Rune Factory Pt. 4

In Rune Factory 2, after you take control of Kyle's child, the game takes on a new plotline.

With Kyle, your main goals were to get married and build a school, with side goals involving befriending other villagers plus monsters and planting a bunch of crops everywhere. (I still think it's really wrong for our amnesiac to be getting married; who's to say someone isn't waiting for him in his past...?)

With Kyle's kid, your main goal is to find Kyle again, or at least find out why he left. Side plots include going to school (which is optional, but I recommend it, unless you go online for all the recipes Mana will otherwise teach you), expanding the school, befriending all the villagers, and perhaps finding a few love interests among your classmates.

As a child, you can have multiple love interests and actually go through a marriage ceremony with all of them. After all, they're only about seven, so the ceremony is just a mock wedding.

Like I mentioned earlier, your child can expand the school Kyle built. When you do, you'll have a way to make your own food and weapons and medicine, you'll also be able to access many more magic books, and you'll also be able to fight monsters in a controlled and adult-approved environment.

Very few of the adults know that your child ventures into the monster-infested areas. All the kids eventually know, but they keep it secret for you because the adults would be upset if they knew.

Hmm, this post feels poorly organized. o_O' Sorry about that. But it's a great game, and I have great fun playing as Aria, Kyle's daughter's default name. (I played once as his son too, but I forget what the default name for him is.)
