I've been playing rune factory frontier ever since i got it a few weeks ago and it's a great game... the newer harvest moon games have kind of sucked.. well kind of really sucked so it's nice to get something good from the same people... rune factory isn't made by Natsume but it seems like it's in the same series as harvest moon and i love it(the company it's made by helped make harvest moon games)... harvest moon games have lost their touch but as long as they keep these rune factory games coming over the years i think i'll be just fine ;)
