  • okay, whoever is talking right now, do every video review on youtube, your voice doesn't make me mute you and that is a massive plus.

  • I called a gamestop 2day and I asked if they had this game and they said "its not a harvest moon game." And I was like if it has Harvest Moon in the title its a Harvest Moon game

  • I saw the game on sale online for as low as twenty bucks!

  • Looks cool, I might try it after I finish the three zeldas I've been neglecting.

  • The nun has an axe O.o creepy

  • Love this game. Rune Factory is the reason why I bought myself a ds console in a second XD

  • I am so glad I just happened to see this being advertised in Nintendo Power 2 1/2 years ago. I have a copy and so do 2 of my friends lol.

  • I LOVE the way it showed one of mist's many stupid moments when he said "though it may not make a lot of sense." this is my favorite video game of all time for any platform.

  • It seems more or less exactly like the DS versions. God those games are good, I'm getting this mailed to me in a couple of days hopefully! By the way does anyone know of any plans for Tides of Destiny (Oceans) to be released in Europe anytime soon?

  • I love Rune Factory ^^

  • could a 6 year old play this

    he likes the lord of the rings and films like that

  • @drgoodman8 ..

  • @LeonArcher2514 natsume the developers of the game probably wont put these games on xbox because they make the games for nintendo which means it probably wont be on xbox. i dont understand why they put one game of the series on ps3 though. these games will most likely just be on wii, the ds, and the 3ds

  • so how is this game related to rune factory one for the ds? does it just have the same characters with a different story or what?

  • THIS GAME IS EPIC i have it

  • Which do you guys like better: This or Tides of Destiny?? I can't decide which I want more..=\

  • I played this game after I played harvest moon.

    I loved the harvest moon game but after trying this game I'm don't think I'll ever go back to that series again. Rune factory takes the best of harvest moon and removes the bad and adds a lot of epicness to make one awesome game. :D

  • Great game. I got it for free :P

    Can't wait for tides of destiny tho >.< Already pre-ordered it

  • Is that too for Wii now? please answer these question ^_^

  • i was very fortunate to find this game very cheap ($16) not too long ago. such a great game!

  • got the game 2 days ago and already quit, runey system ruined this game.

  • Comment removed

  • I must say.. Rune factory 3 for the DS is a lot better. Then again, it came out after this game. I look forward to the new Rune Factory next month.

  • If anyone is interested in this game BUY it the second you see it (more then likely it will be used). Frontier is INCREDIBLY rare now with used copies going for about $50-$60 dollars online, while new copies are anywhere from $100 and up. It really is one of the very best Wii games out. Great graphics, music, and RIDICULOUSLY addictive gameplay. Track it down if you can.

  • @jediknightgeo

    Makes me glad I bought the game when I did. I ended up spending about 23 dollars on it.

  • @MrFaceofinsanity01 Nice, u definately got a great deal on it.

  • @jediknightgeo I paid $15 for a used copy. Best $15 ever spent though

  • @jediknightgeo CRAP NOW YOU TELL ME

    I saw this at the store for like $30 but i didn't know what it was so i didn't buy it qAq

  • @Lugiaskr Yeah, I dont even know you so how would I've known you wanted it?

  • @jediknightgeo yust saying :V

  • I love this game, Uzuki, Annette, and Candy FTW :D

  • I'm a girl who was reluctant to start playing video games and the Harvest Moons and Rune Factories were my "gateway drugs" to speak. I love the games, they're brilliant. Weirdly fun to play with my brother.

  • In my opinion Harvest Moon is the best, but this looks pretty decent. I like the fact they included combat.

  • I'm wondering, should I get this game or just wait for Rune Factory Oceans to come out?

  • @Triixster hack your wii and get the all free!

  • @Triixster THIS ONE!

  • This games is amazing!!!!! i play it mostly every day......if you like "controlling your own person" kinda games u will love this one.

  • I love the Harvest moon series!

  • people who already tryed this can u play this game with the gamecube controller please tell me

  • i would love that game, but im not ganna buy it know why? because i am a girl, and i get tired of courting wemon in my video games, especially when i know how much fun it is to romance the mens.

  • @zZVulpixZz

    That wouldn't be the only reason why you won't be buying this game, mam. Frontier is somewhat of a rare game typically sells for about $45-$60.US used and $80-$100.US sealed. I was fortunate enough to find this game at a yard sale for $10. Not to worry though, there are currently 2 new Rune Factory games coming out. RF:Oceans will be released for the Wii and PS3, while RF 4 will be released for the 3DS. I don't know about Oceans, but in RF 4 you can choose the character's gender.

  • @dinmagic Very cool! I bought a 3DS recently. And I've found Frontier for only $30.00 used where I live. Maybe it's not so rare? I don't know. This will be the first RF game I play, and now that I've read what you said about 4, I'm going to look into that one too.

  • is this game for ds?

  • @akira706266 read the goddamn description.

  • @akira706266 Nope just for Wii, as its a reimagining of Rune Factory 1 which you can get for DS

  • @akira706266 this game isnt but other rune factory games are (1, 2, and 3).

  • Rune Factory!! :DD i played it on DS now i wish it still was,,

  • this game is quite hard to find in store. but i just ordered it online, can't wait!

  • LOL at 2:40 and on. Imagine farmers actually doing that shit to farm stuff. LOL!

  • @dss103 LOL . je's farting

  • Yes, you can marry people

  • your review was absolutely HORRIBLE. you spoke too fast, sounded COMPLETELY disinterested, and bored me to death. get a new day-job. you suck at life.

  • @mgcwow52 i can see your a nice person..

  • @mgcwow52 Wow. Someone's a jerk. >.>

  • I heard that in rune factory you can be married and still date people. Is this true?

  • I wanted it so bad I ended up ordering it from the internet, and I don't regret it. <3

  • this game looks suprisingly cool. but dont reviews usually give a score at the end?

  • Tip:

    Increase your craft by about a bunch of level for just 900 gold a day. You would need yarn maker, the headgear book from selphy, any forge, able to buy wool from Erik, level 13 craft or more, and 5400 gold. Buy 30 wool from erik for about 5400 gold, go to your craft and make handknit hat (make it level 2), and then sell it for 4500 dollars. You would increase five levels a day if your craft is about level 40 something because that was my level about an hour ago.

    Hope it helps :D

  • Playing this game right now. :D

  • I wanted this game for a while but now that i am willing to purchase it, its not sold anywhere..............if any1 knows were i can get it new pls tell me >.<

  • @StillC00lerThanU If you still haven't bought the game yet I would suggest Amazon (where I bought mine) or perhaps ebay.

  • @DarkLight2136 i ended up getting it from ebay :D thanks for the suggestion though~

  • rf ROCKS

  • Looks interesting, time to rent it and install it to my Wii's hard drive x3

  • can u be a girl in this version by any chance??

  • @twinkletoesstar there is one coming up Rune Factory Oceans however the female potion was extremely ignored because there is only 4 boys while there is 10 girls

  • This game is really good

    I bought it from GAME for £30

    But then my wii broke and I haven't been able to play it since the summer holidays :(

    But this is still a really good game!!

  • @Viviankazune Hi I have been interested in this game but does it have a real RPG story or does it consintrate more on the farming? should i buy this game

  • @youssef11223344 I'd say it does have a real RPG story but it's quite long, and farming is the easiest way to make money. Farming is an important part of the game, but I guess you don't have to do it. Buy this game if you really want, but there's a new rune factory that's being translated. It's called Rune Factory Oceans and the graphics and storyline seem much better. (I'm happy because you can play as a girl :D) I heard the English ver. will be ready by aroung the beginning of 2012.

  • @Viviankazune Heard the farming is watered down on Oceans though. Combat seems to be the main focus of the game and there's less bachelors for girls to choose from compared to the number of bachelorettes.

  • this games seems to have the same engine of twilight princess

  • why is this game so high now?

  • who said the wii cant have good games!

  • this game is like havest moon and final fanstay combined awsome

  • @Riceball512 No. More like a Harvest Moon and Legend of Zelda crossing.

  • God Damn it. It was $20 bucks at Walk-Mart and it's not there anymore!!

  • @ChineseTimLi Go to eBay.

  • After I watched this review. I went to my local Walmart and found the last copy for only 20 bucks, my lucky day!

  • Want a dungeon crawler? Play Final Fantasy

    Feeling Lonely? Play Harvest Moon

  • This game isn't cheap. I've been looking everywhere and the lowest price I can find of this game is $45.....USED!

  • @dinmagic probably in acceptable condition without manual lol, insane.

  • this particular game is so hot on the market right now WHAT THE FUCK, you could sell your used copy for a price higher than a new unopened brand new one with taxes at a major retailer. That's how hot this game is, holy shit.

  • please tell me this game has language options D: I dont want to listen to the english voice acting >.<;;

    ~Jkun~

  • that game looks beautiful.

  • @Drunkandhappy167 they did wait for Rune Factory oceans for wii and ps3

  • @sugarkitty2008 they did change their mind wait for Rune Factory Oceans for wii and ps3 u can be a guy or girl

  • I won't be supporting this game because they dropped gay marriage and won't let you play as a female character.

  • @777neotamakachi777 Are you serious? That would be like saying I'm wont be playing because there are no black people. I'm not sure if gay marriage is in the other HM or RF games, but I do know that female characters were implemented later in the series. At risk of sounding like a dick, pull you head out of your ass, it's just a game. No need for a social agenda when it comes to fun.

  • @777neotamakachi777 Which Harvest Moon or whatever spin off has Gay marriage? XD

  • @hasegawamiki Rune Factory 2. The second generation, it has two girls getting married. The main female character (Aria) can "marry" the twin sisters Sera and Serena. It happens after some requests.

  • @PrivateSFolger OMFG D:!!!

  • I want to play this game but I am not paying 50$ for it on amazon just because it isnt made anymore.

  • @1:20 (ish) "pacific days" i hate when people say that.

  • i'm considering this game, the graphics are nice and i'm a huge fan of harvest moon. however, i just don't see how a combat game and a farming game can mix into one. it's seems like there would be too much to do. also, can you play as girl?

  • @sugarkitty2008 No you can't play as a girl but the creators might change that later in the series like HM.

  • :D I love this game, one of my favorites on the series. :3

  • LOL, I'm getting the Nintendo Wii just to play this game :)

  • @niecanel912 Hay, If your getting a nintendo wii. You should check out this game, The Legend Of Zelda Twilight Princess for the Wii! I love that game, just hour's upon hour's of sweet gameplay.

  • @WarriorOfTheHeavens Thanks! CANT WAIT! :DDD

  • Just found out, theres a NEW rune factory game on the way. Its called Rune Factory Oceans, its set for release on the 24th of Feb 2011 in Japan, its coming out on the Wii and PS3.

    i live in the UK so im probably gonna have to wait like another 2 and a half years before i can get my hands on it, but im already getting exited about it. :D

  • @FireFlashMatt yep know how you feel live there too. which version if it comes out here will you get? I'm probally gonna get the wii if it makes it. (punches air ine exicment)

  • @Commentar209 yeah same here, im gonna get the wii version, i have a 360 and wii, got wi-fi but i dont have live on the 360. 

  • i love this game , sold accidently :( but my only problem with it is the enrgy bar , goes down waaayyyyy to fast , its a real piss of , but til an amazing game.

  • I have had this game fir two years and am finally playing it more than once every few weeks. It's true that the weapon creation is slow, as well as the cooking, but it is only because you lack the funds to buy new items from the peddler. Anyways, once you have enough wood piled up and enough money the game gets better when extensions are added to your house! This is a really fun game!

  • They need to make a Wii Rune Factory with a character creation.

  • ehhhh...i think ill stick with the ds version...

  • Rule 34 Here i come.

  • @LulzBat I lol'd. I fucking lol'd HARD!

  • Our youngest daughter's nickname is Turnip :)

  • @The420Community On the DS version, The Debut Run Factory's title is:

    Rune Factory; A fantasy Harvest Moon.

    It is by the same company (Natsume) And if your a Harvest Moon fan,

    And a dungeon game fan, (For example, The Legend of Zelda) You will probably love this [:

  • Do NOT buy, this is the worst game I have ever played. The farming is fun, the dungeons is new and cool, the people are cool, nice scenery, BUT crafting is a pain in the ass, you cant cook anything you want untill you reach a certain level. AND, dont get me started on the RUNEY SYSTEM. FUCKING GAME! read about the runey system before you buy it.

  • @StatuesBleedingGreen One man's trash, is another man's treasure, y'know?

  • @StatuesBleedingGreen

    Relax. The game is awesome. About the runey system.. I found a method for it. Now I only need to do something about runeys ONCE A MONTH. And it is very easy to do.

  • Take a breath. And talk slower.

  • For pears sake! This game is made by the sane people as harvest moon so it's not a copy! Plus this game series is wayyy better than Harvest moon

  • WANT IT REALLY BAD!!!

    problem IT´S REALLY HARD TO FIND!!!!

  • @killerphoenix92 I got's mine on ebay. No one in Canada carries it.

    The game IS harder than the DS. I think the designers of the really want to slow you down. If you like a lot of game play this game has it!

    Oh yeah that made Mist REALLY REALLY DITZY! “the weather is soooooo nice”

    really annoying and funny at the same time. She is also dippy on the quiz challenge day.

    It's worth getting if you find it.

  • @killerphoenix92 You could always softmod your Wii and get it for free on the net ;) Just google ways to do it and make sure you got an external Hard Drive to save plenty of games and play them from there!

  • @SolidOberon Thanks for the idea but I like to buy the orinals and keep them for the future, you can say that im kinda of a collector when its about games.

  • @killerphoenix92 Oh I am too, but at the same time I want to play as many games as I can :P However I lack the funds most of the time. So I settle for digital copies of games and if I want a taste of collecting I download the game manuals in PDF form.

  • It looks very nice, however this is no Harvest Moon game, mainly because the whole essence or point of harvest moon is not present in here or pretty much destroyed with all the killing, even though it has the whole farming and everything, but that doesn't make it harvest moon, more like a action virtual fantasy life game.

  • @PeaceOfTruth first, the monsters doesnt get killed, they only get back to the fores of beggining cuzz they are spirits, and second.... it is still an awesome game man you have to admit that.

  • MUST GET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I like the fact that one of my favorite voice actors plays one of my favorite video game characters!!!

  • vejam o meu canal!

  • DO WANT!!!!

  • aww. you named your character Blight. ty so very much for your tribute. your faith makes me powerful! ^^

  • Rune factory = harem harvest moon

  • harvest moon clone + harem = fail

  • @FionaGureden

    it`s part of the harvest moon series.

    the original was called rune factory a fantasy harvest moon.

    its not a clone its a spinoff.

  • @The420Community

    The Rune Factory series is a spinoff

  • Hmm... Guess you can't choose to play a girl in any Rune Factory, right? ._. (sorry for my not-that-good english)

  • @LittlePhoenixNaiad In the Ds version, (I think its the first one..) If you choose a Girl for your child, You can later play as her :)

    And your english was fine.

  • i like harvest moon and rune factory but why does it have to be so.... like gay??

  • x]]

  • has anyone finished the game? I sorta really need help. I don't need help with the ladies...I need help on getting passed the Green Ruins

  • @ShukakuDemon100 What do you need help on??? I can help

  • @narutoblackman getting passed the Green Ruins

  • epic game harvest moon plus fighting monsters = win

  • WANT!!!

  • I would have loved to play this, but you cant play as a girl. I looks so cool.... oh well.

  • @shinjite06 same its so unfair :'(

  • lol, Mist wearing a turnip...that's so her

  • It aint no Tales of Vesperia. But Ive been wanting to try a sim-like game for sometime now. Only reason im playing wii is because i just got the RROD on xbox 360 D:

  • @superlucci

    their are sim games on 360!?!?!?

  • I searched for "Rune review" and I got this instead? Where is my bloody hack n' slash game?

  • a great game but damn it has really hard to find.

  • can you be a girl in this game?

  • No but you can be a girl in Rune Factory 2 for the DS.

  • The Rune Factory Series AreOne Of The Best RPG Games I've Ever Played.

  • Just bought the game but I hate the fact that I can only play as a boy. Almost went back toGS to return it....

  • @ssbmf

    really? didn't you get more annoyed by the runey system?

  • can any harvest moon fans tell me if this is better?

  • @lRedBaronl Well, over all it is a very good game, it is like a fantastic version of HM. Awsome graphic though.

  • @lRedBaronl

    it really depends on who you are. I love this version better than harvest moon because there is more to do but some people think they overcomplicated this game. Like I love the townspeople, the story, the girls, the monsters, the graphics, the fighting, just everything except one aspect of the game. So I think this is a def. buy~

  • Copy of Harvest Moon.

  • @Cristiansiko How is it a copy if its made by the same people?

    The original Runefactory was released as a special event for Harvest Moon's 10th anniversary, since then its become its own spinoff franchise.

  • is it better than Harvest Moon? I'm curious what players would suggest which to play first, this one or Harvest Moon? 

  • @Shadelassy

    i would suggest harvest moon because it is more simple and easier to grasp than rune factory. Rune factory involves festivals, farming, fighting, cooking, alchemy, forging, monsters, developing relationships, and a good story line. Harvest moon is farming, animals, festivals,developing relationships, and a good story line (depending on which harvest moon you play). I think the rune factory series is better but I recommend an old harvest moon just to get a simple grasp first :)

  • @marleix33

    Ok. Thank you . I'll try both of them but I'll do Harvest moon first. *thumbs up*

  • the music is very important in a game, is the music in this game as shitty as the music in persona 3?

  • @StatuesBleedingGreen

    I like the music in this game :) it's mostly relaxing music or if it's a festival or the summer it's more cheerful ~ oh and if you don't like persona3 music why not persona 4? I liked 4 better than 3 alot anyways :D

    Oh and you can always look up the music for this game on youtube so why not give that a shot?

  • i want this game sooo bad, but i get put off by the fact that you can only play as a boy. maybe you could play as your daughter (if u have one) when she grows up, like in harvest moon tree of tranquility...

  • @Viviankazune

    no you can't T^T i know but the girls here are cute so I guess it's forgivable? But you really should buy this game~ it's my favorite game for the wii so far :) and p.s you'll get more put off by the fact of a runey system in this game more than the fact that you only have the option of being a male. T^T

  • would i need a gamecube controler for this?

  • @PletchaMega why would you need a gamecube conrtoler if its for wii im pretty sure u can use the wii classic controller for this game though and some games accept gamecube controlers but u dont need it??????/

  • ive finnaly got the game! and the day it came y mail was the day it came out in the shop. recomend it

  • @fortty4finger only rune scape wishes it was this good

  • @fortty4finger How the hell is this great game immitating the worst MMORPG that was ever created? This is a JRPG, that is a shitty western MMO that makes you do boring-ass quests with a terrible combat system.

  • @fortty4finger fuck you runescape was a game for fucking 2 year olds

  • This review plus the 80 score average on metacritic convinced me. Gotta get this game!

  • i like this game it's very relaxing to me, and i don't think he was talking "insanely" fast

  • Why is he talking insanely fast? :D

  • you speak faster it ends faster

  • I love this game! I'm on my second time through and it's still way too much fun. The town is beautiful, I love the ruins and all the graphics are top quality. My first time through I just couldn't wait to see what would happen next and missed alot, so taking my time and just enjoying it this time around.

  • This is the best Harvest Moon game since Harvest Moon 64. I remember I got this game and my buddy got Tree of Tranquility and we went back to my place and played both. I played Rune Factory for a bit and then he put on Harvest Moon. I laughed at Tree of Tranquility. I just thought that after seeing Rune Factory Frontier, it seemed lame in comparison. To be honest, as we continue to play through them, we are both finding that Rune Factory is a much better experience.

  • @xChrisBoulterx

    Funny to see ppl complaining about 2 total diffrent Games

    Harvest Moon is a Farm Life Simulation

    Rune Factory Frontier has a Mix of more Games but its more an RPG/Adventure

    So you can't say RFF is better then HM you can say it gives more Stuff to do for ppl or more free Space to do Something other then jsut Farming.
