That logo design is on point. The outline of the planet, and the quietus comet meet and become the cross line of the A. Give whoever designed that a raise.

[@charlesearle2055]

Not to mention the double entendre as, in addition to what you said, it also looks kinda like a couple of wheat stalks :)

[@cbalan777]

@@charlesearle2055 Exactly. It's so well designed on so many levels. Chef's Kiss ...but, uh, for an artist.

C.B.!?!??! WHAT THIS IS PHOENIXASTRA OML I didn't expect to see you on the first comment hello!!! What a coincidence ahaha I'm excited for this, hope it's more promising then the recent rune factory 5

[@cbalan777]

@@phoenixastra4429 Hey Phoenix. I told you I post in a lot of different places! Hope you're doing okay friend.

[@tassogasparini5631]

Thanks for clarifying that. I thought that it was the drawing of a feather 😂

[@The-Secret-Dragon]

Looks like Rune Factory with a bigger budget. I REALLY hope this one does well. Can't wait!

[@Halfbad-bf1lt]

Glad I’m not the only one thinking that; it’s like Rune Factory with the signature Square Enix aesthetic. Given how solid the core gameplay concept of Rune Factory is I’m looking forward to this

[@hiddenflare6169]

Just give it a dating sim vibe where you can have a child and it is just like it, being the fantasy Harvest Moon. Rune Factory will need to step up it's game if they want to keep it up!

[@gridmeter2571]

Rune Factory 5 left me with a very bad taste in my mouth, so I'm open to any contestants because it was a disgrace to the other previous games

[@Halfbad-bf1lt]

@@hiddenflare6169 Rune Factory games have fairly simple core gameplay; which this seems to be nailing. Square Enix are usually great at making great stories, whereas Rune Factory always has relatively simplistic stories. Combined with the fact this is probably going to have a amazing sound track and be visually gorgeous; I think it’s going to pose real competition for Rune Factory

[@Halfbad-bf1lt]

@@gridmeter2571 yeah I feel like RF 5 fell short, it’s late game letting it down the most. I spent a lot of time playing it and thinking “RF 4 was better”. I feel like that areas RF5 fell short, like story, are areas where Square Enix IP’s excel though, so o have high hopes for this one

[@TheCommentaification]

As someone who played Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, Rune Factory, and a big fan of Square Enix. This will be an instant buy for me.

[@andrewly8735]

It's like an amalgamation of all those IPs that's designed to specifically target that specific audience and thank God I'm also one of those people!

[@fitota]

Exactly ❤️❤️❤️

[@djaafardjaafar7381]

Honestly out of farming game this one look the highest in quality

[@Bailey_West]

The two things that farming/life sims struggle with is Combat and story. So if this game can deliver: ✅ classic square storytelling ✅ engaging combat ✅ Nail the HM/Story of Seasons life sim aspects This might become the best farming/life sim ever

[@pabben03]

Add in sprinkles of Stardew stuff and we're golden

[@Bailey_West]

@@pabben03 absolutely! I didn’t mention Stardew because that is such a high bar to compare it to. But still relevant because combat wasn’t that thrilling, but was carried by S tier farming and social sim

[@mattwo7]

Even Rune Factory, Marvelous' RPG spinoff of Story of Seasons? (I guess Natsume didn't want _that_ trademark)

[@hectord3013]

@@Bailey_West lol stop overrated that 16 bits game

This is obviously a much bigger budget project, so I'm not too miffed.

[@schleepy6362]

*w o w* this comment is savage🤣

[@Crystalwolf953]

Really interested to see how the season of death plays into the story, and how the monster fighting feeds into the farming mechanics. Looks really interesting.

[@AimeeAC18]

The season of death almost reminds me of Breath of the wild when you're off in a beautiful world and then all of a sudden a blood moon hits

[@Halfbad-bf1lt]

Kind of like a Rune Factory game with a Square Enix spin, worth keeping an eye on

[@TylersGamingHub]

Agreed.

[@RootVegetabIe]

Maybe closer to Rune Factory than Harvest Moon :)

[@strohhuttv8848]

@@RootVegetabIe I never played Rune Factory 😅 but I always wanted to and I will (one day). I played Harvest Moon so for me this is the closest example I can think of... It looks good!

[@lucasprestes]

@@strohhuttv8848 yeah, RF is basically what they announced, a mix between farming and dungeon exploration, with a side romance with one of the villagers. The exception is here the budget seems bigger and the OST really blows away with epicness

[@strohhuttv8848]

@@lucasprestes Yeah, looks promising! I hope it turns out well.

[@armintargaryen9216]

Rune Factory 4 Special for Switch is highly recommended if you like farming sims and JRPGs. It's about 20€ and you can get hundreds of hours of gameplay

[@TheRealDreyne]

Most hyped game for me. I’m getting Crystal Chronicles, Harvest Moon,and Bravely Default vibes. Can’t wait to try this

[@LilyBreeze64]

I had those exact vibes! Thank you for putting it into words.

[@namename.3.]

The game looks super good so far! I’m hoping that there is more life sim aspects in the game, like the town feeling like a community with a bunch of characters to bond with. One of my favorite parts of farming sims is the community and relationship building aspect. For example, Rune Factory 4 was full of lovable characters. It drove me to learn all the recipes and make lots of money in order to bring them their favorite gifts. Talking to everyone everyday was such a joy. The story was much more engaging, as I cared about the characters so the stakes were higher. I spent lots of time grinding and forging the best weapons not only for me but for my family. It’s such a huge part of the appeal of farming sims, and I hope it’s in this game too. I hope there are community events like festivals and quests. I’m also hoping there is romance, as that is always very fun.

[@asqua5777]

j ai les meme attente, de la romance on en a tellement besoin pour trouver un peu de réconfort le soir dans cette jungle hostile qu ai notre société actuel.

[@pinktobio]

this! i also hope there's some character customization options since i would love to get different outfits and look cute while doing my silly farming tasks and chatting up the villagers :) the art direction and portraits are super beautiful too! give me those fat chickens!!

[@marie_catoinette]

I've actually held off of RF5 after seeing some performance issues and this announcement was a HUGE surprise. Super excited to see Squeenix tackling this genre!!

[@Aurumfae]

You dodged a bullet. RF5 looks and performs like garbage. I wish I had never bought it-total waste of money I’ll never get back.

[@MusashiDamacy]

I actually liked RF5, but it's whatever. Aside from frame drops, I didn't really find anything wrong with it as a game.

[@EmeraldzTV]

@@Aurumfae should've waited for a PC port lmfaoooo

[@sarahhierl7114]

I enjoyed RF5 for a short time, but there were some design aspects that were super questionable to me (like the annoying music and confetti flying all day on festival days). Overall it felt super rushed to me. This game looks like it has more care so I will be interested in giving it a try!

[@evancoffland19]

Quietus, the season that helps you deal with your tinnitus.

[@fatimagochi1184]

As a SoS/RF fan, I just hope this one also has relationships with villagers...

[@juliannocartagena2007]

I can’t believe that Square Enix made a Rune Factory clone. Edit: OH MY GAAAAHHH! These likes in my comment are really big!

[@ZoraVisions]

I thought I was the only one who thought about that. There story will be more fleshed out though

[@imadekhrisnaoctario4659]

this is looks cool, i hope they also take the simulation like marvelous did like townfolk event, town event, town festival, bachelor and bachelorette event etc so the game doesnt ended up like "your average rpg game with 40-80 hours clear". but as far as i can see in the trailer it seem there is no married system :(((

Square Enix recognising that Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons and Rune Factory have slipped up and want to gain a share of the market.

[@MrSupersmash93]

Rune factory 5 was good

[@Halfbad-bf1lt]

Fair enough to Square Enix; ever since the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons split I feel like both franchise have been lacking a bit. Rune Factory is consistently solid; but I am in love with the idea of a core gameplay of RF with the signature style and aesthetic of Square Enix

@@TylersGamingHub it is square enix so I imagine there will be some significant story bits so maybe predetermined

@@TylersGamingHub you can choose gender but the two protagonist are so gender fluid you won't recognize that the two are of different gender without looking at their official arts. Check their game website if you're curious, the only 'interest' character they don't post is Heine.
