CHARACTER CREATION • NEW GAME MECHANICS • CUTSCENES | Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

[@justinthecrimsonninja]

10:45 The reason people figured out the Mr. Pots secret in the original PS2/3/4 versions of the game is because a Special Edition exclusive dialogue can be triggered if you befriend Nina. Around fall or winter you talk to her, she talks about a dream she had about Mr. Pots and the Harvest Sprites. :) I only know this from playing (and beating) the SE more than once. :)

[@yeahSkippy]

Omg thank you!!! That's such great clarification. 😁😁

[@ElegantHope]

it seems like they're really trying to emulate the old animations, even if they look silly. it does kind of bring some nostalgia back to me with seeing them.

[@yeahSkippy]

Yes! I thought so too. The holding of the cat specifically and the way the characters move and glide across the ground. 😄 So I assume that's what they're going for.

[@eludeirkz7961]

the animal walk cycles are giving me major nostalgia vibes lmao. it honestly just looks like this is the OG AWL with a fresh coat of paint and im honestly here for it.

[@yeahSkippy]

Definitely 😂 I mean at first I was sort of offput on them but they grew on me. My only real complaint is the level of darkness, or rather the lack thereof, and the running speed inside is insane. I hope it's toggled by how hard you push on the left stick lol.

[@copyer9088]

Game looks great so far however I’m a not a big fan of some character redesigns such as Cody

[@DiegeticDogma]

Thanks for uploading, Skippy! I appreciate you taking the time to cut an hour and a half long vid down to 16 minutes, and explaining things along the way! 😁

[@yeahSkippy]

Aww, thank you so much!! 😊 Yeah, it's really a fun watch. It doesn't feel that long but I know some people just want a quick recap or they don't have the time to dedicate 90 minutes to gameplay reveal lol. I'm happy with what we got to see and what we learned that we didn't know before!

[@PopCultureFan_]

Character custiomization, my favourite part!!

[@yeahSkippy]

Same! Some of the outfits are really cool. I can't wait to switch out throughout the seasons 😁

[@batmabel]

I never played the original, so I'm really excited for this remake. I grew up with Back to Nature and remember looking at this game on magazines a lot, it was my dream game and I never got to play it cause I didn't have a PS2 lmao

[@yeahSkippy]

Oh dang! I've heard BtN was one of the best ones out there, a lot like this. I'm sure you'll definitely enjoy this remake then. :) My dream was to play the PS2 Special Edition to have a daughter, though I never had that chance so here it is now!

[@BlackSkarrow]

I straight up died when the guy playing through the demo triggered Rock's first heart event so easily 😭My AWL trauma is returning full force lmao

[@yeahSkippy]

It's gonna be a very entertaining first day 😅 I hope they've added at least a few more unique cutscenes even if they aren't heart events.

[@TheUncommonCold]

Hey there!! The algorithm correctly guessed that I would enjoy this video. It was such a delight! You have a wonderful voice and good opinions/comments on the gameplay we got. :) Can not wait for your next video!! Have a nice day!! ☆

Thank you so so much! I'm happy you found my content and enjoyed it. 🤗 more to come soon! Have a great day as well. 😊

[@BlackSkarrow]

I rewatched the entire thing and I didnt see any option to choose between normal and seedling mode, which is a difficulty setting that's been implemented in previous recent games. And yet, despite playing on a "fresh" file, when the demo player goes to Vesta's farm and interacts with Matthew and Cecilia, their heads visibly turn in the MC's direction. In the original games, this usually indicated that you were on friendly enough terms with the townspeople. Which means that this demo probably has the bachelors/bachelorettes affection artificially boosted for the sake of the gameplay preview. It's nice to see the head turning mechanic come back, it was a very efficient way of gauging friendship levels with important npcs (like Daryl).

[@yeahSkippy]

I don't know if I ever noticed that! But it doesn't surprise me because obviously near the end he is in a CHP 2 file in Autumn. These sorts of gameplay reveals are never exactly how it will be when the game comes out. Usually at least a little different. Good eye tho!!

[@MercedesLefrancois]

So excited about everything, love the dark brown colour for the floppy ear dog!

[@yeahSkippy]

They're both so cute! I still don't know which I will choose.

[@LumaGooma]

I don’t know why people are disappointed. With how little time the team gets between entries this game was never going to be a triple A remake. I’m actually super pleasantly surprised how much they stayed true adding useful things like the low tide bridge. The only thing I’m concerned is the frame rate since RF5 is one of the worst cases I’ve seen in terms of playability. Why I’m probably picking up two copies on different systems:/

[@yeahSkippy]

I hope the frame rate will be a non-issue (some of it in this video is my recording) and as for the additives they've put, I love. The crossing in the river is the most surprising. I can't wait to see what else they chose to add!

[@AnimeGirl4891]

I’m so excited to play the very first Harvest Moon game I ever played. Only more beautiful and cute. Now we just need to know when the release date for this summer

[@yeahSkippy]

Yes! I am super excited as well :) In my newest video, I go over the expected release date if you haven't watched it yet (sorry I am replying late) but if you don't wanna check that out I suspect it to be 6/20/2023 based off of GameStop and Amazon listings.

My only complaint so far is the changes done to the horse. He had such personality and expressive emotes but now it looks, for lack of a better comparison, a pool floatie.

[@yeahSkippy]

"a pool floatie" 😂 you know at some angles it's okay, and at others it is not. I hope in-game at most times, it won't be as strange as some of the screenshots we got.

[@sonia_nya]

There seems to be some fps dipping which is concerning. But hopefully on launch day that will be fixed. Especially noticeable in Ramona's house with the light beams from the windows and Rock's cutscene.

[@yeahSkippy]

I think some of that is my recording so I wouldn't worry _too_ much. We know how these games can be on Switch regardless but I do think the worst of it was some weird recording I got lol. I imagine most issues will be fixed for launch and I can imagine by the time we get it in June it should be fixed or at least better optimized.

I replayed the PS2 Special Edition AWL two years ago and I will gladly say I am looking forward to how fast the movement is going to be! LOL... I have no idea how I got anything done in a day back when I first played it as a preteen.. I had the patience of a saint, because I was basically screaming at the game to go faster during my replay. 😩

[@yeahSkippy]

Oh my goodness. 😂 Yeah honestly I can see that. I just wish it was slightly slower indoors but oh well! Getting around the valley will definitely be easier with the fast running and the horse later on too. I know I took my horse everywhere once I had him in the original.

[@CaptiveCollector]

I’m excited for this rerelease but also a little concerned as I can already see the frame drops lol

[@yeahSkippy]

I think some of that is partially my recording for some bizarre reason. Check out their original video and jump around and see if you still notice it! I certainly hope we don't have that problem at release.

[@BeatleGirl37]

Like you said, I’m sure a lot of people are going to have a problem with the walk cycles and the space between holding stuff. I’m beyond thankful that they did that though. It really feels like they said “how can we improve and renew this game without ruining the nostalgia?” It seems like they took the entire game, put a new layer of paint on it, and added some great quality of life improvements, which is exactly what I personally was hoping for.

[@yeahSkippy]

You're spot on! And yes, some people will be upset. I find it humorous and after some thought I really enjoyed the nostalgia of the original which does reach people unknowingly half the time. It's going to be great and overall I think it looks beautiful.

[@babysunshine3958]

i played this game in my ps2 last night and i can’t explain how excited i am to get it on switch

I kinda like they keep how villagers walking around the village as per their own schedule just like the old game they didn't do this for FOMT

That's a good point. I find Mineral Town to be almost a bit vacant at some points lol.

[@LumaGooma]

Actually there were always people walking around after midnight. Certain people had interesting/ complex schedules! I will say it’s not as dark, everything is more blue tinted at night.

[@peblezQ]

I like that you can run faster but I think they should add a walking speed and like toggle a sprint so you don't zoom all the time xD

[@yeahSkippy]

Absolutely lol! That's how I felt. Maybe there is and the player was just throttling it constantly. 😂

i'm not gonna lie, the framerate is really disappointing. i hope there is some optimization done before release....

[@yeahSkippy]

I'd check out the full video and see if you still see it there - because some of that may be from my end of things in some spottier places. This is also on the switch, so I imagine optimization on PC and other consoles may end up being better. Fingers crossed it's butter smooth regardless. 🤞

Aw man, I was hoping for more than one body type, but I can't complain too much! Though seems like fps issues galore, like I suspected for the switch version.

[@yeahSkippy]

I really do think part of that _is_ my recording. But obviously on console it won't ever go above 60 fps 1080p on TV

[@Crysific]

the pacing looks good, my biggest negative point was the long animation time for almost everything, watering your crops took hours. I just hope you can sell the goat this time 😅

[@catandrobbyflores]

You could sell it in the female version of the game so i think they are bringing it back this time.

[@yeahSkippy]

I do agree they've updated the pacing for the field work! And I am positive we can sell the goat like other livestock, and you can breed the goat and sheep too! So there may be no reason to sell.

[@HolicChan]

I can’t breath 😭 I’m so excited except maybe for how fast we move inside LOL so strange

[@donney3389]

I 100% buy this it hasn't changed much from the original and what has been changed has just been things I can overlook like Cody and Muffys name change. all the other changes have been in my opinion good as far as the low spot in the river so you can cross there. and the holding animation doesn't bother me since I know it'll be a great game... could they have done more to fix it yes but I'm not going to gripe about it because I think this might be test gameplay and if not they can always patch in fixes to fix the holding animation and the cats walking that's what stood out.

[@yeahSkippy]

I do agree! I find it more humorous than annoying (with the cat and dog holding lol) And I love the low spot in the river! I don't know how long that would've taken me to figure out on my own lol. It's very much like the original besides the obvious changes, and I love it.

It just looks like the original but with better graphics, which I understand is the main purpose, but I hope to see more dialogue and additional features/activities added that weren't in the original

@@yeahSkippy I suppose. It’s just…odd to me how well the original game has aged with its aesthetics (so long as you didn’t look too close at the polygons, anyway. It is early 2000s technology, afterall) but…I kept hoping they’d fix the Spring Season to be less garish and kinda flat looking but…in all the clips I’ve seen since my friend first got my attention about it months ago… not so much. Not at all, really. It’s like the model of the cat and its walk cycle being so…awkward. While the original game packed on so much personality into that cat with it stalking in its environment to warming up to the player and flopping (and even finding sunbeams.) Like, the inside of the house and barn looks amazing. Autumn looks awesome. But Spring looks Half Finished, and Romana’s Mansion looks more…outdated than grand. The ground could actually support more textures now but…it reminds me again of a half-finished 3D model (like how VeggieTales looked like crap after BigIdea was sold off compared to the earliest 90s episodes they produced with much more limited technology.) Just…I shouldn’t feel like Trio of Towns or Tale of Two Towns on my 3DS look better than a switch game having a lot of promo content released. I wish they spent less time updating the character models (some of which didn’t need it aside from making new models for a new system) and a bit more polish on the environments
