Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon

What's the difficulty like by the way?

It's pretty easy for anyone to pick up and play. The bosses can be a little bit tough, but that's easily taken care of with a little extra preparation. I would say the difficulty is just right.

I will rent this game when I get a DS in a few weeks. The opening movie is great!

What exactly do you do? I've never played a Harvest Moon game, but I saw Rune Factory in the store yesterday and thought it looked interesting.

Basically, you have a little farm and you can grow stuff there for money. After you plow up a good part of your farm, the Mayor deems you worthy to go explore one of the caves, which has monsters in it. However, the caves also provide a stable environment for plants that you could only normally grow in a certain season. You can also, with the right tool, befriend the monsters so that they'll help you harvest crops or fight other monsters in the caves.

I just got to the Toros cave~ It's quite fun.

I been thinking about picking it up but after hearing this I may just have to. I've played harvest moon on gba, harvest moon gb, harvest moon n 64 and harvest moon back to nature ps1 (sucks). Honestly, the fighting aspect appeals to me. I've always wonder why they haven't ,i mean if they can make princess maker series have monsters in it why can't a farming sim.
