Have You Ever Played a Harvest Moon Game?

[Kayteaface]

Yes! My first was Harvest Moon DS which I got with my DS Lite back in either '06 or '07. When I upgraded to the 3DS XL last year, my first eShop download was A New Beginning and I also got A Tale of Two Towns when that was discounted. I haven't played an awful lot of AToTT yet so I don't have much of an opinion on it, but comparing A New Beginning to HMDS, I really do prefer the earlier games. I'm not too keen on the direction they've taken the graphics tbh but I've heard good things about Story of Seasons so I'll probably be tempted by it whenever it's released here :3

me and my brother used to both own a copy of harvest moon DS and we used to play it together when we went on trips to the new forest (This huge national park in England, it's like 50 miles long. Its a forest that was planted like 200 years ago for the purpose of hunting deer, so it had really unique trees and there are loads of wild horse and **** it's so cool, I urge you to research it)

Coincidentally, the New Forest is where I met my friend I played HM:FoMT with! There was an end of year camping trip organised for all of the Year 7s and I'd only just moved to England a month or so prior, so I wasn't really close to anyone yet at my new school. Both of our partners ditched us last minute so we were forced to share a tent.

I don't get the appeal of Harvest moon, Just looks like a farming simulator.

its the best farming simulator

I played many. My favourite was A Wonderful Life, but I also really enjoyed A New Beginning and the SNES version.

I haven't! Story of Seasons is my first one, and I bought it this morning on the eShop. I'm really liking it so far though.

My first Harvest Moon game was Harvest Moon DS as well 8D I know it's "outdated" but it's still my favourite one. I love the characters in it and I love how simple the graphics are. They help with getting work done.

I've played Harvest Moon Island of Happiness as well. It was nice too but only controlling with a stylus was annoying to me.

yes, I have. my first Harvest Moon game was Another Wonderful Life... I rented it from the video store, it seemed like something I'd enjoy. and it was. :'> (also Gustafa best husband) I bought it because I liked it so much. though I got really bored with it after the first year... and I had a hard time taking care of my animals. my cows often got sick and it annoyed and upsetted me. I've picked it up again multiple times, but I never get too far. I am determined to make it through at least 2 of the years someday.
next up was Magical Melody... I love that game, but it feels so horribly limited in some ways, in comparison to Another Wonderful Life. have played it way more regardless. I bought it without having rented it ever, no regrets because I was in love as soon as I started. do wish items stacked, though. don't get enough rucksack/fridge space. I was actually playing it for almost a week while I was still computerless back in December, but had to remove the TV that was in here because it took up too much space. :| I enjoy that game's music so much, it's so relaxing. used to listen to the summer or winter music to sleep.

the most recent Harvest Moon game I have played is Tree of Tranquility. I just really wanted that game super hardcore, and after a long time waiting... got it from a friend as a Christmas present one year! I really like it, though have played it way less than the other two I've played. was happy for stacking items and way more rucksack space. was happy that all the other characters you can marry can get with other characters. negative is that time passes just a little too fast... it's hard to get everything done, at least on days you can't let the barn animals, chickens and ducks outside. :/ if time stopped when you were in buildings like it does in Magical Melody, I'd be okay with that. oh well. other than that, I love the game.

I have also played More Friends of Mineral Town, but it was so hard to get into. :/ I liked it, but the controls/shortcuts were hard to remember and I constantly found myself accidentally dropping items or whatever else. too few buttons to work with for my liking, so I didn't get all too far. I could also never decide on who to marry. lmao

I'd really like to pick up a more recent handheld Harvest Moon game, though I'm not sure which ones are any good.
