curious...

So, I was talking about Rune Factory 4 with my boyfriend, and how it will more than likely be spring for us next year, because it came out July 19th in Japan.

So, it brought me to think how long in between Harvest Moon LoB release date from Japan to US. Well, I found out it was February 23rd. In the system at work (gamestop), it's street dated October 23rd. I know this is apparently not "set in stone" because Natsume hasn't announced anything official. I just found it a bit curious that it's exactly 8 months after the Japanese release date. So, it makes me wonder... what if Rune Factory 4 is March 19th in US? It's also a Tuesday, and exactly 8 months after the Japanese release date.

What do you guys think?

Generic/realistic response:
The games always get pushed back. But it'd be awesome if it was only an 8 month wait for a localized release!

On another note, if this proves to be true, Natsume must hate me and other school students--because both games would be released riiiiiiight around midterms in the fall and winter semesters.

March is way after midterms for me, so that would be just about perfect! I will be needing something to play, looking on to summer! But it might not happen, cause not all HM/RF games are that way, some have been pushed back to more than 8 months.

Around Feb-April would be my guess

I'm saying October-December. Not ALL Harvest Moon games were pushed back (I believe). Don't kill me if I'm wrong...

I'm putting my money on December for ANB and May for RF4. I just hope since I've already preorder I get my Yak plushie.

The fact that they've already finalized the preorder bonus, combined with the fact that they should just be getting to work on RF4 around now, makes me think ANB will be here sooner rather than later. A Christmas release would make sense.

I still think and want a late October or early November release. But I agree since we definitely have a pre-order bonus, it shouldn't be long now!

I'm honestly sure it's not going to move from october. But, we'll see. If it sticks that way all through next month, then I think we're golden. I'll for sure let you guys know, unless natsume finally says what it's going to be.

i agree with lord banks, an early November would be fabu. mainly because Pokemon is NEVER delayed and that's due in October, i don't think i can do two games in one month lol
