Honestly, they could have pleased both sides by making rival marriages activated by player action. So you could either leave em all lonely forever, or all paired up if they wanted, or pick and choose if they hate Rick.

They barely had one in the first three CS anyways.

Alisa was clearly the canon one has she was the only one with romance endings but they gave everyone a romance ending in 4.

Very clear that she was canon, I just don't like Alisa. I think Laura or Emma would have been a better match. Though for combat, Alisa is too good to not use....

This would be a really lovely solution I hope they implement in the future. I loved rival marriages. The marriage and kid system is why I love AWL as much as I do.

She was hinted to be canon without actually making it canon. All 4 games (and probably Hajimari still) they dance around it so no one gets upset that their waifu pick that isn't Alisa doesn't win. It's similar with Crossbell with Lloyd and Elie. For something so extremely narrative and character heavy as Kiskei, it really bothers me that they started doing this after Sky.

Hints sure, but the hints are so major it is practically set in stone. No one else holds a candle to Ellie for Lloyd. Rean is much more vague, but that crash hello thing is pretty firm.

They released a poll in Japan and the people voted NO.
Yeah, Japanese gamers apparently HATED the rival marriages. It's weird how that goes. I'm reading a manga where the main character sort of accidentally plagiarizes another manga. It started to go into the ethics of it, but apparently Japanese readers hated the plagiarism angle so much that the author changed course. : /

Enough talk of waifus - my fields won't sow themselves. I just started Summer, and I'm planning out my crop layouts. I want my onions to be closest to the shipping container, because aesthetics. My corn and tomatoes will share real estate beside the onions, and my pineapples will be a bit south of them. I also kind of want to move my grass to the northern part of my field, as opposed to the southern part where they started.

As an aside, I _love_ that they make your farm animals run inside automatically when it gets late out. I hated having to devote a block of time to getting the fuckers into their barns.

I love the bell. Ah summer, the time when typhoons ruined my pineapples. Ever since I got two typhoons in a week I have save scummed the weather since. If there is a typhoon or even a blizzard, nope not happening.

It's wonderful. Corralling animals has always been a pain. One of the games had a rope you could use to lead them one at a time and it was such a headache.

After playing through one year, I have to admit that I just reinstalled stardew valley with a couple mods. HM just does not compare to SV sadly.

I'm trying to chill out but I'm still irate. Someone needs to whack Marvelous over the head for their oversight (or approval) of letting other events coincide with festival entry dates. This is the second year in a row now that I couldn't do the cow festival--one I still haven't won but CAN now--because of kid shit. first the pregnancy, and now her learning to walk. I'm really, really peeved.

You know, that is one thing SV has over this series: you can just turn your children into doves.

You can divorce your spouse and even erase their memories of your time together! IIRC, you have to befriend the Wizard and he'll let you into the backroom of his house. There are several shrines there that do different things like changing your appearance among the other stuff.

I think you have to offer up a prismatic scale or something to turn your kids into doves. Then they just fly away...

anime bad

the more anime Harvest Moon got, the worse it got. Everything past DS was when it got irredeemably too anime
If that's how you feel about it, fine. I don't. I like the anime aesthetic. Personally, I thought Magical Melody, Animal Parade, and Trio of Towns were all real high points of the series and they were very "anime."

I never said it wasnt anime, but it got significantly more anime during and especially after DS, and Story of Seasons in general definitely looks more anime than anything in FoMT did

SoS has a much less moe art style than the 64 onwards era.



OG Ran looks very moe and 10 years old while current Ran looks like an actual person.

Is it possible to miss a day from being sick by working too hard / late? I remember that happening to me a lot during HM64.

Do any wild flowers grow during the winter? Or should I stock up on blue flowers in the Fall for the Harvest Goddess?

If you play on PC, there are mods that fix those issues.

I never played Stardew Valley. I didn't like the character and design aesthetics, which are a big draw for me in these games. Yes, mod mod mod, but if the base game isn't enough to get me to play it, why would I spend the time modding it?

I mean if the looks are the only thing turning you off, mods are an easy fix. Unlike the gameplay. Hell the portrait fix isn't really a mod you install, you just copy and paste the new files into the portraits folder or whatever. Takes like two seconds to make it look much nicer.

It's automatic, you can choose if you want a boy, girl, or random. I don't think you can save scum, pretty sure it's a set number of days after your marriage.
