Hey! A pre-Christmas promotional video for Rune Factory Frontier just came out. See it here. It's the first video on the page; when/if it comes out on Gametrailers or something I'll let you all know.

You should watch it. :) You can see Raguna doing everything: farming, fishing, making tools, and fighting monsters. They even have a section on romance and some sort of summer event that involves splitting watermelons with a hammer!

Hi guys. Just a few things for today. :]

WB Planting. They put up new Wind Bazaar videos. :D The first one is about planting. You can see the player watering 25 squares in a row in this one.

Yurisu Heart Event. This is one of Yurisu's heart events. It might be the second one; I'm not sure. Most of us won't be able to understand what they're saying, but supposedly you can see the strong bond between him and his younger brother Derek in this one. For some reason, Gametrailers doesn't upload the heart events, so if you just click the link it'll be the first one there until they upload more.

Gamespot Review. Yep. Another Rune Factory 2 review. Gamespot gave it a 6.5; interestingly, they liked the farming a lot---and they ...

Hi guys! First, really quick, Zentendo did a review on Rune Factory 2. They gave it a 9/10. :] If you've been keeping up with updates, I'm sure you've seen that RF2 has gotten pretty good reviews consistently already, but if you want to read this one too, go ahead.

Yasuhiro Wada appears in IoH? Isn't that funny? Apparently, according to Rising Star (the publisher for HM games in Europe), this character,



named Wada from the game is actually based on Yasuhiro Wada, the "Father of Harvest Moon" himself! Look:



Oh, also, Rising Star posted some character designs for us in the same article. You can download them here.

Anyway, do you see the resemblance? I bet he doesn't actually wear a caveman tunic in real life, though---or does he?

The Nintendo Magazine for the UK did a review on Island of Happiness. Read it here. :D Overall they said it was good, but still basically the same as all the past HM games.

Also, the release date for Europe's Rune Factory (yes, Europe hasn't even received Rune Factory yet D:) is now February 13, 2009. Hopefully there won't be any more delays. :]

Hey. I know I just updated a bit ago, but I just found the article that Famitsu posted on Sugar Village. :]

Like in the rest of HM, you farm and can ride a horse, fish, chop down trees, etc. In addition,

• you can apparently get married!! This is great for those who were afraid it'd follow too closely to STH---where you had to restart all your relationships from the beginning each time you played a new path.
• your television has channels which give you updates on in-game events
• there are also mini-games! One of the screenshots I'm about to post features them, although I can't tell exactly what kind of game it is.

Here are screenshots courtesy of Famitsu. :]

Hey guys! Lots of new stuff now. :D

SV Official Site. First off, the new HM---Sugar Village & Everyone's Wish---just put up a preliminary page to their new official site. It's just a "Coming Soon!" cover, but the artwork is pretty so I thought I'd show you: Click!

Billboard Painting. Apparently there's a billboard set up on your farm. You draw on it using the stylus. I think it might be for Wifi and stuff. :] That's in the screenshot to the right. See the chick/flower/writing?

WB Horse Races! New Wind Bazaar videos are out. :D This one features the horse races in the game! Take a look. You even jump over hurdles and stuff!

Love Event. They also posted a video of what seems to be your first heart event with Derek/Diruka (although I'm not ENTIRELY sure). Look at it ...
