Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, and other similar games!

That was my cat, as she walked across the keyboard. I thought it was too cute not to include. I eventually gave up on the fashion contest, I clearly needed jewelry I did not have in order to win. I lost to Marian though, so that was still kinda cool.

Still organizing my farm, I let the spice field go. I keep running out of space in my fridge/storage box though, even when I try to use up some of the ingredients in cooking.

 

Do you keep merging the stacks once the fresh label wears off?

 

Omfg I am playing tale of two towns after finding it cheap, at first I was disappointed by all the bachelors (kana not being a butch lesbian is the biggest disappointment, he's just a pretty jock as a dude) but then cam started asking for food for cats and now we're engaged.

Seriously all the other bachelors were too friendly! Even the corny violinist. I wish I could have dated Reina but I resent having to play as a boy and make it het. (please give us our gays)

I think for story of seasons im going to fall head over heels for the landscaper fellow

 

I went for Cam in my game too, he's a precious button. And married Nadi the landscaper in SoS. 10/10 highly recommend. Kamil is.. kind of different in this game? Aside from showing up so late in game, he's just really ... I can't put my finger on it. It's like something happened between the last game and here to him. He's watered down a good deal.

 

... I impulse bought SoS. Can't wait to meet the hot landscaper.

Also fashion yes please.

 

Hot landscaper is a tsundere, but totally worth it. I also can't entire peg an age on him? He keeps referring to "his old heart" when talking about the kids cuteness putting a strain on him. Maybe he'd just one of those people who tend to feel old in spirit.

 

That sounds like a clucky dude trying to make excuses about feeling things about children.

 

Yeah basically. Like, apparently he doesn't like kids much. ..But when he actually sits down and chills the fuck out he's a gigantic goober around them. Big nerd with a ton of insecurities. Grade A husband, tho most folks on here are aiming for the chef.

 

the chef sounds adorable but i will see. the characters seem a lot less flat than the bachelors in tott

 

They have 10x more personality, I don't think I've ever finish my ToTT game now that I've been enjoying this one so much. It's just. so much easier to DO things and bond and farm, without taking away any of the play factor. Even the folks I didn't marry I'm still head over heels for, and the non-gendered clothing and ability to change your name at any time is a major plus for my brain. :D

eta: well, I mean there are some labeled specifically boy or girl, but you can wear literally anything without anyone commenting anything but positive.

 

during one of my many attempts at the fashion show I lost to Klaus. His male model wore this:



so yeah the game does not punish you for crossdressing in any way, shape or form.

 

I haven't played any of the newer Harvest Moon games, but god did I love Friends of Mineral Town and More Friends of Mineral Town.

(It's kind of impressive how far the graphics have come. For the longest time in FoMT I thought that the bean sprouts I was finding on the mountain were actually fish, so I kept chucking them in my pond.)

 

Even cooler in this game re: fashion.
You can turn your avatar around. You can have them do a full 360 in the closet to see the haircuts and the cut of the clothes before running them in the wild.

in other news: i am grumpy and want my fucking camels. :POUNDS FISTS ON TABLETOP:

 

i got me a chicken shed and chicken awwwwwww yissssss
I also have the blueprint for the sewing shed but i didn't have five wool hoarded so waiting for teddy to produce some sweet materials :P
the crossroads bunny lets me pick it up now :O so adorable. I have no idea if this DOES anything for me but it's so cute.
I also am now in ownership of the honey and mushroom field. Elise can feel free to just feel super mad.

 

i am grumpy till we finally gtfo out here, because i can't charge my 3ds here. 8I at all. even with the adapter. unless i want toasted 3ds at least.

 

oh that sucks D:

 

I am playing through Spring Year 2, and saw Raeger's pink heart event! It was fun xD

I also suddenly had the realization that I could get married at any time after he has a red heart, and just save my house upgrade for the specific day that I want my character to get preggo. So yes self, you can totally have a winter anniversary and spring babies, as long as you can wait an extra year. How did it take me so long to figure this out? ._.

Also Ellise better PREPARE HERSELF I just challenged her for her rice paddy. Not that it will help. I saved waaaaay too many linens for this. my time has come! >:D

 

@liminal MAKE HER EAT A BUG WHEN SHE LOSES. PICK SOMETHING SLIMY.

 

Oh no I saw Klaus' purple heart event and I love this creepy old man. Nadi is a little too tsun and not quite enough goofball, his reaction to his favourite item was underwhelming.

I won the honey and mush field from Elise the other day but it's winter :( I want my beeeeeeeees

 

I did a count. I saved up 108 silver linen cloth and 95 golden linen cloth *laughs ominously*
