[@Reaching117]

I played the original, it was one of the most important games of my childhood. I personally liked the linear approach, it's not meant to be as sandboxy as a game like Stardew Valley but is more about your time in the valley. Characters come and go and grow old. You get to experience time passing in a way you don't in many, if any, games of this genre.

[@porhawj8579]

Not sure. I love story of season friend mineal and olive town. Why they change perspective on this game?

[@Reaching117]

@@porhawj8579 Honestly I never gott into most of the other Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons games. This one was very special for me because the art style is more rustic and less cutesy/chibi. They said in the video the remake looks less muddy but I kind of miss that look lol. It still looks good though.

[@amyford2971]

@@lotheravanti4295I just ignored it and went female.

[@AutumnSteven]

There’s a tendency to expect all games within a genre to follow a certain roadmap but even back when I played this on Gamecube I just considered that this wasn’t trying to be a farming focused game. It puts more emphasis on the relationship and on seeing your family and the people of the community grow and change over time. Of course that’s not for everyone, but I personally enjoy this game and appreciate it for its unique angle that sets it apart from the pile.

[@SwitchUpYt]

That's a really good point! Thanks. Mark

[@LowCountryMatt]

Yeah, compared to the other games farming can be taken care of easily within the first two hours of the day, where more intense farming can take all day in other games.

[@VanillaUchiha56]

My childhood bestfriend and i use to play the old version NON-STOP. Spent hours on the phone talking about eachothers farms and what animals we have. So you best believe when i saw they were remaking it i sent her the link right away. Weve been playing it nonstop and texting about it for two days now. The nostalgia ❤. Loved this game then and love it now!

[@xelthos2051]

I really loved that it was a more linear story, its still great to have just a big open ended story, but it was a nice change of pace at the time to have a more directed focus. Itll still mostly grab on nostalgia, but the QoL really make it worth giving a play for people who love farming sim cozy life.

[@awkwardsilence4427]

Also, for those wondering, whereas in previous Story of Season/Harvest Moon games, this one is definitely more focused on telling the story of your family than in past ones, where eventually your child actually grows up into an adult and gets married him/herself, and you grown into an old person and (if I remember right) actually pass away of old age by the end of it.

[@angelganon8213]

You don't die anymore in this one they got rid of that and now you have an endless mode after a certain time

[@Kristen242008]

@@angelganon8213 You do still die. They added a "heaven" mode to the game though. You (and everyone else in town) is young again, but you still have your adult child there too.

[@EtherealMemory]

@@Kristen242008 I played the original as a kid but never made it that far into the game. As essentially a newcomer to this specific title, I chuckled at reading "heaven mode" at first but it sounds really sweet and a little sad too 🥺

[@zixise]

​@@EtherealMemoryI like how melancholy it sounds honestly. That's a really sweet idea.

[@jemmadavies3226]

I have HUGE nostalgia for this game, as I played it on the Gamecube. Can’t wait to replay it

[@woodneel]

"Forget-Me-Not" Valley: Name is based on a flower, exudes a sense of nostalgia and a bittersweet farewell. "Forgotten" Valley: Generic RPG town name, feels like where FF7's Sector 7 Slum residents would relocate to. Am sad about the name change. Am glad for a good discursive review from both Mark and Glen!

[@Emily-lh6em]

I'm excited that socializing and family is the focus of this game. There's no end to the list of farming games that offer experiences where you can completely ignore that so im glad this one is more about the passage of time and the life of a person than farming. I think the shorter seasons might be a fun spin to keep things fresh for me.

[@MJ_1979]

Loving the Q&A style review of this one, and thanks for giving us a look. I think the premise is very interesting, but I like being able to take my time and focus on growing my farm. Relationships usually take a back seat for me, at least for the first little bit of the game. I wonder if this game would make me feel rushed with the shorter months/years and forcing you to make friends and find someone to marry - but then again, that's what makes this one different, so I guess we should expect it. I do love your idea of letting us take our time for the first year, only continuing when we're ready. That would have been nice!

[@taipion64]

I love how society has gotten to the point where we have to describe Harvest Moon games in terms of Stardew Valley instead of the other way around.

[@zixise]

I don't :,(

[@Blacktanamo]

It’s disgusting. But when I explain games to my son I have to explain it this way. So I understand.

[@Superfreaky2]

It’s pretty sad because harvest moon was the first game of its type whereas stardew valley is almost a clone but with some added stuff. Why should the clone be the one people know and not the original game with original ideas?

[@taipion64]

@@Superfreaky2 Unfortunately it’s not about who came first but who has the current largest impact on the public. A whole new generation of kids have grown up since Harvest Moon games were last popular. And they don’t teach video game history in schools.

[@thedude130]

It’s funny because for over 5 years I’ve been describing SV as a more polished Harvest Moon 😂

[@courtneytatefigueroa1172]

There has been no other farm game out there both back twenty years ago AND today that truly focuses on family and your child! This game was my whole childhood and I will cherish the remake forever! If you don't love the marriage aspect of farm games immensely then yeah this game isnt for you.. this game is my favorite HM/SoS because of that focus though

[@NeonVistas]

This is my wife’s FAVORITE Story of Seasons / Harvest Moon game and possibly farming game of all time. I “think” she mostly views it from a nostalgia lens but NOTHING wrong with that and I think any game can bring joy to whomever but I will always appreciate both of you gents’ candid reviews so grats for sticking to your guns and happy gaming!!! 🎉

[@NeonVistas]

Should probably iterate that I HAD to purchase this alongside the plushy for her because it’s one of her favorite GC games. Now if only they ever decided to remake/remaster “Chulip” she’d probably die of overjoy 😅

[@courtneytatefigueroa1172]

Your wife and I are the same!! This was my all time favorite game when I was a child and still is my all time fave! I'm so happy they remade it

[@scorpio7957]

With this game, Everdream Valley, and Fae Farm all out, we would love an update opinion video from you two regarding best 'farming/sim/cosy games!

[@SwitchUpYt]

Yeah that's a really good idea! Mark

[@marikohayashi3845]

I;ve never played this one, so I was mega excited to try it out! I do have tempered expectations since its a 20 year old game, but i've played it for what...4-5 hours now and I'm still rather liking it! I'm really REALLY enjoying the relationship focused aspect. And I LOVE the fact we grow old!!!! I really hope future SoS games somehow find a good marriage between a linear/story line like this and their usual format. Again, for a 20 year old game, this was a breath of fresh air! Great review guys!

[@NiseiAkameBeloved]

Yk, I watched IGN's review of this game and the guy acted like farming sims were the worst. It was a hard watch. You guys were fair and honest and not nasty about the parts you didn't care for, so I really appreciate that! A Wonderful Life was the first farming sim I ever played in 2003-2004 and I've been hooked since.

[@powerplant.]

I never played any of these back in the day but I remember reading a lot of reviews about later entries on the old Gamesradar site, back when that website had quite a bit of character! Probably not one for me given I feel pretty set with farming sims, but very cool that this has such a different focus.

[@chrisbarker1046]

Loved it on the GameCube, seeing my wife again in the game trailer was weirdly emotional!

[@Laf631]

Loved this one back in the day! I'm so excited to revisit it.

[@seachel.dunk1]

I was so excited for this one! But I don’t like how short the season is. And I don’t think I’m gonna like being forced to marry that fast! So, I’ll wait for this one to go on a good sale before I try it.

[@awkwardsilence4427]

This one actually more or less tells the tale of your family. Your kid actually will grow up and marry him/herself by the end of it.

[@seachel.dunk1]

@@awkwardsilence4427 that’s the only draw for me.

[@Mito383]

Trust me, when you actually play this game you’re going to be extremely thankful the seasons aren’t a full 30 days. It’s a very slow burn style game and the seasons never feel short at all.

[@daniellebackus819]

This looks familiar enough that I’m pretty sure it had it as a kid. It definitely brings back happy feelings, but given I’m not 100% sure I played it, it didn’t impact me as much as Pikmin or Windwaker, but I’m 90% sure I had this and have been pining after it for a while. Loved Stardew Valley and My Time at Portia (until the load times for that game killed it for me).

[@Anni_ka]

I'm really glad more old Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games get a remaster. I'm secretly hoping to see Animal Parade on current consoles again, but in the meantime...I don't think I'll get this 😅 I prefer my farming sims to be as open as they often are (and the bachelors don't really appeal to me lol), although I have to applaud SoS for doing something so original back in the day. Now if they only had the confidence to be original again these days and, oh the irony, not be like Stardew Valley, that would be great 😅

[@GundamDragonLord]

IN THE OLDER HARVEST MOON: A WONDERFUL LIFE. You still had to marry someone within the first year. It's not like this is anything new. Also the days are the same. 10 days in a season. 4 seasons in a year. Chapter 1 has 1 year. 60 seconds = 1 hour. I feel like cry babies are complaining because they're so used to Stardew Valley. When it was games like Story of Seasons that basically gave Stardew Valley inspiration.

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

This game is clearly not for me. Ever since I found out this game had a life mechanic which serves as a time limit of some kind, I was put off from trying it, as I prefer to take my time and play casually in these types of games. This is why I found clones like Stardew Valley to be more satisfying to play over the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series, along with the whole hand holding present in modern titles.

[@awkwardsilence4427]

Yeah, this one has a bigger focus on your family, with your kid actually growing up and getting married as well by the end of it. So it’s a bit different from the usual farming sims.

[@awkwardsilence4427]

I might pick this up. I played for an in-game year or two back when it released, and while I enjoyed talking to all the townsfolk and all, I remember never actually getting a hang of the economy in this game and spent those years pretty broke. And I don’t remember what it was exactly that I was having issues with, only that I didn’t have any problem with the previous Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons games I played.

[@Mito383]

“Is it built on Stardew Valley?” You don’t know how much that comment triggered me.

[@tashabourgeois7321]

I have my copy coming inthis week, and as someone who played ALL the prior Wonderful Life games ( truly what started me falling in love with cozy and wholesome games, lol) I think I'm gonna pair up with Gordy, since I always liked how he is a true artist...maybe he shall be my muse! Other than that, the part that got me super hyped and guaranteed to pre-order my copy is the return of Tartan, and his hy rid-creating zany-ness! Can't wait to see how many combinations there are in this remake...I wonder how many will be new versus old? 😮

[@superkoopamocha]

Finally, a farm sim I can actually FINISH

[@RafiRaffee]

Thank you for mentioning about the forced marriage part! Now I know this game is not for me. I always prefer the grind to the romance aspects with games like these, hence why my favourite is Doraemon Friends of The Great Kingdom! (although many people seem to dislike it ahaha)

[@Blacktanamo]

It’s the way the game was made. Not a new farming game. A remake of a classic. The linearity worked back then.

[@coltdeedede]

Have a massive nostalgia bias for this title due to Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, but something that upsets me with Story of Seasons is their consistent missteps with the artistic style/direction. Looking at the sprites and almost chibi designs from the 2004 title this one 20 years later somehow manages to make the art direction worse (in my opinion). I don't know how it got to this point, but it really shows in Gustafa's design, there was something charming and sweet about the original and when they try to over stylize it the vision comes out muddled.

[@Morgaine76]

I heard that they took out all the responsibility of caring for your animals. For example, during the evenings, you had to take time out to bring your animals inside the barn, or they would be outside all night, be in a bad mood, or even get sick. Now, (so I hear) the game moves your animals into the barn on its own. The responsibility is gone. I don't like that. Don't know if I'll be picking it up.

[@deborahsteele4349]

Great review. I am new to story of seasons and love life sim games. Can’t work out if it’s worth the higher price. I will consider for a couple more days before spending my birthday money.

[@bomccullar2684]

You HAVE to get married to continue in the game!? 🙈 ... and how many marriages must I destroy to complete the game? Do I have to be married to complete the game? 😅 Great review guys you definitely raised my eyebrows to this one!

[@awkwardsilence4427]

Yeah, this game actually has a much larger focus on your family. As in, your kid will actually grow up and get married as well by the end of it…hence why it forces you to get married so early on.

[@Tuinuiski]

Playing as a hermit is a great approach to playing farm sims 🤓 Wonderful review!

[@maggiered7284]

Thank you. I for one am looking for something different. I feel like I am getting tired of farming games. I am looking forward to sonic superstars, Mario RPG, Mario wonder & pikmin 4

[@JMMinorSituation]

What farming type games would you recommend that allow a little more freedom? Aside from stardew lol

Thanks for the review! Hermit style game play is my jam so I’m going to stick with Everdream Valley. Bought it after watching your review, best farming sim I’ve played in a while!

[@smasher2265]

for someone whos thinking on getting it, the linearity is also good, this game represents a life, and thats how life is, you cant decide when to do this or that or marry when you're ready (you never will be), so thinking on this perspective the game feels really good, also there are some events happening over the years and people gets old, so its a very kind and melancholic experience, i was debating which story of seasons to get and this was just the right decision (now i wanna get the others haha)

[@xxdreadsaintxx]

Girlfriend and I are extremely disappointed with this game. It's a remake, not a remake + fun new features. There is so little to do in the game that you're better off buying the other most recent one.

[@borisdg]

The game is completely new and it's not based of any of previous version code/engine. It's made by Bullets Co. Ltd and it's using same engine from Friends of Mineral Town (same dev). It's a remake and not remaster or port from prior game in any way.

[@MrHdog111]

[@kigerneko]

Nothing about hybrid crops and the different kinds of animals? The part beyond the mountains? The review looks very incomplete.

[@lavayuki]

I usually love SoS and HM but the thing with this game is… I hate all the bachelors. While previous games had some good looking ones like Raegar and Kamil, and some other decent ones I liked like doctor and Yuzuke, in this they all look kinda ugly. The girls are cute but the boys are all a nope. The marriage is my favourite part so the bachelors are a disappointment.

[@pianoartist8830]

I really wanna get this game but $50 seems too steep. I hope it goes on sale soon.

[@baratacom]

There is one good aspect that comes from the linearity: each event in your character's life is more important and impactful, such as your child growing up and developing accordingly to how you raise them, so if you show them farming a lot they'll like that, or ranching, or if you bring them to hang with the artist, archeologist, etc

[@chaosdestructionlove]

This is one aspect that made this game much more interesting post marriage for me. For a lot of life sims, marriage is an end goal that maybe adds a couple events and an eventual child +events, for some you literally just get a bunch of npcs you cant fully interact with, but awl allows for you to fully emotionally invest in your little digital family and community. (also tbh its just funny and cute seeing a toddler run around town on their own)

Alright! It's SwitchUp time! 😋 This is a cute looking game. Might add this to my wishlist. 🤔

I am genuinely so lost. you literally point out this is a remake of the a 20 year old game in the description. this was a game you could rent from fucking blockbuster. you clearly KNOW this. so how in the literal hell is it "built" on stardew???? a what, 5 year old game? literally what was the goal here? you are clearly not that stupid or it wouldn't be in the description. please explain. I'm both fascinated and infuriated. story of seasons deserves better than to forever be in the shadow of the game IT inspired, and which isn't even as good as half its roster.

Just not my style of game but nice review as is the norm.
