| Platina said: Rune Factory is, in this case, an actual spin off of the Harvest Moon franchise, which in RF4, finally dropped the 'A Fantasy Harvest Moon game' as the subline. Harvest Moon is the parent series, which is a simulation farming game. You grow crops, raise animals, compete in contests, expand your farm and build relationships with villagers where you can eventually marry them. Rune Factory takes this already good farming aspect and builds on it, turning the game into a RPG with fighting against monsters, crafting and increasing skill to up your HP and RP. So I guess Rune Factory characters would be a better choice for Smash, but they were able to make Villager from Animal Crossing work so a character from Harvest Moon isn't ruled out. I would be fine to have the MC from Rune Factory 3/4 as they are diverse enough to customize. Like Robin/My Unit in the Fire Emblem series, the MC is basically a blank slate, allowing you to customize your character in terms of skills and weapons used. The MC can also use spells so they can do a lot with them. However, though I would love to see a character from Rune Factory or Harvest Moon in Smash, it's really unlikely, as there is a possibility that they would be too similar to Villager or Robin.. |
Aww man I'm sorry. When I typed up your choices I accidentally merged the two titles, so when I looked back at it, it looked like it was just referring to the spin-off. If possible I can either bring out the Harvest Moon for another poll or both at the same time if that's cool with you. I ran out of characters faster than I thought in any case, so there would be room to spare.
