The gameplay is almost identical to last year's Rune Factory and has an optimum mix of RPG-style battles and tried and true farming. Although this title does not carry the signature "farm to save the world" storyline that has been the hallmark of many Harvest Moon titles. Although some aspects of the story, such as your love interest and children, will be determined by your actions in-game, many of the story elements are quite rigid. Even though it's a slow start, the story spans two generations, and there are plenty of memorable moments along the way. The story is very sparse at first, and you'll have to wait five or six hours before the action really begins. He wakes up in a cherry blossom garden where a young girl explains his location to him and offers him some basic tools and a farm to live on. The story in Rune Factory 2 follows a young man who seems to have lost his memory. However, Rune: Facrtory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon adds some much-needed new elements to the Harvest Moon formula, despite being eerily similar to last year's Rune Factory. For all their storyline and character differences, at their heart, all these games were painfully similar and didn't seem to deliver on the innovation so many were expecting.
However, even though the release list was rather large, one lingering issue all these different releases shared was a lack of innovation.
