Zynga Japan released its flagship social game “FarmVille” in Japan under the name “\u30d5\u30a1\u30fc\u30e0\u30d3\u30ec\u30c3\u30b8(FarmVillage)” on December 1. Why is it Village not Ville? According to Zynga Japan general manager Shintaro Yamada’s tweet<\/a> [J], “Because the pronunciation of FarmVille<\/strong> and Biru<\/strong>(Building in Japanese, from English) are the same in Japanese and will confuse people”.
\nSoftBank financed Zynga Japan. And the FarmVillage was released on SNS “Mixi” of the biggest in Japan.

\nThe design of farm products are also original. And the duck wears the business suit.

\nIt’s necessary to manage energy. So it rather resembles FrontierVille and CityVille.

\nThe duck wears schoolgirl’s uniform!
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nThe area of the farm will broaden when you raise the level.
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nOf course, the present for friends function got implemented, too.
