Aside frome the one I named, I've played A wonderful life, another wonderful life, friends of mineral town, more friends of mineral town, save the homeland, tree of tranquility, and animal parade. I played a spin off puzzle one too (forgot the name, I lost it years ago). So do I, they're a lot more fun than I ever thought a farming game could be.
I haven't been playing it, but I own one of the games! I hadn't heard of Harvest Moon until after I got into ACNL/joined this forum. And I guess I wanted to a play another easy going game like Animal Crossing, so I decided to buy one of the Harvest Moon games around autumn of 2014 (lmao I can't believe I remember). I was actually really interested in getting a Story of Seasons after watching some Let's Plays on YouTube, but the NA one hadn't been released yet, and ofc instead of waiting, I wanted one of the games immediately and settled for A New Beginning. It was fun, but I disliked the farming mechanics, like how you'd have to water each individual plot of a crop; it just took way too long and made the game tedious after a while.
I don't think I got very far in the game. I probably stopped while it was still the first year in game? Maybe second year? I can't remember. But I do remember I aimed for the bachelor Neil haha. I'm not sure I'll go back to playing A New Beginning, but I'm interested in getting SoS if I have the money this summer!

You are lucky to have experienced playing all of those amazing games. I never had the privilege to play most of the Harvest Moon Games you've listed. Sadly I've missed out on playing the older titles. Another thing I'd like to add is that in Story of Seasons all of the bachelors/bachelerettes have dull personalities and there's absolutely nothing interesting or exciting about them. All of the characters are boring and and I get no vibe from them whatsoever. But the only Character I do like is Witchy but you can't even marry her in this game. I stopped playing Story of Seasons because I chose not to marry such a boring and expressionless character. I do not want that in a game and it just ruins the experience. On the other hand In some areas the game is much better and enhanced while in other places it just fell flat with zero quality.

Oh if only you could turn back the clock alright, they were great. Maybe watching play throughs of them online can help fill the void. That's actually why I've never played Story of Seasons, the characters seem boring just from the way that they look lol. So I can totally believe you when you say that, darn shame it is though. The characters are/should be the best part of the game. What's the point if they aren't interesting?
One thing I love the most is the summer theme. I love dancing to it!
Oh, and I bawled like a baby when Eda died. The cutscene was so sudden and I was shocked. The winter theme makes me think of Eda.

Oh. my. God that's cute. It's so catchy! Lol I was tapping my feet around listening to that one. One of my absolute favorite harvest moon songs is from a/another wonderful life. It's called Joy of Fall/Autumn:
It really does sound like a fall song!

That is a fun theme, I imagine little harvest sprites jumping and dancing on big mushrooms in the forest lol. This one is from A Wonderful life. It reminds me of the days when I booted up the game and than I'd hear this spring theme.

Oh the spring theme, that one is so tranquil. That's practically the theme song of the whole game to me, it's the very first one you hear after all xD
I also like the song that plays in Galen's house after Nina dies (bless her heart). It's so sad, but then it kind of puts a smile on my face.
I never noticed her death or the fact she disappeared at first. I had to read about it to find out where Nina was. Did you know there is a mini game in where you scrub Nina's grave and after you're done Galen is very happy with you and tells you Nina is too.

Yeah I did! I remember doing it on all three files I made. I didn't know she was dead either up until I actually went into his chap 2 house. When I saw he had some of her things and she was nowhere in sight I put two and two together. There's a mini game at the Inn too, where you can challenge Rock (Hugh too I think) to a milk drinking contest. Ever played that one?
I don't recall but I might have. If I did i probably didn't know wtf was happening lmao! Like "ok what do I press? How to I drink the milk?!!?"

Omg I know! Lol I never use to win, it was too hard. I don't know if I just sucked or if the game was cheating me. That wasn't something that I did too often haha.
My favorite character is Mukumuku. He is so cute and I always used to give him fish and flowers. My favorite thing I did in AWL was to dig in carters Dig Site. I got rich off those ores woohoo! like 20K..........lol

I loved Mukumuku! Befriending him is how you get the fall song. I use to kind of like Daryl a bit, up until I caught him staring at my son through my living room window lol. I use to go to the dig site, not a lot but man it was a good way of making money outside the farm.
Bahahaha I caught him doing that to my son as well! I loved hanging out if him. I used to wait in front of his door before he unlocked it. And I'd pretend I'm an evil genius working with him and creating lab experiments and stuff. I would make an evil laugh out loud and pretend to drink potions and get messed up off them LMFAO good times!

LMAO I use to play the pretend lab assistant too! Too bad that couldn't be, like, a part time job or something. That would have been great. I use to like Murrey too. Even though he stole from the freezer a lot. I never use to be bothered by it though, I'm sure he didn't have a lot of food.
I didn't really pay any mind to him but he always kept asking for my money and I didn't like that. I used to get so excited when I saw Van's fat azz walking down the hill. I'd be like "YESS!! here comes my paycheck!" I linked my GBA HMFoMT game to AWL and bought some bonus music for the game that you could play on a record. Sadly I cant do that anymore.

Yeah, that was something that got annoying. Plus, when you'd set up shop by the tree and he'd stop by as if he were going to buy something. Only to tell you he had no money, as if you were just going to let him have it for free.
Did you know that Van's character design is based of the Japanese item the Daruma? Also i sometimes tried to exit Forget Me Not Valley but the sprite would always magically appear to stop me. I always wondered what is beyond that big pathway. Even in Harvest Moon DS.
