The Playstation 2 version does indeed suck and is far from the best game ever made or anything close to that. It is not a completely terrible game for that matter but when compared to the other games of the series it was rather lacking in most of the categories. You can all look on the bright side of things and know that they have already made in Japan a remake of Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life for the Playstation two. It's going to be an extended edition with the ability to continue the game after the scheduled period of story is done and another girl you can marry. Unfortunately right now there are no confirmed plans to bring the game to North America but there is always hope but that is not the end of the good Harvest Moon news folks. It has been confirmed by sources that a new Harvest Moon game is already in the works but of course being in the early stages no one really knows anything about it.

Ugh!!! Dammit, didn't know this topic was here. My favourite at this point has to be the GBA version of back to nature. The 64 version would probably follow as close second. Awesome game though.....mind you it gets real easy with the harvest sprites doing all the work for you hehe.

You didnt even know this topic existed until after I bumped the topic up? Obviously you dont spend enough time looking for topics that interest you enough to post in and you have a valid comment to add further back in the section. Thats where the key to getting good post numbers and continued posting rather than sitting back waiting for things to happen. If you cant think of a good topic to create then you can just revive an old topic that you are interested in.

Anyways back to the topic. So Lord Bishop Fang, you like the gameboy advance version the best? So I take it that if you had the playstation one version you would like that best because the GBA version is basically a dumbed down version of Back To Nature. Ok I wouldnt really say a dumb downed version but merely down graded so it could be put into a gameboy advance cartridge. I've played both the gba version and the playstation version and I must say Back To Nature is far better obviously.

You know thats odd on the Harmonian forum I was sure you were the one that was saying something about how post count doesnt matter at all? This is a forum about discussion and thus creating discussion is the most important thing of all and if you go and ressurect a new topic it's always good. If only for the fact that it might get other people to notice and to keep posting and getting us all discussing all sorts of things.

Oooh! I love the Harvest Moon series. I still haven't played the newest one for Gamecube, but I have Friends of Mineral town for the GBA and the one for playstation. How does the one for Gamecube stack up? It looks really good!

I'm yet to play the Gamecube version myself but apparently there are a few extras you get in "Friends of Mineral Town for GBA" once you connect the two. I really want to try that out and get the summer beach house. 8)

I'm a big Harvest Moon fan. Anyone who sees my file on Friends of Mineral Town (GBA) will find that out, really fast haha. I've played the GB original, SNES, N64, PS1, PS2, GBA, and Cube installments. I enjoy all of them, but notably the PS1 or GBA version the best. It has a lot of everything, putting emphasis on relationships but not making them so crucial (Save the Homeland) or so simplistic (A Wonderful Life).

I mean the GC one forces you to get married, to one of three choices. Yawn. I had her in marriage level by mid Summer, which is kind of sad. Also the Cube one takes away too much from farming. The animals are just a pain to look after, and growing crops is a generally futile effort until you get a ton of S class seeds. Ugh, so frustrating. Take the gameplay of the PS1/GBA version, give it the Cube's look, and that's what a true HM game should be if you ask me.

That's all I got for now. Not really in the mood to post, haha =P But yeah, big HM series fan here.

There is a Maria... she's the original librarian girl in the SNES version.

I started with the SNES HM which I though was pretty innovative, until I played 64. Godliest of godly games T^T I just love how things keep happening, even after you married. I love the fact that your wife did stuff for you (like Karen 'helped' with the gardening and such). In the PSX version, they don't.... it was the blandest one of them all. (Not just because your wife doesn't do your chores.)

I usually marry Elli or Karen. So cute *u* The jewelry-making was fun... Ann and Popuri are the most challenging for me. I still like leading the girls on XD

Hahaha, check this out Rocky. I made Karen go up to a RED heart, and all the other girls to BLUE before Summer. This is in addition to EVERY single upgrade, well aside from the items unavailable until later stages such as the expansions for the kitchen. I also upgraded ALL the tools to Mystrile and I tilled the ENTIRE field as well as planted it all and got 8 chickens, sheep and cows.....and made REALLY friendly with the Sprites....all before the beginning of AUTUMN on my first year.

The Harvest Sprites do WONDERS and my dog can run for more than half a bar to catch a Frisbee now hehe. I've also got all three of the makers (mayo, yarn and cheese). Now you tell me who LOVES this game. :mrgreen:

Oh I forgot to mention.......I also have the Gem of the Goddess as well as the French fry recipe.

Just for the heck of it here are some of my stats. Its currently 23rd Autumn on the first year.

436,245 G
4 Power berries + the blue one.
Dog with 9 Hearts
Horse with 10 Hearts
8 of each animal
49 Recipes
801 Chicken Feed
870 Cow Feed
999 Logs
Full Hearts on ALL the Sprites (and most hearts on most of the animals)

Stats for the seasons:

Spring +300,671G
Spring — 202,500G

Summer +347,184G
Summer — 284,760G

Autumn (thus far) +492,970G
Autumn (thus far) -217,820G

I've also got 10 of EVERY vegetable available up until now except for Cabbage, Pineapple and Sweet Potatoes of which I have 60 of each.

I consider this play through VERY good. Any further ideas, hints or tips?

I don't see how such monetary totals are possible, especially a net of 100k+ in the first Spring. Explain how you did it, please =) I sense Gameshark.. =P :mrgreen:

Edit: Okay, we talked, he used the Goddess Game Show (pretty sneaky) and gained a ton of money to start with. No wonder he did so well. Clever Lord Bishop, I will have to keep an eye on you XD
