Well, there are no CGs, but you have "events" (certain character gets stuck somewhere and you have to save it; the marriage scenes, blabla), etc. But it's not like the game has a point, imo. It's really puzzle-like and you'll only enjoy it if you're into that stuff. |

And if you don't like doing all of that above are you even playing the right game!? O.o
I mean. That IS what Harvest Moon is. Rune Factory is more of a spin-off since after a certain point you don't even need to touch farming since you'll make all your money via mining.

Hearing that Rune Factory is a spinoff that isn't focused on farming, I will looking forward to the sequel game. Last edited by Shadow Kira01; 2008-10-01 at 23:41. Reason: to fix quote syntax error |

Well in a way Rune Factory's farming is even more important then the normal. Since you have to grow crops to get Rune Points (or rather to refill them) unless you want every action to take up your HP... And running out of HP in a dungeon will result in a Game Over (A Harvest Moon first!)
You just have to farm. It's what Harvest Moon is about. It's what got me started on it. Rune Factory was a nice, fun way to change the farming system to being more useful since in any other HM animals yield much better profit (minus Pineapples).

If rune points are all you're after you just have to farm once, grow a quick-growing crop and then leave it there for the rest of the game. But in Rune Factory 2, later dungeons will often require that you grow a certain kind of crop or flower, e.g. pineapples, before you can proceed. Do you know how long it takes for pineapples to grow? =_=

Other than for gaining cooking recipe or winning crop festivals, you can totally skip farming in it.

I wanted to marry Nami, but she did not marry me in the end so I got stuck with that cute brunette girl. I was upset about that though because I was so close and worked so hard for Nami.
Also, I have still not been given that horse! What is taking it so long? I am at the point where one should have gained posession of it a long time ago, yet it is still not here! I can bet that farmer that gives you things has stolen and eaten it! |

I suggest you farm in order to win some harvest festivals. You can receive wonderfuls if you win. Those wonderfuls will certainly help in the mines.
I was able to reach the 255th floor of the mines with a basically enhanced hammer, and even then I was still able to earn a LOT. After that, I got married to Julia and it was back to farming and gathering grasses for the next run. I haven't touched the game since. I guess I'm not in the mood right now. |

Not farming will just make the game harder For example you can't get Sheep at all since you need to ship like 100 crops to unlock the 2 boy farmers required to unlock them.
