Game studio Natsume has just released new videos for Rune Factory 2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon, including two intro movies and gameplay footage.  The Rune Factory series is a combinations of elements from the Harvest Moon universe and aspects of traditional fantasy RPG, and the sequel is scheduled to arrive this fall for the Nintendo DS.

Rune Factory 2 takes place several years after the first game, following the defeat of the evil Sechs Empire.  I'm not the only one who that sounds awkward, right?  Anyway, the Kingdom of Norad is in peril once again, and the player must take on the role of Kyle to save the day.  Later on in the game, players will be able to follow the adventures of Kyle's children, continuing a storyline that spans over two generations of unbearable cuteness.

True to Harvest Moon tradition, players will build and develop a farm while befriending townspeople, raising monsters, doing quests and seeking a wife (I think it has to be a woman).

Just watch that man in action!  Kyle is a real go-getter and lady killer.

In addition to all the trailers, Natsume has also unveiled screenshots and concept art depicting Rune Factory 2 gameplay and cast of characters.  Here are some choice screens handpicked for your enjoyment.
