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.

this is my first time playing harvest moon & i decided to play FoMT. i just learned that this game has something called rival events which stressing me out. i was gonna take this as a peaceful game. i was never good at playing minmax style i can play entire 4 years without doing anything major & still have fun but now i can't do it. do u guys have any tips for countering it? i just wanna have some peaceful time.

Is anyone here interested in fanfiction ? I'm looking for recommendations.

I can now visit all three towns as of Summer 5. However, Kasumi does not appear at all. It seems she has an irregualr schedule going by guides yet even when I visit very early or late she is nowhere to be seen. Even Tuesday which seems to be her day off I could not find her at all. Where is she exactly and how can you meet her?

Being in this sub has made me nostalgic for the HM games I played as a kid and teen, so I’ve been thinking of revisiting some of them as an adult. I’d really like to try picking Tale of Two Towns back up, but it’s been over a decade since I last played, so I have NO idea what I was doing when I left off. I think I’d progressed my courtship pretty far, but was unable to get married because I hadn’t beaten the main story yet. I’m very hazy on the gameplay loop now, but I worry that even if I refresh myself, I’ll have trouble picking up where I left off.

Do you think it’s worth losing the progress I made for the sake of knowing what the heck is going on? For anyone who has started from scratch with a HM or SOS game, did you find that easier or even more rewarding than if you’d simply continued your old save? I’m definitely overthinking this a bit, but I’m just feeling very conflicted over potentially wiping a few years’ worth of playtime.

Thank you!

A shop sells white and black cloth and was able to make outfits with 5 white wool each. However, other outfits require more complex colors which are not sold. I expanded the barn to have more alpaca and sheep but I cannot put it out due to lack of space on farm. So I have one sheep only which slowly supplies wool. I need to build a textile eventually but it will take time to get materials. Is it going to take a long time to have a varied wardrobe or are there ways to speed up? I am playing on Seedling so money is less an issue.

I wanted to start playing Story of Seasons the first one on 3DS and was hoping I could ask here on advice to start me off. Also choose the harder difficulty.

Hi. I have been wanting to play a harvest moon game. Yesterday I was thinking about harvest moon 64. But I'm in a budget. So I thought I would ask you guys since you know about harvest moon. I have a Nintendo 3ds xl. It plays game just fine. I also have a Nintendo 64. Finally I have a PC. It is a 5th gen PC not as powerful as newer PCs. I have a android phone and tablet too but I just want to use it for calls and texts. And the tablet for reading. I have the money to buy something from Google Play store. Cant buy any games for the other ones because I have to save up for copays and meds. I was thinking about making a request tho on Gift of games subreddit. I'm avoiding violence and fantasy.

Trio of Towns actually allows you to obtain all clothing regardless of gender unlike some past games where clothes were exclusive to gender. I haven't gotten the materials needed to upgrade but do feel curious about trying out the variety of clothes that can be worn. And wondered if any players actually enjoy wearing the outfits opposite to their gender in this game.

I just saw a tiktok where ppl were calling Luna (as in the character from Tree of Tranquillity and Animal Parade) "pdfile bait" and how ppl that romanced her were predators. And im just genuinely flabbergasted, has this always been an opinion ive missed or is this a new fan problem??

I've never romanced the character myself (I was a Gil fangirl lol) but I thought she was so cool growing up, I loved her lolita fashion, design and even her name. So maybe im taking it a little personally, but idk, it felt like such a callous and heinous comment to make. Like HM/SoS has always had a soft chibi art style, everybody especially in the older stuff had cutesy faces and designs, it didnt mean you were dating an elementary student.

It makes me worried if we were to ever get an AP (or ToT) remake, that these would be the kind of sentiments and fans we would have to deal with and wow, it bums me out.
