Introducing the Harvest Moon: Kimi to Sodatsu Shima characters

Despite all the push for space travel, sub-atomic fusion, and – err – cool but otherwise unnecessary gadgets, mankind still has a calling that brings them back to the rural lifestyle. Hence, Marvelous Interactive is making sure that this calling is answered by their Harvest Moon franchise, the latest installment of which is Harvest Moon: Kimi to Sodatsu Shima (loosely translated as Harvest Moon: The Island I Develop with You).

Now, while the screens and info are steadily harvesting up into the QJ barnyards, today we’re dishing out a sneak peek into some of the characters you’d be bumping into during the farm-sim game. From the pictures above, here are the four characters (clockwise from the top-left):

First there’s Goran the carpenter and Eriza the daughter of Goran. There’s also Vuarustu the animal merchant and Riri the “love interest”. We do have to stress though that these names are based on the Google translation from Famitsu‘s Japanese into our Engrish. Hence, the letters “R” and “L” could be interchanged.

If there’s one thing that Harvest Moon is known for, aside from the farming aspect of the game, is its cast of characters. From these screens and info, it seems as if this game has a solid backbone for some good inter-character development. The game comes out in Japan this December, and hopefully by then, we get more info on this game.
