All that's really known is that the game will feature the ability to transform into some of the characters you collect, via the use of a magical belt that you have. This will also unlock numerous new attacks and battle moves. Also, talking to people in animal form will also change the way they respond to you.
In the game you also spend a large time inside a gigantic tree for whatever reason,
EDIT:
Japan can look forward to the game arriving on October 22nd, at the cost of ¥5,229. Those who pre-order will get a drama CD and book. The CD promises a "Doki Doki" love comedy featuring the game's heroines, while the book offers art and illustrations and a comic book telling an original story in the Rune Factory 3 world:
Famitsu Weekly Translation:
The main character may be able to transform into a monster, but that doesn't mean Rune Factory 3 skips out on the series' familiar monster-raising component. As with past titles, you can feed monsters in order to earn their favor, eventually making them into friends. A friend monster can be taken back to your farm, where, upon further care, will serve as a source for eggs and fur.
New to part 3 is the Active Seed system. Active Seeds grow immediately into full form once planted. Unlike normal plants, they can help you in a variety of ways.
Famitsu shared details on three Active Seeds. The pumpkin-like Jack can be used to suck up monsters, dealing them damage. The leaf-like Haslider can be used as a floatation device for crossing bodies of water. The flower-like Mizubasou can be used to generate water. This is useful when farming in dungeons away from water sources .
Also introduced in the magazine are two additional heroines. Here's the full cast that's been revealed so far, including the two that were introduced at the game's announcement:
Shia
A kind girl who took care of you when you were unconscious at the beginning of the game. It's because of her recommendation that you started farming.
Touna
A silent girl who works at the city's weapons shop. Why she avoids relating with people is apparently a secret.
Chocola
A girl who dreams of being a chef like her father and now works at a restaurant in town. Despite her tiny size, she has a huge appetite.
Marion
An apprentice witch who also serves as a nurse in town. She dreams of being either a fine doctor or a sorceress like her grandmother. She's childhood friends with Chocola, whom she used as a guinea pig for conducting tests for her magic cures
