Rune Factory -- A Fantasy Harvest Moon

[Kel]

I just got it today. It was the last copy Gamestop had that wasn't reserved!

It's such a cute game. Basics are the same but I can't wait to get to dungeon crawling. August's Nintendo Power has a special feature in it about this game. A mini strategy guide!

I just started it, but I absolutely love it. It's the Harvest Moon game I've always dreamed of. ♥

ITS AMAZING!!!!!!

Unfortunately, you can get rich really fast, and... ya.
Money hint: (Don't read it if you don't want it!)
once you get to the second cave, talk to leo to get a hammer. go through the second cave, avoiding all enimies, and get to the very end of the first level. mine until you run out of energy (that would be, for me, about 1/2 down the hp bar) then use the escape spell to get to the start of the dungeon and run to the nearest open store and sell everything. Ya you can make a ton of money (most I've made is 300000 in one day)

UNoT says something different about getting the hammer:

Once you've unlocked Carmite Cave from Godwin, you'll have to till at least 50 squares of ground with your Hoe. You don't have to grow anything if you don't want to. Once you've marked up the soil, visit Leo the blacksmith and talk to him to receive your basic hammer.

Either way I'm happy you can make money faster. I know it makes the game shorter, but I went insane in the past HM games because it got kind of repetitive after a while always farming.

So far, I'm enjoying it quite a bit; the fighting adds an interesting twist. It's not my new favorite HM game though

[Akane-la]

It's like HM meets ToS. It's amazing. I absolutely love it.

OMG! I want that game sooooo badly!! Ever since i read the summary of it on Natsume, I've wanted it ever since.

[Darth Sythe]

I don't have it, but i'd like to play it, maybe something to add to the Christmas list?

[Snake]

I'm really enjoying it now that I'm farther ahead. However, I don't know who to marry. I know that I'm definitely not marrying Rosetta because the relationship between her and Lukas is funny.

"Rosetta, wherefore art thou Rosetta?"
"I'm right here, moron!"

I'll probably marry Bianca, but I wish there was a best friends system. Russell is made of awesome.
