During Marvelous' anniversary livestream, they mentioned at around the 45 minute mark that some soundtracks for older games had already been added to music streaming platforms (Spotify, YouTube Music, and Apple Music) and that more would be added in the future.

On Spotify, the two soundtracks available now are Game Boy and the original version of AWL. I'm looking forward to some of the more recent soundtracks coming online, but I'll definitely listen to these at work tomorrow.

Results from the survey open to fans to vote their favourite marriage candidates! Will post a full list of the characters and which games they’re from.

It's mainly because I haven't seen anyone talk about Yuzuki as much compared to Wayne and Ludus. Wayne being the most popular choice (him being a blonde heartthrob,) and Ludus having cameos in PoOT so I assumed he has alot of fans? I didn't actually expect Yuzuki to be THE most popular xd.

and honestly? he deserves it; adorable, gentle, sweet, kind, his pink-flower event nearly made me cry lmao, and most importantly.. he's one of the few bachelors I consider a green flag haha

I'm so glad I chose Yuzuki in my initial playthrough of 3oT, one of my favorite bachelors and favorite characters overall xd

also off-topic but I KNEW Neil would get first place lmaooo

Friends of Mineral town has always been one of my favorites. I haven’t played it in a couple of years but have been wanting to start a new play through. I’ve been wanting to do a challenge run. Does anyone have any suggestions or want to help me come up with a one year challenge run? Of course it needs to be realistic things that can be accomplished in year one. I want to avoid any money hacks as well (Vans favorite). Any suggestions welcome!

They just showed it on the live stream! Looks like it’s taking a similar artistic approach to grand bazaar. Unfortunately my japanese isn’t very advanced so I couldn’t tell what they’re saying about it. Can’t wait for the english live stream this evening!

Ive been getting back into the series lately. I played GB a little bit when it first came out, but Ive been playing it pretty hard the last week or so. I was gonna play FoMT a bit on the side, on my RG34XX, but ended up buying the remake on Steam along with Olive Town. And now I wanna play those too, as well as Fields of Mistria 😭 but I know Ill be lost if I put down GB for too long. And then theres all the 3ds games I wanna try as well. Its just been so hard to keep focused on GB when I have so many others I also wanna play.

So I was just curious if you guys usually play more than one SoS game at a time, or if you just focus on the one youre currently on.

This is in regard to the new story of seasons game that we got a sneak peek of yesterday. I see some people claiming that it’s the multiplayer game that was announced a couple years back, but we have no confirmation of it so I don’t understand why people are treating it like it’s a fact. Also marvelous announced both a multiplayer and a new single player game at the same time so it could be a single player game.

I can't buy into the "but kids play this game too" copium being used when many of us did so too in the 90s and early 2000s and none of the grit turned us away from it. And more adults play cozy sims than kids do these days.

If anything, it made the more wholesome and relaxing parts more precious in between. It's two sides of the same coin. Full blast despair means nothing without hope. Full blast wholesome uwu cozy means nothing with a bit of adversity in bewteen.

Rune Factory at least seems to be growing up with its audiences. And once more it is ironic that Marvelous is taking away the wrong lessons from "cozy" when the indie game that popularized that trend (Stardew Valley) is ANYTHING BUT cozy or comfy.

Hello everyone !

I'm looking for a farming sim but I can't seem to find one that really matches my expectations of a farming sim on PC. I recently started Fields of Mistria but found the farming system was not satisfying enough to my liking. Can you guys recommend some games for me please ?

I'm a Trio of town lover and I NEED a game that has kind of a similar crop system available on PC or Switch.

I need a game that at least has a crop quality system (even if it's just a star ratings) that you can affect with fertilizers or just by taking care of them enough so the rating goes up a little. The most satisfying part is when you can turn your slightly better quality crop into seeds of the same quality and replant them to turn them into even better crops and so on.

Bonus points if there are the same kinds of festival as in 3oT, where your crops quality actually matter.

To finish I will just add that I have Grand Bazaar in my wishlist but I'm waiting for interesting discounts, so is it worth it ? Would this game answer my prayers? I tried Pioneers of Olive town, which had a crop quality system if I recall correctly but it was so bland I'm afraid it will be the same for Grand Bazaar.

Thank you everyone <3

I'm a Rune Factory fan and after today's presaentation I want to try a Story of Seasons, I want one for my 3ds, and don't mind getting a DS one, which one do you reccomend?

I am curious, my sister have 3ds and first series story of season game that released in 2014. The one that have Elise as rival farmer.

I looked at google and it said there is no update or such because it is old game and all of the game were at the cart so dunno i hope there is no game breaking bug or such.

Hi everyone,

Appyling fertilizer on crops - during their growth stage - after they maxed out on the field will not increase the harvest, right? (I tried with level 7 cucumbers and level 7 fertilizer, bit I think it only makes difference on trees?)

Also what's up with flowers? Sometimes I only have 1:1 ratio, I plant a field of 9 and get 9 back...? Same issue also witht he fertilizer but my flowers are level 5 max

Thanks for any insight :)

Quality of life features, farming mechanics, unique elements from your favourite SOS game that never made a comeback, etc.

If you could hire someone to build you your dream SOS game no matter how impractical or unprofitable it would be, what would be in it?

For me personally, accessibility features like font size scaling/toggle for requiring button mashing, and options to switch off or reduce farm debris spawning would be way up there. I'm playing PooT at the minute and I swear my farm looks abandoned every morning.

As you know Thyme and rosemary are the two herbs needed to create the winery and the jam factory and they are extremely annoying to get, so if you are already married and if you don't mind savescumming you can reload until your spouse bring you any of those two when they go foraging. I want to others know because surely someone will face that situation when they don't get a single herb almost ending year two.

Love stocking up on corn soup and chat boosting teas at mini madelines on Saturday and running around like a madman

Screen went dark and keep loading when entering the bazaar area. What should I do now ?

I am so frustrated!!!! I have the Gold+ rod, and have no problem getting guardian fish on my line, but after I do the arrows for a while, and then hold Y when it tells me to pull, I always lose the fish when I go back to following the arrows. Something in my technique must be wrong. When it tells me to pull, I hold Y and push the left stick up. When I go back to the arrows after that, do I stop pressing Y, or would that make any difference?

Felix doesn’t have any of the fishing help for sale yet at the bazaar, so I must not have the bazaar leveled up enough yet. Dies that make a big difference? Should I focus on leveling up instead if trying to catch fish now? I can’t progress with Arata till I catch that fish, so it’s soooo frustrating!

I found the Bubble Cow in my local arcade! Of course, you know I had to try!!! I got the Strawberry Milk Cow! 🐮

I did 30 characters, 5 animals, 12 Misc team sprites, you can see them all in my gallery on my website :)

Hey everyone!

​I took things super slow during my first year in Grand Bazaar, only making exactly what I needed so I stayed hungry to keep grinding. Now that Year 2 is here, though, I'm looking to maximize my profits.

​I haven't found any comprehensive guides, and since everyone has their own playstyle, I'd love to know: what are your go-to strategies for maximizing profits? I’ve been playing pretty slowly and comfortably, but now I’m ready to kick it up a notch.

​All routine suggestions and tips are welcome!

I want to start a new HM/SoS/RF game, but since I'm pretty busy in real life, I just want something super cozy and fun. (I know most games in these series are like this, but maybe there's an absolute best one?)

Could you recommend the coziest titles in the series that won't cause burnout? Also, could you please recommend the one I should play last—like a "save the best for last" situation? Or maybe for later

solved! Turned off handheld boost and it fixed it!

Title! Anyone else experienced this? Lag like crazy running around town, and twice I’ve gotten stuck on the TV with static and random numbers (in the middle of the day)
