omg harvest moon ds................ i only ever played cute so i never experienced this myself but i heard hmds regular was like, SUPER SUPER buggy. is that true. do you remember at all.
I wish I was more into the series so I could recommend some games to you! Unfortunately I am very late on the HM hype-train. ToTT is the ONLY game I’ve played so far! I wanna look into playing Island of Happiness next, or any of the games on any console for that matter! I just need to look into emulating more of them xD
DEFINITELY trio of towns, if you’re looking specifically for games after the HM / SOS split occurred. it’s a good game with quite a bit to do and a nice cast of characters (although it has a pretty slow start to it, which a lot of newer-era bokumono tends to suffer with in general). also has a gay patch that makes every candidate available no matter the player gender if you’re interested in that lol
played through ToTT three times! although I haven’t played it in years and should go through it again sometime :’) I liked it a lot! it’s my favourite out of the DS era HM games and I wish they implemented irrigation farming in more games because it’s really handy.
you don't HAVE to move towns at all, if i remember correctly! you're completely fine just staying in bluebell if you want to stay there -- i don't remember ever moving from konohana at all during any of my playthroughs :')
It's hard to pick a favorite Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons game. :T If I had to pick only one of them then I would choose Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. Really liked a lot of the male marriage candidates and the rival marriages. My first game was Harvest Moon: Back to Nature for the Playstation 1. Other Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games that I've played are: Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (GC), Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life (GC), Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland (PS2), Harvest Moon: Magical Melody (GC), Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town (GBA), Harvest Moon: DS (DS), and Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns (3DS). I would like to get the Switch games, but I don't have Switch at all to do so.
I've heard of this game, but I never bothered to try it out. Think it was because of the friendship levels stuff that made me not want to play the game. Read that if you don't talk to a villager for a least a week then there's a there is a 30% chance that the person will lose -100 FP.
you need at least 9 hearts raised with your ideal candidate (and to have completed all their little heart events like their gifts & the date up through their love confession), a Level 2 house, and I don’t remember if you have to buy a double bed manually or if the house comes with one but you need that! Once you’ve got all that and the blue feather you can propose and it should work.
no problem! good taste in candidates btw i love luke. his heart level actually isn't that hard to raise -- he likes tulips, which you can grow really easily in spring. and if you're past spring, he also likes mussels and oysters which you can pick up from the beach! (beach stuff is really good as a universal likes category, i could be wrong but i think every character in the game likes at least 1 beach item?) he also likes both coconuts and bananas, so once you've gotten the blue bell you can just grab those off the ground when you travel to toucan island. (and you can buy coconut cocktails from the brass bar once it's levelled up!)
Wow, thanks again! Now I can gift Luke some items that are more available instead of waiting for fall (?) to grow spinach lol.
Interesting... :0 That's good to know if I were to attempt this myself. Still got the original game in my possession, but I will keep this in mind.
Don't own the game or ever played the game. But... Maybe checking out fogu.com and Harvest Moon Reddit Page can help you out if you haven't tried already. I mostly used fogu whenever I need some information on something.
