Story of Seasons! <3

[Gandalf]

I don't really like the new farming mechanics.. I liked picking all my produce individually and finding out the quality. The streamlined harvesting just seems kind of meh.

Looks good though. I'll probably pick it up whenever it makes its way to the pal region.

No PAL date conformation :<

Does anyone know whether it is up for preorder in the UK? If so, where?
I have already checked Amazon.co.uk, GAME.co.uk and Nintendo UK Store and I have not seen this game.

 

[ShinyYoshi]

I don't really like the new farming mechanics..

This really bothers me, too. Just another mechanic added that makes a game lose it's charm. At least, for me.

I keep finding bad things to say, but I'll end up trying the game.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but does anyone know if Story of Seasons is going to have the online rooms like A New Beginning did?

There is no known release date for you guys sorry... :/ I always hated how NA gets games way after Japan usually does (SOS came out about a year ago in Japan), but then I remember you guys tend to get them even later than us... I feel really bad for you.

Yes, but no. There will be online features but they will be different. You will be able to actually visit each other's farms this time around and there is a limited chat system (ie pick a phrase from a list given).

YES WHAT.
I am extremely hype for this game. I continually check the release date and it is still so far away.
I love Bokumono. Definitely ready to log another 300+ hours on this game. < ( o w o ) <

 

[trea]

I am super excited about this game too (I've had it preordered since Christmas, heh)! Amazon kept changing the release date around until the official one was released but I think it's nice that it ended up being a NA release date of March 31st because it will fit in with the upcoming spring season.. I'll be able to start gardening in game & outside at the same time.

That sounds interesting. I did kind of like the random players you got put together with in ANB. I'm guessing you'll only be able to visit players that you're friends with this time if it involves visiting each other's farms. Well, even a limited chat is better than none.^^

 

[Gabi<3AnimalCrossing]

You made me try & get it when it comes out just with pictures
Looks like a amazing games

oh my goodness i didn't realize there was a thread for this. i'm disappointed in myself

i am so dang excited for story of seasons!!!, and FINALLY it's close.....i've been waiting for this since before the japanese release ;; i'm so glad they kept the customization, but i hope it's a lot different from a new beginning. it took me forever to unlock soseki (who i married) and it just dragged on. i still try to play it sometimes but i just can't get into it anymore.

i'd have to say a wonderful life (extreme nostalgia reasons) and magical melody are my favorites, while island of happiness is my least favorite. also friends of mineral town, tree of tranquility(and animal parade) are great great games

sorry for my rambling lol. i just reaaaally like harvest moon

Eeep, don't be disappointed! <3 I forget about my threads a lot so, if anyone should be disappointed it should be me.

I'm completely psyched about it! it's almost going to be out, I just hope they don't change the release date again! ;w; I've been going nuts with the date coming so close, then they decide to change it... like, I just hope this time there are no changes. </3

Though I agree! I love the customization, and unlike Pok?mon x and y, I'm glad I can always count on Harvest Moon to keep the improvements they implement, and add on to customization all the time~ <3 at the same time, I do hope it's a little different from ANB, but I also hope it's a little the same in some aspects? because I didn't mind ANB, I actually quite liked it, but I felt it needed a little more to be able to give me the need to replay it. ^^

no worries, rambling is always welcomed! <3

I named one of my children Lucy without realizing it was one of the rivals' children's names. I didn't let Luke and Selena get married since I didn't want two Lucys, haha.XD Definitely agree with you. Loved the children in that game.

Yeah, the weasel was a pain to get too. I wouldn't probably attempt to get it without the hippo transport. Same on the clothing in ANB. I didn't get most of them. I finally remembered the hassle was getting the colored down for everything. Maybe I had bad luck, but I rarely ever got colored down in the game.

Oh eep! </3 that must of been a bummer;; at least you had a little challenge you set for yourself, to keep them from getting married! p-pff. ^^

I ended up naming my little girl Rinoa, and I think I named the older brother like, Sebastian or something... D: I can't remember really! I haven't checked into the game for quite awhile;; though as of late I was actually thinking of just starting a new game entirely on it, to see if that helps me get back into it. ^^

I loved the weasel~ <3 it was a pain but like, it was really worth it in the end! I can't remember if I ever did get the hippo transport or not. ;w;
Eeek I know.. there were quite a lot I REALLY wanted, but I felt were too hard to get;; so I never had the chance to get quite a lot of them. D: It still makes me a little pouty thinking about some of those dresses I wanted and could never get. ;w;

Yeah, although it was a bit of shame because I liked Luke and Selena together.

Aw, those names are adorable.^^ Who did you marry in that file? Haha, I know. After all this talk of it, I feel like I should go start it back up.XD I got the hippo eventually. Had to wait through another year to get the proper vegetable for the recipe though. Yep, agree though. It is nice when the hard work pays off and then you get to show off the pet in the contest.

Me too. I always wanted to get the kimonos, but I never got around to it. The colored cloth was too hard to gather up. I don't want it to be too easy, but if they have a tailor in Story of Seasons I really hoped they make the recipes a bit easier to obtained.

Me too~ ;w; so that is kind of depressing to think about.. but it would be too awkward if they did get together. </3

Eeep, thanks~ thought hey were rather random I admit. ^^;; I believe I married toby, I was fixing to make another file to marry Chase or Gil, but I never got around to it for one reason or another. D: though honestly, me too! It might be fun to start up a new game on Animal parade, you never know. ^^
I like, never got the proper vegetables, it took me forever and I would always forget to collect one or another in the season. D:

;w; mhmm~ I think for me I wanted the blue cute uniform dress thing, I can't remember the exact name.. but I do know I was really bummed out that I never got it, though I agree, not too easy but like, at least too hard as well, I think it was a little over killed in ANB how hard it was to get those materials... ^^;

 

[Holla]

All this talk of Animal Parade really makes me want that game more (as well as SOS of course)! I missed out on all the Wii Harvest Moons if I get lucky and find a copy I'll probably pick one up! ^.^

I found a really cheap one on Amazon and ordered it the other day! It will give me something to do over the summer when I'm in summer classes.

you definitely should!! i played tree of tranquility first, but i went into gamestop i think not too long ago and found a used copy. the clerk said it had been there so long it was for some reason a brand new game. so i got it for like $10 >

 

[Lucykieran]

I had never actually heard of this game till now but it's going on my to buy list!! Along with like ten other games but ya know, it'll get done by the time they release the next new 3ds.

I married Chase the first time I played. It hard choosing between him, Toby, and the wizard.XD Yeah, it would at least give up something to play until SoS is released.
That's exactly what I did haha. I think I forgot to save tomatoes the first year without knowing the store didn't sell vegetables and fruits outside of the season they grew in.D:

I kind of felt like ANB had a little too much luck involved in getting a few of the items when foraging and mining. I knew you could reset the game to change what you got, but it was still a bit annoying to have to do that just to get one or two downs or a specific gem/ore.

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;

 

[Jaebeommie]

I put $40 on my eShop account yesterday in anticipation for this game. I haven't played a Harvest Moon game before, so I'm pretty excited
