Rune Factory or Harvest Moon?

[kittenrobotarmy]

So, many people lately have been talking about how Rune Factory is better than Harvest Moon because you can do more. I want to see how many people actually prefer Rune Factory over Harvest Moon.

I currently prefer Harvest Moon, but I've never seen any walkthrough for Rune Factory yet so I can't really say.

i like rune factory a lot better since it isn't as repetetive as harvest moon and there's much more dialogue and the characters are better. also i love the battle aspect of rf

i dont have harvest moon( was debating between harvest moon and rf4 too) but i got rf4 and i loved it to bits.

idk harvest moon looks fun but rf4 kept me engaged for a few hours !!

I'm actually pending which one to get...

right now im leaning towards rune factory because its graphics look cool X)

rune factory is probably better even though i havent played it.

I picked both. I like Rune Factory because of the graphics, characters and varied gameplay. Then again I've been playing Harvest Moon since I was about 6, so it has a special advantage when it comes to deciding which one I like better (That made no sense at all).

Based on those I played (I played 4 Harvest Moon and 3 Rune Factory), I prefer Rune Factory. It has indeed more things to do. I also prefer the characters and art.

Not played Rune Factory since I'm not really a fan of it's eye-wateringly bland art style.

Harvest Moon has more charm, maaany long days spent playing Harvest Moon: Wonderful Life when I was small - it helped shape my childhood.

all you have to do is customize stuff, planting, do quest, get married and have kids
The difference is you can fight monsters in Rune Factory so yeah.

Rune Factory is easier than Harvest Moon but both of them are fun.

It is your choice.

A few weeks ago I would have said harvest moon. Now after getting addicted to RF4 thanks to a friend, I'm not so sure.

My main reason for playing HM was to farm and take care of my pets. I have always hated having to talk to my villagers. I found them boring and it has been a chore in HM. After I woo and marry someone I usually get bored. It becomes repetitiveness of farm veggies,care for live-stock, talk to the living furniture you married, then talk to boring villagers. Don't get me wrong I do like HM.

I was really unsure of RF until a friend introduced me to it. I like the conversations a lot more in RF then HM. I also like battling and raising my parties levels. Like someone already mentioned less repetitive and better characters.

RIP Rune Factory.

For me, Rune Factory has everything I enjoy: dungeons, crafting and dating. While Harvest Moon is cute and enjoyable, without a combat system I end up getting bored since my character never has kids with her spouse.

Harvest Moon has to win for me if only because they had the option to be a girl for longer. I like trolling for guys in my games...

I voted for Harvest Moon, mainly because I've been a fan since the Nintendo 64 and most of the rest of the series. I've actually been debating to buy either A New Beginning or Rune Factory 4. Probably buying Harvest Moon pretty soon, but I'm sure I'll end up buying both anyways.

RIP no RF4 for Europe

Really? It's a good thing I bought 3DS [US] from Datablitz (somewhere in South East Asia ) still earning money for that game.
