Last night I popped in my copy of Rune Factory Frontier.  It's been one of my favorite games released this year.  Lots of good solid gameplay, compelling story, good cast, and a well done fantasy setting. My only issue with it is that its too freaking long, which is almost a trademark of the series.  They normally clock into the 60 - 80 hour range, and can go even longer if you choose.  

I ended up putting the game away around 45 hours into it.  I just needed to move on and play something new and I never got back to it.  So here we are 7 months later and I'm finally picking it up again... and I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do.  I don't remember the controls well enough.  I don't know what people's favorite gifts are. I don't know the dungeon layouts anymore.  I'm not sure what's up storywise. I don't even remember what crops I'm growing anymore.  

So now I'm faced with a choice.  Do I want to start up fresh or try and struggle and figure out what the hell is what.  With so much stuff in this game I have a feeling that may be fruitless.  Ironic that of all games like this, only Pokemon offers a good refresher of what you last did storywise in the game.
