HARVEST MOON/STORY OF SEASONS THREAD

Which one is the best of the whole bunch? And which one is the worst?

I'm asking between all of the titles, not only between the different franchises now they split. Also as far as I heard the new HM games suck massive dicks.

Also, did you guys knew that they will launch a remake of Back to Nature?

>Yasuhiro Wada: In Harvest Moon, there are three key elements. There are crops; there are animals; there are people. As the series moved on, there was so much focus on marriage. It was almost like getting married in the game was the goal of the game. But I wanted that focus to go back to where it started. The human relationship is not just about marriage. It's about man and man, father and son, etc. I wanted to have so many varieties of human relationship in Hometown Story instead of just getting married.
Harvest Moon popularizing dating sim elements was the worst thing that ever happened to the series, and probably all of gaming in the west to be honest. I’m sick of all HM discussion just being about these personalityless voids

Never played it.

One that no one says much about but I like very much is Grand Baazar. The mechanics are fun, the city is cool and it has the best girl of the whole series, Freya.

I also gave a chance for Trio of Towns but I did not liked it. That red neck city is just horrendous.

>Don't know about the split
>Loved FoMT, AWL, and BtN
>Decide to get a new HM game on 3ds
>Its all dating sim shit with next to no focus on farming
>Learn of split
>Enjoy comfy SoS games
>Learn of remakes
This is the only good thing to happen in 2020.

Which of the new HM did you tried?
There are any redeemable qualities about it, or something better than the SoS games?

>stop liking the parts of the game I don't like

It was like Animal Crossing but with waifus constantly in your face. There were nice elements, sure, but they were so small and weak and the focus was entirely on getting a waifu to marry you.

Story of Seasons is the good one.
It's the OG Harvest Moon team, they just don't have the IP anymore.

New Harvest Moon is a different team and mediocre at best.

Oh, it was Two Towns.

This one was still from Natsume, user.

Best Harvest Moon game coming through
the Gamecube version of course

fucking hate how teddious it goes after the 2nd year

I played it in PS2 and it was bad. What is the difference?

>The human relationship is not just about marriage. It's about man and man
No wonder they added gay shit into the series.
Fucking SJWs ruin everything.

I know, and it was dogshit. First time I ever returned a game same day I bought it.

A Wonderful Life. My first and favorite.

Back when we were young, my cousin and I use to play it together. We took turns taking care of the crops and animals. She and I have a lot of fond memories of this game.

ps2 version is poorly ported and has no new content worth calling it special. gamecube version has stability and cross content with fomt if you have a gameboy adapter.

>pirate this shit
>have it installed for a week

>throws an error
>find out it doesn't work on the best windows
Retarded devs

Playing the new remake. I got 10 invites to a Starry Night party. Why does everyone want my cock after giving them crap I found on my farm or in a cave.

Is it any good?

Why someone would prefer to play these games in a world where we already got THIS, is something that truly amazes me.

I'm enjoying it.

I agree with what he says, but none of the recent HM or SoS games have any good character relationships or character developments. And growing crops and raising animals hasn't improved in a decade. Unfortunately, Stardew Valley shits all over Harvest Moon in all aspects.

Stardew Valley characters aren't nearly as fun or interesting, which is ironically the unintended main appeal of the genre.

I think nostalgia goggles have made you blind. I'm not, by any chance, saying that Stardew Valley characters are any good. They're pretty shit. But still they're better than what we've got in the latest SoS games.

It's fun, but a more basic harvest moon/story of seasons again(seeing as it is a remake of an early one), without numbers to raise on everything.
If you played the original it is that but with some welcome QoL changes and some weird changes i could have done without(animals only having 5 maximum hearts, only going up by one if you breed them, and teleshopping and calling them via the phone in the inn being gone, the cooking tools just appear in the general store).
overall i think it's fun.

I liked grand bazaar because the way to make money was all up to you.
Also why did you post a pic of my wife.

is the dark skin color you can select the same as kai? this is important
