Natsume's Upcoming Harvest Moon

>>387969619
natsume is still alive?

>>387969974
Unfortunately, yes.

>>387969619
Christ, it looks like a gorillion other mobile games. It's so bland.

>>387969619
They were thinking they could make a quick buck by abusing the goodwill of the established Harvest Moon name they still have the rights to.

Is SoS Trio of Towns pretty good?

>>387971284

Yes it is. I'd recommend it as a returning point for older Harvest Moon fans and a jumping on point for new fans as well.

>>387971284
Not only is it good, it's one of the best HM games in the series.

It's a little slow to start, but really picks up by the middle of the first month. If the town links system was a little better then the game would be almost perfect imo.

Too bad you fucks all pirated the games

This is your fate

>>387971879
This has nothing to do with pirated games you fool.

>>387969619
the frick? is this a port of a phone game? because it looks like it

>>387971912
Keep telling yourself that, poorfag

>>387971820
>I can romance a kitsune
PICKED UP

>>387971284
>>387971769

Forgot to mention it hasDLC, which is mainly just new character events and adding a new marriage candidate for each gender, but not sure when the english version comes out

>>387969619
What the fuck happen to their art direction

>>387969619
I don't understand how they could've made it look so terrible.

>>387971284
ToT is very good. It's the best 3DS/DS Harvest Moon game probably.

Why does this look like a freeware mobile game? Jesus christ Natsume.

The next sos better be on the switch

>>387971820
Can you romance the twins at the same time?

"Harvest Moon" isn't actually Harvest Moon anymore.
Harvest Moon is called Story of Seasons now, this is like a Macross/Robotech situation.

Keep in mind that He/She is a special candidate, and like most special candidates in these games they have a few drawbacks to marrying them.

They won't live with you and until the DLC releases they can't give you a child. keep that in mind before you touch the fluffy tail.

>>387972164
Already confirmed for Switch.

>>387969619
lol is that supposed to be wilderness? It looks like a sterile, squared plot of shit.

>>387969619
it looks and sounds like a shitty mobile game

>>387971820
definite upgrade from the first one? I'm playing it again at the moment.

>>387972132
>>387972058
The actual Harvest Moon developers no longer own the rights to the series, so that's why they switched to the name Story of Seasons. Anything titled "Harvest Moon" these days is literally shovelware from Natsume.

>>387971820
>tfw I'm stuck with fucking Stardew Valley on pc
I just want a comfy farming game with a cute artstyle.

>>387969619
Those faggots are just using the "Harvest Moon" title to sell shitty games.

The real harvest moon games are now called "story of seasons" and for the record story of seasons do have a nice quality and are fun to play, unlike this fucking bootleg.

It is just that the devs are retarded and lost the name of the franchise somehow.

>>387969619
reminds me of what they did too advance wars

>>387972286
Trio of Towns is an upgrade in most every way. Especially the actual performance of the game.

There's very little reason to play the first SoS unless you really like one of the candidates.

>>387972313
It's not that they don't have rights to the series. It's that they don''t have rights to the Western name.
The series is still all theirs.

>>387972313
The name was always Story of Seasons in nip
The localized name was just Harvest Moon afaik
They decided to go with another company for localization but Natsume still holds the "Harvest Moon" name

>>387971820

>>387971820
Ludus, Wayne and Ford look like they'd NTR the fuck out of your love interest

>>387972558
Except it's not actual HM. Read the thread.

>>387972431
I've had trouble picking in the first one, and looking at the list for the next it'll be even more tough.

>>387971820
Bottom left chick is a cutie.

>>387972656
I already know about all that shit. Doesn't mean this isn't what Harvest Moon is now.

>>387972550

Guy in a Dog Suit

apparently some kind of Spell put on him leaves him unable to take it off.

He is finally able to if the female MC pursues him as a marriage candidate, granted you never actually see what he looks like under the suit

I'm actually glad they went with Harvest Moon.

>>387971820
Fuck, I can't pick a girl purely on appearance in this.

>>387969619
This legitimately looks like an uglier stardew valley.

Going balls deep in Lissette.
Now if only it would stop snowing so the last event could trigger.

What do you guys think the gimmick for the SoS switch game will be?

>>387972940
Best I've found is minecraft modpacks heavy on farming and town stuff, but it's still not a great replacement.

LOOKS LIKE A FUCKING SHITTY FAN GAME HOLY SHIT

>>387973602
They didn't make those games. They only localized them.

The people behind HM are still around and make the same games they always have.
They just can't use the name Harvest Moon because Natsume owns that. That's the only thing about HM that they own.

Did they just hire some shitty artist to do all this?

>>387974074
>>BTW is rune factory unrelated to them?

Pretty much. The "fantasy Harvest Moon" label they gave the early ones were only marketing. The only tangible connection is a few people from the HM games went off to make their own series.

I wish they would quit with the gimmicks. At least just give us one normal game with one town with a shipping bin and nothing "fun and exciting" that gets old before the end of the first year.

>>387974074
RF and SoS are made by the generally the same people with the same director leading both teams.

>>387974353
>being in a thread you don't read before posting in
Yeah, why did you do that? Most posts agree old Harvest Moon was good and it's specifically the new ones that are bad.

>>387974416
>being so dumb you said that Natsume made Harvest moon and getting this pissy when someone corrects you
Then again you didn't read the thread because this was already explained.

That was me, you're talking to another anon right now senpai

>>387973746
Gratis also means free in English.

It's from the Latin word "gratis", meaning free.

>>387974728
For all I know I'm talking to myself.

>>387974690
Yeah, i was surprised that what they show to us is literally not prototype.
It absolutely looked awful, both gameplay-wise and art direction.

>>387974663
Neverland is no more, they went bankrupt quite a while ago.

mfw HM is shit now and we will never get a RF5, they will never make a RF5 where half the cast are monster boys and girls, there will never be waifu and husbano that centaurs, harpy, mermaids, slime girls, lamia and minotour.

>>387974850
yeah... it happens

>>387974934
A lot of Nerverland's people went to Marvelous so it's still possible, just every unlikely.

>>387975051
Yeah, i heard that but possibility for another Rune Factory is might be close to none.
At very least, Marvelous is making SotS.

>Story of Seasons in Nip
No. It's Bokumono aka Farm Story

>>387975952
People will buy it and there is nothing you can do about that, but just be happy that Natsume trying to sabotage Story of Seasons initial launch with their half assed Harvest Moon game failed and SoS still does well in the West.

>>387976146
Ford is too autistic to even talk to women.

>>387972940
Fantasy Life, nigga.

There is an SoS game coming to Switch thankfully so we don't have to deal with this shit.

>>387976331
Close, but it has no waifus.

>>387972743
No, no, he literally IS the dog suit. He was cursed.
He doesn't need to eat or sleep or anything.
Pursuing him eventually causes the curse to break.

>>387972176
You can up until a certain point, I guess, but that's the same as any other HM/SoS with raising the affection of multiple girls at once.
What you CAN do, however, is dress up as the opposite twin. Even if you're a male.

>>387972683
That ain't a chick.

They've appeared in far too many games as it is. It's good to have a rotating cast and location instead of doing the same thing every game.
But I wouldn't mind cameos. Like goddamn, even the Harvest Goddes has been replaced now. That's sad.

It's literally the same perspective as the original Harvest Moon.
It's the art-style that ruins it.
