wow i wish Stardew Valley didn't make every new Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons look like a fucking joke. are they even trying?
yes i know this is a remake. no its not enough.
It's not like the old Friends of Mineral Town is supposed to be an ugly clunky mess that needs remaking
ngl the game actually look pretty decent in motion
and they really, literally forgot to enabled the shadow in a fucking magazine screenshot
I'm going to buy multiple copies just to trigger originalcucks.
AAAAAAA
ざんねんね、もう優れてたよ。
character portraits are a bit weird and the 3d kinda looks like a mobile game. I mean it's still mineral town so it'll be good, but oh well
looks a bit ugly, the style they are using in Nobita no Bokujou Monogatari looks a lot better
they use the same engine it seem, just different perspective and filter
and true, the Doraemon spin-off look nicer to the eyes
It's funny how in a game that is 16 years old, there are features like horse racing and playing frisbee with your dog. Where stardew valley makes animals and pets useless. In fact, stardew makes them less than useless, as you can feed them automatically, put them outside and inside automatically, and never have to fear coyotes or bad weather doing them harm.
Stardew distilled animals into pointlessness.
静香と結婚できないのが残念だよ。
I feel like the game really lost its identity here. If someone didn’t tell me this was FoMT I would barely recognize it for that
結婚様子がなく残念ながらもさ〜アートスタイルとかゲームプレイなどが結構いいんですね。動物や植物の育ちが楽しい限り、いい牧場物語だと思う
あぁ間違えた、結婚要素* ごめんね
買おうと思っているんだけど、多くの農業ゲームが発売していてしまう。
>try out stardew
>shitty town
>shitty villagers
>worse mechanics than the 90s games
>tumblr art

ちょっと恥ずかしくても近頃このいわゆるクサげにはまってるんだ草
>that art style
What the fuck were they thinking?
I wan to play SotS but I hate the Doreamon characters in there. They look out of place.
Stardew is shit.
What would the english title be with all the Natsume shit?
lol
Play the ds versión instead
** and kill the mayor**
Stardew has great farming mechanics and the other resrouce gathering shit is really nice, like honey, and the mining is really good without being Rune Factory. The biggest issue I have with Stardew is the social life and NPCs generally fucking suck, never say more than a few lines, and nobody else ever marries. Little changes and it's stagnant. Kent comes back and a few people get token lines when Joja Mart closes, but that's it.
Man, even she's all soulless and shit, Popuri remains best girl
Looks like shit.
No effort on the models, textures and what's worse, no effort on the portraits.
How the hell does SV have good farming
You plant shit and pick it up. As far as I could tell there's no soil quality or anything to consider so crop quality would be random.
>Never even seen Kant because dropped the game twice in the first year
Does any HM have that at all? I'm asking because I haven't played anything beyond DS. DS did have laying multiple layers of seeds down to improve crops, that was cool.
They were thinking "We want the dialate audience".
>red eyes
>loves weeds
That can't be Popuri, what the fuck did they do to my girl?
I really like how the newer artstyle still keeps the chibi proportions of the characters. They look great. To hell with the soulless posters, say that all you want about the in game engine but not about the artstyle.
Yes, and that doujin with her dressed as a bunny girl is fucking perfect
Story of seasons ToT has something similar with seed quality. Rune factory has soil quality and a more basic seed quality. Never played any others.
a lot, actually
almost every modern SoS/RF have soil related mechanic
hell, RF frontier's mechanic was so autistic people just opt to cheat instead
>HM64
>never liked Ellie because short hair is shit

What a story.
It's Popuri user. Don't tell me that you haven't even finished your hiragana studies
>3D shit
Wow and DROPPED
Good thing the switch is now more hackable than ever so I don't have to spend money on this soulless trash, all they had to do was remake it in 2D
Stardew Valley killed harvest moon
that funko pop artstyle is completely degenerate
That's awesome. Been wanting to grab a SotS, is there a good version out for Switch or are they only getting the Doreamon shit?
After seeing this video, I admit it does look better than I gave it credit for, but I still don't care for the chibi models. Might get it if it's not expensive.
There's apparently been an SoS in development for some years but I don't recall any further news about it.
RF5 is also supposed to be releasing in a year or so. RF4 is getting a port with some new content this year, too.
what's your Yea Forumserdict?
Hey please fuck off no one cares about Harvest Moon.
Newfag.
>They gave Ann a dress
RUINED
shit shit shit shit good
cute ok PERFECT cute ruined
Actually
Oh wait, the first one is Jeff? WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING
Popuri, Cliff, Ellen, and Rick look fine. What the fuck did they do to Carter and Karen though?
What in the fuck did they do to Carter.
Doraemon Story of Seasons looks better than this soulless low effort 3D garbage
Buy story of seasons, do not buy harvest moon
youtube.com
It's on Marvelous's youtube so I think it's just normal Bokujo Monogatari
user, these are both SoS
well, not by Hakama tho
bokumono.com
official site. Non-disclosed studio under Marvelous. Hakama didnt update their site, so its not THE SoS switch
I've asked a million times, is there a regular SoS available for Switch? I just... really find the Doreamon character designs unsettling with SoS artstyle.
not (yet)
Hakama is working on the supposedly SoS switch, RF4S and RF5
this one show no studio tho
It's a 1 by 1 remake of the fucking map
Why can't I romance the kappa?
since no-one is doing it, i'll dump the high res villagers on the main site
only 2 of the bachelor
Damnit, has this been what the team who made trio of towns been up to for the past 3 years? What a waste if so.
Also, werent they going to make trio of towns for switch? has that been canceled?
Not a big fan of the art style, in fact i hate it. Trio of towns was good, why change it to this garbage kiddy funko pop garbage?
Looks bad. Probably gonna play RF4 on switch instead
She looks like that girl from Grand Baazar
only 2 of the bachelors - bachelorettes are reviewed
>dumb auto-sent
Because the original also had chibi designs.
Like, lmao, the way you people speak it makes it sound like HM FoMT was some ultra realistic farmer simulator with gritty graphics.
____ ___ _____
It's a shame but this game cannot come to the US. Natsume owns all names and the designs rights.
and thats it
your western tumblr indieshit ripoff will ALWAYS be dogshit compared to the real thing.
Marvelous already confirmed it's coming out in the west. I do wonder if they can call it "X of Mineral Town" though or if Natsume owns the name.
but that's not Popuri
I'm conflicted
I read somewhere it's called Story of Seasons Return to Mineral Town or some shit like that.
They fucking ruined Karen
No buy for me
Everything looks cute so far, will definitely buy this game. Haven't done some comfy farming in a while and stardew didn't really click to me. I don't know why some people are complaining about the graphics when HM games isn't really about the graphics. I think my waifu Popuri looks cuter than before.
play a superior game instead
>Just Funko Pop my shit up
Who the fuck thought that looks good?
wtf, she is not Karen
I wonder why they changed her so much
>highlighted hair = delinquent = bad for a kid game
Probably some stupid logic like this
>Yes, you can still harvest things
>Yes, you can still farming animals, fishing and mining
>Yes, you can still marry
>Yes, you can still have babies
Obviously? It wouldn't be much of a remake if you couldn't do a bunch of stuff from the original game. Next, you'll be saying "Yes, you can still walk around town and rest in the hot springs" as if this was every in question.
This one actually looks good. I wonder how marriage is going to work (if it even will work) given that it's an existing franchise. I mean, they probably have enough characters to work with, but I don't know if a 50+ year old franchise would suddenly be okay with turning all their characters into marriage candidates for the main character of the series.
WHERE IS ELLI
Getting pounded offscreen by the doctor.
Why would the church priestess be involved with the town doctor?
well, playing the thing right now (in jp)
and while relationship is still in, there's no marriage
Why are we pretending FoMT looked good?
Are there original girls? Because I can't think of many ones from Doraemon besides Shizuka and Giant's sister
For a GBA game it looked wonderful.
yeah, a bunch of OCs
lwhose heart Nobita just broke all over again. is he fucking Adol?
>can date all the girls but never need to make the commitment locking me into one of them
Sounds like how I played all the previous games.
How many GBA games have you played? None?
It looks worse than most. Pokemon, Battle Network, Golden Sun, pic related, and countless others. There was a distinct lack of sprite variety, buildings were more uniform than they were in the PS1 version, and hardware wasn't the cause.
Because it did, the only problem was that filter I assume is only there because of the gba's shitty screen.
Cool
>shop owner
I bet this one is off range though.
JESUS CHRIST! He really let himself go.
This reminds me of a story.
>watching brother play HM64, married Ann
>Sets all his chickens outside in summer since it'll be sunny the next day
>Harris comes by and invites him to his wedding with Maria
>"Oh, man. Harris is my bro. Good going, dude!"
>Next day, hurricane
>Day after that, mass chicken funeral
>Reset, but the weather's already determined and you can't skip someone else's wedding
>all those chickens he lovingly named are dead for good.
He hated Harris after that.
Wait, harris was a policeman all along? I thought he was a mailman.
He checked you late in the night to see if everything was alright.
well everyone is off-ranged
Nobita just went on all the adventure, charmed all those heart, and in the end returned to his true waifu Shizuka
tb h, i dont mind the lack of marriage. the game is comfy enough
the performance is real bad tho, esp when your farm has a lot of crops. they did say that they are making a patch
hearty KEK
remind me of 1 time in RF4 too
>had a weird habit of saving after i wake up, not b4 bed
>it was summer
>didnt notice it's hurricane season
>saved
>tfw my crop
Thanks Aquaticus
>Capybaras
Day one buy
My friend has a RF4 savefile where his barn is nothing but those little girl monsters (Red, Blue, Green...)
Should I be worried?
What the fuck else are you going to put in your barn? The honey-making hornets?
ask him where's his Ambrosia
call the police if he doesnt have at least 1
Yeah... she was kino
That's katakana
Seconded. She is still best girl.
>super chibi shit
fucking yikes even Rf4S looks better
>wanting someone who lust the doctor and keeps working at the clinic when you marry her
is stablished that cucking is done because the husband want to fuck guys but he uses his wife as a proxy. So you are a cuck, and also a faggot.
you forgot one
>give Popuri weeds from my farm every day
>we become best friends
StarCuck Valley is literally homosexual western Marxist liberal nonesense
>Capybaras
Since when? I've been out of the loop for a long time. I wish to cuddle a capy irl
I rarely like blonde characters, but when I do they are can't haves, ffs
Because it unironically did. I'm a sucker for good use of pastelle colors.
Since Trio of Towns added a bunch of tropical things, like south american crops and animals
>genki tomboy alt feMC
>tomboy
She looks pretty feminine here
Capy is the new hotness in japan lately
when did they add penguin tho?
I think he meant the one in the yellow hoodie
Pretty sure user is talking about the yellow coat girl.
This guy gets it.
nah the 4 is the protags
seemingly there're 2 design of each gender
Jesus christ, go outside. This website has broken your brain
It doesn't look too bad in motion.
Didn't even notice and I'm kinda mad now for reasons
chill user, have some of 3oT's best girl
>No image
Are you trying to tell us something?
oops
>Supermarket moves in that provides affordable goods for poorer people like Pam
>Supermarket is the bad guy
Stardew is so shitty.
It's almost like you managed to read my mind, that's precisely what I needed.
Who is the silhouette?
I never played it, I only buy retro Japanese games.
They know me at all the BookOffs in Chiba because I'll buy a big stack of CIB Famicom and Super Famicom games.
Now if only the PS1 stuff they get wasnt Japanese shovelware
Why does the stupid Nobita spin-off look so much better than a remake of one of their most beloved games in the franchise?
Her design is shit.
Confirmed coming to the west
gematsu.com
Why did Natsume stop translating Bokumono games again? and did their own HM spin off?
>Nintendo
Gross, no wonder it looks like fucking garbage
What? 80% of HM is on Nintendo
Somebody ring up Polygon so we can shame the game for only having two playable genders and no same sex marriages, we can fuck this game up just like we did to tomodatchi life!
Isn't she an alcoholic?
The in game models aren't the real issue it's the fucking character art that has no soul.
Do we know how much it will cost?
I think it looks ok but also pretty cheap, so I don't think I could shell out $60 for it.
Fuck stardew faggots. go jump off a cliff you pretentious indie cunts
>can walk on the crops
>which means you can safely plant, on and pick up the middle crop in the remake
RUINED
5.800 Yen, so roughly 60 burgerdollar
for reference, the Doraemon spin-off is 6.100
it can be cheaper west-ward tho, like how XC2 was 8.300 Yen, and only 60 dollar
Improvement overall imo
it's on switch
It will cost $60
And that's exactly what I mean. The artstyle is great, keeping the chibi and friendly vibe similar to the original while changing things up a bit to not be the same game (for like the 4th time). The in game models are ok but the rest of the environments could be leagues better.
Fuck off with your "muh soul" crap which is literally just codename for "I want to hate it because its different but I have no argument as to why". If your only complaint is that it looks different then just go play the original.
Because Doraemon is one of the most beloved things in Japan as a whole in comparison.
man. this art. i hope elli is unharm
wtf my girl karen is ruined.
when I was a lad playing this game I gave her a bottle of wine every day to court her, even after we got married. I even gave her wine while she was pregnant with our child. good times.
Marvelous decided to do their own localisation and publishing in house. Allegedly it was a mutual agreement with no ill thought, despite people villainizing Natsume, and they knew full well Natsume will use the Harvest Moon name for their own projects.
Natsume still seems pretty shady in how they marketed their games though. There was an anniversary some time ago, during which they used boxarts of previous Marvelous games to advertise their own, obviously trying to trick people into thinking it's by the same developers. I wonder if that's why Marvelous decided to do a remake of one of their most popular titles in the west in the first place, to help spread the word that Story of Seasons is Harvest Moon.
You can, they just have hidden hearts if I remember correctly.
If you ask me, the highlighted hair was the main reason why I never liked really Karen as much as the other girls, looks wise. It was unnatural and made her design look dumb. Not saying the new one is an improvement, but at least it doesn't have that same flaw imo.
well, if they slap a texture filter on it like the Doraemon game, it would be nice
fyi, the Doraemon game has barebone, flat color models too, but the filter makes it look great
While I like the new artist's work on the previous games, I still much prefer the original art style for FoMT, it doesn't feel right changing them up so much
Anyway I wonder if they'll keep rival marriages, or back out like a bitch because some losers don't like the fact that they can get cucked/would rather have X characters hook up rather than winning their favorite for themselves
The girls look worse but the bachelors look leagues better so far, especially Rick who is actually attractive now.
This artwork is an abomination against god
>I wonder if that's why Marvelous decided to do a remake of one of their most popular titles in the west in the first place, to help spread the word that Story of Seasons is Harvest Moon.
Why would they try to do that, when the fucking remake looks made by Natsume
Not really
I agree, but I think that even the Doraemon game could look much better. I want an SoS game for the Switch in the style of the Wii ones. Those were great games and look way better than both of these games.
There's no way they're keeping the game as is
255 floors of spring mine is fucking insane , grinding to mysterile tools and getting cursed tools is insane , they don't even spawn most of the time on the right floors
This game is only playable with save states , earning money is a huge pain in the dick unless you do broaches plus basket shenanigans
Ah yes, I too remember when Harvest Moon wasn't chibi and childish looking.
When we will have our epic and gritty Harvest Moon games back?
The only way I could get through it was by Action Replaying that fucker. Otherwise it was impossible.
These chars look nothin like the originals
Original artwork is peak late 90s anime comfy
So what abbreviation are we using now that the game is being called FoMT again? SoSFoMT? FoMT2?
I didn't action replay but I did play it again recently , had to save state with emulator on a constant basis
unironically look better in motion, just watch the trailer
as long as its smooth and responsive, which is clearly shown in the trailer, im A Ok
its not Hakama's work btw (the one behind modern SoS and RF), just a quick stir of the water in preparation for SoS switch, like RF4S for RF5
Story of Seasons: Reunion in Mineral Town. So RiMT
>no cute overalls
>ponytail instead of braid
That’s not Ann. It can’t be. T-they wouldn’t dare.
user, this is how Natsume's HMs look.
I mean, this one looks kinda disappointing, but it could've been far worse if it was Natsume.
Only the marriage candidates look good, even if they don't match their original characters well. I'm sad that Carter isn't cute anymore.
re:FoMT
or just use the console name like as always, FoTMs
This is cool and all but wheres the remake of the best game in the series, A Wonderful Life? That game is comfy as fuck.
They could tone down the mine without getting rid of it altogether. I just don’t want a fucking rock that you smack with a hammer once a day like in the new games.
I like the character designs more than Rune Factory, but I wish it had the Rune Factory world design. The low poly style doesn't look too good.
Don't like the redesigns at all.
Can't say I'm impressed with anything I'm seeing.
>Not made by Natsume
Thats at least a somewhat good sign.
Although personally Trio of Towns was fucking garbage from the first month I slogged through.
You exaggerate, besides the sickle getting mythril tools wasn't that big of a deal, and the game let you easily save and reload for whenever that's needed
Gray, Trent, Kai, [New].
Mary, Elli, Ann, [New].
>best
It’s definitely not the best game, it’s slow as fuck past the first year, which means it needs a remake far more than FoMT does.
This is said to be the first in the reunion series.
I would say AWL and 64 are guaranteed. Perhaps 64 will have designs close to the original.
I do nt exaggerate cursed tools literally don't always spawn on floor 39 49 etc check the wiki. The winter mine is aids
Why is this child dressed as a bumble bee
>Dress and Shorts
Acceptably tomboyish
This design actually fits her Mineral Town character better than her repurposed 64 design. She's a fashionable girl who works at a supermarket in a tidy town, not a rebellious girl who loves at a vinyard in a rural village.
What you said is doable, although pretty difficult. I've got all blessed tools several times back in the day (without savestates, but with a lot of save scumming).
What really is insane is having to save 100 mil for the village house or having to be married for 50 fucking years to get the mountain shack, which is also the only way to get the gem that lets you see your stamina and fatigue.
which game has the best Goddess, and why is it Hero of Leaf Valley?
>cute
>graceful
>actually moved in with you
>1st month
that's the problem of the game. Once you manage to slog thru 15th summer, the game picks up, hard
Aw man, i miss Friends of Mineral Twon so much.
I literally spends a thousand hours playing this shit.
Stardew just cant fill the void
Where is Gray’s fucking hat? That was like the most significant part of his design.
Because mice are passe
New characters or someone who's not shown yet from the old cast... can't show them up already if its October release
>mary with pigtails
Sure, why not.
>64
If we ever get a remake of 64 it will be years and years from now. It’s too similar to FoMT.
I like it. Still look very soulful even if it's different.
>29: Cursed Fishing Rod
>39: Cursed Hoe
>49: Cursed Axe
>59: Cursed Hammer
>69: Cursed Watering Can
>79: Cursed Sickle
I forgot what a clusterfuck this was. Specially when you have to save scum your way through it to minimize energy usage, or just emulate and save state for days.
I'm pretty certain I just ended up using one of the codes to get the tools to spawn in my bag instead of going through the mine.
safety from The Mouse
She loves wine, but I don't think her drinking is as bad in Mineral Town as it is in 64.
Which is my theory for why the designs are different.
But will they let our kid and rival kids grow up?
Or maybe they'll just reuse a lot of the assets from this game and release it shortly after.
Probably because he doesn't jerk off horses in this one, except when he goes to that one horse race. I miss it, though. gonna marry him anyway
hopefully we still have rival romances and the rivals have kids too like in AP
He was designed and implemented as a mailman for 64, then his design was repurposed as a policeman for BTN.
It has a great style. This new one looks like it's a farmville game
SOULLESS
>it's possible to marry Ellie by first year autumn
>Elli keeps her apron dress, complete with the big ribbon
>Karen's sporty tanktop vest is replaced by ugly hoop sleeves
I love they they didn't dare to touch best girl's design
The localized title isn't going to be the same as the JP title, if this graphic makes it to the final product.
>no one talk about the music yet
i like it. really keep the good ol' 80-90s anime feel to it
What if they fucked up Ellie's face though
That horse hat was important for his design in 64 where he worked on a farm, and he was cold and hid his expression behind the brim. It was never meant to belong to a whiny blacksmith.
Is this being done by natume or the original developer?
It doesn't, it was a low budget GBA game and it shows in comparison to other GBA games.
And you only think it looks like Farmville because you have been pavloved by Yea Forums to bark at anything bright colored, which will make you bark at basically most HM games. Same thing with chibi = funko.
You people are going to try to sink the one chance this series has at regaining some western relevancy because of some fucking delusional perception of the earlier games in the series and fucking meme opinions from Yea Forums, fuck you.
the marriage candidates' faces are fine thus far
esp Pop's . she look soft as fuck
On Ann, it looks like a long vest or tunic, plus capris. Not a dress.
How are they gonna advertise this game? They can't use the Harvest Moon name in marketing to say it's a remake of a beloved game.
Original devs, Marvelous
og
Original, though I think I read they handed development to another studio.
switch only?
There are multiple options for what to dress your kid as. On the website you can see costumes for bee, sheep, chick, etc.
If they can fuck up Ann, they can fuck up Ellie.
Is the original artist dead or what, can't they ask him/her to draw the character again.
>The changes seem to be there to make the designs fit their roles better
Like, for real, I am starting to get hopeful for a 64 remake with designs closer to the OG.
To get tools to mysterile you have to spam them for literally hours in real life
I know because I did this last week . All tools have to be mysterile before cursed ones spawn
Marina is the best Goddess as you say, although I really like the StH design as well.
they can just stow away the HM part, tb h
and you can still do "from the original creator of Friend of Mineral Town", which is actually the OG name back in Jp too, so Natsume has no cake in this
Ann best girl
I like AP Goddess best, but StH/HoLV Goddess was fun, if thoroughly overshadowed by its best girl, Alice
Its a remake of Friends of Mineral Town on the GBA
Thank goodness we don't have to see her die again, right?
They wouldn't add that event to the game, right?
HoLV had really top tier girls all around. StH too.
Ask him/her, Igusa Matsuyama
>(2012 interview) Eurogamer: What goes into the visual and character design for Harvest Moon?
Yasuhiro Wada: First, we set up the characters, create character profiles based on sex, age groups, occupations and personalities. We outline each one, and then we give that information to a character designer called Igusa Matsuyama, and he or she - their gender is a secret! - will make a sketch of the character. Then we'll do a brainstorming session, put in this, take out that, and that's how we come up with the character designs.
blog.goo.ne.jp
>$60 dollars for a remake of a GBA game
What the fuck are they thinking? This should be ~$30 at most.
She didn't die in Mineral Town
Then they would have my permission to die
you're a dirty casual if you never married gourmet
>gender is a secret
So a woman.
>make the perfect witch design
>use the inferior one in the game after that
>married for 50 years
How fucking long did the devs think people were gonna play this game?
It's a guy.
Can you get gay married in this game? Gray was such a hot piece of ass and he was totally bicurious in the first game.
Marrying gourmet is arguably harder
>had not only 1, but 2 hardmode waifu
man HoLV was the shit. fun minigames overall too. its a shame people didnt receive it well
Was there a femc in the original game?
Begone Fujo
I kind of liked the grind, but floors having a chance to not even spawn a ladder to the next floor is 100% bullshit.
Also having to bring your basket with you was a hassle. (if you wanted to actually keep anything good you found)
Isn't she just slightly harder to marry like Elise?
Kind of. There were two games. Friends of mineral town and more friends of
Mineral town. One had male mc one had female mc. Think Pokémon silver and Pokémon crystal
HoLV is in my top 3 Bokumono. I love it.
>use the inferior one in the game after that
Huh? Story of Seasons didn't have a witch character.
The girls is from More Friends of Mineral Town.
Originally, the male and female protagonists were in separate versions of the game.
Back to Nature had only a boy protag.
For Girl was the same game, but with a girl protag.
Friends of Mineral Town, remake of BTN with only boy.
More Friends of Mineral Town, remake of FG with only girl.
Boy and Girl, port of BTN and FG combined.
Now, Reunion at Mineral Town includes both the boy and girl on the same cart, and has two design options for each gender.
well
>her favorite stuffs are rare ores, jewel, expensive shits that you have to dig pretty deep to get
>have to do all of the story event almost perfectly
>choose the right answers, too
she's not that hard in hindsight, just harder than your average bachelorettes
Her niece use her lolified design
>actually did all the work and waiting to marry, and reverse proposal Elise and unlock all of the trading centers
>but then save got deleted
My soul still hurts
ToT and AP are the only games in the series that had a different artist from Matsuyama right? It's not surprising that Matsuyama sticks to his own witch.
all right boys, what's the best harvest moon game?
Hm, just noticed how her looms like marisa from 2hu.
In late 90s and early 2000s it wasn't uncommon to only buy a few games a year
imagine if they actually add Forget Me Not Valley and their character.
>like hell they would add content like that when they half assed the design
cant decide on a best, tb h
my favorites are
>FoMT
>AWL
>HoLV
>3oT
>DS Cute let you be a "lesbian"
>only in the Japanese version though
bros we gotta end homophobia so we can have lesbians in our games
If I remember correctly, aren't you stuck with them unless you get them to Blessed? As in, you can't unslot them?
I hope this is bait. The memes about stardew valley actually convinced me to play that piece of shit.
I mean I'd they really want to be authentic there are some FMN Valley characters in FoMT though it only appears for those who connect their game to their gamecube
The AP/ToT artist was so good, I wish they’d bring them back.
>hours
try minutes. I just watch some youtube movie while keep pressing b button in the hotel so I can spam free water.
Correct
They're new marriage candidates. It doesn't say if they're completely new characters though.
Ruby appears in Kai's event. (as guest, no dialogue)
>never had another Harvest God again
anyone else get the saddest loneliest feeling from playing harvest moon games?
They'd have to have the characters in there without the connectivity aspect since there's nothing to connect to.
And didn't they straight up burn through all your stamina at once?
user they need to add online hub somewhere
Everyone is only gay if you're trying to be gay
You did something wrong
You didn't kill the mayor.
Your dog did.
Shame I didn't like the game much, but I loved the designs. Maybe I'll give it another try, I did bring out my Wii again recently.
Oh god it better not be some timed event bullshit.
What if one of the new marriage candidates is Manna's daughter that came back to town? Or was she married?
Is that fucking Jeff in the top left?
Don't tell me they did that to Jeff.
What if they use SoS or Trio's cooking system
Yeah they did but you can go to a festival and spam the fishing rod and axe without having to worry about stam, you have infinite stamina in those areas
64. My other favorites include BTN, HoLV, and 3oT.
An objective ranking is hard to produce wirh this series because so many individual aspects of each game can be hit or miss and a lot comes down to personal preference.
I actually didn't like that they turned her into an innkeepers daughter, but kepter her dressed like a farmer's daughter.
I would've welcomed this change in BtN, so I'm fine with it now.
Yup, that's Jeff
Carter has it much worse, but he's also pretty bad.
Please no
None of that shit, or crop quality levels and sizes
Yeah I remember as much, but if you equiped it outside of that time, you'd be fucked right?
So they are keeping Kappa a marriage option, right?
No. They make me feel warm and relaxed. I get a slightly lonesome feeling from SNES, 64, and STH, probably just from very precious old nostalgia for playing them in the dark when I was younger, but it's still a good sort of lonely feeling.
I hope they won't fuck up the winter theme.
youtube.com
Fuck this shit.
You don't do this to my drunk wife.
Worse, you need to get the recipe first before making them.
Aja. We don't know much about her, other than the fact that Zack liked her before she left.
More importantly, are they keeping the Gourmet as a marriage option
What the hell is this new artstyle. I can barley tell who anyone is. I can tell Popuri just because of pink hair and the Harvest Goddess because of hwere she is but that's it.
no it has no more soul
Who's grand bazaar artist?
I thought Zack's a cuck for Popuri's mom?
Is it that big of a deal? To bless the tools most of them are either use them 255 times or bless them 10 times at church . I guess if you had crops planted it would suck but you don't have to equip the tool as soon as you find it
FoMT, BTN, and 64.
The Snes one is the best
Best graphics
Best Atmosphere
Best Map
Charming all around
FIGHT ME!
>You people are going to try to sink the one chance this series has at regaining some western relevancy because of some fucking delusional perception of the earlier games
>"WHAT, YOU, THE FANS WHO HAVE STUCK WITH THIS FRANCHISE, WANT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT A REMAKE OF A GAME THAT IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL IN SO MANY NEGATIVE INSTANCES AND RUIN IT'S CHANCES OF BECOMING MAINSTREAM WHICH WOULD ALLOW YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR THE FRANCHISE TO BE IGNORED EVEN MORE? THE AUDACITY!"
Unironically I hope it fails. I'd rather a good game nobody buys that I can enjoy than a bad game that everybody buys that gets plenty of bad sequels.
GB artist is still Matsuyama.
Was that the only one that let you have two kids?
I'm on the fence. Even if her original kimono made no sense, it was still adorable as fuck.
This is fine.
Fuck this shit.
NO.
She got fat, but whatever. Downgraded from milf status.
Fine
wut
WHY DOES HE HAVE A KIMONO WHEN YOU STRIPPED MEI OF HERS!?
I thought those were moustaches from the thumbnail, and I'm mad that they aren't.
He doesn't look like a nerd anymore
The games went downhill in a lot of ways after AP.
You can also have two kids in GBC3 and AP.
There was GBC3, and Animal Parade had the kids look different depending on their parent and birth order, and would let you pick their genders, and depending on the parent they would have 3 out of 4 possible personality types
Looking back it's sad how future games took such a massive step back to it in terms of rival relationships, and kids
Just watch. That girl is gonna turn out to be Licorice.
Again.
She was easily the best girl in Two Towns, and I appreciate her first cameo, but it's getting a little out of hand.
>Remember my sister downloaded some Wiiware game on my Wii like a decade ago.
>Try it out.
>You have to wait real time days for crops to grow.
oh god what the fuck
Shit you might be right
at least better than Alisa, What the fuck Marvelous was thinking.
It looks like the boys came out better than the girls, though I did turn gay since I first played the game.
Oh shit, now I can't unsee it.
I wonder what cameo male we would get. A redesign of a male silhouette isn't going to look distinctly like anyone.
Please no
The only significantly different thing is the character designs, and most of them have just been updated to better represent the characters’ roles in FoMT since they were written so differently from their original 64 counterparts. Chill the fuck out.
He looks like a nerd that’s actually fuckable now, which is a good thing since the female fanbase for this franchise probably outnumbers the male one by now.
What's exactly wrong in this design to get it changed?
Last Harvest Moon i played properly was FoMT, sorta wanna get back into the games. Which one do i play?
I married Elli, if that helps.
I WANNA MARRY THAT feMC AAAAAAAA
The fanbase has been predominantly female for a long time.
List the negatives user, im seeing plenty of possitive here
>faster, fluid, more responsive gameplay
>farm is easier to plan out. No more 3x3 meme
>the general feeling is there
Yes the graphic look kinda bad in this days and aages, but the characters redesigns are growing on me, esp Pop
Are you telling me we're all girls here?
A lot of people suspect that Allen is the male. The female could be Felicity if that’s the case. She’s missing her little hat but she might not be a waitress anymore.
You guys think they will add option to expand the field east?
>changing the character designs shouldn't matter in a game where characters and their designs are one of the main points of the game
>and most of them have just been updated to better represent the characters’ roles in FoMT since they were written so differently from their original 64 counterparts
Then why the fuck is it called a FoMT remake if they're trying to emulate 64 instead?
It's not "wrong", and something different isn't inherently worse. Ann is being redesigned for this game to look more like an innkeeper's daughter, who cooks and cleans and waits tables, as opposed to the tomboy farmer's daughter that original design belongs to.
>Cliff lost his ponytail
Fuck this
Why would she dress like a farmgirl when she isn’t one?
Did you read the post, like, carefully?
Hes saying that they are following the FoTM design, not 64
mmm, yes sweaty
She lives in the boonies.
>Then why the fuck is it called a FoMT remake if they're trying to emulate 64 instead?
What the actual fuck are you talking about? What has been revealed about the game that makes you think they’re trying to make it more like 64 than FoMT?
Just started emulating Animal Parade, when does this get good?
I think you would be able to see the edge of Allen's glasses if it were him, the way you can see Rick's glasses extend past his face on his art.
I'm more curious about Popuri still wearing a pretty dress if the purpose was to make the characters designs more sensible considering she's a chicken farmer and all
Tfw no slightly autistic harvest moon fangirl gf who wants to garden and be a housewife
It hurts, brehs
I wouldn't mind if it really was Licorice, but they really are milking her popularity.
They chopped off Toy's ponytail between StH and HoLV too. Ponytails aren't in fashion anymore.
>popularity
You wish
why can't they just do it in the 2D drawn style? what's wrong with that?
Tell me how the fuck you took away
>faster, fluid, more responsive game play
from a bunch of screenshots
It sure as hell doesn't read that way
>"and most of them have just been updated to better represent the characters’ roles in FoMT since they were written so differently from their original 64 counterparts."
I never said or thought anything like that
This post says
>and most of them have just been updated to better represent the characters’ roles in FoMT since they were written so differently from their original 64 counterparts.
The social aspect never gets good, although I remember the farming being solid. Unlike a lot of people here who love AP, I thought it was a middle-of-the-road entry in the series.
>some pre-release screenshot had them still have their pony tail
>thought they would make it something that grows in on the second year
>turns out they just removed it for good probably because it's a pain to animate
Try not having the attention span of a toddler. Give it a couple more hours and if you don’t like it then drop it.
You marry best girl right?
It's a casual dress. It looks homemade, and Popuri doesn't actually do that much working at her family's farm. Her father taught Rick how to do everything and wouldn't teach her. I bet she rarely gets any dirty work to do.
Holy shit, your reading comprehension is abysmal.
Because they're not trying to emulate 64, they're emulating Back to Nature and Friends of Mineral Town.
The character designs are being altered to represent how the characters were rewritten in Back to Nature. It's not a hard thing to grasp.
Isn t she more along the line of seller? You want to be pretty when you sell stuffs
Right in the trailer, mate
>item swap is almost imediately
>harvesting, putting down hay, picking up eggs, all lightning fast
>menu swapping is fast
>movement speed is good
Are the 3ds games worth playing? Asking because I liked RF4 a lot.
>the only one in town that accepts weed
>social aspect
The lack of heart events is shit, but the characters all have way more hearts and lines of dialogue because of it so that’s nice at least. I wish every SoS/HM game gave you 10 extra hearts after the marriage. And the rival marriages and children are the best in any game.
I'll try to explain as simple as I can.
>64 comes out, characters are designed to suit their roles in the game.
>Back to Nature comes out, uses the character designs from 64, but assigns them different roles. Eg. Elli turns from a baker into a nurse and Ann goes from being a farm girl to working at an inn.
>Guy is saying they're changing their original 64 designs for this game to suit their new roles better.
Trio of Towns is the best Harvest Moon game in basically forever.
SoS and 3oT are both good. I think 3oT is better, but I really enjoyed SoS too when it came out.
The other 3DS titles aren't worth your time, imo.
Okay explain to me how it doesn't sound like the characters are being changed to better fit their characters from 64 because they were vastly different than them in FoMT
Because that's how I read it anyways.
Then why the fuck did that post bring up 64 if it has no connection? Are they just retarded or is it me?
I'm so happy to marry best waifu after all these years!
No HM game is as good as RF4, but they’re still enjoyable if all you’re looking for is a comfy casual farming sim.
>let me explain it as simple as I can
>actually includes relevant prerequisite knowledge this time
Thanks
to be honest, no
>nonsensical theme, 3 very different culturally village neighbouring each other? seriously?
>Ms.Excel tier menu
>if you miss something and don't use guide. have fun waiting a whole year in game to get it.
>RNG mine, fuck save scumming
SoS is nice, 3oT is the shit
Still you have to slog through a whole fucking season for 3oT to pick up, but once it does, boy its great
Thanks niggs, I'll try Trio of Towns, looks comfy and the girls seem cute.
Having a lot of lines doesn't matter if they're all forgettable. I found the ToT/AP cast to be bland.
>Are they just retarded or is it me?
You’re the only one that seems confused here user so I guess there’s your answer.
New Beginning and Trio are good.
Stay the fuck away from the Natsume games.
>ignores the actual question, answers the rhetorical question
So it's you guys then?
What was the point of her character? Sometimes some people are just bitches there’s no depth to it? Seems weird in a children’s game
>New Beginning
Really? Aside from having some really great bachelor and bachelorette designs, I thought ANB was pretty mediocre. SoS felt like a step up in every way.
Your reading comprehension is still utter shit despite the fact that you didn't know something that has been discussed at length in this thread and is known to damn near everyone else familiar with this series.
No one is going to take that simple post and break it down for you word for word so that your retarded brain can understand.
It's you. You're retarded.
She's just tsun.
Else you think she will accept your proposal and bear your children?
This . The marriage candidate designs are the only good part of that game to me, and it was the last game that Natsume had their retarded hands on so the localization doesn't even let those characters shine.
Those aren’t the canonical green haired kids.
How many choice of girl you need in a single game?
GB has 4, the lowest of all modern games.
Yeah, you guys are right
Don't mind me, Ill just be off spending fucking dozens of hours on 2 games to comment on a remake of a completely different game
The original and the best game (64) had five, so five is the baseline for me. Any more is a bonus, but quality >>> quantity.
At least 6
I wish they return to the glorious day of RF3, with male only MC, and 11 fucking bachelorettes plus 2 ara ara you shall never touch
You really are retarded. Here's one last charity (You) from me.
I've never played 64 or FoMT and I understood that post by itself and from context in thread. Just accept you're kind of dumb.
I like playing as cute female MC though, wish they let you get yuri married.
Where are you getting dozens of hours from? It takes like five minutes to look up HM64, BtN, and FoMT to get the information that 64 came first, was remixed into BtN, and then that was ported to GBA.
>original Harvest Moon looks like phone shovelware garbage
>somehow manages to look shittier than games from 20 years ago
>new Story of Seasons is a crossover with Doraemon
At least there is still Rune Factory 5, right?
>acts all cute but is all a lie, she just wants free shit
Thats not what a tsundere is user
>shittier than games from 20 years ago
You niggers need to get your eyes checked. I hope you're not the user who said that MM looked better than this
There's still a new proper SoS in development if I recall correctly.
Dozens of hours is an overstatement but if the implication is that the characters are being changed to better fit roles they had in different games than wouldn't it take a bit to tell what type of characters they are through interaction and dialogue
After this game, don't hope too much about RF5.
For all we know they will cater to Fujos even harder.
Okay guys so when you played the original which boy did you marry?
Its not THE New SoS, really. Im not convinced until Hakama update their site with it
Im happily playing the doraemon spinoff tho. Shits actually fun, so im possitive about the future of the series
>For all we know they will cater to Fujos even harder.
This, same sex marriage was confirmed for RF5
Well if she doesn't love you, she won't reveal the shit even after you marry her.
I'm fine with 4 since I'd prefer far more fleshed out options then having a bunch of options that are as deep as a puddle.
Gray and Cliff
uhh, source on that?
>same sex marriage was confirmed for RF5
Where and when?
>the characters are being changed to better fit roles they had in different games
Literally no one said that. As people have told you several times now, your reading comprehension is abysmal.
It's kinda weird that the concept of the game was interesting to me when I was 14 years old. I usually liked only action games or beat'em ups.
>get a lot of snes roms one day
>like 200 without knowing them
>try Harvest Moon one day because I was bored
>invested two weeks straight without playing anything else
You mean RF4? That's just retards who don't speak moon.
In For Girl, I married Kai. In MFoMT, I married Cliff.
>For all we know they will cater to Fujos even harder.
Seething retard.
Than why the fuck are they being so vastly changed
>Gray
Excellent taste.
It's amazing what you can get into as a kid. I spent an absolute fuckton of time with the first GB game and that game doesn't even have marriage or many events at all. The most prominent part of the experience to me was literally just tilling the entire field, and I played through more than once.
>THAT IS ENTIRELY DIFFERENT FROM THE ORIGINAL
The only different thing is the character design.
The gameplay seems to be the same.
The map is the same.
Even the fucking minigames are back.
We had same sex "marriage" in DScute that was called the "best friend" system where you have 4 girls you could choose from and be "best friends" with instead of a male marriage candidate
I play as both male and female because I want to marry the female and male candidates and sometimes it's just bothersome to choose between this and that but at the same time I don't want all the marriage candidates homos but maybe have 1 male and female be biscum and we can choose from that or just one lesbian option and gay option and then the two bi options
What I really want to see again are rival marriages, rival children and the option to have more than one child and having your family help on the farm and harvest sprites
Holy shit dude, this has been explained to you several times already.
Back to Nature and by extension Friends of Mineral Town use the same plot, locations, and character designs as Harvest Moon 64. Despite that, BtN is not a port of 64, but something akin to a remix. The marriage candidates were shuffled around into new roles, the plot was tweaked a bit, Mineral Town and it's surrounding areas were re-arranged into a new layout.
Because of this re-use of assets, the marriage candidates now had designs that generally didn't fit with their new roles. Ann, for example, was originally a farmer's daughter to being an inn-keeper's daughter.
The Friends of Mineral Town remake is redesigning these characters to better fit the new roles they were given in Back to Nature and Friends of Mineral Town.
For the love of god, man, if you still don't understand after this then you're a lost cause.
>What I really want to see again are rival marriages, rival children and the option to have more than one child and having your family help on the farm and harvest sprites
This
Rival marriages will probably never come back. Nips hated that their waifu/husbando could pair up with someone else.
Am I right in assuming it was meaning both genders get to romance and get married? That was what the shitty translation I saw look like it meant but I can't read moon.
Did they really? It felt organic I missed that in later games
I don't think it will be her, but if it is I'm gonna have to marry her again. God damn.
I will be fine with these redesigns if it means we will get a 64 remake
>remake of a downgrade
It should be interesting to see if this remake keeps the rival marriages. If they do bring it back then it has a possibility to stick around depending on modern receptions.
I also read that one of the issues with rival marriages is that female players didn't want to marry anyone because they didn't want to upset the balance or something like that.
They did. I've already seen quite a few people hoping this remake will remove rivals.
Is nobody going to talk about this?
Does this imply more remakes?
THAT thats my waifu
When will they introduce polygamy
What game shes from?
Piss off, they're virtually the same. If they're smart about this, they'll take the few features that were cut and re-implement them.
Story of Seasons.
Yeah
Its the 1st in line of the reunion series
Basically Marvelous trying to save the franchise from natsume’s grasp
As long as the main team is working on the next, new title, im on it
I liked ANB's lategame a lot, but the beginning is very bad.
>Ann losing her ponytail
Fuck them
I understand not wwanting to disrupt the balance and it should be like RF2 where the left overs could marry someone else but thats also sometimes go for the extra options that dont have a rival because they may end up being best girl or boy but even if they have a rival i'll still end up going for them if their personality is great
No we need to keep them, it sucks being the only young adult in the town to be married and everyone else is single and alone especially if the character has a personality that fits being a family person or wnats one
Remake of the downgrade of a remix of a sequel
Just marry H.G or Kappa then lol
Old hag dressed like she's still in 20
Gray > Cliff > Kai > Rick > Doctor
Why did they throw away the old art-style, I would imagine they would be more self-aware than that.
Best case scenario is you can actually set up others’ marriage as you like through events and stuffs, but then its too much work.
>6 males, 6 females candidate means 36 unique scenarios
The “left-over are to marry the pre-determined one” is the best choice, i guess
Oh that is cool, so there could really be a 64 remake in the works. I am hoping for an AWL remake though, that game NEEDS it.
What are you talking about? It's just not braided anymore.
From what I understand, they're not even allowed to use the old art. But that's just hearsay, I've got no source.
I hope they don't cave and get rid of rival marriages. I liked the idea of having a point of failure in trying to win your bachelor(ette) over. Plus its fun to see the other characters get together.
Post your idea to save the farming system
>Add trait to the crop (similar with item trait in artelier).
>You get randomized basic trait with shop sold seed
>When you grow the crop in certain way, the trait may mutate into higher or lower type of trait
>Certain combination of trait increase the price or winning chance further
>So something like turnip seed from shop grown in normal way will produce turnip(normal sized, taste OK, good color), while your own eugenic turnip grown with end game fertilizer will produce something like turnip (giant size, heavenly taste, premium item, gold coloured)
There are a few theories
A) They want to reach for newer audiences
B) Avoiding legal trouble with Natsume
C) There will be an HM64 remake and they want to diversify the designs and it would make sense the earlier one would be the one to keep the OG styled stuff.
You could add actual traits, like crunchy, soft, so on. This effects the cooking (you have to match certain traits to get the best out of a meal) and sales (There can be market trends where they want certain corps with certain qualities, watching TV helps you see trends beforehand)
I don't think BTN's crop system needs to change much. I wouldn't mind some very minor tweaks to livestock though, namely stuff like reworking the mechanics involving leaving animals indoors or outdoors being more distinct/rewarding and maybe more straightforward.
These mods at-least help:
White Maru: nexusmods.com
Doctor Demetrius(alittle ways down on pg.1): community.playstarbound.com
Isnt that 3oT system? Just a tad bit more complicated
I’d like a system when you have to cycle crop/let the ground rest like RF4 too, and with seed lvl it encourage a diverse growing of crops
BTN's crop system is boring
When the fuck is someone gonna make a true successor to Harvest Moon dammit? It is the year 2019 and all we got is that shitty Faggotdew Valley garbage.
P milk and p egg?
If you have time to bitch about wanting a successor, you have time to create a successor.
Imagine being you

Gray. I tried to pursue Cliff but found him to be a bit boring.
It is from Marvelous, not Natsume
Not the OG crew tho, but Marverlous know how to handle their IP. Just look at the dora spin-off
Pls be in london
Trio of towns for switch fucking when? Didnt they announce it like 2-3 years ago??
Has it been quietly cancelled and they are hoping people just forgot?
Cliff is better off leaving town.
Just trying to objectively make the game better, user.
>Didnt they announce it like 2-3 years ago??
No? They announced a new Story of Seasons game for Switch, and it's been radio silence ever since. Doraemon and Friends of Mineral Town are separate projects.
They didn't say Trio of Towns was going to come, but that a Bokujo would
Went for Cliff but realized Gray was best boy
Overall I really wanted to marry Carter but he didn't accept my love for him
Now now, I still felt bad for him, so I hooked my brother up with a job and with Ann.
The last two are pretty gross, to be fair.
I won't believe this without proof.
All of them are pathetic.
you only like stardew valley more because it´s cheaper and the gayshit
There is nothing pathetic about rejecting the jewish globohomo agenda.
Are you a retard or something? You literally only needed to forage for about two hours, summer plant all the pineapple you can. There, all your money problems gone. Fuck man.
What about mods that make boys girls?
grow up
Those are acceptable since all default females are so trash
Was he, dare I say it, /ouguy/?
Why do so many Indonesians like this fucking game? I never played it, but searching the original is like, half indonesian, half spic shit
game is shit, competent persons left natsume decades ago.
sadly they lost their touch and story of seasons is boring af.

natsume actually never worked at all on the hm games, they just localized them

Look at this idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about and laugh.
What places do I even go for HM info nowadays? All the websites I knew are close, last HM Farm update was 2010, what the fuck.
I haven't been too much into these games for the last 11 years or so.
I'm pointing and laughing at him.

Most wiki are dead tho. Some walkthrough from the good old day of gamefaq is still up too
"Almost all the men in Mineral Town dislike him for some reason."
Only Rick and some of the old people
Cry more.
always hated that racist bastard
Rune Factory is better than both of them
Trio of Towns is way worse, the only interesting picks are the brown girls and a gender-bending fox
seething
It never occurred to me it was a race thing until someone pointed it out in another thread.
But Komari is cute
Literal Miku and Nino too
RF5 will have this exact artstyle
dilate
Imagine having shit taste.
I hope not even RF 4 looks much better than this
I mean, yeah, and DS-era she was Hermione. Plus Trio of Towns also has copies of pic-related and RF has a saber clone
They will make babies have genetic features, right?
Nah he jest
Each series has their own main artists, and RF is unapologetic animu aesthetic
