Players of Rune Factory 2 will be familiar with the Request System but its operation is slightly different in Rune Factory 3. War Trophies taken from defeated Monsters are essential ingredients in creating Weapons, Equipment and Accessories. Your Character will be able to forge his own Weapons and Accessories, upgrading them by using higher levels of ingredients. One goal when farming is to obtain higher levels of Crop Seeds in order to grow better Crops. As in other Rune Factory games, items have more than one Level. Essentially, all Rune Factory games are based on farming and combat together as a means by which ingredients can be obtained to create items in many different categories: Medicines, Cooked Dishes, Weapons, Equipment and Accessories. Requests given by other Characters can result simply in a material Reward or can advance either Romance or the Main Story. As with any Rune Factory game, there is a strong plot that will unfold as your Character attains higher levels of success, unlocks new areas and achieves close relationships with every member of the community.
It has much in common both with Rune Factory 1 and Rune Factory 2 but will delight fans of the series with surprising new aspects that have been added to the game. Rune Factory 3 is the third Rune Factory game made for the DS platform. In fact, it quickly developed into a series that, while sharing the fundamental philosophy of life with Harvest Moon, was unique. Some reviewers of the game referred to it as 'Harvest Moon with a sword'. Rune Factory, at its inception, was part of the Harvest Moon series and in fact had 'A Fantasy Harvest Moon' appended to the title.
