Marvelous AQL creates Harvest Moon games, so they usually have Natsume localize it. This time, however, the company wanted to have XSEED games -a part of their company- to localize their game. BUT. Natsume has ownership over the title "Harvest Moon" in the US, so this harvest moon game had to change its name to "Story of Seasons." And the other harvest moon game, "Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley" is something created by Natsume itself...not a true harvest moon game in my opinion despite having the name.
For Rune Factory...you should know its fate. With Neverland bankrupt.............I doubt...gods forbid,but I must say the truth!...there will be another Rune Factory game. Though the Rune Factory developers have worked on another game. I believe its called "Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven." Though from what I see, it lacks the luster of Rune Factory 4, since it has regressed back to the time of having ONLY a male protagonist -even the name screams this. Though if you want to play it, the game should be localized some time this year.
