Do you remember the farest you where in any HM game?

I think mine was in FoMT, I only missed two jewels of truth. Maybe something like year 4 ?
For AWL it was year 3 or 4 too.
And I think HM DS was like year 6
(these are my 3 favorite HM games)
I managed to beat the original SNES Harvest Moon, which ended about halfway through Year 3... and I also got the bad ending because I was dumb with my gold. Oh well.


And I never knew about the vacation homes in FoMT, though I just looked them up. I only have the PS2 version of AWL and never had nor really want a Gamecube, so I'll probably never get the seaside cottage, but the other two should be doable...after playing for a loooong time. Apparently one of them costs 100,000,000 gold and 999 pieces of wood to get and the other requires that you be married for 50 years to get it.

Yup, I saw this too. That's a lot!!
I guess you can just befriend the Harvest Spirits, do them do some work on the farm (like take care of animals) and sleep through the game (take some time to give gifts to the harvest spirits).
Or sell all the animals and sleep through the game...

Oh my goodness can you imagine how the spouse character and child must feel? The main character essentially sleeping for 50 years... o.o

*Optional --> Are you playing an HM game these days? I did purchase The Lost Valley for the 3DS but it felt like a Harvest Moon game in name only. There's no town, only 3 marriage candidates, and the whole game feels like it lacks depth. It was pretty disappointing. -_- Luckily, Story of Seasons is only a month away, and that one looks great.

Hello ^_^Better late than never!! :)

Oohhh HM64, a classic that I've never really played in depth (shame on me x.x ) It is my friend's favorite!! (and an all time love one I think).
And yes The Lost Valley don't really look like a .good. harvest moon game (but hey that's only my opinion!) I hope you'll have more fun with Story of season! ;)

How far are you in your game right now?

i think i didn't even answer the topic yet...
Do you remember the farthest you were in any HM game?
... to be honest whenever i started playing again after a long hiatus i wanted to start over again. so i don't think i ever got further in a HM game than year 2 or so, haha.
(and so, obviously i never got any of the vacation houses either)

i'm a huge perfectionist when it comes to HM; i always need to find ways to spend my energy in the most efficient way possible and make the most money cause else i feel like i'm missing out. how do you deal with this? specifically cause time goes so fast in FoMT! it'd take hours just for a trip downtown, and then there's still work to do at the farm. and honestly i think it's so tiring to have to gift everyone every day to get them to like you ( ´ ▽ ` )ゞ i gave Gray an egg every day, but then of course i also wouldn't get the income from that egg... i don't know, i felt like i wasn't getting anywhere fast!
(this is really making me want to play again though haha!)

true, in the mines days lasted forever, and you could make a lot of money out of that. though honestly i loved just doing work on the farm itself most, but to me it felt like the work on the farm is something you're supposed to leave to the harvest sprites while you yourself go off doing everything BUT farming.

i think, once i have a bit more time, i might play MFoMT again, but just in a relaxed way, and see how far i get. it's technically impossible to get stuck, and as long as you woo your favourite bachelor enough so they won't marry the rival, it's okay, right?

do love rivals actually still exist in the latest Harvest Moon games? cause they weren't there in ToTT if i remember correctly. it partly makes me sad if they aren't, but at the same time it does make the game more relaxed, haha!

I love this feature! In Animal Parade they have children too. That's awesome.

Are you playing an HM game these days? I've just recently restarted my ANB file, but I haven't made much progress yet. ^^; (I didn't make much progress on my old file, either. I'm too easily distracted recently.)

I'm taking a little mini-break from it but I have a save file for StH I'm trying to get all the endings for, I have A New Beginning that I play through on my 3DS, and I'm going to buy Story of Seasons at the end of this month /o/ I'm also debating on buying the special edition A Wonderful Life from the PSN Store since I recently found out it's on there for $10...

Another STH fan! Yay. I never meet other people who loved that game, it's sad. I thought it had the best storyline and characters. I really wish I could still play, but I don't have a PS2 anymore. siigh. (I did for a while consider getting a PSP just so I could play the remake...)

It's definitely the biggest underdog of the series! It was my first so I'm particularly nostalgic with it and I do agree that it has the best (and most diverse) cast of characters! I'm so happy that my PS3 has backwards compatibility so that I can still play it - but I know it's on the PSN store for $10 as well! And I got a PSP to play Hero of Leaf Valley but I haven't played it yet, I've been a little intimidated by reviews saying it's one of the most difficult HM games haha....

It was my first, too! That may be a big part of my love for it, haha. I really need to get a PS3 at some point. I hardly ever play console games nowadays.

Oh, I hadn't heard that. Is the story supposed to be difficult to get through or is it the gameplay, do you know? I didn't look at too many reviews, to be honest, I was already sold on it when I found out I could marry Gwen and watch rival heart events. I'm easy.

Yeah, instead of the player having a full year to pretty much save the village however they can, in HoLV the player has to earn a certain amount of money by a specific time, see certain events on specific dates, and a lot of other little "tracking" things that seem tedious... I thought StH was perfectly paced because a year was always the perfect amount of time to pick a story to clear while working on my own farm as well. I really should give HoLV a shot before passing too much judgment though, but I'm so intimidated 8(

Oh! Yeah, that sounds tricky. ;( I agree on STH being perfectly paced, I really liked how the storylines played out. It's too bad they had to change things up. Maybe it's not quite as hard as it sounds, though? I hope so, at least, I still want to try it out sometime...

I really do want to try it! I've been itching to play my PSP and that would be the perfect game to start playing. I think I'll try to go about finding a good guide to help me through it because I've never been so intimidated by a game before, honestly... lol! It might be because I'm such a perfectionist in all of my Harvest Moon games though, I try to get the best products ASAP and woo all of the bachelor(ette)s before the end of the year, and basically all of these ridiculous goals and such.

I think I might be having horror flashbacks from the time when I first started playing StH when I was really little and kept failing and not saving the town within a year... that was traumatizing :(

Oh I feel you haha. But a guide sounds like a good idea, that might be the key. Be sure to report back here if you do decide to try it out, I'd love to hear about it. ;P I usually spend a bit of time checking out guides before I start a Harvest Moon game, I'm always worried I'll miss out on something, or not save the right items, or something. I pretty much just try being everyone's best friend and hording items like crazy, it works out pretty well.

Oh and yikes, yeah, that does not sound fun. I restarted my file a couple of times because I just had no idea what I was doing, I'd mess everything up and waste sooo much time. Good times.......

*Optional --> Are you playing an HM game these days?
Yes, I still have an emulated version of FoMT on my phone, and play it when bored (alternating HM with pokemon pinball). Although I do actually still play the Rune factory series, actually

I am an avid HM supporter, and have emulated pretty much everything, minus the 3ds/wii ones, and the remakes/ones on non-nintendo systems...
For the most part I've gotten really into the Rune Factory set, playing through all for full completion. I've become more of a fan of the RF series, due to the major RPG influence and the "infiniteness" of the game, as it can be played for hours well after full completion, unlike the earlier games. FoMT will always be my favorite though, as it was introduction to the series, and overall an awesome game. Yes, I actually completed all of it (before I even knew what gameshark was) on my GBA cartridge, including a full farm of golden lumber and all houses... Would love to talk to other lovers of the HM series, a lot due to the fact that I've been inactive on this site for such a long time (despite not making many posts when I first joined either)

Do you have a Harvest Moon game you never played but you really want to?

All three (soon to be four- and no, I am not counting The Lost Valley) 3DS games, and I also sort of want to give Rune Factory another shot. I tried 2 a long time ago and ended up being incredibly disappointed by it, but I'm wondering if that may have just been because I went into it with my expectations raised way too high.

Sounds fun! I've actually never tried ANB's multiplayer option before. (:

So, club members, do you have a Havrest Moon game you never played but you really want to?
I reeeally wanted Hero of Leaf Valley for a long time (still do), but I never got a PSP, so blah. I remember there was also a Rune Factory game on the Wii I really wanted to play, too. Not sure why I never got that one, though. Hmm.

I really want to play Animal Parade! :o The Wii HMs look pretty fun.
Animal Parade is great! It's the best HM game for the Wii, imo. (Although I guess there aren't really that many HM games on the Wii, haha...)
