The Harvest Moon Discussion Thread!

[Kaiaa]

Anyways, my golden standard for Harvest Moon games is AWL.

I am a BIIIIG fan of AWL (Another; since I'm a girl). I was just mad that you could only have a girl in the boys version. Anyway, I wish they would come out with another Harvest Moon console game like AWL in which your child grows up and your town changes over time instead of staying the same.

I'm currently playing HM:
ToTT (I'm with Mikhail <3; Hes such a romantic hehe)
HM:Animal Parade (I'm not sure who to marry, maybe Wizard....who do you think I should marry if you've played?) and
HM:Sunshine Islands (Elliot or Vaughn?)

Harvest Moon games are, to me, a way of escaping the real world. I can just get on one of my games and get involved with farming and making friends, fishing, mining, forging, and so much other stuff. I especially love the courtship aspects of the game and having kids. The thing I dislike about many Harvest Moon games however, is that the children don't grow up like in AWL. I miss that, I miss getting old and watching my kid grow up to be whatever he wants to be....ah the nostalgia...

HM:Animal Parade (I'm not sure who to marry, maybe Wizard....who do you think I should marry if you've played?)

You should marry wizard, he's beautiful '0.0' But, that is because I typically like people with heterochromia
On my first file I married Chase, I liked how he cooks and has purple eyes.

I don't play DS harvest moons. IMO they suck.. (don't hate me Dx) However, so far the only one I like is DS cute, mainly because it's kinda like ANWL. I love that game

Harvest Moon was released first on Super Nes.
I count it as being a mainly Nintendo game.
I know there are non-Nintendo system games.
I have only owned the Nintendo systems
I didn't know about other systems having the game until recently.
Natsume even said thier main partner for Harvest Moon is Nintendo.

Love Harvest Moon.
A Wonderful Life was my favorite. I even have it still for my GameCube.
I've also played Another Wonderful Life. I liked using the third controller cheat.

 

[MDofDarkheart]

I don't like hacking or cheating games.

It just seems so wrong to me.

I don't mind duplication type things like in ACCF.

I just wouldn't want to hack my game to earn people's friendship, hack crop growing times, etc.

No offense to those who are hackers and can hack games like that.

I don't mind game guides, walkthroughs, etc though.

Anyway, My favorite games are Animal Parade, Tale of Two Towns, and Tree of Tranquiliy
.I have owned others but I like the graphics on those 3 alot.
I can't wait to see if Natsume brings over Land of Origins and what it's like in real game play!

 

[Happy Mask Salesman]

Land of Origins sounds amazing. I hope it gets localized...

 

[Happy Mask Salesman]

It most likely will be. It has the feel to it that says, "We're aiming for a huge audience"

Besides, this is Natsume. They don't usually hold back on their Harvest Moon releases.

 

[Kaiaa]

I just recently did some research on Land of Origins and I had no idea that they would let you customize what your character looks like! Eyes, hair, skin, clothes ^^ That's exciting and I'm most definitely sure they will localize this game at least next year.

I really liked the things in AWL too. It had a more realistic feel to it and to me it made me feel like I really accomplished something through all of that work. Then getting to see your kid growing up and the town changing, it was really great.

 

[MDofDarkheart]

I will get to see if they do localize it.
I'm on thier Community forums everyday.
I keep checking thier store every week!

 

[Prof Gallows]

I got the fishing rod in my new game, and the fifth fish I caught was the Giant Catfish. =O
waiting for soybeans in the seed shop right now, gonna grow a lot of those.

 

[TheFarmboy]

I love AWL, the game got me into the series.

Think we can see Land of Origin come out this time or Fall of next year?

 

[KCourtnee]

I used to have Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness. Tonight, I'm actually getting a new 3DS and 2 or 3 games tonight, and I'm so gonna get that one! I used to have it sophomore year. Good memories...

Hopefully next year. I'd really like to see it come out in Spring.

 

[MDofDarkheart]

Like I said before.
I'll post when Natsume's site says about localizing HM:Land Of Origins.
I'm one of the people on the forums who is watching their store almost daily.
When I know it, you'll know it.

 

[Prof Gallows]

Hopefully it won't have problems with the memory usage like ToTT does. The 3DS version at least. I have to restart my 3DS every other day in the game so it won't freeze.

 

[MDofDarkheart]

Yes let's hope Land of Origins has better memory use-age than Tale of Two Tales.
Let's also hope that it gets localized but I'll let you all know if it does.
^_^ Another game to wait for a release date for! LOL!
Only it isn't even localized yet.

 

[Prof Gallows]

So I got Reina to full, and I'm only a few away from getting Mako.
but the bigger bed request won't show up. D=

 

[JasonBurrows]

I would really like a Nintendo DS remake of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town.

i'm still waiting for it to be released in australia..
