Maybe playing 3DS games has spoiled me, but this really doesn't seem like any fun.
I just started playing the original Rune Factory and it doesn't seem all that much better than the original Harvest Moon DS. Yeah, the UI is a bit slicker....But that just makes it possible for you to run around faster and grow even more radishes/day. Fishing is still dull, but I think it is the only way to get any money, early in the game. The improved, less stylus-centric UI is far from perfect, though. It seems way too easy to accidentally discard stuff.
And wood chopping is just bizarre: when you chop a log, it disappears and goes to your shed. Then do you have to go to the shed and get it (A, then X standing in front of shed) when you want to spend it? Like when I go to buy a monster hut, I don't want to press A, press X 100 times in a row to take out the wood.
And is there no way to tell how much money you have unless you are talking to a shop keeper?
And I've just started the dungeon crawling: I destroyed a monster generator and the next time I went back in the cave it respawed?! Am I gonna have to refight monsters over and over again as I run from dungeon to dungeon watering my crops? And if I get killed in a cave, I have to start the whole game over again! All that watering....
