Omg! I can't freaken wait!
I'm going to probably throw down everything I'm playing (all the other sweet releases on other consoles/handhelds) and probably just play this.
The other DS titles that come out during that time don't interest me as much. Moon does a bit though.

I'm so excited for this that I am actually pre-ording for the first time- and it's not even for the squirrel cause it actually looks kind of ugly, no?

November is going to be such a ROCKING release month for the DS!!!

I bought Rune Factory off of some kid on CraigsList for 5$, he just played it for an hour and hated it. But me, I fell in love. I'm ridiculously excited for Rune Factory 2, and yeah, it will probably occupy me for the next 6 months and leave all my other awesome games neglected. I'm sorry, Castlevania.

Out of curiousity, when did you feel sucked in?

I just couldn't get into this one. I think it may be that for me, HM is really best/most enjoyable on a console.

Think I just kinda gave up when I was making the rounds of the town, got a few tools, tried to get familiar with where everything was, and then just meh.

Magical Melody sucked me in like craaaaaaaazy, and I just haven't been able to catch the magic again. I just started ToT, so hopefully that'll get the job done.

I think I got sucked in once I started hitting the first dungeon pretty hard. It was frustrating, at first, but in a good way. I actually don't like many dungeon crawlers because they can be too easy, but the RP/HP system and the arduous process of earning money really made getting to and beating the boss a lot more of a challenge than just running around and smacking things. I'd actually love to see a more traditional RPG take some of the aspects of the Rune Factory system and try to make a strategic, resource management based hack-n-slash.

But I also like the farming, though I've played Rune Factory so much on my DS that I think my hands are going to snap in half, and I really would prefer to be holding an ergonomic controller than a bit of square plastic, to be honest.

Mana's yandere. And when Kyle inevitably cheats on her, he'll ultimately wind up with a hatchet in his back.

I'm still playing the first one (and I got it when it first came out!) so I probably won't be getting this one.. However, I might pick it up later when I do finish the first game. :) Rune Factory is a great twist on the series.

Does the subtitle of this game a pun or something?

Seems to me like they are trying to make on harvest moon
