Strangely enough, as much as I've wanted to dive in the series, I've never really gotten a chance to try it out xD I do have animal parade, but never gotten around to playing it. I'm not even sure if that one is good... One of these days,  I really need to play it.  Maybe once I play it, I'll have a good idea if I wanna play more games like it.

And I think I prefer Rune Fact more as well, though I found 3 to be okay, and I still haven't played 4 yet..

The most recent Harvest Moon game I have played was Tales of Two Towns, and though it's not my favourite Harvest Moon game, they have been expanding on and improving their farming mechanics and gameplay with each new release. It had a good unique spin to it, so I'm sure Story of Seasons as well as the new one will meet my standards :p

Now go finish RF4!! XD
