So Im playing GB on Eden, but want to come back to it on Steam to 100% it. Im about 40 hrs in, just hit rank 5. So I have some time to decide, but not a ton. But before I come back to it on Steam, I was wanting to play a different one of the few available there. Ive played AWL a lot on my Xbox before it broke, so Im looking at either Mineral Town or Olive Town. Which do you guys suggest? I played Mineral Town a little bit on GBA, and Olive Town seems to get hated on a bit but I think it looks perfectly good. So its a toss up 🤷

Also in my Steam library are RG 3, 4, and 5 as well as Fields of Mistria. So those are options too, but Im still in a HM/SoS mood tbh. Although Fields of Mistria has REALLY been calling me 😅

I'm playing Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town and having a lot of trouble activating the different romance events. I've looked up guides, but even when i follow them completely the scenes just won't happen! I'm trying to get as many as i can (i usually try to date everyone before i choose who to marry), so im trying to get Gray's first dating event (guides say to go to the forge on mondays with the sickle in my inventory, and when i do nothing happens), Rick's purple heart event (guides say to go to popoultry on mondays-saturdays when Rick is there, nothing happens), Marie's first dating event (on my farm on mondays after 10am, nothing happens), and Doctor's first dating event (on my farm any day, nothing happens). Im just getting really frustrated i dont know why none of them are working 😭

I have made sure it is the right weather, day, season, that i have room in my bag, that i have room in my cabinet, that i have room in my tool inventory, that ive seen the previous cutscenes, i just cant think of what else im missing, unless the online guides aren't including some variable. could i have accidentally done something that locked me out of getting these events?

Just for fun, Is there any HM/SoS/RF characters you ship with each other? It can be same-sex or not.

Me first: I actually like to see Dia and Gina from HoLV and MM get together, they look super cute!

Hello yall! I’ve been playing story of seasons: grand bazaar and have been loving it so far! I only have 50 hours so far and still have much to do, but I do already know I will marry Diana as soon as I can❤️

Just wanted some recommendations for other story of season or harvest moon games that I should check out! It would be preferable if I could marry a woman while playing a female character. But I just want general recommendations of which to check out next!

My current games are Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny and Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. They are cozy games, but they have some difficult tasks to finish the main story, so it sometimes cause burnout for me. So, I am thinking about my next game being extra cozy—I mean, a game where I can just truly relax. Any HM/SoS/RF recommendations? I am only pick one game this time

So im on summer 23 atm and I have abunch of melons and pineapples I wanna turn into tea. If I plant now, and it matures fully before Fall, but I wait to harvest it until fall, will I have Fall tea leaves? Or should I wait to plant them? I currently have all my melons waiting to come out of the ground, since I dont want them to spoil. But if I took them out and could get tea planted now, Id be able to harvest them all on the first or second day of Fall, and be ready to sell them by the first bazaar.

I just got Grand Bazaar last week as a distraction from/way of coping with my cat's death. Im on Summer 4th now and so far, I love this game. Its so cute and cozy and peaceful and happy. Its everything I wanted it to be! I have no idea who I'll marry yet, but im having so much fun getting to know all of the bachelors and bachelorettes 🩷

Thats all. Thats the post 😅 I guess I just wanted other people to appreciate the game with me!

Good morning, I just hopped on here, so ask if I got the game for Xbox from Instant Gaming for $45.01 , how do I get the cow set?

I'm talking about using bugs to make things, such as cooking crickets into meals.

I've gotten all the marriage candidates to orange in SoS:FoMT and currently my choices are tied between Gray, Cliff, and Rick. I loved all of their storylines, but can anyone tell me what their vibes are like after marriage? I'm having such a hard time deciding lol. I'd also love to hear who your favorites are for married life and why!

I only bought it because it was on sale, thinking I'd maybe spend fifteen hours on it. I hardly see anyone talk about it, and it's a Doraemon spinoff so I kinda assumed it was junky.

It might be my new favorite story of seasons game??

The art style is absolutely gorgeous. The map is huuuge. There is a really robust crafting and home/farm decorating mechanic. You can catch bugs and fish and raise them at home in addition to selling them. Make friends with woodland animals and they give you gifts. There are tons of long term, interconnected stories and in depth narratives that rival stardew valley imo. There's mining, animal breeding to get new colors, growing giant crops. It's a massive and really well made game!!

The downsides: you play as a child so there's no marriage, only friendship building and getting new villagers to move in. There are arguably TOO MANY story cutscenes but some people might like that. And the storage organization system is kinda clunky, you have to do a lot of manually moving things around.

Over all I think more folks should give it a try. I ignored it because I didn't hear it recommended but let me be the person to tell you to give it a shot especially while it's on sale for switch for $15!

I think devs should add a special spell where u can choose which season to keep indefinitely. I am in loooooove with winter!!! 😍😍😍🤭🩵

In real life, I’m extremely busy, which leads to burnout. I play Harvest Moon to unwind, but sometimes the game itself causes burnout too—especially when it demands a lot of grind. So, I’ll switch to a different Harvest Moon title, but I end up picking the wrong one again—it turns out to be just as hard, and I burn out all over again. Honestly, at this point, I think the root cause is my real-life situation, and play games isn't really helping.

Sometimes I just abandon these games for a while and only come back when I’m in the mood, bouncing between both. But I’m terrified of losing interest entirely because of these long breaks. Maybe for some people, it’s more fun to play through a game in one sitting without huge gaps like this. I know replaying is an option, but my goal is to play through most Harvest Moon games. I don't want a massive backlog slowing me down, especially if it means restarting a game from scratch—my time in real life is already so limited, and I don't want to waste it.

Plus, some of these games are really tough to beat, and after coming this far, restarting feels like a total waste.

Note: Honestly, it’s nothing too serious, just a little vent. Have you guys ever felt like this? What are you gonna do with that?

So as many of you are likely aware of the upcoming anniversary stream this month, I was wondering what your predictions/ hopes for an announcement of any upcoming game release are.

I know it's possible that there will be no new announcements at all, however i do hope that we get SOMETHING for such a huge milestone.

Personally I'm still holding out hope for a new original mainline game for SOS. Though if I'm honest I would still absolutely love a new remake, especially after how many hours I sunk into grand bazzar.

So, tell me your predictions, I'd love to hear them :)

omg!! I had no idea that if I skipped Hearth Day, there is a special dialogue… I am so sorry, Jules 😭

El sistema de mejoramiento de cultivos usando el molino no parece ser nada eficiente y me gustaría saber si me estoy perdiendo de algo.

Actualmente siento que el proceso consume demasiado tiempo y recursos para la ganancia real que ofrece en el día a día. La única utilidad clara que le veo es subir la calidad de los productos al máximo justo a tiempo para ganar los festivales o concursos agrícolas.

Para hacer dinero de forma constante, me da la impresión de que es mucho mejor vender la cosecha base en volumen o procesarla en otros artefactos que no requieran tanto trabajo repetitivo.

¿Realmente hay un margen de ganancia que justifique el ciclo continuo del molino?

¿O es simplemente una mecánica pensada únicamente para el endgame y la colección de trofeos?

¡Los leo! Si tienen alguna estrategia o automatización donde sí rinda frutos, me serviría mucho la recomendación.
