Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town

Overall, my enjoyment of this game was pretty positive with some minor issues. First thing to be said, yes, this is a remake of Friends/More Friends of Mineral Town on the GBA. If you liked Friends/More Friends of Mineral Town on the GBA, Back to Nature on the PSX, or Harvest Moon 64 on the N64 back in the day, you will love this game. This is a faithful remake with some much needed quality of life upgrades and a few additions to make life easier. Pretty much, if you have played the GBA games, you can easily dive into this game and know what to do, who is who in mineral town, where certain villagers go at certain times of the day, what shops are open and when, what villager likes what present, the original heart events and some town events. Let's get into the positives first: -No littering. Holy crap, it was so annoying in the GBA version when you accidentally tossed something on the

​I was absolutely thrilled when the developers decided to remake Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. This game brings back so much nostalgia, especially the music which is so iconic and memorable. I really love the updated graphics, the new events, the added animals, and all the fresh features they brought to this version. ​That being said, there is one thing that bums me out. I was a bit disappointed to see the greenhouse removed in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. To me, the greenhouse was a huge deal because it let you grow crops without having to wait for the right season. ​Another thing that frustrated me a bit happened in my fifth year. I found out I could not marry the Harvest Goddess just because I picked the wrong dialogue option way earlier (I will not go into details to avoid spoilers). ​Other than those two things, I am completely satisfied with my experience. Thank yo

I cannot in good conscience give this game a negative review, as I'm having a lot of fun with this remake. However, bear in mind that most of this review may just be me complaining about things. With that being said, here goes: If you grew up with the original GBA version of this game in China, or played it in Chinese, you may be familiar with a community known as "pirate9". It was an online forum dedicated to this specific title - "Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town" for the Gameboy Advance. It was a bustling community, people wrote fanfic, used in-game assets to create comics and storyboards, fanart, playthrough blogs, you name it. Of course, that community also came together and pulled an impressive encyclopedia on FoMT - glitches, NPC schedules, game data, even gameshark codes, you name it. I would wake up to dozens of new posts every day and read through all of them, even contri

I think it's really fun. I would be nice if it was a little cheaper tho.
