Where is everyone getting that information? I said it one time beacause someone else had also said they came from a different world, was it in one of the magazine scans(sucks at japanese)? I kind of hope they aren't from a different world...That means no reoccuring characters(that's right, I brought it up again)! I saw something on the japanese site about a different world but I think they meant that the two characters are experiencing a whole new world, being in each others bodies and all. Experiencing something other worldly as some might put it.

His pose and expression in that screenshot suggests a typical boyish personality.

My summary of important points:
-Azel and Sonia are somehow transmitted into a parallel world by an accident;
-In this world, they have to share a body;
-(Not in Famitsu.com, based on other reports of the magazine article) when Azel gets too close to other girls, Sonia will feel jealous, and vice versa.

There are some huge implications... I'll just point out one thing: Rune Factory's old plot device of keeping the protagonist and the player on even footing is to make the protagonist an amnesia, essentially a blank state. Now they are using the OTHER time-honored plot device, sending Azel and Sonia to a parallel world. I suppose this way they don't have to be amnesia, and can have a more fleshed out personality.

男女ふたりの主人公でプレイできる

　アゼルとソニアは異世界に飛ばされた際、ひとつの体にふたつの意識を持った状態になる。外見はアゼルだが、その体にはソニアの意識も入っており、男女両方の視点で冒険が楽しめる。もちろん恋愛、結婚といった要素もあり。

(Outward) Appearance-wise, the body looks like Azel's, but since Sonia's consciousness resides in the same body, the game (lit: adventure) can be enjoyed from both male and female points of view. Of course, romance, marriage and similar elements are also present.

I think it's "so-n-ya" (same as "sewn-ya"). Well, to be more accurate, according to naming websites, it's said like "SOHN-yah".

Of course, the RFs have been at different times, technically, and still had reoccurring characters. I don't think the times can be THAT different, because the clothing and building style looks the same; if it is some significant time into the future, I'd think society would of shown more obvious signs of advancement.
