[@HubertMM]

I think I saw something after SoS: AWL came out about them taking a poll on which game to remaster so I hope they actually do it.

[@katiethefandomgirl4412]

One thing about Animal Parade that I like was it builds on the rival marriages where eventually the couples have their own kids as well. However, because Animal Parade from what I remember is the last HM game to include rival marriages, this is the only game where new children can be introduced as a result of rival marriages

[@JackDuckGoose]

I'm definitely excited to get into the Rival Marriages. I didn't get any bachelorettes or bachelors up to 4+ hearts as to avoid any of those cutscenes before I did the marriage vote. It's sad that I know Marvelous will never bring them back because the Japanese audience despises them

[@krystaldragon17]

@@JackDuckGoose The japanese audience hated rival marriages?!

[@JackDuckGoose]

@@krystaldragon17 Yes. My understanding of the situation is that, if there is a rival marriage mechanic, the Japanese audience believed that those two characters, lets take Chase and Maya as example, were a fated pair. They thought it was awful that the player could come in and essentially steal someone else's destined happiness, so Marvelous got rid of them as a concept

[@honeymatcha379]

@@JackDuckGoose I think the solution that RF2 does for this is a good concept, where the partner of the bachelorette you choose ends up marrying someone else (unless you don't marry mana)...they should expand it more and give everyone an alternative option with their own story

[@JackDuckGoose]

That would be nice! I just don't think they have the cajones to implement it lol

[@canariawing]

when this game inevitably gets a remake i just really hope they leave the character designs as they are and bring back the original artist, the art style and character designs in this game are genuinely the best in the series in my eyes. also praying that they don't oversaturate the colors of the environment like they did with a wonderful life, the more muted and realistic colors are part of the vibe imo

[@TableClothPersona]

Same!! I love the main artist for the series (Igusa Matsuyama) but the artist for ToT and AP (Mika Nunokawa i believe?) captured the perfect style for the wii.. It looked so good! I hope in general they experiment for the art style in future entries tbh

[@JackDuckGoose]

Fingers crossed they keep it faithful. I have low confidence in that, but it's nice to dream lmao

[@erikaannette7397]

I don't think this game needs a remake honestly.

[@JackDuckGoose]

I can see that. I personally would love to see one just for modern convenience and quality of life improvements. The hours that I've spent waiting in loading screens, picking crops on at a time, and traversing the massive map of Animal Parade are definitely a pain point for me. This video would have been out two weeks earlier if it weren't for all that extra time lol

[@erikaannette7397]

@JackDuckGoose I totally get that. I guess for me, that's a big part of the charm. The days in Animal Parade are so long, so I don't really think that speeding up those processes is a make or break in the game for me. But yeah, it does get a little drawn out, that's not a lie.

[@EvelynWn]

When I played as a kid I fell in love with the Wizard. To this day he's my favorite marriage candidate in any of these life Sims ever.

This is one of my top 5 for next remaster! (Tales of Two Towns is my number one, I love that one so much) I also didn't play this back when it came out (because I didn't have a Wii) but I played it in a ~totally legal way~ later and I fell in love with it!

YESSSSSSS!!!! I've been replaying this game like mad lately (I just made a 15-hour cross country move, been between jobs so I've had a lot of time) and it is just as good if not better than I remember. This game used to consume my summers back when I was in school (along with AWL). Witch Princess best girl btw and it's not even close

That's exactly how I feel about AWL, so maybe I'm just old lol. Witch Princess seems to be a very popular pick lol

[@purelysmetalnightcore]

Yay! I love watching your videos while grinding in HM Light of Hope. I went from being a defender of it to being extremely frustrated by how much RNG is in it as I try to complete the encyclopedia. Plus most of the fish dishes specifically require rainbow trout or arapaima, which aren't available year round and there's just too many other fish you can catch instead of them....

[@JackDuckGoose]

Season specific items, fish, etc. are always such a double-edged sword. While I like the idea of scarcity, sometimes it's implemented in a way for the sake of scarcity, which isn't that great lol

Oo man I have to keep pausing and coming back to this video because I didn't realize how emotional this would make me Animal Parade is my favorite game in the series, I've played it all the way through dozens of times and watching someone else play is an experience I've never had before. It's difficult! I keep wanting you to do things my way, LOL. But it's fun, too! I get to see a completely different playstyle and experience the game for the first time again. I am so happy for this video. Thank you.

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for commenting! I'm curious, what would you do differently? Like you, I've never watched someone play AP, so I don't know if there is a "Right" way to play it lol

[@Korikocrossing2250]

This is by far my favorite game of the series!😊 It has so many fun parts to it. I love that it has a story/quest line and a decent amount of areas. I like having different mounts to use and the circus animals for teleporting. The mines are fun also. It's nice having multiple houses to use in the different areas. I love how many wild animals you can befriend and make into pets and how they get crowns if they win contests (really enjoyed having a snake wearing a crown). The pets can follow you and gather items for you. It's great that you can have multiple kids and assign your spouse a job out and about or help with a farm task and your kids help farm too.😌 So many parts to enjoy!💕

[@JackDuckGoose]

Yeah, AP is definitely one of the more feature rich entries into HM. Much like everyone else in the comment section, I'm crossing my fingers for a remake soon lol

[@beefxcake2523]

wonderful on PS2 was my first HM but i think animal parade was my favorite. it felt like a culmination of all the good i loved about HM games. some character customization, tons of townfolks, the rival marriages, tons of crops and animals. two kids! just a ton to work on and spend time on without it feeling too repetetive. i literally only have my wii these days to play this game every couple years lol

I definitely think that Animal Parade is one of the most content rich HM games out there. Compared to AWL and MM, I personally feel that AP does most things better. Hopefully they remake MM and AP so that I can judge all the remakes lol

[@pdmackezyk]

Ahh your videos are so comforting to me bc I love the Harvest moon series (specifically MM, AWL, and AP ironically). I appreciate your videos so much! Also, as someone who recently has been playing through Animal Parade again, a single day can sometimes take like 2 hours, so nice job making this so succinct lol

I 100% get that. I definitely felt rushed in MM and AWL at points. AP just seems a bit disconnected, if that makes sense.

I'm in the same boat; I never had a Wii so I never got to play this gem, but I was obsessed with looking at Fogu and videos of the heart events back on old-school KZbin. I dreamed of the day where I could get it! Sadly, even until today, I haven't gotten to it, but I'm also very hopeful that it gets the remake treatment because I think it's the perfect time to do so. Especially because this game has rival marriages and kids right? Which I feel like is so rare! I'm currently working on getting every achievement in Olive Town and whew... That game sure is a grind. Not the worse game by any means but definitely not at the top, so I'm dying to see a return to form with rival marriages, kids, and a plethora of things to do! Thanks again for all your hard work. I gush excessively but your vids really are a joy to watch.

There's lots of differences in the games, but I will say this one is more engaging with the story and character interactions I'd say? The rival events are nice aswell since EVERYONE gets a rival this time. Except for the new four, the Wizard, witch, goddess and harvest king. Time also goes very slow in this game so it was an odd change for me from Tree of Tranquility.

It always made me smile when I found him, usually in the water tower. And the music is nostalgic as I played this a lot a long time ago. My favorite puzzle is the one where you roll a duck egg off a roof. 😅

Right there with you, brother (or sister or however you prefer to be addressed). If the game just gave you a horse on Day 1, that would be perfect.

Of course Magical Melody was fun back in day to. I have quite a few favorite bachelors,and bachelorettes in this game. They are so full of personality. Last game to have rival marriages and it was nice seeing there marriage and kid's to. Sad this was the last game for it but I love it so much. One of my all time favorite Harvest Moons ever! Wish could get a Switch remaster of it but it's great as is for now. To answer your question if I had to choose out of both bachelor and bachelorettes. My favorite bachelor is well between Gill, and Toby, and Jin. Honestly can't choose and my favorite bachelorette is well like the bachelor it's hard to choose I love Anissa,Kathy,Candace,Renee. Favorite character in general hard to choose. I love the bachelor's and bachlorettes the most I listed so also my favorite character's. It's hard for me to list all aspects I like of them. I like to many of them. If you ever play the normal DS Harvest Moon games, Sunshine Island's is the best to me. Hope you play it one day to.

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! That's the first time I've seen shouts for Jin and Kathy as favored bachelors/bachelorretes! I don't have any immediate plans to play a DS HM yet, but you know how things go lol

[@rinovale4684]

@@JackDuckGoose Your welcome. First time for everything. Was just getting an idea if every play them. Think Sunshine Island's is the best out of the DS games. If ever get around to them.

Collin did the bare minimum for his job and it’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a while

[@JackDuckGoose]

he really is an unbothered king, and I have a begrudging respect for that

[@atakiri]

This game has one of the best rosters of bachelor and bachelorette designs I've seen in a HM/SoS game! If this gets a Switch remake, I hope the art style leans a little closer to the really cute illustrations than these models ;;;; The Wizard's design is the one I like the most (though the Harvest King is DANG, too)

[@JackDuckGoose]

imagine being able to date the harvest king and the wizard at the same time tho

[@homesteadhero]

I cannot tell how ELATED seeing this pop up in my subscription box just made me! Ya boi here is sick as a dog, so this kept me company as I coughed my lungs out. Welcome to the best cast of characters in all of Harvest Moon imo - they're legendary. My favorite tho? Ugh, that's hard. This was the first time I managed to marry a Harvest Goddess as a kid, and having little intimate moments like finding out her true name made it all the more special for me, so I'd have to go with my magical wife

[@JackDuckGoose]

#1. Hoping you're feeling better friend! #2. Thats awesome that HG has an actual name. I'm very curious what it is now lol

[@LucOfArcadia]

another fun fact about the word "fugue", it's ALSO a musical term, so it fits in with the rest of the world's musical themed naming scheme. it's a composition where several parts of a melody are each introduced in staggered intervals, and harmonize together. it's a VERY complicated structure for music, which is why it's also used as the name of a mazelike forest dungeon like fugue forest!

[@JackDuckGoose]

I was in the State orchestra in middle school. I was 2nd Chair, 2nd Part Violin. No big deal. Maybe they get into fugue composition later, or they just never taught us that word lol. Anyways, since then I've completely forgotten how to read music, but I still really love me some violin lol

[@LucOfArcadia]

@JackDuckGoose violin fugues possible but difficult (and rare; i think most composers just didnt have the taste for them), so I'm not surprised you didn't encounter them! I did piano in high school, and despite it being a much more polyphonic instrument, I struggled with them. they're just plain difficult without a good teacher.

[@JackDuckGoose]

@@LucOfArcadia Very interesting. I guess I was just too young to get into the complexities. I did stop around age 14 so that would make sense lol

[@Reina69]

I have never played animal parade because I didn’t have a Wii. Now that I have adult money I’m gonna buy one and animal parade

[@JackDuckGoose]

I'm 100%, undoubtedly, utilizing original hardware. Do you hear that, Nintendo?

[@tiarobbins8484]

Chase is for sure my favorite, ever since tree of tranquility! Watching this got me to break the wii-u from storage and play again!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Hopefully you're game still works and isn't scratched up lol

[@justteena93]

I hope Tree of Tranquillity is next! 😊

[@JackDuckGoose]

Isn't ToT kinda like AP, just an older game?

[@justteena93]

@@JackDuckGoose Eh kinda, it's a bit different

[@drd3athdeftying]

​@JackDuckGoose the characters are the same but the story is different!

[@JackDuckGoose]

@@justteena93 I'll have to dig a little bit deeper then

[@JackDuckGoose]

@@drd3athdeftying Interesting, might have to look into that lol

[@YesJustTia]

if only we can get another Remake Story of Season for this game. this game has better camera angel, so many potential on the story, cool feature 😭✨

[@JackDuckGoose]

I agree. A better camera would make this game much more playable lol

[@Roysanberry]

This was my first Harvest Moon game. I remember watching PeanutButterGamer's video on it way back in the day and feeling like I needed to buy it because he made it look so interesting.(His tea song from that video is etched into my mind) When I finally bought it I only played it for 3 hours at most and felt so overwhelmed by the game for some reason. As I work through watching your video I hope it'll encourage me to give it another shot since I've become a fan of the series.

[@JackDuckGoose]

I watched all of PBG's HM videos back in the day. His "marriage song" (for the lack of a better phrase) from that video is etched into my mind as well lol

[@LobsterTrash]

Ya know, I can't decide who's my favorite... Chase, Toby, or the ghost

[@JackDuckGoose]

Chase seems to be a popular pick lol

[@guardianaelita3301]

I also haven’t played this game, unfortunately. But a new vid from you always makes me happy~!

[@JackDuckGoose]

It's definitely a solid playthrough. Would recommend, especially if it gets remade lol

[@NosnihKnight]

Your videos make me want a new Harvest Moon to end all Harvest Moons. We deserve it dang it we have been nothing but respectful and patient lol

[@JackDuckGoose]

Hopefully they're new IP is what we all want/need/deserve

[@StarryKnightPinkle]

6:39 Why do you need to keep a potato? Edit: 1:12:15 Oh that’s why! :D

[@JackDuckGoose]

That was a slow burn huh lol

[@MuffinsInSummer]

Even though I mostly go for the bachelors (mostly), since I'm a girl. I really like them in this game. Selena and Witch Princess are the ones I typically like the most. Though the Harvest Goddess has the prettiest design in this game too but she's always really difficult to marry in all the games from what I know. As for bachelors, I really like all of them but especially Jin. (Always loved the Doctor Bachelors in the games looking at you POOT). He was so cute and awkward. The bachelors were such a refreshing take in general as they were older-looking so props for that on the devs's part.

[@JackDuckGoose]

I think the Harvest Goddess is pretty easy, comparatively, to marry in AP. In other HM games, there are a string of things you need to accomplish first, like shipping every crop, having all goddess tools, etc. but in AP, I'm pretty sure she's just another bacheloerette that you need to get to 10 hearts lol

[@mzywica]

Chase was my favorite. I can’t remember if he had the sad story though. The graves were a nice dark theme touch to this game

[@JackDuckGoose]

I haven't got into too much backstory just yet, but I'm excited to see what exists for the characters lol

[@sydneyflannery]

Ahhhhh! I love Coco ❤ the Harvest Moon cows are so precious!

[@JackDuckGoose]

I really like the Cow design in Animal Parade. It's the perfect blend of realistic cow from AWL, and cutesy cow from Magical Melody

[@finaltimeattack]

this is my go-to video when i can’t sleep, thanks for the upload! my favorite characters are the witch and wizard.

[@JackDuckGoose]

The witch and wizard really are the most loved characters and that makes me happy for them lol

[@UmbreonsRus]

Owen is my favorite bachelor for sure, I like my guys kind hearted and buff which you don’t find very often in Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games

[@JackDuckGoose]

so a fellow himbo enjoyer, huh?

[@GhostMemo]

Wow last time I was on this channel I think you were at 2k sub and I thought "wow that's amazing to get that many subs playing awl, maybe I should start my own channel", A channel dedicated to my second favorite series Harvest Moon hitting 18k in a year is a crazy accomplishment, congrats man.

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much! It's been a wild and crazy ride! If you ever make videos, let me know and I'd be totally down to check it out!

[@Dr.WalkerPhD]

I’ve been a subscriber for over a year now, just wanted to note that you have improved a lot with these videos! Keep up the great work!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much! I definitely think my editing skill have gotten better, but I'm always improving. I feel like my style changes and morphs every so often so its weird looking back on my older stuff lol

[@marljusweety]

Honestly, I tend to forget the animal parade part of the game. 😂 Its in the name, but feels like a side quest plot. Reviving the Harvest Goddess through replacing the bells is the main storyline.

[@JackDuckGoose]

True. The Circus/Parade is a means to an end for me. That end being fast travel lol

[@marljusweety]

@@JackDuckGoose 😅

[@dinkydaelf]

When you named Colleen, I thought you were PURPOSELY naming your coop animals after npcs bc Calvin is also a character in the game 😂. I ADORE this game and would absolutely love to see more from you! tbh, I think my fave character is actually Finn; the way he hangs in the hot springs with you is just so funny to me.

[@JackDuckGoose]

that would be out of pocket to name my animals after the NPCs lmao. Honestly, I guess I didn't think about the names of the animals outside of the fact they start with a C lol Finn and I do be chilling in those hot springs fr

[@DemonFoxToy]

This happened to pop up on my recommended feed and this hit me so hard in the nostalgia gut. I miss the old HM games, just such appealing cute games I remember pouring hours into. I might have to find a way to play them again now 😭

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks for watching! Just remember, this is only an over the counter strength dose of Nostalgia. You'll need a prescription strength dose for to alleviate your other symptoms.

[@jaguarninja394]

This game was a huge part of my childhood. I would play it for hours when I was sick. I swear I killed my wii playing this game as we eventually got rid of it. This is my standard for any farming game and Stardew Valley comes close to filling the void. Luke and the Wizard were my boys. I would love to replay this on the switch!

[@JackDuckGoose]

I love the 2D vibe of Stardew. It reminds me a lot of playing FoMT, but you cant beat a solid 3D farming simulator lol

[@e.o752]

AS someone who played this as a kid thanks! Such a nostalgia trip

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed your legally prescribed dose of nostaliga

[@kellimick6805]

I’d never really got hooked on this game like I did previous games but after watching this now I’m thinking about scouring eBay for this game and dragging out my Wii. I hope this gets a remake similar to wonderful life

[@JackDuckGoose]

Yeah, a remake would be the cats pajamas. A nice HD remake with QoL would make it brilliant

[@philippebartz8922]

I played Harvest Moon - Back no Nature as a Kid, and after playing over 8k Hours in Stardew valley, i made it my goal to play every single Harvest Moon and Story of Season game ever Made, i arrived at the Wii Era not too long ago :D

[@JackDuckGoose]

Nice! What's been your favorite so far?
