Saturnine Tenshi Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Or Oceans, for those like me who haven't been keeping up with localization. I was surprised to see this one coming out so soon. Well, not really soon, as a hastened look at the Japanese release date has revealed. Nevertheless, I wasn't expecting it. February feels as if it just passed. I can still remember scrawling news posts with... actually, let's find that video for this thread. It's also release the same day as Atelier Totori. D:< RUNE FACTORY: TIDES OF DESTINY Platform: Playstation 3 Genre: Simulation RPG Release Date: September 27th, 2011 Official Website(JPN): http://www.mmv.co.jp...ame/runeoceans/ Aden and Sonja, two lifelong friends, live a tranquil life on Fenith Island until they're struck by a mysterious curse: they awaken to find both of their souls are now trapped in the same body! On top of this unusual calamity, the Fenith Island they knew is gone, replaced by a strange island populated with unfamiliar faces. Only by exploring this new world will they be able to solve the mystery of this curse and save their beloved island. During the course of their journey, Aden and Sonja will be aided by a colorful cast of characters, as well as take command of a towering golem, Ymir. Using their newfound giant friend, they'll cross vast seas, discover hidden islands and dungeons packed with riches, and battle fearsome monsters of the deep! Imagine Harvest Moon with typical role-playing elements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRZGdbHMIzo& http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Aml9w23aHY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FMW Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 Also available for Wii. I'm considering buying this, but think that Rune factory on the DS might be a better entry point to the series than one of the console versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturnine Tenshi Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Are you looking for the simulation elements endemic to the Harvest Moon series, or do you need the role-playing added with the Rune Factory spin-off? This release looks great, but if you're just starting with the series and want to play progressively, I would begin with Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon. There is no narrative chain, but as with other series, it could be difficult to start with an improved version of a video game and go backward.
