Fantastic continuation to its Dual Screen Predecessor
Frontier is a great addition to the Rune Factory series. It is presented on the Wii and takes advantage of the capabilities of the Wii. the Graphics are greatly impoved to that of the dual screen, and provides for larger maps and more realistic gameplay.
Frontier gives birth to a new concept to the Rune Factory harvesting system. Introducing the Runey System... You may seem intrigued but this is one of the greatest flaws in Frontier. Runeys are spirits that roam around the many districts of Trampoli. Runeys provide little to the game but can help lesson the amount of days certain crops grow. The problem is that Runeys can die... and if you dont look after the Runeys and all Runeys die within a district, it will take longer for your crops to grow, or even kill them.
Frontier Does have an excellent story line and will keep you wondering as to what will happen next. With small video cut scenes as a little treat once in awhile you are gifted with the weird and insightful antics of every Trampoli Resident. You can only wish they were longer for they only last around 5-10 seconds each.
Some maidens make a Return from Kardia to make a respectful place as a maiden in frontier. You have the choice of 15 different ladies to wed, some of which include Mist, Rosetta, and Melody, along with a few other Kardia Residents and many more new faces. The only hard decision is picking which one.
The music in Frontier could be improved, as you are listening to the same 2 minute track for hours at a time. Along with Repetitive sounds of Trampoli the makers could have put in some sort of variation, but the music is constantly changing as you travel from dungeon to the town.
Discover the many mysteries of Raguna and Trampoli, including the floating whale island. With a Game that will take days to complete, along with re-playability, the game is a must have for any Harvest Moon/Rune Factory fan, or any new comer to the series.
