Are you looking forward for the friends of mineral town remake?

At some point their art direction started going in a bad direction, i wonder why.

I can't believe this is the same artist as Harvest Moon 64. How does your style actually get worse with experience?

i don't know, popuri looks like those generic characters you see on the front of those notebooks for girls, old popuri kinda looks like a dragon ball character
poor mary was so was never cute... i don't think they'll be able to ruin her

Those japanese lessons really helped

Somewhat, there are a lot of ways it can go wrong gameplay wise, not to mention that it's being developed by some team unrelated to harvest moon.

>mfw still like popuri even in her new artstyle
She cute bros.

See, that's not so bad. It's a change, for sure, but you can still identify her as Popuri.

I wouldn't even have known that was Karen unless they had said so. She doesn't look anything like a boozer.

Really, thanks. Something you ought to have is a partner!

I am not very sure about the second half, what do you think about the translation?

looks fat with that dress

I don't think anyone has to worry much about Mary, Elli, or Kai, at least judging from the backs of their models. They look pretty similar to their original looks, except Mary's got pig-tails now.

Not particularly. The original was a simple masterpiece and it's still worth replaying if I'm ever in the mood for it. I don't really like the new designs or visuals. Other than a little bit of QoL and some new content there's not much they could do to improve it in my eyes. Plus with Natsume owning the original localization it might not even be possible to bring to the West unless they rewrite and rename absolutely everything or work out something with them.

>pigtails
So not only they will not ruin the design, but actually improve it? I can't wait for this game.

>Stardews devs
The whole thing was made by one man with a little bit of Chucklefuck doing whatever it is that they do. I followed Stardew since it was announced and it took forever for him to finish the game which is why it's as good as it is. Probably wouldn't be reasonable to expect much more out of him for a while.

My family is openly racist and because of that when i was younger i thought that Kai was a wife beater, that's why i ended up marrying popuri in my first playthrough. Around blacks never relax i guess.

How did you feel about it's remake Harvest Moon DS?

HMDS - the definitive kino HM experience

Amazing potential squandered by countless bugs, a few gamebreaking, and locking certain mechanics and other cool shit behind stupidly high amounts of grinding and filler. Marrying a FoMT cutie ending your game is really shitty, too. Plus you can't really capture the serene peace and beauty of Forget-Me-Not Valley with pixels.

You're right

HMDS was the most complete HM for me, lots of content and marriage candidates above all, shame on the bugs but i know they got patched on a 1.1 version.

Really glad they dropped Natsume. Too bad about the brand name thing though.

And you should sell yourself to Phillipino drug dealers, yet here you are

RF 2

I just 100% Light of Hope. 270 hours on a single save game just to get all the crops and cooking down. I have zero interest in this genre anymore. I don't care if it's the real Harvest Moon. I'm done. Fuck this.

Gameplay wise it was closer to FoMT than AWL. Basically FoMT but in Forget-me-not, but it didn't translate very well since Forget-me-not wasn't designed for 2D or that style of gameplay. It's always nice to see the peoole of Forget-me-not though. And there's a lot of weird filler and bugs. Like said.

I meant Mineral Town.

Would be nice, but I'm pretty sure Nip waifufags go ballistic nowadays at the thought of a love interest interacting with any male that isn't a self-insert. Dating sims are some kind of sacred territory and HM has always been half dating sim.

>that one time when you just wanted to play AWL all weekend, but your mom makes you go to some abstinence church retreat for teens and yanks out the power cord to your PS while you're saving and corrupting your year 4 save file
it still hurts

I'm looking forward to my death.

I can't remember which company it was, but there was one that died over including used goods in an eroge. Something about snapped discs.

That's bullshit. They're not used goods, they're just more experienced and can provide more fun sexytimes than pure maidens.

>Pop Funko 3d models
I hate it

Why the fuck did you put so much time in a shitty Chinese-knockoff-tier fake game made by Natsume?

Kakyuusei 2. Took me forever to figure that out. But it was NTR that angered the Nips which is definitely understandable. NTR has no place anywhere.

And now NTR is probably the most popular type of eroge in Japan. How the times change. I wish they would change back.

>I have zero interest in this genre anymore. I don't care if it's the real Harvest Moon. I'm done. Fuck this
So you purposely bought Blarvest Bloon and for some reason put 270 hours in it and now blame Harvest Moon for it?

>To start, the biggest bomb of the entire game and what makes the game such a huge legendary deal is THE MAIN HEROINE, Saimon Tamaki (or Simon Tamaki). Look at her damned "main heroine" atmosphere look on her design and one can identify that she definitely is the main heroine focus for the game.Oh,that and she's childhoodfriends with Rouma.
>She is a legend because the game starts with her and her childhood+sexfriend Rouma having sex, and then she breaks the news to him that she broke up a while ago with her boyfriend. Apparently she went through alot with him. We are never made clear whether Tamaki had sex with Rouma first or her boyfriend (still need further clarification on their relationship).
>As a main heroine of the standard eroge era, she was a infamous legend for being "netoried" away from her boyfriend by Rouma's enjoyable sexual acts. SHE WAS ALREADY IN A RELATIONSHIP OMIGOSH WHAT BLASPHEMY IS THIS OF A MAIN HEROINE!?!? Ahem. While having anal sex with Rouma was a first, we are never shown any visible hints that she had Rouma as her first (redundant repetition for effect). Keep in mind, this is one of ELF's earlier works in its growing stage and is the reason why we have such confusion over the purity of heroines (b/c ELF at that point still hadn't gone down the complete NTR/Netori road).
>Normally, main heroines in standard eroges are pure and ready for the protagonist to defile. However, there are times when this tradition is broken; Kakyuusei 2 was one of these times. At this point in time, ELF company was still a developing group... it hadn't yet decided to go 99% down the NTR/NETORI themed road. And thus the reason why Kakyuusei 2 is one of their "prototypes" in a way; quite popular actually, Kakyuusei 2 was.
>On a side note, other heroines like the teacher heroines and musician heroine are only half confirmed to be virgin or non-virgin

Love me some cucumber, see me in the barn later so I can harvest some.

That was a special case, Kakyuusei 2 took many people by surprise, that's why the backlash was that strong. At least that's what I heard. There has always been plenty of NTR and slutty girl porn in Japan.
Too bad it happened so long ago, it would have been fascinatingly hilarious to watch the entire shitshow happen live.

Who is this game even for? "Let's ruin the demake of a great game that also happened to be great so we can bank off the nostalgia of the very few people who will recognize what we're doing right away? It's not like anyone knows we've run the franchise into the ground already!"

I don't get either perspective on NTR. Cuck or cucker, either way your wasting your time with a whore.
>there's pasta made specifically for it
Is it obscure or not? Google failed me trying to figure out the snapped disc thing.

It's a comment by a sperg on vndb. I cut half of it because it was 4k words long

What the fuck did they do to my wife?

Guess I'm gay now.

Play the older titles if you can. 64 and BTN are your best bets.

Next they'll remove her acceptance of weeds.

Why does the Japanese keep making tomboy characters more girly in recent years

Here's the real question: Will it include the AWL link connecton content?

I think it's just genetics. Some girls are just roast beefy. Some madlad should document trying to get an innie to be roast beefy to prove otherwise.

Both Carter and Jeff look like teenagers who are always hanging out around a store after school let's out now.
Ann's new design at least indicates she still has some pants but I agree that she still looks a bit too girly.

That implies effort unfortunately, so no. Sorry bud.

Maybe. Wasn't it just the cabin and Van? It would make sense to keep the cabin and change the unlock requirements, and Van would still work as a special merchant that show up occasionally.

Still don't like them though

I see that Natsume is shitting on the carcass of Harvest Moon, once again,

No bodice no buy.

It's not Natsume.

I want one with a different artstyle, one that compliments those undertones sooner than contrasts. HM's/RF's/SoS's childlike artstyle really don't do the series any justice.

They ruined the Harvest Goddess. Please don't tell me they butchered Elli's design too.

This thread made me want to play another HM aside for BtN or FoMT.
Which is the best one between DS, Sunshine Islands, and Hero of Leaf Valley?

Even if they were alike what makes you think they’d marry you? desu

Pretty sure its still SoS over here when it comes out so no.

But will he still be racist?

>Even if they were alike what makes you think they’d marry you?
I'd presume that the idea operates under the assumption that either:
>They will strive to improve themselves due to there being higher quality women available
>They would have a better quality upbringing to offset their comparatively shit one
Or some combination thereof, though that's assuming genetic factors aren't largely in play.

Leaf valleys probably the most unique of the bunch, DS even the patched one has a very questionable translation, and i cant remember sunshine islands at all.

I thought this was meant to be your future wife

I hope

Oh, ok. Makes sense. Thanks user.

I fgiured Back to Nature, 64 or even the SNES one (I really need to play that) would be more well known.

BTN has too many competitor, but FoMT is literally on top 5 games in GBA.

The first one felt like a demo in a sense. There's a solid game there, but it never reached it's potential which they hit with the 64/BtN/FoMT. Somewhat like a tech demo, or a genre demo.

I think I'd have liked a less vibrant-coloured artstyle but I don't think it's that bad. The portraits and characters themselves are good but the town and everything looks more cartoon-y than a regular farm. Kind of like comparing Story of Seasons to Rune Factory colours. I could just be remembering the original FoMT wrong though and it was actually pretty bright.

Can't wait to save and reset until I win the chicken fighting competition in the first year.
