Btw, they also were the ones who have been working on Lufia and Shining Force.

So ya. I loved the RF series and have been playing it since the first game. It was a nice alternative to the Harvest Moon norm.
I'm still playing through 2 and 3 before getting 4.

And this all make me wonder: who gets to develop the games for these IP from here on out? Will they be able to capture the same
magic as the previous titles? Or will they become something nobody will care for because it isn't "popular"?

That's too bad. I would have loved to play Rune Factory on my vita (I remember controls being pretty shit in DS).
