Whelp, Laura it is. Easiest choice in years.
Rune Factory 5 is looking pretty alright.I just want a new full fledged "console level" harvest moon.
Build off of AWL or ToT/AP.
This legit looks like only a slight upgrade to the 3ds games. Its sad. I was hoping the return of the franchise to consoles might result in something more "real" feeling.
I don't even need crazy graphics. Rune Factory Frontier level is all I ask

Publishers XSEED Games and Marvelous Europe have detailed the retail editions of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town for North America and Europe.www.gematsu.com
Nice edition ! Too bad we still don't get the cute plushie in Europe though :)
49€ is a nice price, probably will be easy to find at like 35 or 40€ at launch in some stores. (Got the FoMT remake at 30€ day one !)
Not in the European collector, at least not according to Gematsu's article ^^

US gets this one :
Europe gets this one :
Those who pre-order this Deluxe Edition, or the Standard Edition, within Europe will also receive a Buffalo plush toy as a pre-order bonus. This Buffalo plush will be offered to those who pre-order before launch at selected retailers, and will only be available while supplies last.

It's not in the image, but here's a direct quote from the PR e-mail:
Didn't know, thanks, that's a neat bonus ! I guess in France, Fnac will be one of the selected store, hopefully.
It looks pretty good to me, esp compared to the shitty games now parading around as Harvest Moon

lol. The whole Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons thing just feels to me like Natume saying "Anything you can do, I can do better!"this is what the upcoming harvest moon looks like
it's not pretty by any means, but the gulf isn't quite as large as it once was
Natsume will probably never add equal marriage though.this is what the upcoming harvest moon looks like

Awesome, thanks !FNAC's on Marvelous Europe's list, yeah.

Welcome to Olive Town, it's your job to carry on your grandfathers' legacy now! Plant crops, raise animals, build relationships, and get to know the residents of your new home.marvelousgames.com
Might have to import the EU edition instead of getting the US edition. I really want the notebook and trading cards...
Is there any EU retailer that ships to the US directly and that wouldn't cost a large increase in costs?
Amazon uk isn't too bad. It's hit and miss whether or not they will ship to the states though.

Has a list of retailers that will carry the bonus plush. Not sure if any of them have listed the deluxe edition yet though.
"Harvest Moon games sure are ugly can't they do better!" has been a thing people have been saying for decades now. I feel like A Wonderful Life is one of the few that people didn't say that about... And I found Magical Melody much better looking.

To be clear, the image I posted was from Harvest Moon:Light of Hope (made by Natume who essentially stole the series name as far as I'm concerned) and not the new Story of Seasons (made by the previous Harvest Moon devs). I was trying to say that new Harvest Moons look like shit and new Story of Seasons look totally fineAw, I'm not really a fan of the veggie models. Ah well, super excited for the new one. Magical Melody and a New Beginning are two of my favorites bc of the customization of placement and clearing you had to do, this seems in the same vein.
It's true. Bokumono has never been pushing any console to its limits before. I guess this time it's just more egregious because Rune Factory 5 is right next to it.
A Wonderful Like is unique, but it's super empty. Like it's the game a lot of people want to see remade next and it's also the one that would need the most work."Harvest Moon games sure are ugly can't they do better!" has been a thing people have been saying for decades now.

Every console game sense has had more of a "cartoony", so they must've not liked it for the series.
It feels like they spent the time since ToT looking at what certain other series did and then they added a bunch of other ideas on top of it.Usually any time these come out I feel like it's steps forward and back but so far everything I've seen about this has been good....almost too good.
If we got AWL or HMDS remakes I wonder what they would do with the bachelor designs because they were clearly not planned to be marriageable.AWL needing so much work is part of why I want it remade, much like how I want 64 remade so that the bachelors are marriagable and some of the cut content may be added back. But yeah, it's SUPER empty feeling. I tried to go back to it recently but it's just...

I was talking with other SoS fans and one suggested combining AWL and HMDS into one new game, which would be cool.
the way harvest moon ds cute pioneered the gals being pals feature because they recognized that the male options were so bad....

Yes, your taste is excellent. This would have been an even better remake for me than FoMT, I think of MM as sort of a fan service game since it combined two of the greatest ever BokuMono casts of characters.Personally I'd love a remake + buffing up of Magical Melody. Still my favorite after BTN.
Natsume only hurt the franchise with a lot of their decisions.and then Natsume gut it from the localized versions and told Marvelous not to do it again because they're just bastards like that I guess. Glad they've seen the light now.
Honestly I still think MM was as close as Harvest Moon/SoS ever got to perfection, and it never quite ever rose back to that height. Glad I'm not alone :DYes, your taste is excellent.

... and I could finally be gay with hot doctor Alex, which is totally just a bonus.
im in. Stardew is one of my favs, so interested in something near the same ballpark
