More details emerged about Rune Factory 3. Lots of details, really! Japanese release date is set on October 22. Those who pre-order get a nice swag kit with a drama CD and an book containing character illustrations and an original comic.
Fanmitsu also revealed other things about the game:
Your character, Mais can turn into a monster which shows you another side of farming life. I wonder how much fun can be had if you prowl around as a werewolly...
Also new to Rune Factory 3 is the Active Seed System.
Active seed grow immediately when planted and can do a number of useful things like help in battle or with the things you've planted in caves. So far, three Active Seeds have been revealed:
Jack:
-Has a pumpkin-like form
-Sucks up enemies and deals damage
Haslider:
-Shaped like a leaf (Lilypad?)
-Can be used as a floatation device over bodies of water.
Mizubasou:-Floral in shape
-Generates water for sown seeds
Also, Fanmitsu revealed two more eligible young bachelorettes for Mais' perusal. The so far cast list is as follows:
ShiaA kind girl who took care of you when you were unconscious at the beginning of the game. It's because of her recommendation that you started farming.
TounaA silent girl who works at the city's weapons shop. Why she avoids relating with people is apparently a secret.
ChocolaA girl who dreams of being a chef like her father and now works at a restaurant in town. Despite her tiny size, she has a huge appetite.
MarionAn apprentice witch who also serves as a nurse in town. She dreams of being either a fine doctor or a sorceress like her grandmother. She's childhood friends with Chocola, whom she used as a guinea pig for conducting tests for her magic cures
Rune Factory just recently grew on me... Of course I'll have my eye on this one. No english release has been scheduled as of now but considering that the first two games have been ported... well... three time's a charm, I suppose!
