00:00Fodder's a bit overpriced. Cows cost 6,000 G, which is 1,000 more than last time. I can't help but feel like they're overpriced. And chickens are 1,000 G more than last time.
00:15And with eggs being less than 100 G, considering how long it takes for a chicken to pay for itself, the chickens are definitely overpriced. At least you don't need a bunch of grass planted or fodder to buy animals now.
00:30But it's practically impossible to buy multiple animals in a day unlike last game because Doug insists on going to your farm right away to bring you the first one and then he'll say he's closing up shop.
00:42Cutting grass does not give you chicken feed as well as fodder, unlike in all of the previous games.
00:49This game arbitrarily separates the two feed, meaning that you are forced to always buy chicken feed.
00:56I looked up chickens and it told me that if you put your chicken outside, it'll feed itself.
01:02The chicken will only be happy the next day if there's a wooden fence around it. Somehow.
01:10But I never bother with that.
01:13I hate that you can't go the second digit immediately when trying to buy chicken feed and have to instead hold up for a long time to get to ten.
01:21The coop doesn't even have a place where you take feed out of it to put it in the bins.
01:25It's not that big a deal, but it's very strange, requiring you to go into your menu again and equip it and wait through a load time.
01:33It's way faster than having to go into the menu and equip chicken feed one at a time, repeatedly, every day, like you have to do with fodder.
01:43So it's awesome that I can just go from the left side to the right and won't go.
01:47Good thing the game has eight slots for your tools, so that it doesn't matter that you always have the chicken feed in your inventory.
01:54I love the convenience that you don't have to feed mere chicks.
01:58So far, that's never been the case.
02:00But they can undo it at any time, and then you never know when they're gonna do that.
02:04You don't just walk through chicks like in Harvest Moon JVC.
02:08So that's annoying.
02:10You don't have to pick up chickens every day to raise their affection, because the eggs are always worth the same amount.
02:16You'll have to pick them up anyways, because the coop is so cramped.
02:20You have to get them out of your way all the time.
02:23But at least the coop isn't as cramped as it was in the last game.
02:26The level design in the barn and coop is glaringly bad, in the sense that you always have to face diagonally to feed the animals.
02:34So one time I accidentally wasted chicken feed, because it turned out that I faced the same stall again.
02:41This game is just so obsessed with its isometric camera angle.
02:45We get it, you're 3D.
02:47But guess what?
02:48Super Mario RPG had an isometric camera angle, and it was on the Super Nintendo.
02:52But you didn't see Harvest Moon Super Nintendo having that camera angle.
02:56Just because I activated the dream text with Mary last night, going into the library caused her to have an event where it turns out my character was the one who gave her a book she had a long time ago.
03:06Because apparently he knew her and the old lady as a kid.
03:09Which just confused and detached me from the protagonist since I'm just finding out about this,
03:14But I thought he had no history with this town until he came there.
03:17Which is more relatable.
03:18And then time skipped to 5pm.
03:21So I couldn't give anyone a gift.
03:23You shouldn't be punished for getting our faction up.
03:26And every bachelorette has a cutscene where they get a hurt ankle.
03:30And I was confronted with two options.
03:33Carry her, or get help.
03:35I say stated here because realistically, you might not be able to carry her to where she wants to go and just look weak and fall with her.
03:43Or she might think it's embarrassing.
03:45The rival for her carried her.
03:48It's also distractingly unrealistic and immersion breaking that when a bachelorette does get a sprained ankle, they're magically fine again the next day.
03:56Why would your character ask the rival for help anyways?
04:00I would have liked getting her to see her fall out of the tree.
04:04Cause it would have been funny slapstick against someone so easily offended that she tells Kai,
04:09Don't compare me to a wine barrel!
04:11When he said she was lighter than one.
04:13That should have been a compliment.
04:15And Kai was helping her.
04:17I hate that the typhoons get rid of some of your grass.
04:21Combine that with the bullshit that apparently you can't plant grass in the fall in this game.
04:26As you can tell because of the lack of grass seeds.
04:30Every bachelorette has their hard events go on the same structure.
04:34So all of them have an event where you visit them in their bedroom when they're sick.
04:39And you somehow aren't able to give her a gift that day.
04:42It was disappointing that she only says one line.
04:46When she's sick in bed her heart icon isn't there.
04:49This game introduced birthday presents.
04:51But you only get a birthday present from the one girl that likes you the most.
04:56You'd only know this from a guide.
04:58But the lucky bracelet makes there be a 90% chance of sunny weather instead of 80% like usual.
05:06And you only get it from Karen.
05:08It's something that's only gonna bother you if you read a guide and find out about the birthday presents.
05:14I was incensed that when I carried an herb into my farm after buying a cow.
05:19The cow naming scene had my herb be invisible and it vanished from my inventory.
05:24The reason I'm feeding the cows is because I naturally assumed that in a 3D game cows would need food this time.
05:32So the problem is the game not telling you about not needing to waste food on them.
05:38I don't want to hit a cow with my tools 15 times just as a cheap way of maximizing its affection.
05:44It would take 3 days of taking care of a cranky cow to get it to get milk again after that.
05:50The bells on the necks of the cows look so similar in color to their mouths that the cows look like they constantly have their mouths gape.
05:58Because the bells blend right into their mouths.
06:01Cows can get accidentally pushed and then end up walking out of the barn on their own.
06:07On two days in a row.
06:09Do I have to do this every day?
06:11If that's not bad enough, the ranching has a little slowdown in it once you get nearly 8 cows.
06:19The game will fail to register if button presses half the time.
06:23The cows can still clip into each other.
06:26Taking care of animals has the same problems as the previous games.
06:31If you press A in front of the fodder storage while holding fodder,
06:35You will destroy the fodder instead of simply putting it back in the storage.
06:39Like would be realistic.
06:41This is worth mentioning because it's inevitably going to happen because the slowdown makes you mash A to get results.
06:48If you use the medicine not close enough to the cow, you don't waste it.
06:53Even though you still sit through an animation.
06:56That doesn't make up for the fact that you have to buy medicine one at a time and you can only have one medicine at a time once again.
07:03Which is back to being a huge problem considering that it takes way more time in the day than one hour this time to go to the animal shop and back.
07:13So if a bunch of your animals are sick at once because of a typhoon, you're not going to be able to heal all of them.
07:20The cows take two less days than it does in the previous game for a cow to produce milk after you buy it.
07:2721 days.
07:29This applies to the previous games too, but you'd think the animals would eat fodder regardless of what stall it was in if they didn't have any fodder in their own stall.
07:39But they don't.
07:41It's really awesome that if cows enter the happy condition, any interaction with them gives them even more affection than usual.
07:51And they're immune to getting sick for three days.
07:55But there's an only 15% chance of them becoming happy.
07:59And it's only if you put them out to graze.
08:02Which you're never going to do because it takes forever.
08:05On the bright side, I love, love, love the fall music for this game.
08:17And the place where you go foraging has its own separate theme anyways.
08:21So you don't even get to hear it that much.
08:23There's no flowers in the fall, when a lot of the characters like them.
08:28While I love that this game has eggplants as a multi-harvest crop finally, I was baffled to learn that eggplants were the only fall crop.
08:37When the Dorador salesman offered to give me super high grade chicken feed, I was John savvy enough to look him up, learn that it was a scam, and turn him down.
08:46It's really mean and stupid for the programmer to waste his time programming the salesman into the game that offers you nothing but scams.
08:54On some level I can appreciate it because there are scam artists salesmen in real life.
09:00So it's good to teach kids a lesson about that.
09:04But surely they would have seen it on television before having to deal with it in real life.
09:10Apparently he can offer to give you soap, but he doesn't and you wasted your money.
09:16It doesn't make any sense that he wouldn't give you the product you paid for.
09:20The feed almost tricks you into falling for it because he says it'll make your chickens like golden eggs.
09:26Which were a thing in the Game Boy Color game.
09:30This guy is disappointing on two levels.
09:33One, since text boxes don't tell you the name of the person talking in this game, I was expecting Mary to show up.
09:40Second, at first the salesman looked like a stereotypical witch.
09:43But no, that'd be too interesting. Instead it's a man.
09:47Well, that's interesting on his own, but not what I really wanted.
09:51So one of all people is not a recycled character.
09:54This guy's a better design than him.
09:56Another thing that sucks is that when you turn him down, he keeps talking to you.
10:02And the text in this game scrolls at molasses speed.
10:06I'd hate playing this game legitimately without the ability to speed it up.
10:11And then when you turn him down a second time, he talks again.
10:15In such an unfair newbie trap.
10:17Even if you have an idea that the feed's not going to be that great because he's excited about it,
10:24you might buy it anyways because the whole point of playing a Harvest Moon game is to buy everything in the game.
10:30So you'd think you'd at least get something interesting.
10:34On my first playthrough, it took until late fall for me to get the gold watering can.
10:40Wouldn't it be awesome if there was an even better watering can after this?
10:43There isn't.
10:45I can't.
10:46I can't put lumber down on the cut grass.
10:49On fall 22nd, the head carpenter went to my house asking me to come build a bridge with him tomorrow.
10:55Fortunately, he told me he'd pay me.
10:58But I just have to hope he'll pay me more than the amount I would sacrifice by going there.
11:03Your character works for him automatically, which defeats the purpose of having this be a part of the game.
11:09It is a boring waste of time cutscene instead.
11:13When I'd feel more satisfied doing that myself and earning the cash.
11:17But at least it's more convenient than having to do it.
11:20He gets the lumber somehow without destroying the tree stump in front of him.
11:25He just hits it and keeps having to go back to the same stump.
11:30The work was only until three.
11:33And it's far from the only day where you're doing something like this.
11:37Cool. Even more cash.
11:39This is the kind of part-time work that I would like to be able to do with a lot more villagers.
11:44So I could have an actual bond with them formed and strengthened.
11:48The next day, he told me to hit something with a hammer.
11:51When it didn't look like that did anything.
11:53This green shirt guy is ugly and his fellow carpenters aren't lookers either.
11:58I can see why these guys didn't carry over to friends in Mineral Town.
12:02Aw, the next cutscene is just the hammer thing again.
12:05He doesn't even hit anything with it.
12:08He just used it on the ground.
12:10It's not like he's doing anything productive with it.
12:13There's an awesome glitch where if you befriend a woman so much that you get a special event from her the day before the first day of winter.
12:21And you have to stay up really late.
12:23Then you'll end up being pushed to the second day of winter and your crops will still be there from autumn.
12:28An easy way to befriend a woman enough is to repeatedly show care on your dog when the dog doesn't like you much.
12:35So I have to do that.
12:38There's no reason I should have to put up with not being able to grow crops in the winter again.
12:42The Game Boy Color Harvest Moon 1 let you grow crops in the winter.
12:46It's so lazy to have a black screen instead of animating the dreams.
12:52The text with Karen's event is overly dark.
12:55I'm in freaking winter and still only have small milk.
13:00There's apparently no makers in this game.
13:03Which means it takes longer to make enough money to buy everything.
13:07But it's more fun to not have to do an extra thing every time you're ranching just for a little bit more profit every time.
13:14Cows produce golden milk when they win the cow festival.
13:18I remember rejecting Karen's love on the beach earlier on and being annoyed at what a bitch she was.
13:24She somehow thinks she's a catch.
13:27It makes perfect sense that a drunk is associated with a vineyard.
13:30Why did they change that in Friends of Mineral Town?
13:33She showed me where they make the wine and we somehow got locked in the wine cellar.
13:38It's terrible writing that I wasn't told how they got locked in there.
13:42Eventually, after an eternity of walking into Wall Smashing A, I figured out that you exit it from the top floor by pressing A on the northern wall somewhere, behind something.
13:54When I retried the event to choose differently from the dialogue tree, I still forgot where to go to escape.
14:00It's so unintuitive that it's forgettable.
14:03It skips time ahead when it's over.
14:06It's so cheesy that out of nowhere Karen reveals that it was your character as a kid who rescued her from the wine cellar she got trapped in, that's how she knew to escape.
14:15It is good design to have the right answer be the one you'll most likely pick by accident.
14:20And that's usually the case in hard events.
14:23I probably don't remember to compliment it every time because that's the game doing what it's supposed to do.
14:29The Blue Feather is only 1000G, which feels like a bargain compared to other games.
14:35But it was annoying that Rick said, I must have plans.
14:39It was a pleasant surprise that as a wife, Mary says she does weeding for me.
14:44But your wife helping is useless because by that point in the game, there's nothing to spend money on anyways.
14:50She only does this for you a third of the time anyways, because somehow they even screwed that up.
14:55What next?
14:57Are they gonna have what the wife does for you be entirely dependent on which wife you marry?
15:02It's so weird that it's impossible to go into the kitchen and get your wife a gift when it's a typhoon.
15:07Don't talk to your character's wife when she's standing in front of a table full of meals.
15:12She'll ask you what day it is and you have four options.
15:16You'll never know which one to pick.
15:18I thought Anna disappeared from the game after you married Mary for the longest time because I could never find her in the mayor's house.
15:25But it turns out she becomes a new librarian.
15:28Without you being told about it for some reason.
15:30Why does her wife in this game quit her job when you marry her?
15:34Why would they give up their dream?
15:36It's sad.
15:37Like how Gotts' wife was the queen of dance and traveled the world until she got married.
15:42At least she says that of course she doesn't regret marrying him and that he gave her a warm hand in the house.
15:48It is easy to interpret it as an abusive household because Gotts is ill tempered.
15:54And it turns out he locked Karen in the wine cellar when she was a kid.
15:58At one point every time I tried to go into the barn or leave the farm the game hung on a black screen.
16:04Fortunately resetting the game made that not happen to me anymore.
16:08My dog got stuck in the stairway for the longest time past the loading zone where I'd be able to pick him up.
16:14Why is it impossible to destroy the boulder on the frozen lake no matter how much you hit it with the level 2 hammer without charging it up?
16:23Mining sucks worse than I ever thought it would.
16:27I took so long to talk about it because I barely played it.
16:31You have to ask permission from this carpenter in the cave to use the hull around a tiny square floor with nothing else to do.
16:38Where you only get to descend if you are lucky enough to find the hole before time runs out.
16:43How would falling down it not hurt?
16:46You're told that at 5pm or when you run out of stamina you'll get automatically taken out of the mine.
16:52Mining would be even more boring and stale than usual if every time you loaded up a floor you always got stuff from the same areas.
17:01Instead it keeps surprising you.
17:03But it's annoying that you're forced out of the mine after you're not even halfway done tilling the floor you're on.
17:08But the real problem that absolutely ruins mining that makes all of these seem like nitpicks in comparison is how god awfully slow it is.
17:19It's soul drainingly boring.
17:21There's a noticeable delay every time you till the soil and want to move forwards and till again.
17:27What also drags things though is you're arbitrarily not allowed to till multiple tiles at once.
17:33Why not?
17:35Why is that always a thing in the mines?
17:38It's just so boring that I never want to do it again.
17:42Every time you dig up an item you can't simply get it and immediately put it away.
17:46You get a text box reminding you of what the item is called and have to wait for your character putting it away.
17:53And there's a slight delay before you can go back to doing stuff.
17:56I was baffled that I couldn't eat Pontata Roots.
18:00Isn't it bad enough that you can only access the mine in the winter for no reason at all?
18:05Wouldn't feel so bad if you had to walk across a frozen lake just to get to it.
18:11How do you ever know that you have to give Cibera a blue rock to get one of his mistakes?
18:21I love that Lillian sells every seed all year once you get the greenhouse.
18:26Except the moon drop flower ones for no reason.
18:29So better buy 10 for the lottery before summer.
18:32It's sad that this makes story seasons look bad when this is literally the first game with the greenhouse in it.
18:37It already did better by letting it have access to every seed.
18:42And you can plant any seeds and seed alongside each other in the greenhouse.
18:47No spring sun mode.
18:49And I bet there's way more room for planting in the greenhouse than the other games.
18:54So much tilling to do.
18:56Typhoons have a 25% chance of destroying your greenhouse.
19:01The one that's a pretty big accomplishment.
19:04Why can't Lillian just sell the strawberry seeds right away?
19:09Why can they only be grown in the greenhouse?
19:12I was expected to show up tomorrow to help build the hot spring.
19:16So that's more money.
19:18And the hot spring bridge get built even if you don't help them.
19:22You just hop in and out automatically.
19:25So I can only guess that means I have to hop into it over and over again to restore myself to full.
19:30Oh never mind.
19:32According to a guide.
19:34You can only use it to restore 10 measly fatigue points once a day.
19:41Oh my god.
19:42The hot spring permanently gets rid of some of the stumps and forgeable items from the game.
19:47Wow.
19:48That's bad design.
19:49According to a guide.
19:52You're only able to get the fatigue restoring power from the bathroom once a day as well.
19:58The hot spring door is needlessly small and requires facing a diagonal direction to interact with.
20:04So sometimes you'll waste time mashing the A button not being able to interact with it for a while.
20:10You're not going to get all the power berries without a guide.
20:13Unlike in the previous game.
20:15I do like the idea that the game makes use of flowers like this.
20:21You actually have a reason to plant something other than the cash crops.
20:25Instead of having to hope you fish up a power berry off the dock.
20:29Which is far more about luck than skill.
20:32Why can't the power berry be a reward for befriending villagers?
20:36Isn't it bad enough that the blue power berry doesn't do anything?
20:40And the effect for it is actually from the red power berry you get from him?
20:45It sucks that you need to throw a large fish into the copper pond that doesn't look magical at all.
20:51Between 9am and 5pm.
20:54When you really have to think about it to figure out what time of the day it is.
20:59I bought the blue mist flower seed.
21:02And when I left the store.
21:04Pulpuri automatically talked to me and dragged me over to the goddess pond area to plant them.
21:09And told me to water it every day or it would die.
21:12Good thing it only requires one use of the watering can with no charging up.
21:17As it's just one flower.
21:19But would it die because of a typhoon?
21:21That'd be dumb.
21:22You can't prevent that.
21:24I love that there's a glitch where if you water one of the regular flowers in this place.
21:29It starts the blue mist quest.
21:32And then you can just exit and re-enter multiple times in the same day.
21:37And have it be fully grown immediately.
21:39Getting Pulpuri's photo is needlessly obtuse.
21:43Because it looks like you're done with the blue mist flower.
21:46Because it's bloomed.
21:48How are you supposed to know that you have to keep watering it until a butterfly shows up?
21:53Some NPCs give you recipes if you give them specific food related gifts.
21:59A few of them have to like you enough.
22:02In Sasha's case.
22:04Gotts has to like you enough.
22:06So you're not going to know that.
22:08You're not going to know any of the requirements for recipes.
22:11None of them tell you the steps to making the recipe.
22:15You'll just have it in your recipe list when you get access to it.
22:18You press every button over the recipe.
22:21But it never tells you what to do.
22:23You can collect recipes.
22:25But you can't make them.
22:27Actually that's good.
22:28Because cooking one item at a time to make them sell for better.
22:31Will destroy the pacing of the later games in the series.
22:34And all that boredom isn't really worth making a little extra money.
22:38That you would have made eventually in not that much time.
22:40So there's no hurry.
22:42I kind of find it fun following the guide to get the recipes.
22:46But I don't find it fun when the recipes require ingredients that I don't have.
22:50Because it's not the right season.
22:52It's bad enough that you'll never think to give them a certain item without a guide.
22:57The guide never tells you that you can only get a recipe if you're giving the first gift to an NPC that day.
23:03Which sucks because that person would probably not be the first person you're gifting if you're even trying to get recipes.
23:10So you'd take forever to get the recipe or never get it.
23:14The guide said I would get mushroom rice's recipe from a normal carpenter.
23:18But instead I had to get it from the head carpenter.
23:21At least some of the NPCs are really quick to fully befriend.
23:25Of course you need to look up the glitches wiki to know these exploits.
23:29Just talking to me a ton in one day will max her out.
23:33You can get Jeff to max affection if you tell him Ellie's just your friend and leave and come back to repeat the process.
23:40He only asks if Ellie's at 130 affection.
23:45And it's easy not to know how to find Ellie on Sundays at all.
23:49And you can give the head carpenter multiple gifts a day.
23:53There's no limit on the amount of affection boosts the head carpenter gets from gifts.
23:58Kent's affection always increases when you talk to him holding a wild animal or chicken.
24:03If you repeatedly show Gotts a baby that isn't Karen's, you'll max out his affection in 120 times.
24:09The same applies to Doug.
24:11The sprites on the right in this smaller cave will receive affection for gifts and so his total affections at 21.
24:18Here's another glitch.
24:20If you're in the hot spring when the clock hits 6am and try to sleep, it crashes the game.
24:26If you're holding something when talking to Potpourri to get her photo, the game crashes when the photo's taken.
24:31That's a lie. I can't give a gift to her at all.
24:34I love that Ellie tells you what gifts she likes to get if you talk to her.
24:40Every NPC should do that.
24:42But of course, by the time she started saying this stuff, I'd already looked up what she loves anyways online because I decided to start befriending her in the first place.
24:50I liked Mary when I saw the event where she got a grasshopper off Karen and made a forced socially awkward faux pas by saying it looks like her and offending her.
25:00She was mean to her and took off.
25:03It was frustrating that only then did Mary explain that she meant that its antennae looked like her hair.
25:09That's what she would have said in the first place then.
25:12But at least she's more than just a librarian who likes bugs by being socially awkward too.
25:17Well, it's cute to see them being friends.
25:20It's good that Ann tells you she loves corn at the vegetable festival.
25:24Okay, the stairway literally just lets you walk on the roof. What was the point of that?
25:30And why does my dog appear outside after the carpenters are done something?
25:35I miss Potpourri's dream event.
25:37Apparently, you only have a week after that text shows up to go to the goddess pond and get the cutscene to happen with her.
25:44That's unrealistic.
25:46Nothing should ever be lost forever in a video game.
25:49Like, you can't restore the vineyard if it's past year one fall.
25:54And to restore the vineyard, you need to look up a guide.
25:58Apparently, you have to give Duke the bartender tons of blueberries and only then will he decide to make a specific one.
26:05And you have to have a friend at the harvest sprite so they'll talk about it.
26:09How was I supposed to know any of that?
26:11That's unfair.
26:13I had to start a new game to get Kai married because it somehow requires the vineyard's big tree to be revived.
26:20And somehow, you can only get the bartender to give you the wine for that in the first year.
26:25And again, I somehow saw none of Kai's rival events.
26:28Even though I went to the vineyard every day!
26:32I do love that Kai develops on his backstory.
26:35He says he has a lot of brothers.
26:37I think I like him a bit more than the Friends of Mineral Town one.
26:40There's a bright side to every event being basically the same for the girls.
26:45It shouldn't bother me too much that Cliff randomly told me he was marrying Anne in the morning.
26:50Because I didn't actually miss anything.
26:52But I know why they hate the rivals in Japan now.
26:55Sure, you have to befriend the Bachelor first.
26:59But still, I didn't even see two of the rival heart events.
27:05Well, it's convenient if you actually want a rival to get married.
27:08It's confusing.
27:10The rival events with Anne and Cliff, they just have Anne being mean to him.
27:15Grey's a douche and even befriending him doesn't do much to endear him to you.
27:19Because you can only get a consistent chance to befriend him in the barn or field.
27:24He gives you a dialogue tree.
27:26And he's an ass to you no matter which option you pick.
27:29Rick's not a rival for anybody.
27:31He's going to be sad and alone his whole life.
27:35While Jeff, who keeps referring to Ellie as Little Ellie and says he knew her when she was a little girl.
27:42And is her boss.
27:44The guy who was Karen's father in Friends of Mineral Town.
27:47Is the rival for Ellie.
27:49Well, that's a bit creepy.
27:51They should have had Rick be Ellie's love interest.
27:54Jeff even has facial hair.
27:56Which is usually something that isn't an eligible bachelor thing in these games.
28:01Okay, it's bad enough that Cliff says his wife scolds him every day.
28:05I talked to him in the barn today and he said,
28:08Oh, this?
28:09I had a fight with my wife last night.
28:11Anne is an abusive lover in this game.
28:14Holy shit.
28:16Talk about character assassination.
28:18He should have left town.
28:20I didn't see any of Jeff's hard events either.
28:22It doesn't make sense that the rival events wouldn't happen after they got married.
28:26Because nothing about the rival events ever involves the two of them being more than friends.
28:31The fact that your wife can randomly decide to crate up the eggs.
28:35Is a big problem when you're trying to befriend Grey.
28:38Because you can only befriend him with eggs.
28:41Although usually you won't try to do that.
28:43The festivals are painful because the text scrolls so agonizingly slowly.
28:48Even with speed up.
28:50And yes, the item you're holding does disappear forever when you enter a festival holding it.
28:56Why are you never able to give people gifts in festivals?
28:59At first I was enraged with the flower festival.
29:02Because even though I voted for Mary in the ballot in the square the other day.
29:06Karen was made the flower festival queen.
29:09And I was forced to dance with her.
29:11Sure it makes sense in universe that your vote isn't the only one that counts.
29:16But it's a video game.
29:18So the game picks at random who the flower queen is.
29:22Shouldn't they have known it would make you reset the game until you get the right result?
29:26You get the bottle by buying it from Rick and the flower festival of all things.
29:31That's dumb.
29:33Why can't Rick sell me the bottle all year?
29:36At least you can buy the bottle from multiple festivals.
29:40They shouldn't have a shady guy like the Dorador salesman selling you the powerberry.
29:45Because it makes you suspicious.
29:48At least it's only a thousand G.
29:50It doesn't make any sense that he would only sell this here at the flower festival.
29:55And two, why wouldn't he sell powerberries all the time if he's able to get his hands on them?
30:00And why can't Lillian sell pink cat flower seeds all the time if she can get her hands on it?
30:06It makes her money.
30:08And they shouldn't have the powerberry be restricted to a festival you probably won't go to because you go to bed every time you go to them.
30:14Couldn't the people who made this game have made it possible to go to the festivals at night too?
30:20I had to redo the entire 23rd day, multiple times!
30:25The goddess only dances with the king.
30:28At least I was able to tell Mary the flower outfit looks good on her.
30:32But she says I'm just saying that to be nice.
30:35Her saying she's embarrassed just makes the player feel bad about voting for it because she doesn't depreciate it.
30:41Why does the text scroll automatically when you're watching fireworks?
30:46I just talked to Mary once and the text started scrolling without me getting a chance to see what everyone else said first.
30:53And then the game went to black and my character said today was a good day without allowing me to go home and shift stuff first.
31:00In the vegetable festival, Gourmet says that veggies are a tray bien delicious.
31:06So, very well delicious?
31:10That makes no sense.
31:12And neither does the fact that you can restart the conversation about picky eating by accidentally talking to Stu and Kent again.
31:19It should tell you why you won.
31:22Too bad the reward for the vegetable festival isn't a power berry.
31:27I guess the villagers like me more.
31:29The sea festival is a horrible button masher.
31:33Good luck winning that for the worthless prize at the end.
31:37How's the egg festival?
31:39I assumed it was a festival where you brought one of your eggs to the plaza and won a prize.
31:44I wish you could see the look on my face when I read about this festival.
31:47It was a what the fuck, this is stupid expression.
31:51The villagers have to bring back a certain colored egg that the mayor showed.
31:56You don't just see the eggs in town and immediately know it's the right color.
32:00Which would speed up the pacing of this instead of forcing you to wait through a slow text box every time.
32:06And I lost one of them when I was holding the egg he wanted.
32:09The game's got a timer.
32:12And you have to do this shit to get a power berry.
32:15Look, kinda says about the minigame, what a confusing mess.
32:19But when your minigame is so bad that the people making the dialogue have one of the characters in the game call it a mess,
32:25maybe the programmers should have made the game more fair.
32:28It's unacceptable enough that your character goes to bed automatically after every single festival.
32:34Well, at least you can choose to dance with a girl.
32:37And it's not a minigame that might screw up.
32:40I love that the game designers actually cared enough to make the characters actually dance impressively.
32:45It's not like it's a 3DS game where the characters do nothing but stand there every festival.
32:51After the dancing ended, my character forced me to go to bed when I hadn't watered my goddamn crops yet.
32:59This made me do the entire day all over again.
33:03Why does anybody defend this game?
33:06Why does anybody say this is a great game?
33:09I can't remember any other game in the series that made me redo a day that many times.
33:15I can't believe they screwed up the horse race so bad.
33:19What is this bullshit that participants cannot buy medals for betting?
33:23So what is the point of racing then?
33:26You're supposed to cross A a lot, and you're not allowed to do it too much
33:29because for no reason your horse has a stamina meter.
33:33Why can't I just get my horse to run into carrots and put his stamina back up and give it a boost of speed?
33:39It's just I'm running a straight line to the finish line.
33:42There's no grass to avoid or anything.
33:44It's so lazy.
33:46I always insist to see that there's prizes to win like a new stable for no reason that I should have just been able to buy from the carpenter's shop and a carrot and something else.
33:57I thought I was done with this game.
33:59There's a glitch where you can bet for free by pressing B to say no.
34:03So that's awesome.
34:05I'm not entering my dog though.
34:08Participants can't bet.
34:10Luck-based missions aren't good game design.
34:15Like the other games surrounding it.
34:18I can't talk to the horse anymore now that it's all grown up to raise defection.
34:23Which is ultimately good because the pacing is faster.
34:28But you could have simply raised his affection simply by mounting him in the first place.
34:34So when I decide to care I'll have to remember to use the brush.
34:38It doesn't even seem faster than just walking when you ride it.
34:42So it seems to literally only be there for the horse race.
34:46Either that or it's just slow because it doesn't have enough hearts yet.
34:50In the original game the horse didn't have an affection score.
34:55In the Game Boy Color game the horse didn't move nearly as much as this.
35:00It moves all over my farm so it's barely where I want it.
35:05It could run away from you at any time.
35:08And it makes it harder to ship with it successfully.
35:11Cool the saddlebags are free.
35:14Your horse gets them just by growing up.
35:17Selling animals requires you to go to your farm right away to pick an animal.
35:22So you'll never have time to sell more than one.
35:25Clearly this is stupid compared to the last game.
35:28When you go to sell your animals.
35:31He somehow throws his voice from all the way at the entrance of your farm to tell you the price.
35:37It seems that selling animals lowers the affection of the other animals.
35:42Isn't it primitive that each animal will only eat from one feeding stall?
35:48Doug goes home if he gets too late.
35:51So you actually have a time limit to sell your animals or get the animal.
35:56No wonder he says no no no we're closing up shop.
36:00It's to decrease your chances of this happening to you.
36:04Compared to the previous game having the evaluation on year 3 spring 30th is pretty merciful.
36:11It's too late actually.
36:13Because by that point you already bought everything.
36:17So you would have sold all your animals by that point.
36:20They really didn't play test how late they would have the evaluation.
36:24It's idea was punishing bad players.
36:27But you're not bad for playing like that by that point.
36:31You're being smart by not wasting time.
36:34If I hadn't looked up a guide.
36:37I never would have known that the evaluation was going to happen.
36:41Considering that I went past the first year without it happening.
36:45It's intimidating and weird when your character's father shows up.
36:49It was really satisfying and heartwarming seeing all the villagers compliment me.
36:54So in summary.
36:56This game is worse than the previous ones in literally every way.
37:00With the only advantage over the previous game being that you can marry somebody.
37:05And the process of getting married is always boring and repetitive.
37:09I actually like playing the game most of the time.
37:12But I had a way better experience on my second playthrough.
37:15And that's mainly because I used the GameShark code to turn off the fatigue system.
37:19It really feels like a broken game when you're constantly forced to waste an entire day in bed.
37:25I'm usually okay with the game.
37:28Though the missed button inputs are a constant annoyance.
37:32The only things I outright despise about the game are the festivals and the stupid fatigue system.
37:39This might be the worst classic Harvest Moon game ever made.
37:43It does literally every gameplay style a little bit worse than the previous games.
37:48There's no sprinkler, so watering takes longer.
37:52And among other things, it's easy to push cows out of the barn by accident.
37:57I know this is some people's nostalgic fan favorite.
38:01Because they played it as kids before all the other games that vastly improved on its foundation.
38:05But knowing that it's popular makes the problems of the game even more annoying for me.
38:10It has to be because of nostalgia that people love this game.
38:14There's other games you can play where you can get married.
38:18So you can pass on this one.
38:20It aged really poorly, lacking tons of necessary anti-frustration features and basic game mechanics.
38:28Thanks.
38:29Thanks.
