Marvelous AQL

With Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson’s website opening, we now have the game’s story prologue available. You can find it below, courtesy of Siliconera’s translation.

Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land is off to a great start for Marvelous AQL. Media Create data reveals that the game sold 130,782 units in its first week in Japan, making it the biggest opening for a Harvest Moon title in recent years.

Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land did better than its predecessor, Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, which sold 81,131 copies in its first week. Siliconera points out that Harvest Moon as well as Rune Factory have been growing since moving to 3DS.

Veterinary physician Nobuyuki Kanemaki from Azabu University consulted the ad above, created to promote the release of Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land. Six Go-Pro cameras in total were used to pull off the full 360 degree view.

And we should probably point out this warning included just before the promo:

Marvelous AQL has shared another round of new details and screenshots Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land. This time around, we learn about five of the game’s Harvest Sprites:

Mora:

– Easy-going
– A glutton; loves to eat and can often be seen with food in his mouth
– Often gets scolded by the other Harvest Sprite, Beth, when he steals a bite while she’s cooking

Cust:

– Lives by the elements of hot-blooded, effort, and guts
– Cust always gives it everything he’s got
– Very serious when it comes to not cutting corners

Torque:

– Always calm, composed, and is considered the smartest of the Harvest Sprites
– Knows a lot about everything thanks to studies to rumors about other people
– They even say that he’s so well-informed, that there’s nothing he doesn’t know about the neighborhood
– Unlike Cust, Torque doesn’t seem to have the physical capabilities to accomplish certain work

Flat:

– Honest, kind, and curious
– Takes good care of those around him
– Leader-type who likes going around looking for new buddies
– Likes rare things
– In charge of cleaning a certain spring

Beth:

– Gentle, relaxed, and ladylike
– Can be a bit of a klutz at times

Forbidden Magna producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto left a message for fans on the game’s new website.

According to Hashimoto, the game came about after development on Rune Factory 4 was completed. He and other people around him shared a desire to create something new. “And that’s how the new challenge of Forbidden Magna came to be,” he said.

You can find Hashimoto’s full message below.

XSEED will be watching Forbidden Magna. The studio does appear to be interested in the recent-revealed 3DS title, as it told a pair of fans that it “looks great”.

The comments in full:

We just learned about it ourselves, but agree that it looks great. We can’t wait to get our hands on it and check it out ourselves eventually.

Yep, completely agree that Forbidden Magna is looking great. We’ll be keeping our eyes on it.

XSEED does have a pretty good relationship with Marvelous AQL. They’ve localized Rune Factory 4 and Senran Kagura Burst, for instance. It wouldn’t be too surprising if XSEED eventually picked up Forbidden Magna for the states as well.
