Marvelous Announces Rune Factory 3

I hope you aren't getting tired of farming, because Marvelous certainly isn't, and to prove it are bringing their farming/action-RPG series Rune Factory back for its 3rd DS installment, conveniently named Rune Factory 3.

RF3 follows Myce (JP="Maisu"), a young man who moves into the town of Cialense where he will no doubt hang out at town festivals, date local girls, unravel a plot to destroy the world, and (of course) tend to a farm. Life can get pretty busy, right?

What sets Myce apart from other farming/RPG heroes (other than his hairband) is the fact that he can change into a strange sheep-looking monster called a Golden Moco-Moco. At last! Just the twist I was hoping for in Rune Factory!

Additionally, the first two marriageable girls have been revealed to be Shia, the pretty default girl, and Tuna, the cold weapons shop elf girl.

Check out the scans below for more farming/saving the world action!



Rune Factory 3 is scheduled to be released for Nintendo DS sometime this year in Japan.

Scans open for translation requests in the comments below.

Wow... That's supposed to be a guy?

Apparently, yes.

It would help if he turned into an animal slightly more masculine than a sheep, but that's just my opinion.
