Obscure but one of the better RPGs on a system the world forgot, Rune Factory Frontier is a Nintendo Wii farming-sim fantasy game by Neverland Co., Marvelous Entertainment and XSEED Games. Frontier is the third entry in the Rune Factory series, which is a spin off of the Harvest Moon franchise (now known as Story of Seasons). Where Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons has traditionally been all about the farming, raising animals, mining, fishing, making friends and getting married, Rune Factory Frontier takes those core elements and builds upon them by adding action-RPG gameplay. Producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto described Rune Factory as “Harvest Moon where you wield a sword”.
However, it remains to be seen whether those elements serve to raise the quality of the game or if they merely seem tacked on.
Rune Factory Frontier introduces Raguna, a lonely young man
who has apparently lost his memory and his home. In his wanderings, he
encounters a girl who gives him food and new memories to enjoy, until
she disappeared one day. Raguna ventures off in search of the girl who
helped him. He staggers into the village of Trampoli in the night,
exhausted from his journeys.
The following morning, after resting in the village church, Raguna
runs into Mist, the girl who went missing. Surprised he found her so
easily, he asks her to come back with him but Mist is convinced she
needs to remain in this village because she hears something calling to
her. Mist tells Raguna that he can move into an empty house nearby and
tend the homestead farm.
And on that pretty flimsy basis, Raguna is now a resident of
Trampoli.
