for what it's worth, Iris' heart events are every bit as creepy. she also keeps going on and on about the ENORMOUS age difference between you both, and is super into mind games. if you don't humor her and play along with all of them like a patsy, she loses massive amounts of FP

i think the devs are subtly trying to warn children against the dangers of abusive relationships


e: here this is what i'm talking about. wtf is wrong with these two?

lol do you people actually think "person is getting older and fears they'll be single forever" is some weird japanese trope?

have you ever seen a sitcom or romantic comedy before

i don't know about japan but in china it's wayyyy more of a thing than in the west. like at 24, single women will start expressing their fears of it in a dead-serious fashion. i imagine it's similar in japan

That's a huge thing in Anime. Look up the branch leader or the girl worrying about her age and she'll be 25.

i know a 26 year old single chinese woman whose mom puts so much pressure on her to marry that she has panic attacks and said she'd probably marry this guy who's interested in her but who she hates in the next two years. she probably will and it's really sad

this is a common occurrence in china, unlike in the west. it's probably similar in japan

anyway, i started playing SoS again and i have no idea what i was doing or how all the systems work. it sucks but the game is pretty fun

I like it. They made the characters less deformed and the tools actually work on multiple squares. The farm kinda looks like they just swapped out the mountain background for some planes but that's fine.

Stardew - I hope he's letting someone else handle the porting and actually just working on new content himself.

Harvest Moon - Yep, won't be playing this one either.

On the other hand, harvesting still looks like it takes absolute eons. Story of Seasons had a great way of doing it what with harvesting the whole field at once, and Rune Factory 4 just let you sprint around grabbing all the vegetables quickly. Going back to incredibly slow picking feels so boring.

Well good news! The publisher of Stardew Valley announced a little while ago that they would be handling the porting, localization, and multiplayer so ConcernedApe could focus on adding content, which I thought was pretty cool of them.

That actually looks a million times better than their first attempt, I might consider grabbing it if it becomes discounted.

Friend to Fishes. Just keep swimming.
It's a bit strange, but TLV has really grown on me when I'm in the mood for a simpler Harvest Moon experience. I'll probably grab their new one, and the Three Towns, too. I like SoS but it feels overwhelming sometimes.

Also, I guess I'm not really that into multiplayer on Stardew Valley, so I'll be okay.

Story of Seasons is 19.99 digital right now so I bought it.

If I recall correctly, it is the true Harvest Moon, and the games that actually have that name are shovel ware usurper crap?

Is story of seasons a new franchise or just the group's first farming Sim without the HM name?

SoS is the first farming sim without the HM name. The HM one this time around was a Minecrafty type that wasn't as bad as the aesthetics made it out to be.

Story of Seasons is the original franchise, branded with a new name cause Xseed/Marvelous doesn't own the rights to the name Harvest Moon.

Natsume started developing their own Harvest Moon games since they lost the distribution rights to the original franchise.

more or less. story of seasons even uses the exact same engine and graphical assets as HM: ANB and some of the characters from ToTT, along with easter egg music clips from previous HMs. but i heard that the 'usurper crap' natsume titles weren't all that bad, just kind of a different formula. the phone game, however, should be avoided like leprosy

also gently caress the 3ds store, i just paid fuckin full price for story of seasons!



e. the music clips from past games just served to remind me how sucky the SoS music is. there is NO excuse for not having a sound settings menu. :( i hate having to mute the entire 3ds because one sound channel is making my brain melt...

it's flawed but I like the villages and running around the mountain, feeding all the animals :3: I told myself I'd move on once I get the hot spring built though

Klaus seems ...not great :( /probably/ going to end up romancing the botanist from tott in seasons too but being able to crossdress my farmer has me thinking about changing things up a bit :)

as cute as Cam was in tott, I kinda wish Kana was in SoS instead, he was sweetest dork

From Natsume's community manager: "I'll have longer answers next week, but the picking animation *is* faster than TLV and the team is working on optimizing it further. There will also be the option to multi-pick, by default, no tool needed, up to 3x3."
