@yuukiw: actually rune factory and harvest moon have a lot to do with each other since both are made from the original creator and i was pointing out that harvest moon is not story of seasons while previous harvest moon games are part of story of seasons

@iandizion713: yeah after neverland closed down the team split so harvest moon is now story of seasons while the newest harvest moon games have no affiliation to the 'harvest moon' series. They did a 10 year anniversary with rune factory costumes and such but it's only been released in japan so far. I wouldn't reccomend the other harvest moon series. The first two games have the same exact setting just different bachelors and bachelorettes. Story of seasons is the go to game if you want farming. But rune factory series is the best. I loved stardew valley it just got boring after awhile while rf4 can keep your attention for years really

RF4 came out in 2012 in Japan. There have been teasers for an RF5 but nothing concrete. With the recent switch coming out RF fans are going wild since harvest moon games will be on switch so it is a possibility RF5 will too. Unfortunately there have been no news recently by actual creator. So these are just speculations. Also the rune factory series hadn't been selling until RF4 came out to be the best selling in the series. I loved all the ds rune factories except the first one personally which kind of seemed dead but RF2 was my favorite. It had two parts to it so you could play for awhile. Hopefully more news will come out but we just need to be patient
