I would like you to list things that you would like to see change or be added to typical Harvest Moon games and why you would want to see those changes!

Gay marriage.

REALLY?!

LunarNeko · 05-12-2010, 11:23 AM

Yes - I feel that I would enjoy being able to marry a person of the same sex.

Do you feel the same way in real life?

LunarNeko · 05-12-2010, 12:31 PM

Not always - but often.

A quality change, for better.
Changes... Go back in time and do a new game with the changes that GBC3 brought + improvement.
No shipping bin, because no one goes to your farm everyday to see if there is something in a box. In the very least the phone felt better. You call and say what you are selling, they come to get the stuff and leave the money. Weather like in AWL, since it seems that they stopped using it?
BtN sized mines and with less useless items, or give those items a purpose instead of only selling them (like how in WB you use gems to make other items that sell for lots of money).
TV seems to have some changes that I wanted to see. More than 1 village, a "request board", a cart for the horse to transport stuff.
Part time job system like in GBC3 would be cool too, if other types were available too.
More distinct places. Much like how it happens in GBC3. More events and even events that aren't related with the village. Like how GBC3 had the falling stars day and the eclipse day.

To have the actual Harvest Moon in Harvest Moon.

Bring RF3 AI system to HM games.

Like before the festivals, have our character help others setting up the festival. Like how we helped building the hot springs and the bridge in N64. If it's a festival in a small community, people usually help setting it up, but in HM they pop out of nowhere. O_O

Sexuality thread.

Are you a guy or girl?

LunarNeko · 05-12-2010, 12:44 PM

My gender is unimportant.

Anyway The Sorrow had some really good points, and I'd like to see some of those changes as well. It'd be kind of cool to have mini-games on the TV again too.

Yes! that would be cool. That was really cool, to play the games on TV, plus I liked Horse races in GBC2 a lot more.

I feel like the mini games decreased in number and quality too. Frisbee game was funny, but then games like the horse pulling you in SI was plain boring.
WB sorta of lacks mini games, but it has a really simple snowboarding mini game (or you can still use the snowboard without activating the mini game and anywhere in the village, as long as you have a slope), but they made it too simple, since it's still in the village, and it doesn't use a new scenery/screen like in GBC3. Snowboarding in GBC3 was pretty cool.

I think that in WB we help in some festivals. The mayor gives you tea leaves, you make the "tea bag" (or whatever they call it) and you bring it to the mayor in the festival day and everyone drinks some tea. Same happens with a different item. Still it felt something too easy and it doesn't really consume much time. Something more... time consuming and "exhausting" would be cooler. Like, making the stalls and such things, we could have the game skip it or maybe having us controlling the character and do things like carry materials or something else, would give a nice feeling too.

I think that the current consoles have power for a lot more. Like, when they build something on our farm, now it happens in one day.
Why not making it like, in the morning the guy/guys arrive and the npcs bring like, a cart with the materials, then we see the construction being made (in stages like in other games, not having us seeing it being made piece by piece, it would be a lot more complicated to make it. XD) as time goes by.
Not like, building appears and guy spends 3 days hammering the same place.
If they are using our materials, the game can say something like, to put the materials in a spot so they can use them.
Also, completion of the buildings being done by hours, not by days. Like, guys work 8 hours a day, and a building needs 24 hours to be completed. If we don't put the materials in the spot by the time they are supposed to start working, they can't work and the construction is delayed till we get them the materials.
