The website for the fantasy-farming sequel*, Rune Factory 2, has been updated with new character art and, most importantly, a new trailer. Marvelous is throwing everything they can at the audience, pulling out the full bag of Japanese trailer tricks: anime intros, soaring J-pop background music, and, on occasion, footage of the game.While the trailer smartly focuses on aspects of the game that play well in trailers, like romance and fighting, you can also see plenty of the farming action that Harvest Moon series fans care for. If you look over at the monsters page, you can check out some of the creatures that your hero Kyle can capture and tame, many of which look suspiciously similar to livestock. Or Gollum. All of these creatures can be found in the previous Rune Factory, with the exception of the "Orc Viking," who is not nearly as cute as the Woolly seen here. Also be sure to hit the system page for new screens.
*That is, a farming game in a fantasy sequel. You don't actually grow fantasies.

The hiccup was due to comments being upgraded! Like Joystiq, you can now moderate, report or reply to comments and of course you've got avatars.

This new commenting system is being rolled out across the network, so rest assured, Wii Fanboy will have them soon.

But but ... Well we do have numbers unlike Joystiq's but the avatar is small in all posts. Also it's not the heart system like Joystiq. And other comments that are nagging.
I'm not sure I like Harvest Moon although putting a dungeon hacker is OK with me.

Why do the characters in these games look ten years old? Considering the whole 'love finding' component, it's a bit weird.
