And I get it, but some people have their nostalgia goggles forgetting just how slow this game played. Now if you can run this in an emulator where you can speed up the in-game time every so often, I promise you will have an amazing time replaying BTN. If you wish to experience the wonderfully old-school style of HM: Back to Nature, yet with a slightly upgrade style, then I recommend this updated version compiled by Marvelous Interactive for the PSP.
Not only does it deal with a couple of bugs and streamline the experience, it also allows you to play as a girl if you so desire! This is available on the PSN so you can play with the added fixes, somewhat updated graphics, but still get the exact same Back to Nature feeling out of it. Although the graphics feel strangely downgraded when compared to Save the Homeland, the game-play itself is an upgrade in almost every way. So you get them pregnant to milk them again.
The game focuses much more on the farming aspect of the series, adding more crop variety and even fruit trees which had never been in any other game before. You also get to age and grow older so this game, after a very long time , will eventually come to an end. With many different endings too!
This is a game for people with a lot of time who want to truly delve deep into the roleplaying aspect of Harvest Moon. HM: Another Wonderful Life came out a year later to fix that issue, allowing you to play as a girl and fixing a couple of other things with minor additions.
Both games are great and both will please the same target audience. Trio of Towns also achieves what I consider to be the perfect pacing for such a game, letting you get accustomed to each new feature before giving you something new.
Which also makes it one of the most loved games of out every Harvest Moon title, period. This design choice seems to have been the right one, especially to market the game to new players rather than longtime fans. You can get a lot done with just minutes of gameplay in HM Animal Parade is the second entry on the console and it features highly customizable clothing and very cute graphics. All of the core game elements are beautifully executed in this game, and a lot of them are also expanded upon from older titles.
For example, you can have two kids rather than one after marrying. These children will take on some personality traits and looks of their other parent, which makes them much more of a character and less of a glorified pet. So having kids here is actually an adventure itself rather than just a gimmicky gameplay mechanic. The main feature of the game, however, is the enormous amount of animals to interact with and have as pets.
The story follows the protagonist as they try to re-connect the village and its population with nature. You need to create magical rainbow bridges with different ingredients to access more areas, which greatly streamlines progression into an orderly well-paced structure.
This also encourages foraging and generally dabbling in every activity the game has to offer to get said ingredients. Graphics are pretty solid, music is great, and the farming element is not lost in the shuffle. It was made for the GBA following the same setting as HM: Back to Nature, but with a ton of extras and re-built specifically for the handheld. It features some of the most beautiful sprites that the Harvest Moon franchise had seen to date.
Still, Friends of Mineral Town somehow managed to find the perfect balance. Take that and couple it with its bouncy personality and endearing characters, along with the framework of a classic title Back to Nature and you get an experience that truly feels like classic, yet also fresh, Harvest Moon.
And even though newer titles offer a lot of newer awesome stuff I still have to rank FoMT as the best Harvest Moon experience. There's for me a few too many tsundere characters but I've learned to ignore them.
There are little changes in dialog as the game progresses, an improvement over Grand Bazaar but still far below Rune Factory 3. The main fun and new feature is in laying out buildings and paths and decorations on your farm and town. I voted for Grand Bazaar as I enjoy the relaxing pace the most when I want to unwind - but I honestly find myself going back most often to RF3, for the characters.
OniNoMeKyo 9 years ago Using the touch screen to move and interact with the surroundings is what put me off on the DS games. The reason why I like this one more is because you actually use the control pad this case, the analog stick to move around.
That and having the ability to move my farmland away from the front of my house is a big plus for me. Number of people who fell for it: 5.

Crop Festival? The game allows the player to pick from either gender and is a step up from the DS title Island of Happiness which also featured the Sunshine Islands. The game adds in additional marriage partners, tasks the player with expanding the island, and added in rival marriages. Players must worry about caring for their farm while also trying to find sun stones to unlock the other islands in the game, including islands that helped players acquire new animals and crops.
The game differs somewhat from the play structure of others in that the player needs to gather musical notes by accomplishing chores and hitting milestones. This will eventually enable the player to create a magical melody, which will revive the Harvest Goddess from her stony prison. The game offered something new and different to the franchise, which made it a fun and innovative inclusion in the series. Harvest Moon: Animal Parade was released for the Wii back in The game features the same elements and characters as Harvest Moon: Tree of Tranquility.
As the title suggests, there are numerous animals available to the player, all of which can be ridden by the player. Thanks to the inclusion of circus animals, this game feels fresh and inviting. Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns once again took the series in a surprising direction by adding in three separate towns. The DS title released in , with three different towns molded after three different cultures. It introduced several different breeds of dogs, taking pets around town, and being able to decorate your home.
The game also pulled in many veteran players with its roster of 14 unique marriage candidates. The player is tasked with bringing the three towns together and learning to explore their unique cultures. Thanks to the wide range of villagers, there are more NPCs than normal, giving players focused on the more social elements of the game series tons to do and more lore to dive into.
