Beyond the core components that derive gameplay there is a wide variety of side tasks that the player can undertake. The game continues after the marriage with the players wife living in the house. One of the most significant aspects of Rune Factory is the ability for the player to marry one of the female characters after achieving a very high "heart" and "friend" ranking (and sometimes the use of a special item). Lumber and ore on the other hand come from the use of the axe or hammer tool on tree stumps or mineral deposits in the game. The primary source of gold in game comes from the farming portion of the game. All items in game require gold for purchase while construction of new buildings or equipment utilizes lumber and ore (of varying sorts). The primary resources utilized in the game are monetary (gold), lumber, and ore. Gameplay in Rune Factory is quite varied but generally revolves around the collection of resources for further character development. Both health and rune points are replenished by either consuming certain items, collecting runes, or taking a bath at the bath house, or retiring for the night. Spells cannot be case when RP are depleted. When RP are depleted the player then loses HP when the action button is used. Practically every use of the action button in the game expends RP (hoeing, watering, combat, spell casting, etc.). The player has two status bars a health bar (red) and a rune point (RP) bar (blue).

#RUNE FACTORY 2 A FANTASY HARVEST MOON SERIES#
The game contains the typical farming components present in the Harvest Moon series with the addition of RPG elements. Visually the game is reminiscent of other Harvest Moon titles, though the presence of combat in the Rune Factory series brings comparisons to the Zelda series on the SNES. Gameplay Rune Factory 2 : A Fantasy Harvest moon takes place in a real-time world where each day is comprised of 24 minutes and there are six days a week. The exchange of course is that you'll be buying supplies from them as they own the local store. Mana and her over excessively protective father, Douglas, offer you the oppourtunity to live and work farmland they own that has been out of use. This time the character, Kyle (default), runs into a young lady by the name of Mana. As with the previous title, the story begins with your character wandering memory-less into a strange town. The story takes place after the events of the first game but story arc links are very limited. StoryRune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon shares many story elements of it's predecessor, Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon.
