Story of Seasons! <3

[Lady Timpani]

I'm a little worried since I use my 3DS clock to alter time a lot for Animal Crossing. Will that effect Story of Seasons or no?

I'm gonna go ahead and say no, since Harvest Moon games traditionally haven't been connected to the real world clock the way Animal Crossing games are. I don't see why they'd seitch it up with SoS; HM games just aren't meant to pass in real time.

I just got Story of Seasons. It's so cute. Fritz is great. This is my first Harvest Moon game, so does anyone have any tips for me? I really wanna put effort into playing this game.

gather wild crops after you take care of you farm and save a decent number of them if it anything like new beginning youll need them oh and once you get crop seed maker use frulizer to raise quilty then keep doing that till 5 stars (have a greenhouse will let you do this year round you make alot just getting a few crops to 5 star then it just plant and water but that based of on beginiings game so some push and pulls to this maybe needed

SoS uses its own clock. It is not real-time.

Phew, that's a relief. I would have been screwed.

My biggest advice would be to hoard everything you can. It's kinda tough when you need the money, especially at first, but seriously you never know when you're going to need something you sold later on. Crops you grow on your own, and anything you see A LOT of while you're gathering are safe bets to sell though. Although, if it's like A New Beginning, if you make recipes with the crops, they sell for much more, so maybe hold out until you have recipes.

Oh my goodness, I legitimately JUST got the game... I'm a little late to the party, but I got the bunny plush! It's actually just the size of a keychain and I was a little disappointed.. but it's still cute so I love it anyway. ;w;

On the other hand, I will be posting my thoughts on the game tomorrow when I get the chance to play, a little too tired tonight as it's about 11 pm where I live. </3

Oh hey! I think tips would be that crops usually give a good amount of money, it's not that much of a good tip but.. normally at the beginning of the game, crops can save you from being bankrupt, also I would invest in a chicken before a cow or anything big. ^^

Also if you ever get confused, don't feel shy to use a guide online! they help quite a bit, though I haven't tried the game yet personally, so I can't give too many tips right now, I'll give you better ones tomorrow if you like, as for now these are just my odd recommendations. <3

Yup, horde stuff. Nothing worse than waking up on the first of winter to find out what you need is only available in fall...

 

[Lolipup]

Ah okay, just starting out, I love the customization at the beginning and from the looks of it we will be able to unlock more customization features later on! ^^

On the other hand, I agree with Xita that the introduction is very dragged on.. I feel like the characters are talking a little too much, too. but I'm sure after the tutorial that will get a lot better, but right now it just feels quite tedious to get through.

I also don't really like how Eda's eyebrows wriggle suggestively like that, it's a little disturbing. ;w;
Although I must say, I'm more disturbed by Giorgio's entrance.. the fact that roses appear when he comes onto the screen, and I would like to mention he has a rather defined Yaoi chin.

Just got my copy. I just walked in the door and shortly after a guy came to the door with the package, so good timing. Honestly I'm surprised I got it the day after release, I'm really impressed with EB Games. And the bunny plush too, so yeah A+

I'll probably start the game tonight. I'm excited because I just did the system transfer to my new 3DS XL, so I'll get to play it on the nice big screen. c:

ya the beginning drags abit but with so much added seem needed for beginners

Ah that does make sense, yet at the same time I just wish It was only a taaaaad bit shorter. xwx;;

Btw, nice Squalo icon <3

You guys weren't kidding when you said the tutorial was long. I've been doing it for an hour so far lol.

 

[Dasbreenee]

Has anyone used the multiplayer?
How is it, what do you do?

Exactly, that's what I wanna know.


Anyways, hows the game? If I love ACNL and Fantasy Life, I would enjoy this, right?

 

[Holla]

I agree with you guys the tutorial is very long but you gotta admit it's a big improvement upon A New Beginning's season/month long tutorial that was even worse! The tutorials are needed though for new players, but it'd be nice if they'd add a tutorial free mode or at least the option to skip them.

 

[DarkDesertFox]

Any tips for finding twigs to make small lumber? I seriously have looked all over and am only 2 away from upgrading my house. I don't want to have to keep fast forwarding days to find them.

 

[RosieThePeppyCat]

Going to be purchasing the game when I'm done with my ACNL April fools day stuff.

I feel like the tutorial problem is something I see come up with most games. It's just a necessary evil.

Anyway, lurking to hear all your other opinions.

Lurking for the same! I'm not going to jump into buying this game, but I'm keeping an eye out for opinions this week.

I'm on about day 11 so far (a few days past the tutorial stuff and I really like it.) I find it cute that you basically start with a little run down shack after the preliminary tutorials and you slowly work your way on upgrading it. It's also nice that after your first upgrade you get a closet which allows you change your entire appearance as often as you want for free. The only thing it looks like you have to unlock is more clothes and hats, but hair styles and colours are plentiful. The characters are also all very cute and interesting. I still have to meet Nadi and Agate (they unlock later I believe). I keep getting lost on the map so much as it's more complicated than the one in ANB but that one was simple and boring anyways. I'm able to right myself in a couple minutes so I don't stay lost for long. I also like that you can customize your farm AND the inside of your house (like move things around). And the town comes as it so no annoying issue of trying to make all the buildings fit. Overall I really like this game so far! ^.^
