I have been a huge fan of the harvest moon series since the beginning, and while I love the series I have to admit it had gotten a bit stale in recent years. I had heard about the Rune Factory games, but had not played one until this release for Wii. Needless to say, I was blown away!
Presentation: Top notch. This is the best translation and voice acting of any Harvest Moon/Rune Factory game and it shows. No more bugs or goofy translations here.
Graphics: Magnificent! It has a nice muted color palette, and has a consistent graphical style. The anime portraits do a lot to endear you to the characters and everything looks very polished.
Music: Very good. Different parts of town have different music and all of it fits great. Everything matches the low key style of the game.
Gameplay: Variety is the spice of life! Focus on farming, or dungeon crawling. Whatever is your favorite aspect of the game. Unlike normal harvest moon where the grind might get tedious RFF gives you plenty to do so no one thing gets very old.
Replayability: Finding everything in this game will take you a long long time so there's plenty of value here, especially for a rental.
If you like Harvest Moon but have been bored with the series in recent years definitely give this one a shot!
