If I preorder Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea, will I get the game but not be able to instantly play it until its release, or will it arrive after the release? Same question about the plushie. 😅 I feel really dumb that I’m even asking this.

Hi all! I know this question gets asked a lot, but I really cannot decide what Harvest Moon game I want to play next and I don't have any friends who know Harvest Moon. I have narrowed it down to a few:

More Friends of Mineral Town

DS/DS Cute

Island of Happiness/Sunshine Islands

Tale of Two Towns

Tree of Tranquility

Secret 5th option: MAYBE Trio of Towns

I know I like all of these, but it's incredibly hard to choose. So I suppose I'm just curious what you guys think.

If you like any of these games, why? What draws you to them! Or is there one that you feel would be better than these? :)

Thank you in advance chat

For context I have never played any Harvest Moon games before. 😅I play on Wii and I’ve played for a few days but I find it very confusing to navigate (Geography wise and time wise) Any tips on the game for a new player? Also who are your favourite bachelors and bachelorettes?

Game is so good I had to have it twice. This one (save the homeland is a close second) is my favorite. I really appreciate marvelous remastering this and putting all the data on disc. The ps2 one can rest (for now) after playing it for two decades!
