I heard about a new harvest moon game coming out and I haven't played the series in ages so I was thinking of getting it till I saw the graphics which immediately turned me off of buying it but I still felt the urge to revisit the series so I got an older game and been playing it on and off the last few days, I forgot how much fun it was. Any one here fans of the series? Also here is a link to my harvest moon youtube video : https://youtu.be/oZpovYWx16U

Eirinn : This is for you

And for me too. I love Harvest Moon, though it's now called Story of Seasons. You can search for Story of Seasons for the games. It's still the same game series, just under a new name.

What's your favorite HM / SoS game? :3

To be honest the first one will always be my favorite it got me into a great series while I was more interested in shoot me ups and racing games

Sorry for the late post, but I've been pretty busy.

I'm obviously a fan of Harvest Moon, and in fact, before the layouts started glitching I used a Harvest Moon layout even. lol But yeah, like Aria said, Harvest Moon is now called Story of Seasons, and the games titled Harvest Moon now are made by different people (Natsume, the ones that used to publish Harvest Moon in the United States), though to be fair, I've been less than thrilled with the direction they've been taking the series for a while now, so I can't even vouch for SoS anymore. I'll have to try one out soon though, as A New Beginning was the last one I played, which wasn't as good as classic HM games, but was definitely a step in the right direction for the series, and a solid game, if slow.


My personal favorite is Back To Nature. Now I know Friends of Mineral Town was essentially a port of BTN, but FoMT changed a lot of small things and it resulted in a slightly (very slightly) inferior version of BTN in my opinion.

Next is a close call between the original and 64. I played the original a while back and it still holds up really well. In fact it made me miss the pacing of the game, which was ruined with BTN, despite it being my favorite in the series. Everything past 64 was too slow really, but still fun.

But enough rambling. I have a question for both of you...

Momo Aria :
Seimika -
Have either of you played Innocent Life, and if so, what were your thoughts on it?
Also Aria, you didn't list your favorite HM. Surely this must be rectified!

Never heard of it to be honest and I've been thinking of buying an even older harvest moon on sell on psn at this moment since it still looks better than the new one coming out in my opinion, I've also never even played a story of seasons game before either hell I've played a total of one animal crossing which I believe was either the first or second one.....while it was interesting I was still more into harvest moon just something about it was relaxing and kept my interest which is a shock since I have ADHD and can barely focus on one thing at a time. I do have a question for both of you as well, did you enjoy/watch my youtube video? If so have any feedback for me? Have any game suggestions for me? Willing to sub me? And or want to game on ps4 with me?

Eirinn : I honestly agree with you on A New Beginning. It's a good game, but such a slow start, and the Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons games have taught me that I'm so impatient. 

My favorite HM game will always be Animal Parade. I always love it and I really want to play it again.

Everyone loves Friends of Mineral Town so much, but I can't get into it....

I never played Innocent Life ;; I played Rune Factory, it's fun~

Ooh I didn't know there was a Harvest Moon on sale on PSN. I need to see if it's one I have (already got Innocent Life and Back To Nature on my PS Vita, and A Wonderful Life on PS4 even though I never liked AWL lol).

As for Animal Crossing, I've only played a day or two of New Leaf. I feel as though I would either love it or hate it if I have it a full shot.


I didn't watch the video until you asked, but I have now. I liked it. Save The Homeland was a good one, and had one of my favorite art styles of any game ever (plus the Summer farm theme was so beautiful it actually made me cry. Never had that happen with game music before or since).
Oddly my favorite part of the video was around 41:00 when you began spamming the open button at the shop. lol I do the same when a store is about to open.


Concerning game recommendations: do you want only games that I would consider similar to Harvest Moon? If so, I can think of one that I would recommend, because even though it isn't like Harvest Moon, it has a similar enough feeling to it in that it's relaxed, happy, and fun. The game is Yonder: The Cloud Catcher Chronicles.


PSN: Eirinn87. I can't play online usually, but I'm always open to new friends, so feel free to send a request if you want.

Any game you recommend I'll look into lol and yeah I completely forget to either check the time or day in that game...thus my solution of spamming doors for s***s and giggles, there's a massive Sega collection coming out soon has around 50 games and it even says it will have online features which is a bonus in my opinion lol hoping I can find a gang for golden axe and streets of rage :p I'll be doing more videos probably later today with a friend of mine...knowing him it will be mostly killing floor so if you do check my channel you'll probably find several new videos of the same game lol unless I can talk him into playing tera, orcs must die unchained or monster hunter. I'll add you later today if I remember I got to go work for a few hours so I might be so burnt out (stupid sun why must you be so bright and hot!!!!) I'll forget everything I was going to do today
