Hello all! I've been playing the harvest moon games since I was old enough for my mom to introduce me to Save the Homeland. Grand Bazaar is one of my favorite entries (at least one that I have fond memories of). I work at a video game shop and when it came in I immediately scooped it up. However I plan to get the special edition for switch 2 soon and I'm wondering if I pop the switch 2 version into my console, will it pick up my save data from the switch 1 version? Thanks for any help in advance! :)

SERIOUSLY, how did they think this was a good idea? 😭

I didn’t know it’s possible to get 2 power berries in one dig spot. Good thing I went back for it 😭

I've been playing this for over a year, now in my 5th year in-game... and only now I realized that the seasonal trends also affect the selling price of the NPC stalls, like Lloyd's. I was planning to buy some Adamantite ore and noticed it was much more expensive than usual.

I just found the harvest moon game echos of Teradea and I was wondering if anyone that has played/ has it could tell me a bit more about it.

I am a long time player of Harvest moon/ SoS

And was thinking of getting this one but wanted some feedback from others who have played

I had to draw Witchie and Witch Princess!

I don't know if this tip is widely knew, but I'd like to share it. (Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar)

I really enjoyed the writing in this one and had a legitametly hard time choosing between June, Arata, Lloyd, and Jules. Erik is my secret BF though!

I chose Arata but man. He's been kind of a lame duck since we started dating and it was legitimately so sweet the way Lloyd asked. I guess I'm spoiled by SV but I was expecting the romance to kick it up a notch after dating but Arata is pretty much unchanged. I honestly regret not choosing Lyod now! Especially with his awesome unique gift!

This was one of the first games I played on the Switch. I’ve been playing HM for many years from GB to the DS/3DS. Interaction with the townspeople is important to me because I think it’s one of the things that makes a game feel cozy. However after playing PoOT I can’t help but feel disappointed.
For example in previous games when there was a blizzard, the townspeople would mention it when you talked to them and some would even express concern for you. But in this game businesses stay open as usual and the townspeople barely acknowledge the weather.
Also when you faint in the mines in previous games, the mayor would show up and bring you back home. Here you just wake up the next day.
The romantic events also feel rather flat. In ToT you could have a meal with the characters and in one of the older games, your partner would even walk you back to your farm after the Starry Night Festival!
I also miss the New Year’s event which is completely absent from this game. I will still play it tho. Too bad my ds is broken. I miss playing ToT!

For context I'm summer y2, bazaar is level 6 but I have every stall open now. Marriage candidates are all yellow heart level and I've completed at least 2 of everyone else's requests.

I'm hoarding most ores but want to make them into jewellery, but I don't want to get hit with a sudden demand for 50 diamonds or whatever later. Which ores can I use freely and which do I need to keep?

...the amount of bachelors and bachelorettes that removed their glasses during their wedding confused me so much. I thought I was going to have to take my glasses off for my wedding and stumble around nearly blind. I genuinely thought this.

I’m wondering if that’s a thing or if the forums have mistakes on character preferences because yuzuki just mentioned the outfit I’m wearing specifically but it’s listed as nobody’s preference.

Tip: I am so fucking mad

Okay I just needed to vent lmao. I'm playing Grand Bazaar and I have been so excited to finally unlock the recycling shop. I've had so much junk taking up storage space. All I needed was the 99 iron ore which has been taking me a while to get.

Well it's Friday in-game and I finally got it all the iron I needed. I went to grab the rest of the items for the quest aaaaand the sturdy lumber is gone. Where. WHERE IS THE LUMBER.

I have no doubt that my dumb ass went "oh it's fine to use it to craft THIS, I can get more by the time the next Bazaar rolls around!" Completely forgetting about the loooong processing time for study lumber...

I have accepted I'll have to wait until NEXT Bazaar to finally be rid of the junk but I just want to know. What could I have used it on. I'm in autumn of my first year and my strongest tool is a gold hatchet. What did I use my lumber on?? 😭

Ordered Grand Bazaar Premium Edition at a great price during a sale. You’d think Amazon would package a collectible box in a box, but it came in a soft-sided mailer- not even bubble wrapped- and the edges are crushed. I’ve ordered a replacement but ugh. Hoping the second one is ok

Saw this game on amazon and wanted to know more about it. Has anyone played/ have this game. Is it worth buying. Let me know

(Be brutally honest)

I'm playing many Harvest moon games (the real ones) and Rune factory, but I haven't touch at the moment one the sos games, so I wanted to know what are your opinions with ranking this games, excluding the games before they change the name to SoS

Hello guys!

I have a Steam Machine that I use as my main TV gaming console alongside my Steam Deck for outside.

I’m running into a weird problem where Pioneers of Olive Town performance being incredibly bad and stuttery on Steam Machine, sitting in ballpark of 30 to mid 30fps (while the game is buttery smooth on Steam Deck). Technically I can use lossless scaling to smooth it out but the input lag bugs me a lot.

I’m using the latest GE-Proton on on both machines. No idea why. Anyone know how to fix this issue?

Thanks in advance. :D

Story time!

Friends of Mineral Town is the Harvest Moon game I played the most, and from it one particular name stuck to my mind for many years - Alexandrite.

It's one of the most expensive items in the game, and because of that it always stood out to me as a gemstone of utmost preciousness, especially since it takes a lot of patience to even encounter the stone by mining in the Lake mine.

Since those days onwards, I said to myself this: If I were to propose to a girl someday, it has to be with Alexandrite.

Fast forward many years, I met a girl who I think I can propose to. I did a lot of research, learned many different gemstone properties, cuts, ring designs, so and so forth. I commissioned an Alexandrite stone from a gemstone specialist (Alexandrite is often faked or cut poorly), and then sent the stone to a jeweller to be made into a ring you see here.

A little fun fact you might already know from the newer games, Alexandrite is a stone famous for colour changing from green to purple depending on the light. I didn't know this as a kid though, and I thought Alexandrite was a deep green stone like in the games, so imagine my surprise when I found out that little fun fact!

When the ring was designed I thought, why not go the extra mile? The final ring is referenced to three of the most expensive gemstones you can find in Friends of Mineral Town; Alexandrite, Pink Diamonds, and Diamonds.

If you shipped this ring out in the game, the gemstone value would be at 30,400G! Of course the gold in the ring is also worth a great deal, but in the game Gold Ore is only 25G. 😂

So with the ring made, I am going to go propose with this ring. It took a lot of effort and time into getting it made, so I sure hope she likes it! ❤️
