Rune Factory Oceans, A new RF for Wii/PS3 announced! Options

[Charmy]

Rune Factory's really heading in good directions, eh?
I wish the games were released here faster....

[epona]

All I know about Mikoto is that she is a warrior, I can't remember if there was anything else about her on Ushi no tane.
I'm not liking Joe that much, but James is looking really nice.
Elecra bothers me for some reason.

I'm so happy Rune Factory game are getting better, now as long as they don't do what Harvest Moon has done then everything will be great.

[Pumpkin Patch]

I think RF games are getting better too. Although RF2 is still my favorite. There are real improvements in the later ones. I have high hopes for this game. James and Azel both seem pretty cool. However I bet there's only going to be half as many guys as there are girls. So they guys should be really awesome to make up for it. That does not seem to be the case.

I thought Elecra was part of the "rich family", but doesn't have any money. That's why she doesn't have servants, and cleans herself. & her mother digs in the back yard for the family treasure or something like that...? unn .

That's true she isn't rich. But she is still part of the rich family. And I'm kinda over them right now. So I still hold it against her.

[epona]

I'm thinking there will be 6 guys and 9 girls, I don't know if I should include Azel and Sonia.
Now we can get a better look at James.

I like his top hat.

Bring on all the men you want. I'm sticking with James. <3

[epona]

I have to admit that James is the only guy I like, and I'll probably not like any other guy they show. How did his top hat get so beat up?

[Twilight Wandere...]

"So I got in a fight with a wooly..."

:D

I hope they have epic reasoning behind it.

[Pumpkin Patch]

James is coooool. Maybe the hat is old (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaeyes.gif) . But the blond girl really does look like James. Does anyone know if it has been announced that she is or is not his sister.

(What is up with that thing in Odette's hair?)

[Twilight Wandere...]

Hasn't been announced yet, but I will eat James' hat if they aren't. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaevil.gif)

And that's generally worn by sushi makers, I believe. But she wears it differently. Seems she is an individual.

[Pumpkin Patch]

I guess she likes making Sushi. Thanks you~

Dag yo I want to know for sure if they're related although it's pretty likely they are.

They need to give more information. I want to see some dungeons.

[epona]

Odette is the chef at the Sisters hotel, so it's makes sense that she is wearing her hair up.
"So I got in a fight with a wooly..." if James got beat up while having an epic fight with a wooly, I'm going to start laughing.
I thought James' sister ran the store or something like that? Because if that's true she can't be his sister because she is the one who helps run/fix Ymir.

Edit: I remember Hashimoto saying somewhere that Azel has roughly the same number of bachelorettes as previous Rune Factory games.
I've counted eight girls including Sonia, but I did not count the green haired girl.

Spoiler:
Do you think the masked girl is one of the guest characters?

[Noviwan]

Hay gaiz things are still looking awesome here I see >:D

[Happy_Dingo]

All this awesome news is gonna make the wait feel even longer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalacry.gif)

Any guesses as to when it'll be released
I'm gonna say.... around October next year (don't know where I got that time period from) in America.

I've been thinking of getting a ps3... I wonder if one version of the game will be slightly superior...

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

I imagine the PS3 version'll look better, as well as actually support better TV's. If anything would support the Wii version over the PS3 one, it'd have to be some extra gameplay feature and about ten bucks off.

[Maxite]

Oh I'm sure the PS3 version will look all nice and shiny as well. If it had the same graphics as the Wii version, the PS3 version wouldn't sell. I probably will have to crack out my Rune Factory: Frontiers sometime before this comes out since I still haven't bothered finishing (or even really starting) that game.

[epona]

We have already seen the PS3 version, at least I'm pretty sure we have.
I was also thinking it is going to be released October of next year.
Anyway, new info!

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

Hooray, story details.

[Pumpkin Patch]

Yeah more stuff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaevil.gif) .

Azel regains consciousness beneath a great tree, and the first person he sees is Odette, a girl from a nearby town. Azel decides to temporarily reside on the island and leases the house next to Odette's.

So I guess Odette is the main girl. And not all three of the sisters.

Edit: I remember Hashimoto saying somewhere that Azel has roughly the same number of bachelorettes as previous Rune Factory games.
I've counted eight girls including Sonia, but I did not count the green haired girl.

Spoiler:
Do you think the masked girl is one of the guest characters?

I think there are one or maybe two more normal bachelorettes not shown yet and then one "special" girl. And two or three more guys.

Spoiler:
I don't think so. That person seems like a big part of the plot. So my guess is she is made up specifically for this game. I am guessing the green haired girl is going to be a marriage candidate and the masked person will be a "special" marriage candidate. At least that's what I'm hoping, they both seem really cool. Even though I only saw the back of one and the other is covered by a mask. Mystery is awesome. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Hunter]

So, presumably Azel and Sonia ARE the inhabitants og RF universe, just from a different location.
Anyway, shouldn't we appreciate the FIRST RF PREMISE that doesn't seem to involve amnesia? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Crystal_Skull]

Do you have to use the Playstation move in order to play the game. Becuase if so I wont get it.
