Ever had that feeling "This is life huh" while farming in Harvest Moon? That feeling of normalness in a peaceful village where you just plant vegetables/fruit, take care of animals, talks to villagers, have sexy time with girls/boys next door, fishing and others mundane life of a sim. That feeling while holding your hoe or axe "I want to bury this in that guy's face.. or that bear butt". I want to ride a wolf yo, not a horse sort of feeling.. That feeling "I want to date an elf, a dwarf, a sword wielding gal and punches things with them". If you have that sort of feeling, this game might suit you. Welcome to a fantasy harvest moon, Rune Factory..

QUOTE
Fair skies above the clouds come crashing down on a dragon in the form of a resilient hero, whose origins and intentions are unknown due to the unfortunate consequence of having lost all memories on impact. Noticing a unique ability to bring soil to life and connect with monsters, Ventuswill, the Divine Wind Dragon, issues you a proclamation: stay in this castle as royalty, and bring prosperity to the town of Selphia!
Now called an 'Earthmate' for your talents, you must take on the responsibilities and wishes of the citizens, and it won't be easy. Befriending the townspeople, arranging festivities, expanding the town and reviving the fields must now become second nature to you. There is also the matter of protecting the town from a great monster in the forest, only to see it transform into a young girl right before your eyes...
What reasons are there to be placed as royalty under the watchful eye of the Divine Wind? What force could transform a monster into a human being? While adventuring and building new friendships within Selphia, you – the newly-designated ruler – will draw ever closer to the secrets buried in your own lost memories.
