Harvest Moon

[KCourtnee]

Anyone else a Harvest Moon fan?

Ive only played 2 games in the series but i love them both. My first one was Island of Happiness. I got that one back in 2008 when i was a sophomore in HS. I played it so much. I got up to year 7 and then one of my college roommates stole it like 3 years ago.

A year or so ago i gpt A New Beginning and i just recently started playing it a lot. Ive mainly been working on my farm and neglecting my town rennovations. Im trying tp build up a good amount of money and supplies before i really start re doing my town. Plus i need the iron axe which im working on getting.

Yes, I love Harvest Moon!
My favorite one is Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life, but I haven't played in a long time.
The last thing I did in A New Beginning was getting married, then I stopped playing.

How long did it take you to get your friendship level high enough? I feel like its taking forever lol and it took so long in Island of Happiness that i never even did it after 7 in-game years

 

[Imbakatten]

I just search up what she liked and gave it to her every single day. I'm married to Iroha, because she was the easiest. xD
And yes it took forever.
I have played Island of Happiness once, I didn't like it at all.

 

[KCourtnee]

Yes thats what i did with Neil. Hes pretty stubborn but i guess i naturally have a thing for stubborn guys becausw the guy i wanted in IoH was VERY stubborn XD

And really? What did you not like about it?
I personally like how in ANB i dont have to build literally everything like i did in IOH.

 

[Imbakatten]

I don't really know xD I guess that I didn't want to start over again because I was still into Harvest Moon DS

I've been playing Harvest Moon games since "A Wonderful Life" Came out for the gamecube. Lol I love Harvest Moon games they're so much fun! I have "A New Beginning" too but haven't played in months. Neil is my husband and I can't wait to have his baby.

Harvest Moon has been a part of my life since I played the 64 game when I was little. I didn't even really know what I was doing but I somehow ended up getting married and having a kid and not screwing everything up even though I was pretty young. I'm 21 now and I have a collection of 16 HM games. It's definitely been a game I've always loved playing even as I got older.

What I find really weird is that I skipped picking up some Harvest Moon games when I was growing up and when I got older and kind of looked into those games, I decided to give them a try. Like I didn't have Animal Parade until last year and I wish I had bought it sooner because it's one of my absolute favorite games! And I bought an old PS2 game (Save the Homeland) and I wish I had bought it back when I had been playing PS2 more often because it's also really good!

My absolute favorite HM games are More/Friends of Mineral Town, A Wonderful Life, HM64, Animal Parade, and DS Cute. It doesn't matter how long of a break I take from any of those games, I can always pick them back up and have just as much fun as I was having when I last played it. Of course, I have some troubles remembering exactly what I was doing the last time I had played, but it usually doesn't take me too long to figure it out again.

I'm kind of a big fan of the older HM games like HM64, Friends of Mineral Town, and games like those. I didn't really like A New Beginning when I played it. I found the game to be extremely easy and I wasn't really having that much fun because nothing was really challenging me. I got married super quickly, built a whole bunch of stuff, made a ton of money, and I just got really bored of it. I didn't pick up Story of Seasons because I was afraid it was going to be too much like ANB for my taste, but after seeing some gameplay and reading what people have said about it, I think I'll give it a try at some point. I would definitely take SoS over The Lost Valley though lol

A Wonderful Life was my first harvest moon game as well. I've gotten a few new games from the franchise, but I never really got addicted to playing them. The last game I played heavily was Animal Parade. I ended up marrying the Harvest King on my main file, and made a side file just to marry Toby. I really enjoyed playing that game a lot, but I was pretty upset that my husband couldn't live with me. xD

I had this game and at first it took me so, so long but after I restarted recently it took me like 2 years to marry someone I think.

Dude yes. I originally got A Lost Valley and i played it for 2 hours and hated it. I went right back to gamestop and traded that one in for ANB lol.

Hm i can see how ANB would be easier. It was certainly easier than IOH. I literally had to build everything from the barn to a birthing pen to a feeding trout. But i loved that game <3

Ooh, a Harvest Moon loving thread! <3 I have finally decided that it is my favorite video game series.

Right now I just picked up Tale of Two Towns and am having so much fun. I am playing as a boy on this file because I wanted to marry one of the bachelorettes but after talking to them, I can decide (typical Harvest Moon problem). I think it will end up being Nori or Alisa (Oracle is so cute too though..).

Anyway, I really loved Story of Seasons. I avoided getting A New Beginning because I played SOS first and also thought it would be too similar? I have over 1,000 hours of playtime on SOS.. (and I will say that is because I have almost 100% completion except for caring about crowns on my shipping list). There is also a lot of flexibility in customizing your farm (and even house). I married Licorice and set up a botanical work area for her since she loves to study plants.

Harvest Moon is just sooo adorable and amazing! *^* I've also been playing this series since the N64 days with my siblings! Good memories. (I was so happy they made girl characters! ...That didn't end the game right after they got married.)
Hey hey, I can't wait for the new Harvest Moon game to come out though! Hyped~

 

[ellarella]

i have A New Beginning, but the introduction is just sooo long that i can't bear to repeat it to get to the meat of the game. plus, the frame rate was obnoxious at your farm. i really hope their next game is a smash hit without any technical difficulties, because it sounds so cute to marry and all that.

 

[GhulehGirl]

I've liked Harvest Moon for i don't know how long. Have games for DS/3DS, Wii, Game Cube. Have some of the Rune Factory ones as well.

I saw Rune Factory at GS and was contemplating on getting it... Is it similar to HM?

 

[Mr. Cat]

I've played them all from the beginning up until I got Island of Happiness. I didn't buy another one after that. My favorite is a Wonderful Life.

 

[Aloha]

I played so many when I was younger.My first HM game was HM More Friends of Mineral Town.Loved it.I played most of the ds games as well.The last HM game I played was Story of Seasons.Btw,also amazing

Has anyone played Harvest Moon?

I noticed there are animal crossing players who've played this as well (I'm one of them, I've owned so many lol). Has anyone else played it too? What was your first game? What made you get it?

Mine was Magical Melody. My dad took me to gamestop to buy me Sonic adventure 2, and told me I could get another game too. So I'm browsing, and see the game right up on the shelf. It caught my attention cause the cover was cute, and when I read the back I liked the idea of farming (since I never did that in a game). I was completely sold when it said you could get married though xD. So I bring my games to the check out counter, and when the girl sees my harvest moon game she goes nuts. "I've owned all of these! Aedtuikbfdtjj I always finish everything so fast asdyuikgfduolhf in this game I would have married the farmer but the doctor was so cute!" My dad and I just stood in shocked silence and let her talk.

She told me I would love it, and I did! I married one of the woodshop apprentices in my game (Kurt), but then I married Blue after I had to start all over (brother accidently saved over my game, I'd collected all the musical notes and everything).

I don't expect a lot of replies, I'm really just asking out of curiosity.
