I've pre-ordered it at my local indy store, but I really don't know if that release date is real. I don't expect it to stick.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

Game Informer gave RFF a 6.5...they said the game's pace was painfully slow, slower than a normal Harvest Moon. Also the reviewer complained that there were so few scenarios which moved the story along. Also that the characters were devoid of any personality.

The opening FMV is great.  The J-pop vocal are intact.  Full of blushing girls.

Graphic style and music are very pleasant.

I bought this for my girlfriend today as kind of a "surprise present".  She loves it.  The game has very nice visuals and an f'n great visual style (the monsters are KEWL).  Everything seemed somewhat overwhelming at first because HM:TOT menus just looked so much more simple.  The dungeon element, for what I saw, was simple in terms of combat but it's a nice change of pace and in no way hinders the experience.

I've been debating whether to get this game of the Rune Factory 2 on DS. The graphics look really nice. I'm leaning more towards the Wii version.

I ordered this game and got free 2-day shipping so I should get it Wednesday. I'm a huge Harvest Moon fan but I've never played a Rune Factory game before.

Aargh!  My copy was supposed to come last Friday, but UPS screwed up.  Hope to have it tomorrow though, so I'll post impressions some time on Wednesday.

I put a few hours into it today.  There's so much crap to be done (or that I'd like to do) that I try to think about all the things I can accomplish in each game day sorta like the first time I played Pikmin.

At the base, at the most routine levels, you farm.  Farming leads to cash, cash leads to upgrading gear and inventory, new stuff allows for more effective adventuring, adventuring leads FARMING IN ADVENTURE AREAS.

HOLY ****, THIS GAME IS INSANE.

Then there's the cooking, smithing, monster befriending, and girl-stalking, which all supplement and enhance the "base" experience.  OMG why is this game going unnoticed?

I'd love love love to pick up this game and get into the RF series BUT!

after the way you described it i'm afraid to buy the damn thing cuz i'll never be able to put the kinda time into it that this sorta game deserved. Thats right, i have game commitment issues.

I see what you mean.  You could complete a couple game days at a time (~20min each) but trying to remember what you did after avoiding the game for several days could make you feel lost, moreso than any recent Nintendo adventure.  As far as I know, the game doesn't have a hint system or progress log to help remind you, unlike MP3 or Tales of Symphonia.

Thats exactly it. I was playing Harvest Moon (SNES) over the weekend after being away (from it) for.. i dunno maybe 2 weeks tops, and I didn't even remember being in the first winter yet, or which girl i was wooing and had to spend the first day back getting back into the swing of things. And thats one of the easiest HM games out there! I can't imagine adding dungeon crawling and animal taming to the mix of those other daily routines.

I might just end up getting RF2 for my DS since taking it with me on the go (bathroom breaks) would make it easier to play often.

About 13 hours in, Spring season is over, haven't gotten ANYWHERE.

Too much fun stalking Townsgirls, giving them fish and turnips.

I just reached the Pumpkin Festival at the end of Summer.  I've probably put about thirty hours in by now.  Definitely NOT a game for a quick playthrough.  I'm dreadfully afraid that I've missed something that won't come back around next year.  I love the game but it just takes so gosh-darned much TIME!  I doubt with my busy gaming schedule I will be able to fit in a second full game to learn from my mistakes.

I guess it's kind of like real life then.  You only get the one try.

impressions like this keep me from getting this damn game even though i want to soooo bad.

Games like these make me wish i temporarily disabled and could take time off work (or at least work from home) so i can enjoy them dammit.
