolutely try it out, and for now I'm going to look into the previous games. If you're considering this game and love games like Harvest Moon and Pokemon, this is a game for you.

Fans, this is a sad day. Neverland, the company responsible for these games has closed their doors. We can hope and wish for another company to purchase development rights... but that is a prayer likely to go unanswered. Even if another developer picks up the franchise, they might ruin the series - as so many other developers have done to other series. Well, Neverland gave us the best swan song they could. Rune Factory 4 takes the recipe from previous installments, shakes it up, and then gives us a fresh, less tedious game to enjoy. At the heart the game is still Rune Factory. Cue cheesy 3rd party character animation introductions! (Seriously though, the animation is great - but the music and the creepy noises they make when being introduced really are odd). My biggest gripe with the game is somewhat minor: the main story quest is short. Granted, if you spend a lot of time farming and maxing out your skills the game takes over 40 hours. But if you focus on fighting to the finish, you get about 10 to 15 hours of actual story game play. It works out okay though. You spend a bit of time getting the story, then you have long stretches where you can farm or do other tasks and come back to the main story line later. But don't expect the typical, story heavy game play. So positives? Well I know that the big game websites and magazines moan about the story - but then they all to often complain about innovative stories that try to be different and fail (FF13?). Rather, this is an entertaining story with some humor sprinkled throughout. Compare the traditional RPG themed story to another recent 3DS title, Bravely Default. I adore Bravely Default - but it has one of the blandest stories in a GOOD RPG I've played in awhile. At least in Rune Factory we have the multitude of fun characters to add to the story. Without the characters adding their own little humor and separate stories, one would have the traditional 'kid with amnesia' story so common to the genre. Other nice things? Being able to pick male or female. And - bless you Japan and XSEED: they left in the Yaoi element. Meaning you can have a non - ahem - traditional relationship. So if you want to, you can have your male character fall in love with another male character. One of the biggest improvements is in the quest features. They have really toned down the boring fetch quests. There are still a number of quick 'delivery' quests - but typically these involve farming for or collecting an item (or having already acquired it) and placing it in your deliver box. The nice thing is that if you have already fulfilled this earlier, it counts it as having been completed. So if it asks you to deliver a potato, and you already did, then you can immediately 'complete' the quest. But far less quests involve 'go to character A and pick up item, deliver to character B, then return to speak to character A'. Those easy, nonsense, boring quests are gladly absent. Some of the quests are more interesting and involved ('raise all character and monster friend levels to X' for example). The variety is nice, and one can fulfill quests in a variety of orders and fashions. Completed quests yield 'Prince Points' used to upgrade your room, the village, gain licenses, or expand your storage. The airship is also nice. You can now freely fast travel to and from discovered save points. This eases the travel time and makes it possible to skip over a lot of trekking. Sometimes the trekking is fun, but often completing a more challenging part of the story quest requires several attempts at completing a dungeon or beating a boss, so it's nice to have instant access to those points near the action. Lastly I would point out that the music score is very impressive. The town and surrounds have nice tunes, but the dungeons and distant areas have remarkable scores. Graphics are also impressive for the format, though the 3D is pretty lackluster. Granted, I rarely play in 3D, but this game is not tweaked for the style like some of the other 3DS titles (such as Mario Kart 7 and Bravely Default). Bottom line? I would say 4.5 / 5 Pros: + Engaging NPCs + Adjustable difficulty setting + Great musical score + Immense fun and variety: crafting, battling, fishing, farming, etc... + Vastly improved quests over previous installments Cons: - Traditional, 'safe' RPG story (not a big negative point) - Short main story quest - Sub par 3D effects

INITIAL THOUGHTS: I've been with the Rune Factory series since the beginning and have always loved them. I could never tolerate the Harvest Moon series but the combat/crafting aspect along with the story line of the Rune Factory series made me fall in love with it. To all fans and players of the series previously, you probably know what to expect already. The gameplay itself is still the same with improvements such as sorting, stacking, etc (which Rune Factory 3 also ha to a point) The plot line itself is...simple I suppose; nothing really out of the ordinary; a story about friendship with all the necessary components that can be kind of cheesy depending on your age. Of course, you start off amnesiac, a trademark of the franchise. To first-time players of the Rune Factory series I don't know if this game will win you over or not. It depends on what you look for in a game and such. I think it's a shame it doesn't have a free trial given it's hefty price. Then again, given what I got from it, an still continue to get, it was well worth it. If you don't have a 3ds, but have a ds, I'd suggest trying out the earlier Rune Factories for the half the price and see how you like it. GAMEPLAY: The controls are not that hard to figure out and the tutorial along with the already lengthy beginning, in my opinion, makes the start of this game a bit long to sit through, but oh wells, just enjoy the music! You can farm, craft weapons/armors/accessories, make medicine, cook, date, flirt, etc etc...You can't really progress through the game without doing all of these things though, except maybe the dating and flirting parts, IF you want to unlock new seeds and get recipes for way higher recipes that are unattainable through any other means. It's a lot to do, but the game will let you do them at your own pace. It'll remind you what you should be doing, but again, it's just a reminder. The introduction of PP (Prince/Princess Points) in this installment was interesting. You use these points to expand your farm or expand your storage and other such stuff. In the beginning, garnering these points can be hassle and how you use them will vary depending on what you prioritize. Combat has variety in it depending on what weapons, or magic, are more to your liking. My first playthrough I stuck with mainly Spears, but my second playthrough has me falling back in love with the basic short sword (you can enhance it with a certain item to increase it's range though if you want a broader range). Thankfully, suing weapons doesn't use up any of your RP in this game, which, is a godsend as you will be using your RP for many other things. I actually loved farming in this game. Once I could make greenifier+ I spent a good amount of time leveling up ALL my crop seeds to the max! Crop level really makes a big difference in your cooking products and the effect they give you. Cooking itself is also fun. Depending on which utensil (knife, pot, oven, etc) you use to cook your food, the added bonuses will differ. Crafting/Forging you can probably do without in the beginning parts of the game but you will need it later on. Your level in this game really is just a number that helps to increase your HP/RP but it's your armor and weapon that can make a dungeon either super easier or super hard, especially towards the latter half of the game. MARRIAGE/CHARACTERS: The world of Rune Factory 4 is BIG compare to it's predecessor, however, the town you are in is relatively decent sized. The townsfolk have individual...quirks that you may or may not adore. This hold true for the Bachelor/ette(s). OVERALL: I loved it. It's replay value for me is wonderful and I have yet to get tired of re-leveling myself up with each new start. There is the option for you to 'inherit' a data (after you've beaten the game in it's entirety) if you don't want to start from level 0 with a new file, but eh, I found that to just strip away all the fun of the game. For already lovers of the the series, I'd suggest to go ahead and buy a 3ds if you haven't got one yet. For first time players of Rune Factory, I'd say either play an earlier series, or try it out if a friend has the series to see if it'll fit your taste. All in all, <3

This game is, undoubtedly, the most fun I have ever had on a handheld device. Touching storylines that will definitely stir up "the feels" and super fun gameplay combine for 200+ hours of a masterful game creation. For the first time, the Rune Factory series caters to the choice of a female protagonist at the beginning of the game...YES! That being said, there's way more "YES!" to the game than that. The game's main storyline paces at the player's discretion where you can choose to do a variety of things. Some people claim that the Rune Factory series is almost stressful with how much there is to do but this is what makes the game great. There's always something to do: farming, interacting with towns people, crafting, fighting monsters, taming monsters, fishing, cooking, exploring dungeons, etc. And this game in the series serves new treats to the table, as well. The farming aspect of the game is similar to past games. You have an expandable field with expandable barns that you can fill with monsters who will tend to your field. But wait! There's more! This game introduces new seeds. That's right. Seeds that can create weapons. And seeds that can create an entirely new dungeon to explore! The towns people are as cute and entertaining as ever. Events in the game work a little differently, however. Events are random. So, one day, you may be walking through town or into a shop when an event will begin. Which, though it definitely makes the game more realistic, can be a little irritating when you are attempting to trigger certain character events. Nonetheless, many events are fun and are worth any inconvenience. The games dating sim aspect introduces a new part to romance: you and your loved one(s) will be straight up boyfriend and girlfriend until one of you proposes to the other. Romance events are also very cute. Super cute. Crafting in this game made a lot more sense to me in this game than in the past games of the series. There's a lot of new weapons to make and upgrade as well as farming tools, armor, and accessories. Battling is similar to how it has been in past games and magic definitely becomes a lot more important to your character's survival. In this game, bosses are hundreds of levels strong. Not kidding. And there are tons of bosses. Super fun. Monster taming is one of Rune Factory's qualities that make it so wonderful. Monsters can end up being super useful to you in dungeons as some can be very strong. And, being able to have a party of up to two, you can bring even more with you! Fishing and cooking are the same as they have been in other games but still enjoyable and preparing fish before shipping them rakes in some easy cash. Exploring dungeons. There is literally so much to explore. The game offers tons of dungeons that the storyline will take you through but there are also secret dungeons hidden in between trees that are only available at certain times of the year and you can literally grow a dungeon in your field. Dungeon exploring in this game is a massive improvement from its predecessors. And you are a prince/princess in the game. YOU RUN THE TOWN. The game has "Prince/Princess Points" which are points that you can acrue through running your town to either build new shops that sell new items, expand your backpack and other storage places, expand your farm and barns, PUSH AWAY TYPHOONS, and more! You even get to open your OWN shop where you can sell goods you find in dungeons, farm, or craft to the towns people for gold. I seriously had/have so much fun with this game. There is so much going on and so many new challenges that this game just will not let you put it down. I HIGHLY recommend.

I've never played any of the Rune Factory series before, but after reading all the glowing reviews, I was incredibly excited to buy this game at full price so I could see what all the fuss was about. I honestly regret buying this right away. I like cute games, really I do, and Rune Factory 4 is cute, but there is a line. My biggest complaint has to do with the characters--for example, there is a character, Clorica, who falls asleep all the time, and while I guess it's supposed to be a cute habit, it gets ridiculous after day two. Just like Clorica, there are a number of characters--male and female-- whose "quirks" are just plain annoying rather than endearing. In fact, I only chose my bachelorette based on the fact that she was the least irritating out of my options. I try to avoid interacting with most of the villagers, but I sort of HAVE to deal with them in order to advance the story. The graphics and music are lovely, and I enjoy the farming and fishing aspects very much, though the inventory seems disorganized. Combat is one of my favorite parts of the game, as I can go through and master each weapon if I want to, as well as the magic. The story is interesting, too, and there have been a few times where I've played this a lot longer than I should've, just so I could find out what happens next. But is the story good enough for me to put up with a soldier who constantly admits she likes sweets, then gets embarrassed when she realizes what she's said? What about the blacksmith whose dialogue, literally, consists of "I want to make money."? The creepy chef? The wannabe detective? Maybe I'm looking too far into this, but I want to know how these people kept the town running before my character arrived. So, herein lies my conflict: I like most of the game, but dislike one BIG part of the game enough that it's almost no fun to play.

I love the rune factory series. I love the harvest moon/ rune factory series. My first entry into the RF series was 3 and I fell in love with the harmony of game mechanics immediately. This game is definitely worth the price point in terms of game time. It doesn't give you a tracker for your playtime that I can see but I easily have poured over a hundred hours into this game. I'm not even done with the full story it seems, either. That can be a pro or a con depending on whether or not you like to grind and collect recipes and interact with NPCs. There's a lot of friendship potential in this game, and I love that I have a choice of most of the townsfolk to bring with me into fights. If you're a fan of the handheld rune factory games, definitely look into the marriage candidates first. On the whole, they did eventually grow on me! However, there are a few that I don't think should have been candidates. Im talking specifically about Amber. There are two girls eventually working in the town's flower shop. A quirky, cute elf detective who is always looking for mysteries to solve owns the shop. She at a later point in the game takes in a little girl who has butterfly wings. She's definitely a cheerful little girl that the detective takes care of with the help many people in the town who act as her guardians or older siblings and direct her out of trouble. Guess which one is the marriage candidate? It's not the detective. Xiao Pai is another issue that I don't feel qualified to touch on. If the characters are supposed to be considered adults of marrying age, its ridiculous that 80% of them don't look old enough to drink. This isn't a beef with the cute anime art style necessarily. There have been many occasions where I found myself wishing you could marry the 'actual adults' in the game, which shouldn't be happening if the characters are designed properly. The bachelors aren't without some awkward qualities, too. Kiel doesn't look as old as the other bachelors. Frankly he looks like a young teenager at best. That he's a bachelorette's little brother doesn't help his case. Doug and Dylas are two bachelors. Googling Doug and or Dylas will probably give you a lot of content with them being romantically involved with each other. I had assumed that was the internet being the internet, but they are very much ensconced in the well being of each other. This is not just guys being dudes. Two emotionally constipated men expressing that they care about each other at the very least. However, while I don't have screenshots, there are MANY interactions between the MC and both Dylas and Doug that there are no heterosexual explanations for. I would be perfectly fine with this usually if it was played straight with the two people actually openly loving each other at some point. Obviously that doesnt happen bc that's par for the course for more widely published games unfortunately. But what makes this a weird and kind of sad choice in character development is that they're both marriage candidates for the MC. I looked at this beforehand and assumed people were blowing their interactions out of proportion. Now I literally can't marry either of them bc they very obviously care about each other. I have both of them at like 8 hearts and they still have like a 50:50 dialogue ratio of loving dialogue for the MC and talk of each other. Worrying about each other's wellbeing and wanting to see and visit each other daily. They're constantly referred to as a quarreling married couple and at one point Doug is referred to as Dylas' 'rider'. It's not the healthiest relationship and, once again, is never actually acknowledged bc gays don't exist I guess, but it is something to consider if you're buying the game wanting to marry one of the two. Anyways, there are definitely good points and bad points on the character design, but the base rune factory mechanics are still there. There also felt like a lot more story this time around compared to rune factory 3. Once again, this can be a pro or a con. If you want a pretty quick little game to play or a marriage simulator, this IS NOT the game for you. You can blow through most of the fighting pretty quickly, and you can skip a lot of the crafting if that's really not your bag but that will eventually catch up with you. There are also difficulty settings. The easiest mode making grinding to level up in order to progress virtually unecessary for 90% of the game. I may come back and update my review to be more coherent. Despite my hangups with the game its definitely in my top 3 fave rune factory game and in my top 10 Story of Seasons/ Rune Factory game type games.

I've been a fan of the Rune Factory games for some time now and I have been waiting for RF4 for about a year. I preordered it MONTHS ago and was so happy when I got it. Pros: Music is great. Going through the town or a dungeon is great with the background music. Mechanics were so improved upon!!! It took me a very short time to get used to the new mechanics but they work so much better now. Characters are lively! They make the town! Some of them ended up being quite different from what I had expected, and thats a good thing! I didn't expect Vishnal to be so clumsy and I didn't expect Illuminata to be so excitable, for example. There are so many little things that make the game. Up in the windmill when looking out in the binoculars, for example, they input allusions to other games. You really have to explore your way around this game to get it all but trust me, it's a lot of fun! The story really draws you in from the beginning. From the time you fall off the airship onto Ventuswill to the many discoveries you make early on in game. The more you hear and see and learn, the more interested you'll be to whats going to happen next. You need Prince/Princess Points to develop the town. Now, I thought getting these points would be really difficult and take a long time before I could do anything but that is not the case at all. Getting the points is very easy and allows for easy development of the town and your farm. Jealousy dialogue. One of my favorite parts in the game is the jealousy dialogue the townspeople get when you decide to date two people at once. Now, I don't suggest to do that but it's still rather amusing. Cons: Can be a little glitchy. When running through the Dragon Room sometimes you can run right through Ventuswill, likewise as your running through town you may run straight through townspeople. Not much new dialogue from the characters from each time you talk to them. They usually only speak one line a day so talking to them repeatedly has no purpose. Overall replay value is great! Considering you can play as a boy or girl you can change it up and see the differences in townspeople and dialogue, and you can marry someone else! The fact that there are 3 save files helps a lot in this aspect! It's been a lot of fun going back to play it again and seeing even more little things that I didn't notice before. I highly recommend this game! Even if you're new to Rune Factory you don't need to play the others in order to understand this one. Just enjoy!

It's a great rpg game! It's perfect for gamers who wants a long gameplay and want to complete the full game. It has funny and interesting dialogue, many festivals, weapons, forging etc. I truly recommend this game to those who haven't heard of this yet, please! Give it a try!

This game is impossible to put down! I bought it a couple years ago and played it non stop! I started to play it again this year after already beating it, and I'm obsessed all over again. This game is like a vamped up harvest moon. You get your own farm, you get to accept quests, tame monsters to help you fight or keep as farm animals (Some produce eggs milk, etcc..) There is a great story line with arcs that require you to beat dungeons that get increasingly harder. Monsters drop materials and items that you can use to upgrade and craft armor and weapons. There is so much of the world to explore! The first time I played I missed so many hidden things because there is just so much to do in this game! Each new dungeon has new ores, and metals to mine, materials to make things with. You can collect grasses or grow flowers to use to make medicines and fertilizers. Oh, and duh. One of the bigger things you can do in all harvest moon games. Get married! You can choose to be either male or female. The bachelors and bachelorettes in this game are all very unique and likable. I can't remember how many there are to choose from, but definitely more that 5 bachelors and bachelorettes. You can date in this game, which is pretty neat (Can also date multiple people at once if you choose to do that) You start out with the usual giving gifts and talking to them to get their friendship points up, then profess your love. This doesn't initiate marriage, but instead makes them your boyfriend/girlfriend, which will make them available to invite for dates, and occasionally say romantic or sweet things. Marriage come after that if you so choose. Another aspect to this game that is very cool! You can invite the villagers out to fight with you. You simply ask them if they would like to come along with you, and they will follow you to the field, or dungeons etc, and help you fight enemies! They will level up just like your own character, and any armor/weapons you make, you can give to said villager and they will equip it! Which of coarse adds to their attack/defense. It's a very cool feature! (When I said villagers, that includes anyone you can marry in the game) Just like previous harvest moon or rune factory games, there are festivals, and cut scenes. The cut scenes/events can be somewhat random, I'm not totally sure what triggers some of them, but it's cool to see how all the villagers get involved and react. When something happens in the story, everyone will be talking about it. People aren't just stuck saying the same 1 or 2 things they're programmed to say. Example: You asked someone on a date and your walking around with your characters lover. People you walk by will coo and poke fun "Ohh, what are you to up to?" or if your dating multiple people, "It can't be!" It's a much more intelligent program than the older harvest moon/rune factory games. Anyways, hope I didn't give to much away. This is a very addictive game, with so much to offer! If you haven't already, I recommend picking this game up. If you already like runefactory, you'll love this! If you haven't played before, this is a great game to start with! You don't need to have played any of the previous games to understand it.

es wäre denke ich besser wenn der Verküfer direkt im Titel sagt das es aus den U.S.A kommt und nicht weiter unten erst bei den Fragen.

Estoy enamorada de este juego, puedo hacer lo que quiera, usar el arma que quiera e ir avanzando en la historia a mi propio ritmo aumentando el nivel de un montón de cosas. Cuando lo ví pensé que las gráficas me iban a quitar las ganas de jugar pero en realidad me he acostumbrado y los personajes me gustan mucho. Aunque me gustaría que hubiera más personalización en el personaje además de la ropa o armadura. Sí tiene algunos detalles que podrían mejorarse tanto en lo de cosechar como en crear nuevos objetos, pero de momento nada que me moleste a mí. Muy feliz con este juego.

Je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce jeu est disponible sur le site d'Amazon France alors qu'il est incompatible avec les DS achetées en France. C'est la version US. Très décevant. Ce jeu est par conséquent inutilisable.
