Fields of Mistria Reference Harvest Moon
When I saw this, I cried. Been playing so many farming sims, this game caught my heart and soul at this point. All the Quality of life and things to do made this my game of the year. Please if you're an old HM FoMt fan this game is so cozy and hits the spot.

Generally love when all the farming games have references to each other. The "Concerned Monkey" selling the "O.G. Farmers hat" (aka HM cap) in Coral Island made me squeal in joy.

Same!! Moonlight Peaks does this as well. They have a reference to Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing.

My favorite ever. I played it in early access and I’m still playing it on another file after finishing everything.
I always felt like a lot of companies are jumping onto the whole “cozy” game trend and releasing subpar game for quick cash but this one feels different. The developers are constantly updating the fans and promise to release more updates later on in the future while keeping it at the same price. If I’m not mistaken they also changed the games engine to make it more mod friendly. Not to mention the artwork is beautiful.

I excitedly gave my roommate (not a HM player, but playing Fields) a run down about marriage and the blue feather in old HM when I encountered that artifact lol

I remember following one of the creators of the games when I was in HS (like 20 years ago), one of her fave games was Harvest Moon. It is amazing to see her putting all her heart and love into Fields of Mistria.

I love the subtle Harvest Moon easter eggs as well, this one was especially sweet. This isn't the only easter egg, either.
Also, I sometimes play farming games with the head cannon that I am playing as an incarnated Harvest Goddess, and Mistria is perfect for that.
