Story of Seasons! <3

Got this game from the E3 sale! My only gripe so far is how far your farm is from the town, hopefully getting a horse from Elise would remedy that. I'm still getting used to only being able to ship items on certain days, but it isn't as bad as Grand Bazaar at least.

I've just built the Kitchen and a refrigerator, now working on buying blueprint for Seed Maker and eventually Sewing Studio!

Yes having the horse, and carrots helps a lot getting to town.
 
Ugh. I have had this game for a year or something and I went through the tutorial and now I am free as a bird to do whatever I want. The problem is... I have no idea where to even start. What do you guys suggest?

I just planted a whole bunch of crops on my land and foraged stuff from the rivers and small areas where stuff spawns.

I just got to my first summer, and this game is making me angry. I'm giving it a shot because I knew if it was anything like A New Beginning, I wouldn't like it. But I honestly think this game might be worse :/ but since I've played Harvest Moon games since I was really young, I still wanted to be sure I wasn't missing out. I just think the games have changed too drastically for me and all the changes ruin it for me :-(

I grew up with Harvest Moon DS and I found that game really easy to follow. I am older now and I feel like I am having much more difficulty figuring this game out. I legit have no idea what the problem is but I feel lost when I run around town. Harvest Moon DS didnt have much of an obvious "here is what to do!" help but I figured out what to do and aim for much faster than this game. I feel like an idiot. XD

That's so weird, I feel the opposite way. But I started out with Harvest Moon 64 and have played almost every game since then. It's always been here's the farm, make it prosper, find a spouse, have a kid, do some mining, raise animals, and stuff like that. Now there's like a million different things that make no sense to do in this game but no one gives you any chance to figure out how to do anything on your own. The second someone tells you how to do something they also give you a book on how to do it like I'm too stupid to remember how to fish or take care of my sheep. The whole fighting over land permits and only being able to grow crops on the land with permits you own really makes me annoyed and I don't even want to compete for them at this point.

The changes they've made in these games just aren't for me, it just makes things so ridiculous. But since I've rambled about stuff I don't like I feel kinda bad because I know so many people really like the game so I will say that the summer music is really great and I enjoy listening to it :-)

Get a house upgrade asap! You'll get a free barn, a cow, and a craft table with it. Then you can buy blueprints sold at Silk Country/Carpenter. Players seems to suggest getting Seed Maker and Sewing Studio so you can make bank from Flax seeds. Those three should keep you occupied for around a month while you gather money and materials to build said buildings.

Also, save 5 Milks for Elise's event and 5 Turnip Seeds for the Seed Maker. Save any weeds, pebble, and twigs that you can find, you'll need a lot of them for buildings.

I will say there are a lot of similarities between the two games, like the blueprints, farm/house editing, keeping animals, etc. But there are plenty of differences where I didn't feel like I was playing the exact same game. There's new stuff added in (the beginning tutorial stage is MUCH worse than ANB though) and all the characters are different. The whole farming aspect has been changed and I think Story of Seasons might be better than A New Beginning for myself so far. I just got the game and I'm almost to my first Fall season.

I got bored with ANB really quickly, but I'm still liking SoS so far, though I just got it during the eshop sale a week or two ago. There are definite differences, and I like the mechanics of the game a lot more. Farming is simplified a lot imo, so it feels less time consuming (e.g., you get to water an entire plot vs. one crop at a time), and the speed of which you can push your cows is a bit faster too (that always annoyed me in ANB omg...SO slow). I like the characters better as well. It feels like they have more...color to them. The characters from ANB were a bit dull for me. There also don't seem to be renovation plans like there were in ANB, so I feel like the need to hoard items isn't as vital, but you still get opportunities to edit your town. The manner in which you ship your products/items is different as well.

Overall, there are differences so I think it's worth getting. But I mean, it's not necessary if you have ANB and are enjoying it. I only got SoS because I got sick of ANB.

I see your point. I stopped playing ANB after I got married which never happens when I play a Harvest Moon game.
 
Turned my flax to gold linen cloth and got $$$ through selling them, and won my first conquest in the process! Not sure if I want to hoard the flower and the spice fields since I'm definitely not ready to handle that much work, and I'm aiming for all of Elise's fields which won't be open for a while.

I'm a bit disappointed you can only get a cat on your first year and you'll unlock dogs on your 2nd year, since in older HM games you usually get a dog pretty early and build your friendship with them along with your farm :(

And overall not liking how things unlock slowly. I have to play up to year 4 to unlock everything and by then I would find another game that takes my attention and forget to play the game.

I'll work on unlocking more vendors and play more before giving my impression. I'm in the middle of Summer 1st year atm!
 
Hello, I was talking to a friend on New Leaf last night and she said I am still wandering around her farm and in the Guild on her 'Story of the seasons'! anyone know why? she says when she talks to me I say I love Animals and start listing all my farm animals, weird.

You didn't happen to leave your game on by accident???
 
mags said:
No, as it is a week or so that I visited. I wonder if she didn't close her farm by talking to the guild lady when I had left?

We just met up and both finished the farm tour correctly so see if that makes a difference.
 
So, yesterday afternoon I visited my friends farm with another friend. We all left correctly closing the farm tour. Later on I went on and my friend suggested I walk around town to try and find her, I actually did find her and my other friend too! so I spoke to them both and a thing with their stats came up, it is really good.
 
I want to play this game but as I said in another post I've never played any harvest moon games
