Rune Factory 2

Well, since I've left this thing blank for the longest time and I just started school yesterday...I'll talk about Rune Factory 2. Rune Factory 3's nice and all, and Rune Factory is cool too; Rune Factory Frontier is a neat little upgrade to the first game, and Rune Factory Oceans and Rune Factory 4 look real cool, and I can't wait to play them. However nice these new ones are, however, my favourite one is always the second game, Rune Factory 2. It's what brought me to the franchise. So I'm gonna make this list of the main bachlorettes and future husbands and what I think of them. I'm writing about the characters ONLY, because the rest is just basically controls, areas, items, the townspeople and monsters, like the rest of the Rune Factory series. This list will NOT include the Generation 2 characters, but I may mention them.

Main Player Character: Kyle

Kyle...he's an ok player character. Not quite as hero-centered as Raguna (he doesn't really do anything except farm and hit on the girls) , but not as girly-looking as Micah, so he's a balance between the two characters before and after him. Overall, he doesn't do much, his kids do more work monster-wise, but he's a good-looking guy and he's pretty friendly to the townspeople, so he's an ok player character.
Mana

Mana is...so-so. She's cute, and her voice actresses are great, but the way Natsume made her as a ditzy girl, so I'm confused as to why she's a teacher in the second generation, but I digress. She's nice, and a cute girl, but she's not much of a Rune Factory bachelorette.

Cecilia

It's nice to see Ceci return from her role in Rune Factory 1, but like Mana, as much as I like her design and voice actresses, she's not the best of the bachelorettes, and she's so-so. Not much to say except...Ceci is still adorable.

Alicia

Alicia is SO F- ok. Let me calm down. Now, Alicia is my LEAST favourite of the girls. She's just...annoying, plus her outfit is just so fanservice! To top it off, her voice actresses are so different! Her Japanese VA makes her sound cute and innocent, but her English one goes better with her design; she sounds so much older than the others. She's not a very good bachelorette.

Yue

Yue is probably my second favourite bachelorette in the game. She's cute, her voices are great, she's memorable, and plus, she comes back in Rune Factory 3~ I shouldn't even HAVE to explain why; everyone who's played Rune Factory 2 should know just how lovable she is. The only thing I can say is that if you haven't seen gameplay of Yue's events and dialogue on youtube or played the game, you have to see them to understand.

Dorothy

NYAWWW. That is all I can say about her. She's just...so...CUTE! She's really shy and blushes alot. When you first meet her, the first thing she says is "M-my name is...G-goobye!" and she tries to leave. She's so cute. She's my third favourite bachellorette of the bachellorettes. Eventually you teach her to stop being so shy, if you make your character go for her.

Julia

I always make my character marry Julia when I play Rune Factory 2 again. She's a tsundere. If you don't know what a tsundere is, this is the explaination of both types; a DereDere someone who is usually nice and friendly, but acts angry and hate-filled towards those that they love. A TsunTsun is the opposite, usually angry but nice to the ones they love. Julia is a DereDere type, usually nice but angry towards anyone she loves. That's why she's my favourite, she's so Tsundere. I have a soft spot for Tsunderes.

Rosalind de Sainte-Coquille

Rosalind is nice. I like her. She's ok compaired to most of the other bachellorettes. Not much else to say.

Jake

Meh, this guy is ok. Of all the elven men in Rune Factory, he's probably my favourite, but MAN, he can get annoying. He keeps hating your character because he's human, even though he's a half-elf, and his english voice...URGH. Anyone who's played it knows how ANNOYING his nasally little voice is. Overall, he's ok, but he gets annoying.

Barrett

For some reason, Barrett seems to be one of the more favoured of the Rune Factory 2 men in the female part of the fanbase. I dunno, does he look nice? Well, he's a tsundere. Usually, I like Tsunderes, but Barrett is just SO Tsundere, it gets annoying, atleast to me. He's a TsunTsun type, which aren't really my favourite.

Max de Sainte-Coquille

At first, I hated this guy. The thought of a rich guy in anime is always really annoying to me. I never imagined I'd like this character, let alone love, but of all the guys in Rune Factory 2, he's my favourite. I just love him. He's so wierd and awesome~ Of the de Saite-Coquille family, he's my favourite, too. His sister Rosalind is kind and all, and it's nice that she's single for your player character, but I wish you could play as a girl in Rune Factory 2. This is the character that made me wish I could play as a girl. He's incredibly nice and loves his sister alot, which I just love. Plus an item he likes is really easy to get. XDD By the way, am I the only one who thinks Leonel should have been Max's son, or atleast looks like it? I mean, look.

Ok. Do you not see it? If you don't, tell me WHY?! PLEASE?! /smacks self/ I love Leonel & Max, they're just too awesome.



Ray

This guy was meant to be a girl. It shows. He's a very bland character. That's all I can really say.
Well...that's all I'm gonna talk about right now. I might edit this later.
