HARVEST MOON
FAN THREAD

Since Harvest Moon is probably my favorite game series ever (started off with Back to Nature), I clearly need to make it a thread for much fangirling to commence. First off, check out this amazing tumblr dedicated to Harvest moon.

I currently own:

• Animal Parade
  
• Tree of Tranquility
  
• Tides of Destiny
  
• Another Wonderful Life
  
• Magical Melody
  
• DS:Cute
  
• More Friends of Mineral Town
  
• Island of Happiness
  
• Sunshine Islands
  
• Rune Factory
  
• GBC HM3
  
• Grand Bazaar
  

I may or may not have a bit of an addiction. Sadly, I never seem to get too far into the games. Best I've gotten is a husband ): My fave husband is Harvest God but I also love Owen and Kai always ;u;

So for some discussion questions:

• What was your first HM game?
  
• What HM games do you own?
  
• Who is your favorite bachelor and bachelorette?
  
• What is your favorite game of the series?

Harveeesst Mooooon!!

I remember, my first game for ps2 in fact was an HM game ♥ I bought it on amazon with my dad with .//hack infection and when it came, I got pretty addicted. And then, I got my neighbors addicted.

So my first game was Save the Homeland for ps2 and it was one of the older ones. (Maybe the second oldest?) You could only play as a dude, and you couldn't marry a girl, and you had to figure out a way to save the town in a year by buddying up with one of the villagers enough to make them accomplish something that would, yes, make the town too valueable to demolish.

I, of course, just tended my cows and chickens and horse ♥ and got addicted making money $v$ and then lost.

Then, I got friends in mineral town and OMG YAY I CAN BE A GIRL oh gosh, I missed when silver came out, but now I new how all the girl pokemon fans felt ;A; My favorite husband was the blacksmith Gray in that, my second favorite the doctor. The blacksmith was just so sweet, I just couldn't NOT marry him. In that game I have the marriage and the child, BUT OMG ITS GOING TO TAKE FOREVER TO HAVE ENOUGH WOOD TO BUY THE VACATION COTTAGE LKJDHKSJHFKJD KDK LDHKJDJHF. At least all the sprites do all the work lol. That game was such a time kill.

Then came runefactory2 and it is so sweet. Maybe I'l dl the emulator for rune factory one or something. Anyway, I married the rich girl in that, and had her daughter. I like the elf boy a lot for the second generation.

Rune Factory is my favorite game -- don't feel like I'm just doing chores all the time haha.

Fav single ppl: more friends in mineral town's Gray, Fav Bachelorette, rune factory 2's rosalind

This is an underappreciated series here, apparently.

[/s] Favorite bachelorette? Leia. Why? Because she's a mermaid. What on earth else could she possibly need?
☆ Favorite game of the series... Ah, that's a toughie. I love Animal Parade, but I'm going to have to go with Another Wonderful Life. It's not nearly as extensive as the other games, but I love the Darker and Edgier feel it has, and being the first HM game I played, it will always hold a special place in my heart.[/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/font]

[murk]

solike i'm not a HARDCORE HM/RF player, but i've always enjoyed the games and i typically go off to play them to wind down. ;;

[/s] and asking her why she got me the MALE one when there's a FEMALE one. lol. i still have it, too. i never, sadly, got ANWL.
- i don't have many but i have AWL, Happy Island (?), and Rune Factory Frontier. I've kind of ragequit Happy Island because i can't figure out how to start a farm no matter how hard i try lol and i lost it whoops, same goes for RFF.
- Rock and Celia. i have such a broad spectrum of characters omg
- AWL because that's the only one i can seem to get farish in- even if i've never beaten it and i just keep resetting because i never want it to eeeend.[/ul]

Did someone say...
HARVEST MOON? *u*

I love Harvest Moon. =u= There's just something really addicting about the games that makes you wanna play it non-stop. I think it's because of the characters. lolol Like, I MUST MAKE THIS PERSON FALL MADLY IN LOVE WITH ME aspect of the game that I like. It's just fun, okay?! *u*

My first HM game was HM SNES. Oh, those were the good old days. Whenever I hear music from that game, I am washed over with memories of yore. =u= My first waifu was Ann. She was my favorite character because I loved her spunky, eccentric personality. I'd dance with her for all the festivals.

My next HM games were for the Gameboy. lol I don't really remember much from those games but I do remember completing them and being really rich. lol HM: Mineral Town! Still a classic. Loved the gameplay, characters, heart scenes, everything about it. I liked how everything was compact and easy to get to. HM N64 is next. That game. omg. Best one ever in my opinion. I married Ann again, har har har. I friggen' loooove the festivals in this one. They were more interactive than the others because you could actually see the dances and stuff. HM: Save the Homeland was fun but disappointing. I wanna marry people, damn it!

Holy crap. I've played almost all of the HM games to date. o__o And I loved them all. ALL. Although my lack of PSP causes me to be unable to play Hero of Leaf Valley. Damn et. Oh, and Animal Parade. I would like to play them someday. =u=

As for the person I love to woo every time, I'd say Ann. *u* There are some other girls I like such as Dia, Gwen, Elli, the list goes on and on and on.... As for guys, I like Cliff and Gray. *u*

OMG I almost forgot about how in HM N64, the girls sprain their ankles you carry them home. And they get sick and you visit them. Oh, the good times, the good times. =u=

/loves harvest moon to death.
/never actually finished a game though ffff
/bad fan, bad fan.

my first harvest moon game, i'm pretty sure, was harvest moon ds. FFF- I CAUGHT ON LATE OKAY. and i only own harvest moon ds, i owned harvest moon ds cute and rune factory at one time, but uh, my parents gave them away qq. most of the games i play on an emulator 8I ugdsklfjdsa, i absolutely love luke from ToT, andand i also love gray from MFoMT and FoMT. i don't have a favourite female bachorlette because they're all just aldkfjslafj, and i can't pick. srsly.

ugh, omg my favourite is a toss-up between ToT and (M)FoMT. ToTT is a pretty good one too, but i'm not too into the whole two different town thing. too much wooork, omg.

Aaah I love RPing HM on Tumblr, although I'm usually on and off with the games...

What was your first HM game?
>> Island of Happiness! I got up to getting Vaughn's first heart event before my file got corrupted for no reason..

What HM games do you own?
>>DS Cute, Island of Happiness, Sunshine Islands, Grand Bazaar, Tale of Two Towns, and if the Rune Factory games count, I have all three of them and I am waiting anxiously for the fourth. Unf, those bachelors.

Who is your favorite bachelor and bachelorette?
>> My favorite bachelor is probably Angelo from Grand Bazaar. I like Kana (ToTT) a lot, too, though. And...there's someone from RF3, but you can't date him, so oh well. Bachelorette...whatsherface, Reina, from ToTT.

What is your favorite game of the series?
>>RF3. I actually finished it, and the dual blades were fantastic for my battling style. I like RF2 because of the dual generations...

I really want Animal Parade so I can date the Harvest King... *^*

I didn't play much HM seriously until Tree of Tranquility and Animal Parade. I played one on GBA I think a very, very long time ago but I remember zilch about it and I was borrowing it from somebody anyway. I only own the aforementioned games, although I plan to purchase A New Beginning when it comes out. And my favorite man was the Wizard. Yesss.

[● ULLA]

harvest moon are my feel-good games. they're not my favorite game series out there but whenever something bad happens to me in my life i always find myself crawling back. there's just something about the simple life gameplay that just makes all my worries fly out the window xD

-my first was A Wonderful Life and i still play it every once in awhile for a trip down memory lane
-i don't have that many, just A Wonderful Life, Animal Parade, and A New Beginning
-i think my favorite bachelor was Tobi from Animal Parade, but there are so many in that one and i haven't romanced them all so i'm not really sure
-i'd have to say that my favorite is still AWL, it was the first and it's the only one that really keeps me coming back time and time again.
