While Rune Factory: Frontier required too much farm management, this one over-corrects by now having most of the farming done automatically by monsters. There's still not much dialogue and not many dungeons however, so all this extra free time just makes it clear how little else there is to do.

If you want to micro-manage you farm to get crops that grow incredibly quickly then this is the game for you. If you just want to do the basic farming required in the rest of the series in order to focus on the dungeons on characters then this is not the game for you. I beat the game but stopped playing it as soon as I beat the story and got married because the amount of work just to farm was too much for me to continue.
