[edit] Information

Originally, the game was announced during an interview between Cubed3 and Yasuhiro Wada, the creator of Harvest Moon, back in June 6, 2007. A whole year later, the game was fully revealed on June 4, 2008 in the Japanese magazine Famitsu. Effort has been made to upgrade absolutely every part of the game compared to the previous games in the series.

According to the storylines in Rune Factory and Rune Factory 2, Frontier may take place after Rune Factory, as Raguna and Mist return from the original game, as a screenshot shows both characters interacting with each other in a village, and Raguna met Mist at the beginning of the original game. In Frontier he is on a search to find a missing girl.

Frontier takes place on the island of Tranrupia.

A floating island in the shape of a whale appears at some point during the game.

You're able to grow a farm more similar to the regular Harvest Moon games than in the previous Rune Factory games.

In a process comparable to Nintendo's Animal Crossing series, the better you take care of your land, the more your land becomes a real village, more people move in, more shops open, etc.[1][2][3]
