If you've been following, as I have, the progress of forthcoming RPG Rune Factory 2, you might have noticed that the official website (Japanese only I'm afraid) has come up with a nice new trailer for the title. Last week I took a look at Rune Factory 1, which is just about to hit American shores, and looks pretty awesome.




The sequel is more of the same, with the harvest moon universe translated to a fantasy setting. Since I last checked it out there are also some nice character graphics, in-game screenshots of both cut scenes and hardcore farming action, and some of the monsters you'll meet on your fantasy and farming adventures. Beware the terrifying "Moko Moko", which looks like a deformed, cute sheep.
