The Harvest Moon Discussion Thread!

Well, there is a very big animal assortment for one, which to me, is the best part of any Harvest Moon game. Not only that, but there is also a lot of crops to choose from. The bachelors and bachelorettes are pretty much the same as Tree of Tranquility, but there are 4 new additions. For bachelorettes, there is the addition of the witch and the Harvest Goddess, and girls have the option of marrying the Harvest King, or the Wizard. Not only that, but all of the bachelors/ettes all have rivals, which means more rival events and children.
Also, you have the option of getting to pick your child's gender, and you can even choose to have two kids, which I don't think has happened in any Harvest moon. Plus, you get to customize your outfit and your children's.

I'm actually really excited about this game! It looks very fun Does anyone know if it has a multiplayer aspect? Usually I buy games for myself and my girlfriend and I like to buy ones we can play together.

We're both huge fans of HM and AC. :3

 

[Prof Gallows]

Yes, it does have multiplayer aspects. Crop sharing and.. something else I think.
Not really sure on it though.

Neato! Time for more research of games instead of actual work work!

Any particular reason for it being good?

UNBLAND characters, pretty good artwork, pretty unique, and doesnt LAG TO DEATH like ToTT.
The storyline is pretty good. Unlike ToT (Tree of Tranquility, direct prequel), the storyline is actually needed to do 3/4ths of the stuff in the game.
Plus, the ending of the full game (Main Storyline is summoning Harvest King, and to unlock the New Game +, you need a child.) is much sadder/

I never played Animal Parade, but after looking at it, it looks really nice.
I'm not too into taking care of animals in HM games, I prefer tending to crops and plants, but the big assortment of crops in it looks really nice. If I could I'd see about getting it, but I can't.

You should give A New Beginning a chance, from all the videos I've watched it looks like it's 300 times more fun than ToTT.

The doll bonuses are extra cool... My brother is getting it.

I am still saving up for Prof. Layton. The 1 top thing on my list.

I'm really confused, the games I want that already have a release or out already are Professor Layton, Dream Drop Distance and A New Beginning. I'm not gonna get all three... I love Professor Layton, DDD is already out so I guess I can get it whenever I want, plus I have 358/2 days, and ANB has dating and customization... hard to pass up....

My sis might get me PL, and if she does, well I guess I can get ANB!

Prof. Layton and W2 are very close... My mom will let me get either, and I still dont know... Pokemon has really gotten boring for me now.

Plus, the plushies are really adorable for some reason.... I bet a lot of people will have trouble deciding between yak or cow...

So I just watched Last Specter ending... Totally did not think it was that sad. Lets hope Loosha is happily swimming :') I was pretty close to crying also :-(

 

[MDofDarkheart]

I am getting White 2.
Pre-ordered this already!

I plan to get AC3DS when it comes out.
I am hoping for a March 2013 release date so I can ask my family for it/the cash to get it as a Birthday gift.

I am getting ANB with Yak Plushie bonus!
Pre-ordered this already!

 

[Volvagia]

My birthday's in June... not much hope to get these as a present xD

There's something called Chocolate Jam in this game... o3o In the Japanese one anyways. Thy'll probably translate it to chocolate spread, like nutella

Oh, and if anyone wants to marry Yuri: http://fogu.com/hm11/marriage/yuri.php

and Witch Princess http://fogu.com/hm11/marriage/witch-princess.php

 

[MDofDarkheart]

I am planning to marry Sanjay/Celka as a girl now.
I think I'll got for either Witch Princess or Michelle as a boy.

 

[mattmagician]

New game looks really good, can't wait to play it.

 

[Kaiaa]

I am planning to marry Sanjay/Celka as a girl now..

I doubt I'll play as a boy but as a girl I'm not sure who I'll marry anymore. In all honesty, and I have been thinking this for a while now....I don't like any of the guys One is too feminine for my taste in a partner, one is a jerk, one looks like a child, and the rest look kinda girly (I know they aren't wearing dresses but the clothes kinda remind me of dresses). I may just marry Soseki since he looks more manly than the others. I did want to marry Neil but I don't like how mean he is all the time, supposedly even after marriage.

New game looks really bad, CAN wait to play it

 

[Volvagia]

I'm only gonna play as a girl, gonna get Allen, Rod and Neil to blue heart, and then wait for Neil's reverse confession. IDK why; I always like raising them all to the max before dating and then pick one. Sanjay, Segoku and Amir would take too long and I'm an impatient person so yeah.

Oh and Kaiaa, Neil is a jerk at first, then after you start dating he's just a little rude but I think after marriage he's completely nice (but ofc he still has a tiny bit of rudeness). So he isn't really 'mean' after marriage. And his blushing face is adorable!

Neil is definitely cute imo. I hope it's true that he turns nice after marriage cause if so, I'd marry him.
