You'll encounter the same annoyance as you spend days in bed to speed up the calendar so you can reach the next holiday, which finally advances the story by enabling you to court your desired spouse. This means that you may find yourself wasting valuable time waiting on your fellow townspeople to show up or a store to open in order to finish a job, which could prove quite dull. To worsen matters, you'll have to complete quests around the in-game clock, which determines where people will be at certain times as well as when shops open and close. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of these tasks are effortless, mundane fetch quests restricted to delivering or retrieving items, and you can complete them only one at a time. The best way to do so is to complete jobs posted on the town's bulletin board. You'll need to raise these levels if you wish to marry and progress to the second portion. Grooming monsters increases their friendship level, which determines how productive they are in the fields, whereas daily chitchat with the locals raises their friendship and love gauges. The game's social simulation element is similar to its predecessor's and affects monsters and people, adding an additional twist to both gameplay and plot. Those creatures that you collect can fight alongside you and are useful for working the farm while you're away, but it's disappointing that taming requires no skill you simply pet monsters until they tire of pounding on you. When you're not working the fields, you'll probably head for the nearest dungeon, where you tame vicious monsters by loving them into submission with gentle pats to the head. When your stamina reaches zero, your health begins to deplete, and when you run out of health points you'll collapse, which means a game over if you're in a dungeon. Working, be it planting strawberries or watering flowers, drains your rune points, which serve as your stamina gauge. Comfortable stylus controls and a convenient quick-select feature allow easier tool juggling and faster item access than in the original, though you can still rely on a simple button scheme if you prefer. You'll pull multicolored weeds, till the land, plant a variety of seeds depending on the season, water plants daily, and eventually harvest produce to sell at the local general store. The bulk of your time is spent managing the farm, which is surprisingly addictive and satisfying. Master nature to put cash in your pocket and food on the table. Though the storyline is quite basic, it's more than sufficient to carry the sedate gameplay that follows. Your control will eventually shift to Kyle's only child, at which point you'll progress the real story as additional gameplay features become available. The game's most interesting aspect is that its plot spans two generations. A young girl named Mana loans you a farm to keep you busy until you recover your memories. You're initially cast as Kyle, a traveler with amnesia who stumbles upon the small town of Alvarna several years after the events in the original.
But those who don't mind waiting should find Rune Factory 2 a calming and pleasant adventure. The game tests your patience, given that you're forced to work boring fetch quests around the in-game clock, not to mention the fact that the crafting system has to be unlocked. Micromanagement is still the primary focus, with farming tasks and monster organization at the forefront, though exploration and a robust crafting system are also prominent. It is used to begin crafting a spell, for mage armor, and to craft colored runes.Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon is a role-playing game much like its predecessor, sharing a simplistic combat system that is traditionally lacking in Harvest Moon games as well as a unique social emphasis that operates as a dating simulator.
