Story of Seasons! <3

[LuckyCalico]

Ah, Chase and Toby are just kind of those guys that you really like~ <3 though I wish Toby would talk less about fish, pff, that's the only thing I don't like about him~ ;w; but otherwise he's perf <3 though I actually never married the wizard, did you?
I actually plan to start a new file today! owo I'm just having a hard time thinking of what to name my character and farm. xwx;; like I have no idea.. it's been so long and I don't want to just reuse a name I used last file, I want something fresh that helps represent the new me and junk~ <3

Me too... OH GOSH, I totally forgot how much I had to reset for certain gems and ores! ;w; It was tedious and just plain uncomfortable, I hated that you couldn't just go to an area in the mine like in older games, that you knew the ore would be in.. not to mention I used to love exploring the mines and caves, and they took that away by just putting little stocks there to hit, I was really disappointed with that, because that exploration gave a lot to get you away from just the farming aspect or perhaps your daily chores on the game, so without it... it made me a little sad. ;w;

It's been a while since I played AP so I really can't remember what little quirks Toby or Chase had.^^; And nope. Might set him as the goal if I start a new file. I still have to go dig my wii out of my closet and set everything back up.XD
That's great. I'm sure you'll think of a good name for everything. And don't you get a free cow near the beginning? You'll need a name for it too haha.

Yeah, ANB's mining wasn't very interesting. I liked exploring the mines too, so definitely a disappointment about the 3 or 4 little mining spots. Resetting always kind of threw me out of the game, but I also didn't want to play a week of in-game days just to get one or two gems I needed. I didn't really like the mining system in ANB or Tale of Two Towns.

Ah, me too ;w; I can't remember the last time I played it~ so I think it's about time to start a new game, speaking of... I keep procrastinating! D: I have the disc in the wii, but I keep forgetting to turn it on, hopefully I actually make a new file today, but I'm just so iffy about what to name my character/farm/and cow that like, I'm hesitant to turn it on because I know I'm bound to sit there for like an hour debating over good names, though in the end I know it'll be worth it, so I think I should get the new game started </3

Though eep! you should defiantly set that as a goal, I'm sure it'll be a little more challenging, but it also might be more fun to try to get the Wizard to marry you~ ^^ Teehee, though I'm also a little rusty on the quirks... ;w; must, play D:

I'm kind of hoping Story of Seasons has a better if not different mining system;; one like the older games where you can actually explore the mines, or at least a bigger mining area, I want it to be fun and not limited as well such as in ANB, and I can't remember the system in Tale Of Two towns, but if it is anything like ANB then I defiantly don't want to see a repeat of that.. though the due date is drawing near, so we'll get to play Story of Seasons soon, lets just hope it has improvements instead of downgrades D:

 

[oswaldies]

To be honest the new one is better, has more features and its better quality.

Well, it won't be as fun if you have to play through the game with names you don't like.^^ You'll figure out some good names sooner or later. Me too!XD I'm going to try to get it started either tomorrow or maybe some time this weekend. Animal Crossing and Fantasy Life has been keeping me entertained until SOS comes out, but it might be nice to go relive the AP memories a bit. I'm really just hoping they don't change the release date again at the last minute.

Tale of Two Towns' farming and mining annoyed me. Same with not playing in a long time so I don't remember it all that well, but I think you couldn't even open the mines until the two towns were united again.:/ But yeah, hoping SOS has a open mining plan than ANB did.

Do you mean Story of Seasons and A New Beginning?

Yes

 

[LuckyCalico]

Yes

Have you played it? I really hope it has a lot more features. Hopefully no more garden tours too.

Ugh I agree I loathe those stupid Gardening tours! I only did a couple that were required for the town restorations and that's it.

So I finally made my profile last night and I'm quite happy! I just used Alee of Stitches ranch <3 (My name and stitches since I'm learning a little bit of basic nursing lately. ^^) so jut something cute, short and sweet, I was originally going to go with like Litwick of Illumination ranch but it didn't fit pff. ;w; so I think I still did good. <3
How about you?? did you finally start or no? <3 cause I'm actually quite curious on what names you'll choose too. ^^
Though now I'm like, So unsure on what animals I want, eep! ;w; I'm learning towards Squirrel and Shiba though..

Yeah... ;w; ugh, I remember disliking how you cared for the animals as well, like trying to pet them to keep them happy was actually quite hard and I never figured out how to pet them properly;; ^^; so I was always was confused in that aspect.. however, I am also hoping SOS brings us hope and like a new, awesome mining system~ I'm like itching to explore a nice built mine, with like a lake at the bottom such as in previous HMs, I always really loved when they hid one down at like some ridiculous level~ <3

 

[RosieThePeppyCat]

Ah the game is almost out!! I'm exicted c: Just bought more eshop to get it.

I really hope it's a good game. One question, are the newer harvest moon games more like Fantasy Life or Animal Crossing?

 

[Amissapanda]

SO MUCH YES on the Garden Tour nonsense. I have an old tumblr post that sums up my feelings on it perfectly: http://amissapanda.tumblr.com/post/40146821532/wow-screw-you-guys-i-put-so-many-materials-into

Also, all the Animal Parade talk makes me happy. That's my favorite Harvest Moon game to date. I'm currently Let's Playing it and by popular choice of the viewers, Chase is the intended bachelor. : ) He's my favorite to ship with Molly, so I have no qualms with that. Hehe. I adore them together. (I do also like Wizard, though. And I ship Angela with Gill.)

I already told you that I really enjoy watching your let's plays of Animal Parade but also thanks to that I have now ordered it from the Internet so it should be here soon! ^.^ I also agree Chase may be a butthead at times but he's such a cutie! <3

I'm so excited now just watch me get it on the day SOS comes out lol I'll have no idea which to play first as I'm equally excited for both in different ways.

lol at your tumblr post! I kind of enjoy the b**chiness from the villagers (I fell in love with Neil at first sight of him being super rude and mean to me!), but I know how you feel about the stupid gardening tours. I didn't even bother because it seemed like a big undertaking. If I ever go back to playing the game, I'll probably do it...but it's a hassle and the decorations are so meh.

I never played Animal Parade, but you guys sold it so well on here that I watched someone's gameplay on youtube, and it does look pretty cool...very different from ANB. But I only have a 3DS, so I can't really play it. But I like watching gameplay videos of games I probably won't ever play myself, lol...is that weird? It's almost like playing it.

Can I watch yours? PM me the link, if you don't mind.

Oh actually, duh, I just realized how to find it through your tumblr. XD

 

[LuckyCalico]

I only did them for the town requirements too. The gardening space took up so much room on the map and usually no matter how I arranged everything the judges always gave me the worst ratings.

Oh, so you're learning to be a nurse? That's awesome.^^ Really nice name. Have you gotten the cow yet?
And nope, not yet. The past couple days have been way too busy for me to get the wii set up and have time to relax.XD I might try to get around to it tonight. I have no idea what to name anything though haha. A squirrel would be interesting. I was thinking about the rabbit and maybe trying for the weasel this time around.

The levels in older games' mines was fun. That's what I usually did in the game on rainy days when I had extra time from not having to water the crops. It would be great if they did bring it back. I always find myself focusing more on foraging/mining and taking care of the animals more than I usually like farming.

Haha, I'm going to have to read that later.XD Always nice to know other people disliked the tours as much as I did.
I really like Animal Parade and Chase was one of favourite bachelors in the game. I honestly never did like Maya with him in the rival marriages.

Just my opinion, but it's probably more like Animal Crossing if I had choose one of them to compare it to. It's still quite different, but to me they both have more of a relaxed game play. No fighting monsters and leveling up like in Fantasy Life. That's more like Rune Factory.

 

[samsquared]

...I actually really liked the Garden Tours
I took them very hardcore seriously in the post game...
Ugh, can I just say that it's so nice seeing Rod's face again like
ugggggggggh hnnnnng love you, doll
it would only be better if you were Denny
And that consideration is def extended to Iroha <3 what a babe

 

[Peoki]

I really like the character designs for this title compared to Twin Towns and ANB.

I am still on the fence for buying this on release day. I've heard good things about Story of Seasons, but I've never been able to get into the handheld HM games. Something always feels off for me . I haven't played a Harvest Moon title since the gamecube era!

Okay cool. I love animal crossing, so I will probably love this

Thank you for your input!

Maybe you should try one of the Wii versions. ^.^ Animal Parade for the Wii is a really good one if you're not a handheld Harvest Moon fan.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think I might have a copy of Animal Parade or Tree of Tranquility (maybe both?) on Wii... I'll have to dig out my collection and check. I am definitely interested in giving Story of Seasons a shot. Perhaps I'll wait a bit for NA reviews to pop up.
Harvest Moon was one of the series I really enjoyed as a kid. ^^
