User blog comment:Themonthapril/Picking a new game- ANB vs. SoS/@comment-7934205-20150318044203

Hello there! Welcome to the wikia!

Now, as for your dillema, while I adored ANB, I would say you should get SoS! It's true that SoS has many features that ANB does not have so you might not enjoy the latter after playing the newer one. It's a risk worth taking, though! XSEED's done a wonderful job with translating Rune Factory 4 and they are certain to do a wonderful job with SoS as well. They'll be keeping in things that Natsume wouldn't keep in and they actually listened to the fans when they wanted something changed (I remember them wanted to change G to cents and everyone on tumblr saying it would be better to keep it the way it was and the developers did just that!)

Plus, with all the new animals, pets, and things to do, SoS is your best bet. You can always pick up ANB at a later date and possibly for even cheaper. I hope you make a decision and have fun with whichever one you pick. :D
