Rune Factory 3 Offical Website, and other translations Options

Ah. <3 I can't wait until I see the opening in full, it looks sick!

And you can drag people along with you in dungeons? Sicker~ I really want this game to come out in Australia, neither RF2 or RFF have. ;__; They better hit Australia or else someone's got to be sleeping with one eye open.

And I agree on the terms of strawberry picking.

[Mushmallow]

Aw I wanna play and marry as a girl I hope they do that by RF4 T_T

[~Miitan]

RF3 site updated with a new marriage candidate and some game mechanics (A commercial, too, but none of the footage is new). Also note worthy is that three shaded figures appear in the "Heroines" section along with the new girl. So, that's probably all of them then, meaning there are likely to be 10 candidates. They could add more, though. I'm just throwing my speculation out there.. And if you snoop into the new "Romance" section, you can see one of the shaded characters. Her name is Sakuya, filling the Japanese character slot (She's adorable, BTW). Oh, and the new non-shaded elf girl's name is Dahlia. I'll leave the rest to Marie since I'm a lazy bum.

[Charmy]

This game looks so interesting~ I really want to have the chance of playing it~

[Cherryblossom]

Oh oh oh! I'm excited too! (Not as excited as I am for HMAP though...man, I'm obsessed.)

Fingers crossed that it will be better than RF2...such a disappointment. Nothing compared to RF1. But from the website and trailer it looks promising :D.

I also agree with the comments on the strawberry picking and fighting. They look awesome (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif) And the girls look much better in RF3 than those in RF2 (excluding Mana 'cause she's adorable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) ).


EDIT: Oh, and Charmy, I have no hope of it coming here to Australia T__T I can't believe RF 1 and 2 never came out here...Guess it didn't bother me that much because I just bought them overseas, but still! It's the principle!

I'll leave the rest to Marie since I'm a lazy bum.

If only I weren't such a lazy bum myself. ^^;;;;

I'll try to get some new info up in this topic and on the RF3 section of the site next week. With a number of last-minute vacations (which are finally all finished now), apartment hunting, housework, and making RFF/Animal March videos, I've found myself surprisingly busy lately...

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Ah, the life of someone with a life. So thrilling. Though I'm sure everyone can have an inkling of patience while you manage to do what it is you do so well.

[Marie]

Can't say I can complain about the whole apartment hunting thing. This is my first opportunity to get my own place, and I'd better not screw it up. I could have done without the vacations, though. I don't travel well.

The people here are a heck of a lot more patient than the people I deal with on YouTube, that's for sure. XD The difference is amazing.

One of those shadowy girls has a hairstyle similar to Chocolat's, and I was confused for a moment, thinking that is WAS her. Silly me.

The official site doesn't seem to say anything about the possibility of rival couples, but there do seem to be some guys who would make good rivals for some of the girls. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

I can't buy it from overseas because of the regions thingy and it's just too much.

But RF1 did come out in Australia, there's absolutely no news about RF2 though.... And RFF's release is meant to be in October sometime.

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

You know the DS has no region protection at all, right?

[Charmy]

It doesn't? That's a plus, I got my brother saying it doesn't then my parents saying it does. :o And my brother's been more incorrect so I believed them. D':

But still, it's just annoying to have to buy it from overseas.

[~Miitan]

If only I weren't such a lazy bum myself. ^^;;;;

Oh, I don't think you're lazy, just fairly active. I, on the other hand, have extended amounts of time and knowledge and do nothing with it. ;I

There's always r0ms, Charmy.

[Charmy]

There was a problem with getting it off the Internet, I forget what, but I remember that it was a good reason.

Oh, RF1 did come here? I guess it's good for those who buy here. And that means there's a possibility that RF3 will come too...Just several years after RF2 which will take several years to get here...*sigh* Best to stick to online buying...

Oh, and like Darth-Paper-Boy said, there is no region protection. I bought my DS in Australia, and RF1 and 2 (not to mention a whole bunch of other games) from the US and other countries.

And yeah, it can be a pain, but better that than not getting the games at all (or having to wait for a VERY long time) ^^;

[Charmy]

The foreign girls up. She looks adorable. <3
And somewhat of a merchant in townspeople?

*Keeps on wishing for Australian release*

[~Miitan]

I told youuuu.

I don't think she's a merchant, but her mother seems to be. She (like Yue before her) will most likely be someone I may have to unconditionally chase after.

[Marie]

Aah. **rubs eyes** I swear I'll update the character page here and on the site tomorrow. XD

For once, MMV is posting information really rapidly. 'Tis hard to keep up.

The Japanese-style girl is Sakuya, and she is the merchant. Not her mother. Man, she looks like Yue with a palette change... Persia lives with Sakuya and her mother. Sakuya's mother, Shinonome, runs a Japanese-style inn (ryokan), and Sakuya, who evidently likes to travel, sells items that she's picked up on her travels.

[~Miitan]

I can't read kanji for crap, it seems. But thanks for the translations, Marie.

[Marie]

Kanji is very hard. XP Japanese verbs can be a challenge, too. Keep at it, Miitan. You've done a good job with posting information.

I wonder if Sakuya's name is a play on her job... "Saku" can mean a lot of things, and one meaning is "a work" (like a work of art or something), while "ya" at the end of a word often means "shop." So "Sakuya" can mean something along the lines of "a shop that's a work of art" or "a shop of works of art."

Just a random observation, but I thought it was cute...
