Natsume has announced that Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon for the Nintendo DS has officially gone
gold and will be available November 18th.
Rune Factory 2 is set several years after the first game, where the evil
Sechs Empire has been defeated, and the Kingdom of Norad is once again
at peace. Things may not stay that way for long, however, as strange
disturbances in the earth warn that a great evil is stirring. It's up
to player to uncover this new threat to the land and bring peace to
the kingdom once more.
In a first for the Rune Factory series, the story of Rune Factory 2 is
multigenerational. Players begin the game as Kyle, a strange man who
comes to Alvarna Village. Eventually, players will take on the role of
Kyle's child, opening up a whole new adventure. It's an innovative
feature that allows players to follow the story of their family and
the townsfolk over two generations.
