Harvest Moon

[Vintage Viola]

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.

No, I actually didn't know that. I can see it though. As for the pathway, it leads to mineral town you had to plug your gameboy (with [more] friends of mineral town in it of course) to the console in order to access it. Then you could buy things out there. I never went down the path either, sprite would stop me like you said. But that's what I remember learning.

Oh cool! I never knew about that. Back in Friends of Mineral Town if you go to Mother's Hill you can see Forget-Me-Not Valley. Pretty cool eh? I think theres another path that leads down the side of the hill but its just for show as a graphic

Yeah I remember that! I think it is pretty cool how those two games were connected like that.

I had the Harvest moon for gamecube.... I couldn't get into it, or do really well in it, I don't think its for me...

The first time I played it I didn't like it either. But after watching a let's play of it on YT, I think it's one of the best titles in the series ^^

Harvest Moon is probably the first game series I really got into, it's one of my favourites. I've played most of the console ones but I never had a DS until the 3DS came out, so now I'm slowly accumulating the older handheld games that I've missed. I actually just bought DS:Cute but I haven't had a chance to play it yet, I've got a bit of a backlog going atm. And I'm about to start Stardew Valley so I figure that will likely suck me in and push things even further back, haha.

The only HM games I really could not get into were AWL and AnWL. Oddly enough they seem to be the most popular installments (I think part of that is nostalgia though because it was many people's introduction to HM). The graphics are lovely but I can't stand almost everything else about the games, tbh. Otherwise though I don't think I've played any others in the series that I haven't gotten completely addicted to. My first and all time favourite is Back to Nature for the PS1, I still replay it all the time on my old system.

Glad to see other fans, it seems like it's still a niche franchise but still quite popular.

My first Harvest Moon was also A Wonderful Life, I'm not really surprised that others have gotten into the series from the same game! I still have all my harvest moon games and am still a big fan! I would really like to see another HM game where you characters can grow old like in AWL.

My first HM game was Harvest Moon 64 and I absolutely adored it, easily my most played game back in the day. The series is effectively dead to me now that Stardew Valley is out, it does everything HM does well and does more on top of it.

I always played on my game cube back in the day. It was either animal crossing or harvest moon. I loved riding my horse up to the waterfall and catching fish. I actually looked at getting a version for my DS but I saw a lot of reviews saying the harvest moon name was sold and its not the same. So, I gave up looking.

Harvest Moon on the gamecube is so far superior to any ds version I've played. I thought about trying one for the 3ds but they're so different and the characters look stupid.

Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is the only title I played.
And it's perfect.
I have played that game so much... I kinda want to play it again.
Never got 100 notes though... rip lol.

I LOVE Harvest Moon!! Harvest Moon DS was my first and is still my top favourite to this day.

I have only played DS and Sunshine Islands. Those touch screen controls in SI were horrible imo.

I have Story of Seasons but haven't played too far in yet. Just beat the tutorial.

I LOVE Harvest Moon! It is my second favorite game series next to Legend of Zelda! ^-^

My favorite game of the series is Animal Parade for sure, but I am super excited about Trio of Towns which is set to come out this month if they don't push it back! ^-^ <3

I love Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons.

Harvest Moon 64 was the first game of the series I owned. Over the years, I've bought most of the titles. I have the newest Story of Seasons on pre-order too.

 

[oaristos]

I have never really played a Harvest Moon game before, but I pre-ordered Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns and I'm very excited to play it this month!

 

[Emizel]

[Balverine]

Back in the GameCube times, I played harvest moon sooooooo much!
My sister and I would live for this game (and ACPG too)
I started on the male one that came out first and loved the whole plot about getting a wife depending on what gifts and how much attention you give to each potential partner.
Although we loved this game, we really wanted to play as a girl (cuz we both gals) so as soon as we heard about the girl version we made sure to bug my mom every day until she bought it for us.
When we did we played every outcome with husbands and loved to farm, interact with the villagers, get animals, and mine!
This was one of the games that makes me the most nostalgic of all on the GameCube!
