The Harvest Moon Discussion Thread!

That was incredibly hard to read but I think I understood most of it, thanks MD!
 
Here is some random info :)

-You can travel to 3 different places through the Travel Agency- Snow Country, Ancient Ruins and a Sakura (Cherry Blossom) place. Here you can find rare and exclusive items.
-There is a mine, where you can find a lot of materials. It's better than the mine in TTOTT. Here's more info.
-After your married (idk if this is for boys only) you can place an order with spouse two times a week (there are certain days) and then they will go to the mountain and collect all, if not most, of the items there and put them in your fridge or item box.
-Food and other things will not go bad! :D They still have the 5 star ranking, but it won't say 'super fresh', 'getting bad', etc.
-You can customize your town however you want. You can move fields, animal houses, people's houses, your own house... and more!
-On every 11th of each month, there will be a Garden Tour, and you will decorate your Garden Exhibition place, and the town will come see it. After they would pay how much they feel it's worth seeing. So you should take the time to decorate it with fancy things!
-Fields I believe are the easiest things to make. All you do is buy soil (which is FREE) and make it. Later you unlock higher quality fields, which make your crops grow faster.
-There are three building styles- Europeon, Japanese and Traditional.
-You can customize the inside of your house.
-The main storyline is to bring life back to echo village. There will be 5 main quests (some are like ship 10 honey, ship 30 yams, etc) and after you finish all 5, you can rename your village!
-Each contest is divided into categories. Crops can include vegetables, flowers, etc. Same for food. And the cooking contests aren't luck-based like in TTOTT, whee you can still lose even if you have a 5-star dish.
-You can choose you wedding attire! For girls-a cute dress or mature dress & two different veils. For boys- White, grey or black tuxedo.
-You can share meals with your spouse, and I believe even when you're dating, you still get one free daily meal.
-If you go to the doctor, they will give you a shot (which costs 1,000 G) that will replenish all your stamina.
-You get a pitchfork to start with. (I think it cleans your animals waste lol)
-You still have a 6-character limit for naming your character and animals...
-If you talk to Neil you can go to Animal Land. If you leave your livestock there for 50+ game hours, they will permanently produce great items. (Like great wool) You can't bring chickens, so you have to make your chickens win the chicken festival.
-Money is very easy to make, but to be fair, it's not very important in the game. Building things relies heavily on materials like lumber, stone, etc.

Well that's it! I have more info but I can't think about it....

Cool even though I knew half the stuff in there xD but some of them were so cool I think Im gonna get this game! But I also wanted to get Pokemon White Version 2.
 
All of the customization options are great, but it seems like things are way too easy from that description..

hopefully it just sounds that way.
 
I think the game will be obviously more easier than Rune Factory games. With the moving house with your hands thing and how weird it is to have 3D graphics on a portable HM, I probably am not gonna get this. Its my opinion though.
 
Well money is easy to make but I think that's just about it. Everything else I believe will be normal.

Yeah. In Animal Parade it was so hard to earn that 25000G for the Level 2 home (for ME at least :P). It took me 3 seasons on my first play through. I hope things are easier know. Even though it took me like only 2-3 seasons to get Candace at 10 hearts.

So courting isn't easier or harder? I kinda wanted the courting to be harder. HM has gotten more lighter than AWL this time around. You don't suffer through looking at your cows topple over or having Nina die or whatever. HM needs to be more harder, especially for me.
 
I am glad I could get those parts translated at all.
Alot of it didn't translate to english well.
Though all the crops did. *Smiles*

I agree. I'm not sure about courting, it seems the same. but once you get to a blue heart you can date one of the bachelor/ettes.

I'm going after Neil.

Oh there are gonna be alot of changes but I didn't see anything about the animals/people not dying.
*Is too excited over the bonus for pre-order.*
Yak Plushie! Can't wait! Must have it!

For my files I plan to see who is easiest/hardest to get.
I'm hoping you 2 save files for the game.
I'd love to have a 3rd save file but that would be asking abit much.
Anyway if we get 2 files, I will play one for each gender.

Here is a marriable canidate list!

Boy: Yuri, Michelle, Iroha, Felicia, Tina, and Witch Princess.

Girl: Amir, Neil, Rod, Allen, Sanjay, and Sengoku.

The names above might be different from final english version game.
 
is there a option to choose the look of the character in the newest harvest moon? COOL!
i only have some old versions of Harvest Moon, so i missed a lot of the new features

The yak plushie is adorable :3 I wonder if we can preorder it on Amazon, or only Gamestop?

I head there's only 2 saves...

I think Neil would be easy to befriend because he likes animal products and treats.

And Sengoku sounds like Son Goku from Dragon Ball, lol
 
www.natsume.com
I will be getting my copy through them directly once thier pre-order form goes up!
I so want that yak!
My horse and alpaca plushies want a new friend!

Sengoku is a report not a fighter though. Lol, though that name does sound like Son Goku.

My boy choices are Amir, Sanjay, and Segoku.
I just like those 3 for some reason.
The other guys look nice too.

My girl choices are Witch princess, Michelle and Yuri.
Though the other girls are nice looking too.

To answer a question I saw.
Yes you can customize your character from gender to hair, clothing etc.
Heck if you look on Youtube they have outfits wear you can crossdress the genderd or make them fully the gender you pick.
Girls wearing guys clothing and vice versa or not buy you can buy all the clothing no matter which gender you are.
Wearing to opposite genders clothing does not change your character's gender though.
 
I'm excited for this! I never officially bought a HM game. My friend let me borrow HM64, and never took it back. I played the HELL out of it. And ANB struck me with interest. Plus, I want that adorable yak!
 
I'm gonna make my character wear boys clothes! :D Of course she's gonna have some girl clothes though. ;)

I dunno where I could pre-order... Natsume doesn't ship to Canada do they? :( On their facebook they said you can get the yak plushie at Gamestop (one of the places)... I'm not too sure about getting it from Gamestop. I hope they put it on Amazon though.
 
I'll going to buy all the clothing for both characters if there are two save files.
That way when I'm not dating I can just be goofy by wearing the opposite genders clothing!

me too! I also heard that the character's have their fave outfit. so if you talk to them when your wearing it (I think you have to be dating) they will make a comment on it. Like if your wearing ruby red china and if you talk to Neil, he will comment on how your legs are practically bare and to stop hanging around him in that outfit. xD
 
I pre-ordered my game through EB Games.
My parent's have a fear of online shopping.

Pre-order bonus are through stores or Natsume's online store only.
Amazon might not include the Yak Plushie in the pre-order butdon't qoute me on that because they may or may not.
 
If only I lived closer to EB Games... the closest one to me is still pretty far. =A=

Really? That sucks! I hope they do, but even if they don't, I'd still get it. I already have a lot of plushies. :D
