Which Harvest Moon game is your favorite
I only played the GBC one years ago and remember enjoying it quite a lot.
I actually like the PSP one the best. The farming is a little toned down but village life sim aspect is very good in that one.
I was liking Story of Seasons but it got too tedious.MoreFriends of Mineral Town is probably the best honestly
>>320717612
>MoreFriends of Mineral Town
Heard playing as grill is kinda shitty in HM games.
FOMT or Back to Nature, there's no other answer here.
64 and Friends of Mineral town, though I hear the ones on the GC/PS2 were good as well.
I'd probably say 64 is my favorite but i'm pretty nostalgic for N64 games. That art style is so appealing to me.
Oh yeah I played Harvest Moon DS as well. Everyone seems to hate it but I enjoyed it.
DS
its just Friends of Mineral Town with the cast of A wonderfull Lifeliteral perfection. even with the bugs
Animal Parade; farming and loading times are shit but I love the art style and the music.
>>320714370
SNES or N64 although the GBC one will always have a special place in my heart.
>>320718548
Why is Witch Princess so perfect
>>320718548
It's been the most appealing game since the only one I've played was A Wonderful Life, and it looks to have the most new stuff, but I just can't get it to emulate. Fucking audiobugs and framerate issues up the ass. I just want to farm with zoo animals, is that so much to ask?
Harvest Moon DSCute
I still haven't played rune factory 4 actually, need to get a 3ds
>Harvest Moon thread
Aww yeah baby
Surprised nobody made a not-Harvest Moon for PC yet with stuff like RPG Maker existing.
>>320720320
Yeah it's like all those Harvest Moon clones don't even exist.

Natsume's got you covered bro, even in the "looking like RPG Maker" part.
>>320720570
I only know about Story of Seasons and Rune Factory
>>320714370
>>320715802
what terrible art
>>320714370
Main game? FoMT
Spin off? RF3
>>320720320
Except they did. There's even one with porn.
>>320714370
HM64 and HM:Back to Nature are the best, while HM:SNES comes up in second place due to control/interface issues.
A lot of people here are babbies who only played the half-assed remake of Back to Nature called Friends of Mineral Town for the GBA, but you really ought not listen to them when we're talking "best." A handheld port isn't best, especially not when it trimmed festivals, interface, graphics, crops, the fucking greenhouse, etc. etc. to dumb it down enough to fit on GBA.
Strangely enough, I remember playing HM3 for GBC and it was pretty robust. You know, stuff like not cutting the greenhouse.
If you want to get versed in Harvest Moon, you should start with HM64 and then play HM:BTN. Both are easy to emulate today, even on a smartphone.

Stardew Valley is finished, but the dev is working on Steam achievements now.
http://stardewvalley.net/dev-update-32/
Too bad in that same post he says that the game won't launch with multiplayer, which IMO is an important feature. I've been looking for ages for a game I can play together with myGFand both of us have been fans of HM for decades
Which girl is the best and why is it Nami?
Got story of seasons. Returned the shit out of that game
>>320723025
It far and away was too grindy for a HM game. Harvest Moon is for comfy farming and quaint village life.
Grinding numbers does not enhance that. Which is whyRune Factorysucks too
>>320723392
>>320723025
This
No idea whats so hard to get here.
People loved HM for the comfy landlife part. Not for grinding shit.
>>320721271
Bullshit.
>>320724798
Probably some furshit
FoMT easily.
>>320718234
I agree
>>320721514
Well, yes, but the trick is that multiplayer just straight up doesn't exist in the game yet beyond the basic netcode. The single player is a thing that exists. They estimate 5 more months to add multiplayer. The people who want multiplayer would have to wait either way, it's just a matter of if the single player fans have to wait with them.
Back to nature
>Rune Factory is dead
>Story of Seasons is shit
>Natsume kills Harvest Moon
>>320727540
Mah nigga
Wish I could play it again
>>320721328
does the granma die if you don't do the Elli route? Everytime I replay the N64 game, I always pick her
64. HoLV was surprisingly good too. The games that focus more on comfy life than grinding to unlock new ways to make money you'll never be able to spend are the best, like this >>320723392 anon says.
Still, I didn't dislike SoS. It was better than AnB and almost every DS title, at least.
>>320714370
Back to Nature.
>>320729225
Yes. She'll die in Spring Year 2 if you talk to her when she's outside but not rocking, whether you romanced Elli or not.The death of Ellen was way worse than AWL Nina's.
>>320721514
I hope the fighting part is not actually necessary for the rest of the game.
It doesn't really fit all that well into a HM-like game in my opinion.
>>320729779
That's probably becauseNina's death was offscreen. I really liked her, and she was one the first characters I made friends of, but goddam I hate how they killed her
>comfy landlife games
>money targeting grindshit
>>320721514
Looks somewhat interesting. Might give it a look after its release
so if I like Rune Factory but just realized Animal Crossing really isn't for me would I like Harvest Moon?
>>320733629
Do you like the farming aspect?
You were a prototype, Harvest Moon. A prototype for me.
>>320734646
Too bad Rune Factory got progressively worse.
>>320734746
The opposite of what you have said is true.
...Though frankly I think RF3 is overrated.
>>320734443
yeah
>>320734746
I sure hope you're fishing for bumps
>>320734912
>>320734994
Except Frontier is the best RF and RF1 is the 2nd best.
>Magical Melody never gets mentioned
It's the last good retro-style game.
>>320735150
It has terrible aesthetics. A village of bobblehead toddlers.
>>320714370
>played
SNES, N64, PSX
>favourite
SNES. Because the other two are too complicated, too many things to do.
A wonderful life is my favourite harvest moon what other ones are the most similar to it?
>>320735074
I've never played frontier but every time I see mentioned in a RF thread people start complaining about runeys. What was so bad about them?
>>320735515
HM:DS is kind of a remake of it. AWL is still one of the most boring, featureless HM's though.
>>320735680
I know but I like the atmosphere
>>320735150
>>320735263
The toddler-body thing took getting used to, but overall I enjoyed MM a lot. It was majorly comfy with that OST and the no-stress note collecting.
>>320735972
I feel like 64 and StH had the best atmosphere, but you might not get that sense if you're more used to modern games. Maybe play HoLV.
>>320718548
I hated Animal Parade on the Wii, now I love it after playing it on Dolphin.
Candace and Luna best girls.
the only right answer is friends of mineral town
>>320736846
>They made Luna Taller in Animal Parade
Shame. They should have kept the fun-sized version from ToT.
hands down this is the best harvest moon game
Harvest Moon 2 for Gameboy Color, but only because it's the first one I played
This one is best
The one where the Kappa practically rapes you and then stalks you until the baby is born.
>>320728860
>everything is based on luck in RF4
Kind of deserved it
>>320737278
>They only just released this on PSN in Europe
>Doesn't work on Vita
One fucking job.
>>320737382
>best selling RF game so far
>studio still closed down because developing it was too expensive
>>320720970
Harvest Moon Magical Melody has the worst art in my opinion. It's the only Harvest Moon game I couldn't stand to play, just cause of the in-game art style.
>>320737069
aint it this one you must use the pen at all times?
to move and pick up stuff
>>320737045
True, it's her only flaw in AP. Petite/loli sized Luna while standing on her toes to kiss you was so cute.
>>320714370
64, FOMT, and AWL in small doses, i wish theyd do another but more fleshed out AWL with more stuff to do and a bigger town. Fucking loved that game but after a few chapters it just starts to get dull.
Isn't Popolocrois supposed to be out by now? Haven't heard any news in forever about it.
>>320724798
http://www.dlsite.com/maniax/work/=/product_id/RJ094661.html
Closest thing i can think of, though i cant say id call it 1:1 HM, still, wasnt a bad attempt.
>>320738140
Amazon says feb 16th. Not sure if that's a place holder though. I've heard very little about the game myself.
>>320735074
Runey's on paper are a great idea, however, if you want to min-max them, fucking hell its tedious, if there was a way to just manually move them from map to map without havign to vacumn them up, then spit them back out, the system woulda been so much nicer, same deal if you had a portable runey map rather than having to find the npc or going to the globe in the clock tower
>>320738140
Next year. Placeholder date is mid-Feb.
Don't forget that it's a Popolocrois game with farming, not a Bokumono game.
>>320738481
It looks interesting to say the least. I kinda enjoyed the PSP Popo game so combine that with HM type game play and it should be neat
Here's something controversial: anyone looking forward to the newNatsumegame?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rskXkimXUJU
I mean, they've learnt from last time and seem to just be making a sequel to SNES now. Should be alright for a phone game if they actually manage to not program a buggy mess for once in their lives. That may be a lot to ask of them though.
>>320738996
>Natsume
It's shit anon.
>>320739103
Natsume are somewhat a Bethesda case i guess.
They are shit.
All their games are shit.
Yet people still buy them because NAMES
>>320739980
Pretty much, plus most probably dont actually know what happened between them and marvelous so for all they know, its jsut HM going to shit. Hopefully SoS picks up steam, if they continue making such games anyway.
>>320740242
Just make a SoS HD collection of some of the GC/Wii games and they'd be set. Would be the easiest way to get the name change across at least.
>>320740539
Cant say im versed on how this stuff works but i dont think they can actually use the previous games without some sort of shit happening since natsume still "owns" the title. Granted if it did happen marvelous would probably win any real case, but, likely not something they want to deal with all the same.
>>320740810
They'd have to retranslate the game from scratch presumably, which might be more effort than they can afford, but otherwise they should be fine to do whatever as Marvelous owns the rights to the games.
>>320741189
Still more trouble than its worth probably. i dont think a majority of HM games even sold that well did it? Was always a bit of a niche series, better off spending their money/timeMaking more RF games
Animal Parade is my favorite. Played it when I was stuck on the coach with a broken leg and it made me feel so comfy.
Wizard is confirmed cutest husband.
Which game lets you play multiple characters like a dynasty?
Rune factory is fucking shit.
Best HM coming through!
Are there any farm management games for PC anyway? I'd be fine with something where I don't control a character but just do the tasks directly, too.
