Remakes and What’s next
I would love a remaster or faithful remake of Harvest Moon Animal Parade with updated loading times and graphics. The storyline is my favorite, but the slow loading and how long it takes to go to the different area’s bogs down gameplay.
I wouldn’t want them to remove the rival marriages because seeing other couples and children made the game feel so much more alive. The Bar is also something I hope they won’t change in the future. I love the mechanic of being able to ride all the animals, and the horse model is my all time favorite from all their games that I’ve played. I’d hate to get the wonky horses like the current games we have when the horses are peak in Animal Parade!
For what I would love to see changed, as mentioned above loading times, and graphics. Updated character models, with customization for the player character. More clothing options for the player character and for the non player characters. Adding the color variations and more animals with the variations like in grand bazaar would be perfect! (More duck and chicken species too, or at least the colorations to make them look like different kinds) Adding more space on the farm to be able to house and care for more animals.
Perhaps some more events could be added to interact with the community and the sprites.
Being able to have more pets? Yes please! XD To be fair I just want all the animals I could possibly have in the game.
Animal Parade is such a nostalgic game for me, so much is amazing and they could also improve some aspects as well. My biggest fear for if they did remake it, is that all the love might be taken away and the charm of the original designs of the characters to look like the current models they have. (Not horrible, just prefer the uniqueness of the Wii Tree of Tranquility and Animal parade games)
What do you guys think? I’d love to know your thoughts and have a discussion.
