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

[Pumpkin Patch]

This game looks great, I wish I could understand Japanese...oh well, I didn't watch them all, but somebody let me know when they post a video with Tabatha or the other elf maid! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

I didn't really like the opening though, I like the ones that sound more energetic.

I never saw Tabatha but the other elf girl is in this video:
Electra and Her Mother's Intro

And in this one:
Some kind of tour around town

I can't wait to see some more of the festivals.

[epona]

The festivals better be fun.

Someone posted what the spirits do.

A couple more videos were added. I think I know what the season sprite things do now. Basically, I think you're supposed to add them to the ground of an area (an island or whatever, I'm not sure) to make that area the season of the sprite you added. And then you can grow the crops of that season there, or something. So, in other words, they're absolutely nothing like Runeys.

They sound interesting, and the farming is like this, *wave wand, tell monster to work on them, come back later to get your crops*. At least it will give us some more RP to go do something else with.
Link to the video on spirits and farming.

A strong will do I have. I resisted the temptation to watch all of those videos. Not that watching them would tell me anything. Well, aside from the obvious

Seems this one is going to be a bit more cinematic, which is cool. Also, I'm liking how fast-paced the action is looking.

[epona]

The obvious can tell you a lot about the story and stuff.

This video has a lot of stuff about how Ymir works and other stuff.
Link.

This video has some spirit collecting from the first dungeon, and it shows off how the Iaido(?) swordplay works.
Link.

Thanks! I only watched the first 2 since I couldn't understand what they were saying. Merupin looks much better in-game than her picture, guess she'll be the first person I marry,.

Why does Electra's mother look so gigantic compared to the others? And she sounds like a man...

[Pumpkin Patch]

No problem.

Also that lady is voiced by man. At least I think that was mentioned somewhere.

Okay so I watched the videos and remember that person in Bismarck's shop? Well in the first video there is another one in the bar but with a purple bandanna. So they most likely are just non important faceless villagers like in RF3.

But (also in the first video) who is the black haired guy at like 2:15~2:20? Maybe another style of non important villager. Or maybe Juslyn's husband (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) .

I loved the music in the dungeon. And oh man Ymir just made. He was so close to running out of RP.

[Twilight Wandere...]

Yes, Bonaparte is voiced by a man. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Can anyone supply me with the intro so I don't have to go digging for it? :B

[Pumpkin Patch]

I think this is what you're looking for (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaeyes.gif) .

I just saw how Pandora comes in, but I'm not telling.

Someone put up Azel's opening and Sonia's opening. Azel's is better in my opinion, but if you like up beat stuff then you'll like Sonia's better.
Link.

[Pumpkin Patch]

Sonia's opening felt like the opening of a sitcom (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaeyes.gif) . Just with the walking at the start and tone of the song. It was really cute though. I would like Azel's more if it wasn't for the 3D Ymir part. I never like when 3D and animation is mixed.

Coooool Pandora. I hope she's not a childish person.

I'm going to watch the video. I have no will power.

*Edit*

I saw! She is totally a kid (IMG:style_emoticons/default/emot-gonk.gif) .

Agreed.

Pandora is one of those characters who are just an evil little kid with an adult body. ...Why couldn't she be a real dark lord?
Hey I just noticed that I was right when I said she's using her evil dark lord powers to control her scarf.

Does anyone else feel like Sonia was going to be there just for the story and then they decided to make her a playable character?

[Pumpkin Patch]

That is too bad about Pandora. I guess she's off my favorite marriage candidate list.

I hope not. It would be lame if she was just a side thought. But I always think of it as they purposely added a female MC, but not all the way just to see if it is popular or not.

[BunnyChan360]

Iaido is the Japanese martial art of fighting with both the sword and scabbard. There's really no type of martial arts for two swords, so this is pretty similar.

I kinda like Sonia's opening now that I've seen the animation, reminds me of an anime theme. Azel's kind of sounds sad though.

Does anyone have a link to meeting Pandora? I'm kinda curious now. Plus she may act childish when you meet her, but she may have some hidden depths. Who nose maybe she'll act more mature by the time you can marry her.

[Pumpkin Patch]

Here ya go:

Pandora

Eh Pandora is not for me. She is just a typical baby pan that wants to be taken seriously but then whines and stops her feet like a child. Even if she does have more to her she is still not the type of character I like. I will woo her anyways though.

[epona]

I don't even care if Pandora is in the game or not, I'll probably just un-freeze her and then never talk to her again.

Masked Man's first appearance.
Link.
I just noticed that he and Juslyn have the same color pendents... what if Masked Man is Juslyn's husband and she came looking for him after he got possessed by some evil power!?

[kirarixx2]

I don't understand one thing... when are you able to play the girl and when the boy??

[epona]

I don't understand one thing... when are you able to play the girl and when the boy??

You play as Azel(the boy) at the beginning of the game and throughout the main story, after you beat the main story you can play as Sonia(the girl) or continue playing as Azel.

I hope not. It would be lame if she was just a side thought. But I always think of it as they purposely added a female MC, but not all the way just to see if it is popular or not.

I found out that they added Sonia late in game development, which means she is just an add on!

Aww too bad D: I hoped to be able to paly her in the whole story T.T
If you chose to play Sonia... what will happen to Azel??

[epona]

Sonia being in Azel's head is part of the story so they couldn't make it a choose who you play as game.
And no one knows as of right now, but I'm thinking the person you don't play as just becomes a villager, since you can marry them after the main story ends.

[BunnyChan360]

Thanks for the link, Pumpkin!

I was watching the opening video for Azel again and I noticed writing by his feet (at the very beginning). I paused at that moment and was pleasently surprised to see that I recognised the writing. They're Anglo-Saxon runes! Give me a sec and I'll tanslate them.

...Nevermind, it's just gibberish the middle word ends up being: "FBREWDFMRB". It was probably just supposed to look cool. It's not like the writing in AP or in Legend of Zelda.

As for having to wait to play Sonia: wouldn't that give you more reason to get farther in the game? Plus it'll be good fanfic fodder. Can you imagine some of the hilarious hijinx? It's a good concept for the story too.

Now, back to finding that Pandora video (YouTube doesn't work well with PS3s, especially userpages). At least it gives me an excuse to watch the other videos. :3
