Dissatisfaction and regret. The pain of knowing I will never be 12 playing Harvest Moon for the first time ever again.

heard there will be DLC.
Any more infos about that?

So I guess they're sticking with an art style now?

Waifus aren't as good, except maybe fox girl.

it will be embarassingly worse than stardew valley

Explain.

Ask nicely and I might.

>What are you expecting from it?

Revamped vendor/shop system to be less limited, make it so unlocking more vendors/more end-game stuff isn't always shipping X amount of gold and more about completing some special quests or something

Revamp conquest concept

Revamp fertility/crop quality concept

More different things to do each day

etc

The best experience from the series in a long time just for actually having a stable frame rate

Will likely not buy because no Hamtaro though, definitely won't if the updates aren't brought

Story of Seasons was much better than Stardew Valley, tho

nope it was shit

Waiting for Switch SoS

SoS was much better simply based on the fact that the crafting system was expanded to be much more interesting.

Fun.

I'm going to marry the qt teacher.

I can't wait for people to tell me that no THIS is the one that finally makes the series good again just like the last 3 games in the series.

Face it, HM/SoS has been shovelware since Magical Melody

so is this the Harvest Moon devs under a new publisher making a 'spiritual successor' because they don't own the name?
never played a Harvest Moon but I really should

Of course, indieshit cant compete against a real developer.

It's the same exact series, devs and they just lost the rights to the English title "Harvest Moon" so the localizers call it "Story of Seasons" now.

Meanwhile the company that owns the name "Harvest Moon" is making minecraft shit that doesn't even come out in Japan hoping people will get confused

The series has always been called Bokujō Monogatari (Farm Story) in Japan. The name confusion is just drama with the localization companies and doesn't affect the developers at all.

lmao

Essentially. Story of Seasons is the new name for the series in the west.
Xseed is the new publisher because they are now owned by Marvelous.
The localization can now be done internally unlike with the old publisher,

Any new game with Harvest Moon in the title is made by the old publisher and has no connections to the real series. Those have Natsume's name on the product.

The name change only affects western fans, but the japanese name is still the same.

Harvest Moon core gameplay peaked with 64/Friends of Mineral Town and ever since then it's just a new gimmick and new anime characters to fuck every time. The charm of the series has been wrung out so hard I don't know why anyone still bothers.

That's just your nostalgiafag opinion.

But he's completely right.

If Harvest Moon DS didn't have the gay touch screen gimmicks and the 100 sprite collectathon, it would've been perfect.

After that, the series spiralled down into gimmick after gimmick, or 'collect 100s of these things to progress.'

>island of happiness: collect villagers plus touch screen gimmicks plus the horrible crop water/sun point system, also tool upgrading was 100% cancer
>sunshine islands: collect these suns, raise up the islands, more sun/water bullshit
>grand bazaar: it was okay, wind gimmick wasn't too bad, only being able to sell shit once a week was not good, but more importantly the map was too fucking small
>ToTT: the two town gimmick was pretty lame, there's little to no actual bad blood between the towns
>ANB: to be fair, I liked the town planning, didn't like the long tutorial, the slow start, and unlocking villagers
>SoS: slow start, stupid market gimmick, having to fight over specialty crop areas is dumb as fuck too

DS was a buggy mess that shouldn't have made it out of QA.

Unfortunately that was only because of natsume's incompetence. A lot of the bugs had already been fixed in the japanese version, but they built the translation on the buggy 1.0 version.

Not to mention they managed to introduce a shit ton of further bugs AND THEN they censored the girl's version.

And people trust natsume to make their own games? Now that shit is funny.

Even if it wasn't, the forced touch screen usage ruins it either way. In previous game's brushing your livestock takes like 2 seconds. In DS it's a 5 minute minigame per animal

I want another HM on a home console god damnit

Disappointment. Modern Harvest Moon is trash and Stardew Valley w/ mods renders even 64, BTN and FoMT obsolete.

>And people trust natsume to make their own games?

I don't think literally anyone except housewives are buying them

I think Kasumi will be one of the more popular bachelorettes among western fans for this game.

What's the best "Harvest Moon" named game on 3DS? I already have SoS and RF4, but I just want to know if any of the nu-Harvest Moon games are worth getting, even if they're cheap.

I know,, which is why I said "without the gimmicks and the gay sprite collectathon." It would've been great. It had a ton of waifus, a big map, and lots of shit to do. If only it could be romhacked.

Tell that to their fan forums. Hell, even people on Sup Forums have defended them before.

A New Beginning was pretty good but the tutorial is long and drawn out as fuck.

Who cares. RF5 when?

I like RF better, too bad its dead

If you already have SoS then just wait until the new game comes out at the end of this month.

It's a shame I don't know shit about coding, I really wanted to port FoMT to Stardew Valley.

I bought RF4 on Sup Forums's recommendation and it was one of the biggest disappointments I ever had.

It's the perfect embodiment of the phrase "vast as an ocean, deep as a puddle." There is so MUCH you can do in that game and virtually none of it is satisfying at all.

should have got rf3 instead

Not to mention the art direction is only appealing to homsexuals.

Pastel colors, really?

>complaining about the soft artstyle
You're the real fag

RF3 is even more shallow, its only redeeming quirk is the quirky waifus.

I expect 5 to 10 FPS like it's prequel

I wanted to play Stardew but the graphics look like fucking ass

I'm not a fan of this hideous terraria style

I played both and SoS doesn't even come close in quantity and quality

It is ok to have shit taste.

Graphics mods, nigga.

I haven't played this game in a while, though, let me check the nexus for the ones I used

Don't, it's fucking shit. The farming sucks, the "combat" sucks, the "story" sucks, the girls are all shit except for 1, graphics are shit, there's maybe 2 good songs in the entire game, town stays the same unless you do bad "route", making money is a joke, the festivals are an even bigger joke etc.

The only people that like it are the fags that only care about making their farm pretty and the people that never got to play a HM/RF game.
I've already played it, it's leagues better than that trash.
There were no framerate issues when I last played the JP version.

>A new bachelor and bachelorette: Stephanie the contest MC and Woofio. Yes, Woofio the contest judge in the dog suit. This includes new resident and romance events for these characters.

I've lived long enough for Harvest Moon to have introduced fur-suited love interests. There is nothing else left for me now.

I know they aren't all-encompassing, but these are the ones I cobbled together so it looks less like "slapped together sprite work" and more like a different game. Add a weeb portrait mod of your choice and you'll be good to go.

this fixes some of the animals

Stardew Valley is rather reminiscent of the older HM games, like the SNES game, the GBA games, sort of the GB games.If you don't enjoy those, then you won't like SV. Simple as that.

Woofio sounds like a cool guy based on his event summaries from one of the people on fogu.

>no ones posted it yet

that's pretty good

Does this game have submissive shota bachelors yet?

Who will you be wooing Sup Forums?
Chart is a slightly out of date now that they made changes to some of the localized names, but these are still your new marriage candidates.

>WOOFIO

*barks erotically*

Does it have Japanese voices at least this time or did XSEED cheapen again and force english dubs?

Pr0n fanart

>another futa

First there was Jamie, now there's a fox-thing?

>no loli
I'll stay single I guess.

Inari is the new Jamie. Special candidate just like marrying the harvest Goddess or King.

>Look up about fox girl/guy because I love me some fluffy tails
>Apparently they have no dating events and your child just kinda warps into existence

Fuck.

I'll take "the exact same shit as every other game" for 100, Alex.

>MC
kek

>3DPD mode for sage

Muy fucking sides

Wayne looks like the right type for me.

Kasumi

"Trio of towns"? Sounds like they've introduced another series tarnishing gimmick.
I don't want my world to feel fractured. I just want one awesome town filled with a ton of cool shit.

I can't decide if I either want cute tomboy or cute teacher

I know that feel

I'm indecisive. Inari's my favourite because of that old fashioned dialect but it's a tragic love not meant to be, so I'll probably just go for Yuzuki.

disappointment since all i want is a wonderful life round 2 electric boogaloo

Guys i bought Harvest moon and story of season for my mom, wich one she should play first(or both in same time) ?

are the 'uka's indian?

I'll be gettin me some curry if so

Will probably decide based off personality when I actually play it if I do

Shame Emcee and Woofio are DLC only and said DLC may not come

Kind of. Lulucoco's a blend of Southeast Asia, sort of like Thailand or so on.

These games always take 8-10 hours to really get going and are always a letdown. Is it just nostalgia that makes me think HM64 was the best gameplay the series ever achieved?

Respond pls

How come the art direction for these games got progressively worse as the went on? I can't get over how shitty this character designer is.

bump for response

>We'll have quality FoMT tier waifus again
Trio of Twons character portraits are awful.

>sameface valley
>better than anything
lol

you nigger stardew valley is literally the only harvest moon-like game without sameface, because it's not made by weebs for weebs
