I'm going to hijack this topic briefly:
I love the Harvest Moon series, and Rune Factory as been a game I've really wanted to try. I've just never been all that into handheld gaming. I have a DS, but I haven't played it in quite a long while. Rune Factory 3 is only twenty bucks, and I'd be more than willing to spend that to get the game. However, I have a bum shoulder button on my DS (right bumper, I think, and the other one might be going too). How reliant is RF3 on shoulder buttons? Also, is RF3 the best in the series?
To answer your question, it seems like Raven is the one you are most drawn towards, so go for it.
