Is Natsume going to announce?

Post Posted: May 28, 2012 6:15 pm

So what are all the game options left after all these hints? I'm guessing it's either just Harvest Moon now or Rune Factory which is not bad because i'm fine with either or. I dunno about y'all.

Anyways, if they are planning to announce them both, i'm hoping the date wont be that far away. I dont want to wait a while for these games to come out and find that they are complete failures translation and actual game content wise. I'm also half hoping Natsume wont make the name too awkward... It's actually fine if it's still Land of Beginning....right?

Sorry, didn't see that it was said already. I was on an earlier page or something

Land of Origins isn't a bad name… But I think they are jumping the gun

Wait, guys, how about the whole Rune Factory possibility? It can happen, right? Right? orz... i'm actually probably anticipating rune factory more than Harvest Moon right now.... i'm getting sort of ''iffy'' with the translating job.....

Eh its not without possibility but LoB has been out in Japan for awhile while RF4 isn't out yet and wont be for a little while longer.

I mean it COULD happen but Its a little less likely.

Land of (something that has to do with startings) is a pretty good guess but they are probably jumping the gun... Cannot wait to find out, for all those staying up, may the Harvest Goddess shine on us all! Or may the creatures of the dungeons be our allies in battle always! Really the only thing tearing me up is if it is one, but not te other, or both!!! Why put us through this stress?!?

I don't expect RF4 to come out by the end of this year but like I said in my previous posts, a rights acquirement announcement on RF4 is possible, while LoB gets the release date green light.

How specific the "at least 3 games part" is the big elephant in the room here. HM is Natsume's main product and "at least 3" can connotate into "3 or a tiny bit more". So comparing that one hint to HM...not so sure.

I'm with the theory that it's a surprise dual announcement :: LoB release green light and Natsume getting the rights for RF4.

It's one month from the JP release. Natsume would probably want to get acquiring it's rights out of the way w/o waiting for the next e3 seems plausible, especially how little we have til rf4 is out. and announcing the acquirement to the rights of a game =\= announcing translation status and a release date.

Who knows.

Well that's at the latest.

The tweet only said tonight PST.
So it could be before then.

Natsume might be announcing LoB now and announce the aquistion of RF4 at E3.

Oh no I was explaining how it couldn't be marked off ^^;
I am hopeful :D
Almost feel like there's no doubt

I hope it's before midnight PST I don't think I can stay awake that long ^^;

Well, i'm going to bed guys.

*yawn*

I'm with Bluie. I live somewhere in the East so my time is sped up to about 11:00pm here orz. Tell us all about it

That aside... Now that I think of it, i really think that they will just announce Harvest Moon. I mean, it's the one that makes the most sense. I don't remember what they said they would announce... but if there's a release date involved, i'd like to know first thing in the morning.

And.. pardon my spelling and grammar mistakes...orz i'm not good with typing on touch screens...orz.

I hope they announce another Harvest Moon game. I think some of the names they can call the new title could be...
Harvest Moon: A New Beginning
Harvest Moon: Land of New Beginning

omg

I'm excited I can't wait for them to announce it. I'm not going to give my hopes up.

New hint.

Hint #9: These clues are not "Fish"y. Sorry!

So it's obviously not Reel Fishing or River King. It's definitely LoB.
