I asked Strombringer to translate that part of the san that shows a pair of screens in day and night, here's what he found:
I replied, and he agrees that there is a real day/night feature, these creatures just seem to cause various weather effects!

Graphically, the game's really not that amazing, but the artwork is incredible and it really shows.

seems promising.

The 'H' stands for hentai.
Looks great, hopefully they add more potential partners.

Oh and I don't "get" MGS, so I guess we're even! Except for the part where I come into MGS threads saying "it looks nice but I don't "get" it".
On a better note: I liked Rune Factory, but unfortunately, there's no female avatar option. I wish they'd add it in.

That's where the screens came from!
Hopefully Storm or someone else will translate the info soon!

Maybe there are ones that can change the time of day too?batbeg said:I'm still kind of confused. If all that changed was the weather and not the time of the day thanks to this little critter, why did the shadow flip around?
Either way, such a good looking looking game

They never did for the original, so I'm not sure they will for this one. It'd be nice though. I was very happy when HM "for girls" started being the standard. It's kinda awkward "dating" your own sex.

Why does Mist have white hair in her artwork, but her in-game model is blonde?
Rune Factory's "plot" is probably keeping them from making a female version.Dragona Akehi said:
She was always meant to be platinum blonde. I guess the blond hair looked better on a model?Hero of legend said:

The first DS one was a little bare-bones, but I could see it developing into a lovely series. When the second DS one due out in North America? I'll probably have to choose between this, or the portable version depending on features. With Harvest Moon(s) around the corner too, it'll be tough decisions everywhere.

Because actually, contrarily to what I could dinstinguish on the scan, what these screenshots show are probably not a spontaneous weather change, but rather the character interacting with two different types of Ruunii at two different times of the day. In addition, now that the online article gives me access to the most meaningful article bits in a bit more practical format, I now understand that these Ruunii thingies do not "spontaneously" alter their environment, but rather the rate at which some specific environmental occurrences happen, or the probability for one of those event to happen (either in the course of the game, or maybe for a limited time - it is not specified) ; for example, the rate at which rain falls, or the rate at wich some precises types of cultivations burgeon, and such. This difference in meaning between both interpretations could seem not that big, but I imagine that it is actually pretty important in relations to the mechanics of the game...batbeg said:
According to the same article, all these girls are potential candidates for marriage.Halycon said:

Looking great, hopefully the gameplay is as good as the char models/graphics.

If they made a female avatar, they would have to change all the dialogue in the game and many of the girls into guys. Also, the main character in the last game was a man, so it would break the continuity. It would make a bit more sense though, in a farming community =P But then again, wouldn't you be getting court-ed?
About the shadow thing......isn't it dusk in the second picture, and the time of day was therefore different?

Mmmh, yes, I guess so. After all, this is part of the game's challenge.Halycon said:

All of those arguments could be applied to the previously non-female avatar HM games.

The newest DS game is currently floating between July 29 and August 26. The pre-order bonus is a plushie chicken.
The Wii game is set to be released on the same day as the DS game, but its pre-order bonus is the same cow used for A Wonderful Life a few years ago.
The moving shadow is due to the change of time. That's all it is. The shadows in AWL also moved with sun's path if I remember correctly.
Not in the girl versions of the series. You're the aggressive one
Although I have to say, some of the girls in HMDS had ridiculous requirements. So glad I didn't bother picking it up.Stormbringer said:
Damn your stealth edit undoing your previous stealth edit in response to my edit pointing out your first stealth edit!

Hey, I didn't say I was opposed to a Rune Factory game where you play as a hot, yet mildly aggressive country girl!

You know how in HM, where whatever girl you'd court, you'd have the equivalent male vying for her attention too? Those men become your love interests, and the corresponding women become your rivals. Works nicely.
Right, but when you arrive on the farm, it's usually Ann who starts you off. How does that work? Does Rick become your farm tutor in the For Girl versions?Dragona Akehi said:
Like in Rune Factory, Rosette collects the shipments and fights over you with Misty from time to time. wouldn't they have to replace Misty with Zavier and Rosette with Lukas? Or would it be called Rune Factory: Lesbian Overtones?
EDIT: And was there a rival for Lynette? I stopped playing midway through year two so I'm fuzzy on a lot of details.

It's been awhile, but yes, you should get Rick to help you out at first. There's always a rival for each girl, I'm pretty sure.
Spiegel said:I want to play JRPGs on Wii so although I don't like "Harvest Moon" I will play this because looks nice.
I was mainly teasing.
