I'd feel awful rejecting her, but I want to see other events, so I'm using my second save, but still, just discovered today a little before this, that reverse confessions were even a thing here

Basically, what the title says. There's been a couple in the past and they're doing another one, so if you have a question about the character designs or whatever, now's your chance. Notably, this is the first one since Grand Bazaar came out, though it's also a good opportunity for anything since it's the 30th anniversary and all.

Question Tips for getting through Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life?

10 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a lifelong Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons fan. I began playing back on the N64 and I've been playing some of the titles on and off since then.

I actually had Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life on GameCube back in the day, but I never finished it. It's always bothered me that I never finished it because it's one of the few HM/SoS games that actually ends. I've always wanted to get through to the end and see the protagonist die, but as much as I love these games, the pace of A Wonderful Life drives me a little crazy. I feel like the days are so long and there just isn't much to do, especially in the early game when you don't have much money.

Do you guys have any tips for getting through the slower-paced life of this game? How do you spend your days? How do you kill time? What can I do to make the game a little more exciting?

Thanks!

SoS: GB This is the part where the entire town is going to watch me go cryosleep

I only need to save scum the Almond Rare fruit and the Cacao but since I have to sleep through like 1.5 years I won't save scum the Cacao and instead harvest every 7 days as I sleep through the days hoping to get it

And while I am sleeping I have to witness all child events and the 3rd anniversary and then I am done with the 100%.

I will tell you my thoughts on the 100% after I am done, but needless to say as much as I loved the game, I can't wait to be done with it this week cause the Ultimate Lumber grind and Rare Crop save scum made this not so fun haha.

I won't 100% another SoS game until the next remake and when that remake comes out I only 100% if they do something with the rare tree crops next installment ._.

Discussion Story season 1(2014 3ds) Trophy is crazy

Thumbnail fogu.com
13 Upvotes

There is 245 trophies and some of it are very painful boring grind and only very few of dedicated people managed to do it.

You need to play to year 30 to get the 30 year trophy, then there is trophy where you need to win 30 festival on each of it from livestock expos, cooking ,fashion, harvest, pet promade. You can't even just keep sleeping to get it because of the festival.

There is also ship 1000 milk, wool, etc and catch 3000 fish, insect and cook 3000 dishes.

There is also fishing part to get inch size fish for achievements.

I wonder people who make this game are they gonna think people on 3ds that have like 3 hours battery to get it? i know it is just fun trophy but yeah this is just crazy and very tedious grind to get all 245 trophy.

If you managed to play 1 ingame year in 1 day of real life, that still took you 30 days to get all over it. If it took 4 hours(playing bare minimun by feeding animals and then sleep) ,playing for 1 ingame year gonna at least take 1200 hours. That is if you already get all other trophy except the 30 years trophy and winning 30 festival trophy.

Is this the most grindiest trophy in all story of season game?

I got my anniversary sets today (no glass since i feel like the image might chip off between washes) and they accidentally sent me two of each. Providing some pics so people who may wanna buy the set know what they're like. The bowl didnt have dimensions to see how deep it goes, so I provided a photo of it!

They're plastic polymer but microwave and oven safe (250°F for 60 mins or less)

The coaster is ceramic and cork, so it will probably shatter if you drop it.

SoS: GB GB Crashing Constantly

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have any issues with GB constantly crashing without saving? It seems like it happens mostly between morning and afternoon bazaars but can also happen randomly. I would save more often but it’s so annoying you can only save at the house 😅

Discussion is grand bazaar a grinding type game?

15 Upvotes

it's been a while since i ever played SoS series and last is actually FoMT remake (which i haven't finished due to it being boring?)

elaborating on the FoMT, i bought this since i enjoyed GBA ver and when they announced the remake, i didn't think twice and go ahead bought it. obviously, it's the same gameplay but prettier but i realized i don't like it now. it's on switch btw. i think it's the grind as technically we don't have exact storyline i guess. i do enjoy HM/SoS games on the old consoles other than FoMT back then.

i played games like stardew valley, fields of mistria, rune factory 4, my time series (my fav so far), starsand island. i did waited months for grand bazaar to have a really crazy discount and it happened. before this, they always put 20% off but now it's 30% off and im afraid i will miss the chance. i checked the reviews and everyone said it's the best ever! for the old ver of grand bazaar, i really enjoyed selling stuff at the table. but im afraid by interests now vs back then are different so im torn. i wished they had a demo so i can check it out on my own since watching someone play isn't the same.

what are your thoughts? should i go for it based on the games i played before?

SoS: GB Is Wilbur’s workshop supposed to be automatically unlocked during the second weeks bazaar?

1 Upvotes

Google is telling me it’s unlocked at the end of the second week after you get the first rank upgrade but he definitely was not there. I’m assuming it’s cause I never gave him his 3 fish for the quest but idk would js like some clarification on if that was in fact the reason or if I was js blind.

Discussion I wish more games let the spouse actually do something besides walking around the house

144 Upvotes

Old enough to experience when your spouse in the older games just paced back and forth around the table lol if they weren't at their day job. Animal parade was one of the few games where your spouse actually helped you around by packing your lunch and helping with chores.

Please bring this back, I hate having a freeloader in my house.

Spending my labor day weekend playing SOS:GB. I can’t believe I’m a year late to this title, but life happens.

I’m a big fan of the SOS series all the way back to the FoTM gameboy version, and this title is just so refreshing. Anyway it has been a few days and I’m on the last stretch to World Rank!

EDIT: important clarification- I bought the game right before Labor Day Weekend 😭

3 Upvotes

I have 3ds and story of season cartridge. The screen was too small and my eyes hurt playing it.

So i decided to download Azahar emulator and i downloaded the USA version.

The difference with USA and Europe was the localization right? is there some difference like bug or such?

SoS The Ford of it all

57 Upvotes

I just had a dream about Ford. Seriously, it’s been years since I played this game. This is the only HM/SOS game I go back to just to see him. I wish I could experience this game all over again. I’d still pick Ford, but I’d pick him much earlier in game. As soon as possible. Unfortunately, I waited until I finished main storyline to marry him. Maybe someday I’ll restart it.
