Swimsuit Fun in Rune Factory Oceans (Wii)

Upcoming Marvelous RPG Rune Factory Oceans is set to take simulation further with swimsuit competitions, marriage and babies.

In what sounds like scenarios from a typical TV sitcom, aside from travelling about the world in a giant beast, players will be able to engage in real-life activities according to an in-game seasonal clock. At one point the bikinis will come out, others it'll be time for that fluffy winter coat.

Some of the other activities include befriending monsters in dungeons with a magic brush to help you out in battles, collecting items to merge into new creations for yourself or townsfolk and completing quests outlined in the town's noticeboard.

At one point you may even be able to get married and have virtual offspring. All in a day's work for the male/female hybrid Azel and Sonia!
