Only by exploring this new world will they be able to solve the mystery of this curse and save their beloved island. During the course of their journey, Aden and Sonja will be aided by a colorful cast of characters, as well as take command of a towering golem, Ymir. Using their newfound giant friend, they'll cross vast seas, discover hidden islands and dungeons packed with riches, and battle fearsome monsters of the deep!

YES! i loved Frontier, i just may have to sell animal parade to get this one.
I just hope they dropped the Runey system from Frontier, or at least gave it a major overhaul. If not for being forced to nearly constantly babysit those little buggers, R.F. Frontier would be my favorite Wii game.
Haha in your face Europe!........
I was about to say the exacty same thing Number_6. I enjoyed rune factory frontier up until the point I realised sucess in the game wasn't about the farming or about the rpging. It was about balancing those horrible beasts called runeys and was no fun at all.
Yeah, it wasn't until I accidentally created a "grass factory" that I was able to keeps the runeys in check without spending massive amounts of time doing it.
But it was (is) a really fun game, that I spent about 150 hours on. I prefer it than harvest moon. Looking forward to this one.
I will be buying this when it comes to the US (and will be buying xenoblade if it ever comes here) but... I have way too many RPG games to play at once. Oh Well, a few more can't hurt.
I'm gonna pass. I have played way too much Harvest Moon. I can't play this kind of game anymore, it is too tedious.
I'm glad that this game is finally coming out. I've been really looking forward to it. I will probably pick it up on the PS3 though.
OMG YES!
Yes! I'm actually surprised we're getting it so soon. I expected fall 2012 at least!
I'm getting it!
what is the WiiT?
One console before WiiU or a typo?
We can trade this for any of the 3 Wii RPGs that we've been asking for?
