00:00If you're holding an item and your bag is full, which happened to me because I did mining,
00:05you can't just press the button that would open the toolbox and put it in it.
00:10You'll throw it if you do that.
00:14The lack of a shipping bin broke this game.
00:18The remake came out after Magical Melody, which didn't have this problem.
00:23I hate that the game forced you to read mail related to a festival in the morning,
00:27even on the second year.
00:31It felt a lot more natural when you had someone tell you about the festival.
00:35Sure, it still made no sense.
00:38Either way, why did they waste time doing that more than once?
00:42But this way it's even more forced.
00:44You're in control of your character,
00:47so it's annoying that the controls are ripped away from you to have the character forcibly read the mail
00:52to pad out the game a little.
00:55Save the Homeland takes after Back to Nature
00:57because you don't need grass for your chickens to eat outside.
01:03Why is there a worthless cutscene with annoying card-carrying villains after race day?
01:09As it turns out, it's only the remake that shoves these cutscenes on you with Alice and the like.
01:16In City of the Homeland, Funland Corporation was just a faceless, voiceless threat.
01:22Thankfully for me, most of the mecha events can be opted out of.
01:27The sickle uses up way too much stamina.
01:30You can water your whole field, but you can't get rid of your crops in one day for free
01:35without abusing the mining tutorial cheat, or giving an offering.
01:40Even that wasn't enough.
01:43On the first day of summer,
01:45I was told I wasn't allowed to do any foraging because it was Earth Day.
01:48Are you kidding me?
01:51I'm not even allowed to get rid of the dead plants on my farm?
01:54What asshole thought this was acceptable?
01:57No wonder the town went into debt with all the money this lost it every year.
02:01So I reloaded and decided to indeed spend the money on water to get rid of my crops before the next day.
02:08At least it gave me a break from foraging.
02:11But they really should have picked a different day.
02:14Because day one's when you want to plant everything.
02:18As soon as you adopt the dog,
02:19you have to watch TV every day to see if there's going to be rain tomorrow
02:22that you'll have to put the dog inside for, according to a guide.
02:27Having to watch TV every day means I can't not address anymore
02:30that it takes longer to watch TV in this game.
02:33Because your character can't just turn the TV on and then sit down.
02:38He sits down and then you get to choose a channel.
02:41At first I was glad it was being realistic because he sat in front of it.
02:45But it got grating how padded out this is.
02:49I didn't want to mention it at first because it's only a few extra seconds or so.
02:53And it makes it especially blaring the design flaw of the dog bowl being outside.
02:59So it's a good thing he only loses affection after he's there for an hour.
03:04But you're not going to know that.
03:06And you're never going to know that he can get cabin fever either.
03:10Which he'll get if you keep him indoors.
03:13If you don't take your chicken outside for five days, she gets sick.
03:19Not that the game ever tells you this, so it's blatantly unfair.
03:21Apparently, failing to take your chicken all the way outside from ten to three results in a friendship point drop of one per hour.
03:32It turns out even if you do let the animals out to graze all day long, they still end up getting sick.
03:38I've seen two forms by this point completely filled with people complaining about the chickens.
03:43So the only reason I capped chickens after that was to sell them.
03:49Why isn't there a code so that your animals never get sick?
03:52There's no excuse for springing this on you when other games didn't.
03:57You'd think a remake would have had medium and large eggs added to it.
04:02But it's a good thing you can sell boiled eggs for double the price.
04:08That's even better than spa boiled eggs.
04:11This is the first game where you don't even have to have a chicken to get eggs.
04:15You can just buy them from the grocery store.
04:18And you don't even have to have a cow to get milk.
04:22You can just buy it.
04:23And that's pretty awesome.
04:27So ranching is officially pointless.
04:30So all ranching does is make it take longer to beat the game because time doesn't pass indoors.
04:36And sure, they're outdoors when they're grazing.
04:38But in this game, every season has an equal amount of sunny days and rainy days.
04:45So they're going to be indoors a lot.
04:47It's a little late to do that now.
04:50It's creative. I appreciate it for how unique it is.
04:53But there's no mystic berry in this game.
04:56There's no way you can throw cucumbers into a lake so that you don't lose more stamina from working in the rain.
05:05I just read on the IGN guide for this game.
05:07Then the remake, crop growth does not vary according to the amount of sunny days.
05:14So save the homeland was like Sunshine Islands being totally unfair because you've got no control over when it's sunny.
05:21It's nice of Louis to give me a seed for free a few times.
05:28He thinks these are hybrid crops, but no.
05:31This would have been even nicer if my field wasn't completely full of seeds every time I got one of these.
05:37I love that you upgrade tools instantly.
05:43But the message, you don't have any, confused me for a few minutes into thinking I couldn't upgrade it.
05:49Even though I had the ores, which can be found on the first floor.
05:54It's just that they're too rare to compensate for that.
05:57So the game's trying to pad itself out by forcing you to go padding for a million years to find it while time never progresses.
06:05Potentially, anyway.
06:06I upgraded my axe, the star of the summer, because even the super axe was unbearable.
06:12You're not allowed to cut lumber when the weather is bad.
06:16You can get sick in this game.
06:18So apparently that does you a favor by preventing you from getting yourself sick.
06:23But it feels bittersweet because it could have just not had sickness in the game.
06:28It doesn't matter that I got the best axe.
06:32Upgrading the axe is a mistake.
06:34You'd think you'd be able to notice the difference.
06:38The total upgrade system in this game is worthless.
06:42So it's really only there to pad out how long it takes to buy everything.
06:46Usually Gwen won't let you simply buy something from the carpenter the first time you talk to her.
06:52It turns out I have to be facing a specific way to get the menu to go up.
06:57That specific way is facing the order paper that's a model in every shop.
07:01But the game's extremely picky about where you can face it to have it work this time.
07:06I can't face it from the south, for example.
07:09I've always been disappointed that she didn't have her cool jean jacket from Magical Melody.
07:13She's pretty, but she looks like a flirtatious person when she's actually not.
07:19None of the bachelorettes in this game outright appeal to me.
07:24Practically all of them look great.
07:27But as people, they're nice.
07:30But none of them are amazing.
07:33I was pleasantly surprised that the lumber requirements are a tenth this big in this game.
07:37But that's just common sense to program because of how little lumber you can get.
07:43So I was like, oh cool, of course they did that.
07:47Getting excited over that is like getting excited that the game doesn't crash every two minutes.
07:52They're doing it to compensate for it being broken.
07:54And some more fake longevity is that you have to have something built first before you can expand your house.
08:02Whether it's a coop, barn, or doghouse.
08:06Though it's still a step up from Back to Nature because there isn't always just one option available at a time.
08:12That's a weak compliment because it's still padding off the game substantially.
08:17The way to make a game like this longer is to make a lot more cheap things to buy.
08:22That would feel natural.
08:24Doing the part-time job for Bob and having to feed the animals only proves the game's inferiority again.
08:30Because this was faster in the previous games.
08:34Because you could use a button to instantly get something out of your bank.
08:38In this game you have to go into the menu for the fodder every time.
08:42It's also bad programming that I can't talk to the animals unless I'm in front of their heads.
08:49Because a lot of times they're in front of a fence.
08:52So good luck doing that without auto-jumping.
08:55And when you go near a fence, it's very likely that you'll auto-jump.
09:00The instant you go to it.
09:03On the bright side, it doesn't let you re-brush an animal.
09:07So that saves you some time.
09:09It's going to be a long time before they do this again.
09:14Like how not being able to water something again by accident isn't carried over to the next game.
09:21I couldn't find any proof there were typhoons or blizzards in this game.
09:25Because I put in CTRL-F on two guides and got nothing.
09:29And after I beat the game, I never experienced them.
09:32As if doing a few common-sense improvements makes up for the absolute moon logic bad decisions in this game.
09:41For example, I can't cut down Lumber too many times in a short time span or the carpenter refuses to let me do it.
09:47It's frustrating that I spewed out some bullshit that me cutting down one small tree in a field full of dead ones would somehow be bad for the ecosystem.
09:58When a Lumberjack's job is to cut down trees.
10:02Are you fucking kidding me?
10:05That's what I said when I saw this text box.
10:07I walked all the way here this early for nothing.
10:12It's such a blatantly transparent example of padding.
10:17Along with the fact that apparently there's things you can only have built at the carpenter's shop in year three.
10:23Like the greenhouse.
10:25So it might as well not even be in the game.
10:28The carpenter's house is so glitched up.
10:31What do you mean I don't have enough materials?
10:33I went all the way back to my farm and saw that I do.
10:38I have to have the lumber in my bag for it to count.
10:42The same thing is the case with the tool upgrading.
10:46At least this game has a good sense to not have a lumber shed as an option.
10:51Making it take longer to beat the game.
10:54Oh, at least when he goes to build something it's built the next morning.
10:58But every game in the series started with a doghouse.
11:01Why do I have to have one built to avoid cabin fever in my pet all of a sudden?
11:07A day later he lets me cut lumber again.
11:11What sense did he make then?
11:14How is waiting one day going to make it so that cutting a small tree does not damage the ecosystem?
11:21Horses can get sick again.
11:23That's how lame the game is.
11:27What?
11:28Why does her wish grantee have a chance of failing?
11:32That's unacceptable.
11:34Because it's already unacceptable that there's no hot spring.
11:37So the game has no right to make this random.
11:41Isn't this a goddess?
11:43She did this even when I reloaded and tried it again.
11:46She can just constantly fail a ridiculous amount of times in a row.
11:52It's hard to believe it's a really 50-50 chance at that point.
11:56The only way it could fail every single time I tried that day is if the chance of wish granting working is determined the day you wake up.
12:04At one point I had to try four times.
12:06How am I supposed to have a positive perspective and be lenient towards the game when it has no shipping bin?
12:14This wish thing is a big deal because it's the only way it can cut more than one tree in the forest.
12:20Without wasting money on food of course.
12:23But making it take longer to be done with the game by buying food is counterproductive.
12:28According to the guide, it seems to imply that as long as you go to sleep with low stamina, you always have a chance of this happening.
12:51Then why did it take over a month for this to happen?
12:55That's a terrible reason to get sick.
12:58Do they not realize what every Harvest Moon player is going to have as an experience?
13:04You're always going to go to sleep with low stamina.
13:08How can they expect that of you when there's no hot spring?
13:12Heavy rain can destroy a few of your crumbs.
13:15Even in the spring, when you have no control over that.
13:19When it happened in the spring, I was like, well at least now I have an excuse to plant Lewis's seeds.
13:25It's convenient that you can buy lumber with medals you got from getting lucky at the horse race.
13:31But how was I supposed to know that?
13:33Why would I think the game would be that nice when the previous game with horse bedding didn't have lumber as an option?
13:40Why does it even bother making getting lumber so bad then?
13:45You can only get lumber once every three days, even though you're surrounded by other trees any time you quit.
13:51Oh, it's cool that as soon as you first get the kitchen, you start out with a pot and frying pan.
13:59It doesn't make up for the obnoxious prices of the year three carpenter stuff though.
14:05Oh boy, I get a little head start.
14:07The fact that the only way to get gold animal products is to grow alfalfa to feed the animals is terrible because you're going to have all of your field occupied with cash crops.
14:20Why would you want to make it take a lot longer to buy everything in the game because you always have some of it stuffed with alfalfa?
14:29Usually you don't have to sacrifice profits to get the best animal products.
14:32You have to buy new versions of your kitchen utensils to cook with two ingredients at once.
14:42When I first found this out, I stared at the screen and went,
14:46Wait, what?
14:48I'm lucky I even discovered this on my own because I'd never expect kitchen utensils to get sold at the tool shop.
14:55And the game never told me it had anything new for sale.
14:57So I only discovered that because I was hoping there were more tool upgrades.
15:04You know what would be better?
15:06Furniture.
15:07What do you mean I have to go all the way to the mine to get silver ore for this?
15:12Why not have to upgrade the frying pan and pot to be the way they should have been in the first place?
15:18I can change clothes?
15:21Hmm.
15:21That's nice.
15:23I should have been told about this because I could have easily not known about it.
15:26I was just trying to open the cabinet, but apparently it was decoration.
15:32Where's my shelf?
15:33His pants are a little pinkish.
15:36I prefer the more nostalgic design.
15:38Apparently if you suck up to Gina enough, you get a different outfit.
15:43I really hate that you can't just buy it.
15:46Why do you have to look up a guy to get it?
15:48I can't understand why my dog keeps going down affection.
15:53I read what makes it happen, and I haven't done any of that.
15:57It's disheartening.
15:59I had to look it up and find out that there's more than four areas the power berries can get dug up.
16:06And that's why I didn't find any in the place with a flower shop.
16:09And only then did I start finding power berries.
16:13At that point it only took a few days to find them all.
16:16But it took until late in the second year for me to care enough to do that.
16:22Because failing in the first area was so discouraging.
16:26I figured I needed more hearts.
16:28It's not very often that only five hearts is good enough.
16:34It's the same amount of affection points.
16:37I still prefer that, because it looks nicer.
16:39I read that you can find them with much less hearts than that.
16:44But the game's shipping system is so bad that I'd have to look up a guide to figure out where to sell my crops.
16:49So I didn't feel like looking up a guide again to get all the power berries.
16:54After going through all the effort of sorting every crop in the game.
16:58And using which ones sell for the highest price.
17:02As wanted items.
17:04As a way to figure out which ones to buy.
17:06It's a good thing milk is twice as effective at raising the dog's affection.
17:12As only a guide would tell me.
17:15They think he's a cat for some reason.
17:18It makes me doubly thankful that just doing the part-time work for Bob gets me milk.
17:23I immediately knew how ridiculously unrealistic it was.
17:27You're sacrificing your entire day's profit on me just because of this.
17:31The work falsely advertises how good ranching is.
17:36When it only seems to be fine because the animals aren't all in the barn.
17:43Ugh.
17:43Why is there a story event demanding a bunch of oars from me?
17:47I didn't even try to get that to happen.
17:50And you can't give them to him after Winter 30th for no reason.
17:55I would have given them all time successfully.
17:58It was just too many to memorize.
18:01I just don't like having to match A through cutscenes I didn't actively want to activate so many times just because I left my house.
18:09And it happens a ridiculous amount of times in this game.
18:12And maybe I'd have a chance of finding this interesting as I did in the 8-bit games.
18:16If it didn't drag on for way too many text boxes.
18:21They wouldn't suck if there were only 3 text boxes.
18:26It's convenient that you have to give it to him all at once.
18:29The church it's in doesn't have a confessional system.
18:33So as if it being as generic looking as possible isn't bad enough.
18:38It's useless too.
18:40I'm not disappointed.
18:42I expected that.
18:43At least this way I don't have to get yelled at anymore.
18:47If it reaches 5am.
18:49You get warped back to your house and it skips to the next day.
18:54I was like.
18:55Hey.
18:56Why do that?
18:58I had to reload and redo some progress.
19:02So if you want to harvest and replant everything.
19:04You don't have time to do any part-time work.
19:08Just entering the item shop had Louis ask for some stuff for me.
19:12Like with the other time.
19:14The odds wouldn't be so bad if you were mining.
19:17He has a lot of nerve asking for lumber in a game like this.
19:21Good thing he only takes one lumber so it doesn't matter.
19:25Why couldn't the game just be happy with.
19:27You have to be a good farmer to save the town.
19:30I just hate being told that the people who want to destroy the town are plotting against me.
19:34Because I get worried that something's going to happen to my crops.
19:37Because I don't want to do these side quests.
19:40They're surprisingly ineffective.
19:43Ooh.
19:43It rains during the winter.
19:45Not having to water my crops makes me happy enough that I do feel like complimenting that the name of an item shows up on its own.
19:51If you have a course over it long enough.
19:54I didn't feel like complimenting it before.
19:57Because it really should have shown up instantly.
19:59And it's still not good enough.
20:01Because you don't see the full description of the item.
20:04Why did I have to walk through the area with the cafe during the day.
20:07A long time after getting what Parsley wanted for him to acknowledge that I got it.
20:13I might have called him Basil before.
20:15I could never take it seriously that they blatantly ripped off Herb.
20:19And tried to cover it up by calling him something else.
20:22Why did they change his name?
20:25My point is the day I got that lumber I thought I could just talk to him right away and give it to him.
20:30The fact that it's handled like this is immersion breaking.
20:33Which defeats the point of having the game be story obsessed.
20:37It's so nice that I got the event with Parsley when all I did was talk to him.
20:42And I didn't get to talk to him every day.
20:45It's nice that cows you buy can produce milk faster than you think.
20:50While a bot cow back to nature takes 14 days to grow up.
20:54It takes 10 days to save the homeland.
20:57And only a week in its remake.
21:00Wait what?
21:01The size of the milk you get depends on the cow's mood.
21:04So she can give you large milk right away.
21:07Then gold milk the day after adulthood.
21:11At that point why not right away?
21:15Gold milk is achieved so easily because there's no festivals to wait through.
21:20I wish the whole series did this.
21:22Just you know.
21:24Have you be able to buy the alfalfa?
21:27Even the cows can have cabin fever.
21:30The game never warns you that if you don't take them outside from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. when there's good weather.
21:36They lose one friendship point per hour.
21:39To be fair the fact that you start with a full pasture does encourage you to put them out to graze right away.
21:45The game also brought back that happy state mechanic from 64.
21:49Where everything counts for more friendship points if the cow's in a good mood that's only a result of grazing.
21:56Luckily it turns out you don't actually need to waste space in your tiny field with mineral alfalfa spurts.
22:01Because there's always a chance of you getting it from any cow with 220 affection points.
22:07Though it would suck to have to reload until you got it.
22:10And only playing it on an emulator would make it possible to do that with more than one cow.
22:15So doing that for every cow wouldn't be getting the real experience.
22:19It can't be stressed enough how lame it is that the farmland's too small.
22:23Because it'd be a lot less work to get to harvest all day than to have to walk everywhere in town every single day for foraging.
22:30It's good that all I have to do to get every animal out to graze is use the bell outside once.
22:36And it only takes 3 seconds.
22:38How are you supposed to know that the only way to make cheese in this game is by boiling milk?
22:45It's nice that you don't have to buy a cheese maker.
22:49I should have googled the easiest way to make money sooner.
22:53If you have almost 50,000 G, you can afford to buy 99 cheeses and sell them as wanted items to the pub at night.
23:01And you don't even need to buy 99 of them.
23:05That's awesome.
23:06You can only do it in the spring and winter though.
23:10Apparently nobody wants cheese in other seasons.
23:13This trick is so useful, you don't even need to do any foraging anymore.
23:19So what I hate about it is that there's no way to make it night really quickly.
23:23Why couldn't cheese be a wanted item in a different store instead of one that's only open at night?
23:28You'd think it would be a wanted item at the grocery store.
23:33It really makes me hate that apparently the pub and cafe have different wanted items, even though they're the same building by the same owner.
23:42It took me until the second year to figure that out because I thought it was more intuitive that it was changing its wanted item list because of the passage of time through the month.
23:50Since every store changes their list every season, why do I have to win the stupid horse races to get the makers of this game?
23:59The horse races suck.
24:01They're always painful extended bun mashers.
24:04At least this one has the variety of having items to restore stamina and boost your speed.
24:10But I don't see them in the race when I watch it.
24:13And I don't see how I'm supposed to buy them.
24:15The horse race would be fun if you just ran over carrots and avoided grass.
24:21It would still be a little stressful, but at least it'd be visually interesting and actually interactive.
24:29Why can I only buy medals at 2 through 4 p.m.?
24:33Why do I have to use the triangle button to buy medals instead of simply pressing the talk button and then down to get to the number I want?
24:40I made enough money that I didn't need to earn money anymore by the start of the second fall.
24:45That's how padded out the game is.
24:48Yeah, I know the last dog cart looks weird.
24:50For some reason it's just constantly flickering and I don't know why.
24:54I wanted to actually max out his affection, so it's not like this because of a code.
24:59The tedious part about maxing out his affection was having to whistle every day.
25:03I'd rather just not have that raise affection and have putting him down raise it twice as much.
25:12Anyways, now that I didn't have to earn money anymore, I had no excuse not to get married and get the recipe list done.
25:17The golden potato is one of the ingredients.
25:21The only way you can get golden potato seeds is to make Dian and Tim like you enough before enough time passes in the game's story that you missed your chance.
25:32You'd think it'd be tied to Lila because she's a seed store owner.
25:36This is the first time that it could be impossible to complete the recipe list because you made one of the recipes lost forever because you didn't romance the right person.
25:46Who would think they have to do this to get all of the recipes?
25:49Getting 100% completion would just be tedious because getting all the good endings in the game absolutely requires a guide.
25:58And that's all there is to say about that process.
26:01It's the same thing you have to say about the events in 64 and back to nature.
26:05How are you supposed to know you have to do that to get the event?
26:09I hate that 100% completion requires you to do a bunch of fishing successfully.
26:14So good luck if you want to marry Alice for some reason.
26:17You have to complete the mech events for her to stay.
26:21Sure she's one of the most attractive characters in the game, I noticed that immediately, but she's unbearable immediately.
26:28I thought discovering the tree Parsley cared about would be something to be proud of.
26:32But it turns out this doesn't even matter, I still had to pay 50,000 G because I didn't waste my money making time doing two other endings.
26:41You'd never think that you have to get three nature preserve endings to save the town.
26:47The way the characters talk made it look like just one of them would be good enough.
26:52Why would the town still be destroyed if you succeeded in making it environmentally protected in any area, or gave it a totally unique tourist attraction?
27:00This has to be the most tedious game to 100%, because you'd have to start multiple save files just to get all of the 8 events.
27:10And if you read the guide, they taunt you because it turns out there's permanent rewards for completing an 8 event sequence, some more valuable than others.
27:18I just don't see how it's worth it to go through all that effort when there's nothing to say about it.
27:23Who cares if you raise the price of things you can sell, when you're going to have all the money you need by at least the end of the second fall?
27:32What would I have to say after getting all the events done?
27:35Just to get what amounts to meaningless breaking rights rewards?
27:39At that point, I wish I could just buy them.
27:42Sure it's annoying to have to constantly stop playing to look at the guide.
27:46The actual act of activating events isn't challenging.
27:50All these rewards you for is your skill to look at the guide.
27:54That's the same things I'd have to say if I got all the events that happened in 64, back to nature.
27:59In Harvest Moon 3, I could also complain that it could be impossible to do an event if you had too much lumber,
28:05and point out that the cabinet from one of them was useless.
28:09I read all the recipe lists.
28:11The only other thing I have to talk about is the same thing I already complained about with Magical Melody.
28:14Why the fuck are there different recipes for specific fish that's such blatant padding?
28:21There's nothing to say about the mecha events because they involve the same gameplay I was already doing.
28:27Harvesting, using a hammer on something, and fishing.
28:31And the mecha events are optional.
28:34If I did record all of them, I'd have nothing to say.
28:37All I'd be doing is summarizing them, and anyone can do that.
28:40I love that there's a new game plot to where your money, house expansions, the items in your bag, and your animals carry over.
28:50And all you need to do to get it is save the town.
28:54I won't be doing it, but you can marry the goddess.
28:56It's cool that she lives with you afterwards.
29:01But it rips you off, and that she stops being a goddess because of it for no logical reason.
29:06Which sort of misses the appeal of her character in marrying her.
29:10I thought she was the only god in this game's lore at this point, so she makes the rules.
29:15And it's the most powerful deity.
29:17So why don't you follow a stupid rule that punishes herself for marrying a mortal?
29:22Who came up with that rule?
29:23If she didn't come up with the rule, the harvest sprites would have.
29:28The sprinkler alone is worth three seasons worth of crop and foraging money.
29:32That's insane.
29:34How could they force you to spend lumber on making the sprinkler when that was never needed before?
29:39And I would picture a sprinkler to be made of metal.
29:43The mishandling of the sprinkler is bad enough that I don't care that I got brought back.
29:48You know what's sad when an 8-bit game is you beat?
29:51Why can't you just get it in the first spring if you work hard enough, like in Harvest Moon 3?
29:57Everything unique about Save the Homeland is bad game design.
30:01There's no hot spring, so there's no way to restore stamina for free without sacrificing profit.
30:07You can never have your tools affect more than one square.
30:11The chickens get sick for no reason.
30:13You don't have to pay a 50,000-g paywall as a punishment for not looking up a guide a bunch of times.
30:20You can't have kids for no reason.
30:23Even though you can get married.
30:25And the first red flag is that you have to go all over town just to ship your items in separate stores to make an actual profit off your crops.
30:33And it's too hard to memorize the best places to sell everything.
30:38So I'd end up keeping stuff in my bag for the day because the other stores were closed.
30:43I couldn't take the game seriously anymore after that.
30:46How could the game have such a sloppy design?
30:49And why did the remake keep all of this?
30:52Why would anyone like all of this?
30:54This just saved the homeland with some bells and whistles added to try to distract you from the fact that it didn't fix the gameplay problems.
31:04How do they think people wouldn't prefer it back to nature?
31:07I can't believe I saw two different people claim it fixes some major problems with the game.
31:13No, it doesn't.
31:15Mining takes forever.
31:17That's another thing unique about the game.
31:20Your character acts like the hammer is the heaviest thing in the world.
31:23One of the bells and whistles it added is having to get lumber.
31:28Because the original game was merciful in not having lumbering.
31:32But lumbering sucks because you can only cut lumber once every three days.
31:36And you have to ask permission from his majesty on the right non-festival days at the right time just to do that.
31:43And if you go lumbering too often, you don't get as much lumber from it.
31:47Sure, it sucks that you couldn't get married in the original game.
31:50But at least it saved you the trouble of having to befriend somebody.
31:54At the time Save the Homeland came out, it was easily the worst game in the series.
31:59It's really got no excuse for not having marriage in it as a 3D game.
32:04But that's the least of its problems.
32:07Most of the tools use up too much stamina.
32:10And nearly every gameplay style sucks.
32:14The hitboxing in the coop is terrible.
32:17Why doesn't the remake fix all of this?
32:20So I don't understand why it was said to have rescued it from the scrappy heap.
32:24I hate the level design in this game.
32:27Because it's very segmented and you can only escape the areas through pathways.
32:31But since it's a 3D game, the camera's constantly changing.
32:35So even two seasons in, I was constantly going to the wrong pathway.
32:39And what does the remake do about this?
32:42It makes the world map even bigger.
32:44With Wonderful Life, the level design's very open and you can memorize it easily.
32:48Because you can see almost all of it from nearly everywhere at all times.
32:51The problem was there was nothing to do for long stretches because of that.
32:55And so I was bored.
32:56But I take boredom over frustration from constantly taking the wrong path.
33:00Because every pathway looks the same.
33:02And god forbid I wasn't looking at the minimap for one second.
33:06Unlike Wonderful Life, this is a decent game to play.
33:10I'm only slightly bored with it most of the time.
33:13It just annoys me a lot of times.
33:14Because I know it can be a lot better and it isn't with nothing to gain from it.
33:18But at the time Save the Homeland came out, it was ahead of its time by having your items stacked in your bank.
33:25And with the way shipping was handled, to be fair, it would have taken forever to have to put everything in a basket or bin one at a time.
33:32It didn't matter because everyone was pissed that you couldn't get married.
33:36And the game could have still had a shipping bin unless you put all the stacked item type in it at once.
33:42I'm sure farmers put stuff they had for sale in boxes in real life.
33:48And since when do stores let you sell stuff to them from out of your backpack?
33:52So it's not doing it to be realistic.
33:55And I take being bored at putting something in a basket one at a time for a split second any day over being bored for even longer or having to do even more going to the sell menu.
34:05I don't see how this game was rescued from the Scrappy Heat because it's got all the same major problems and only the minor benefits that you can make a bit more money.
34:15And you can get married after three years.
34:20So what's the point of making money fast through that?
34:23The only way to be considered a good Harvest Moon game is that its defenders are too over the moon without allowing marriage so they forgot to think about anything else.
34:31Like the gameplay, you know, the important part of the game.
34:36For the most part it's the same experience as last time when it could have easily not been.
34:41Why should I care that I can get married at that point when it's supposed to be standard?
34:46That's like saying this Sonic game is good because it can be fast.
34:50The only major good things about this game are that there's no typhoons or blizzards and it can rain on your crops in the winter.
34:57Which I can grow, so that's nice.
34:59But that was also the case in the Apec games which are much better than this.
35:04I didn't have to deal with slower animations.
35:07I didn't have to deal with watering being so slow that I felt like fast forwarding every time I watered something.
35:14I didn't have to deal with.
35:15But then.
35:15So, go on.
35:15Boom.
35:18Go to the top.
35:20Go on.
35:20Go home.
35:23Go to the next one.
35:24And you can see the next one.
35:25Go!
35:25Go to the next one.
35:26Go on.
35:27Go to the door.
35:28Go on.
35:28Go on.
35:29Go on.
35:30Go.
35:31Go G during your book…
35:33JEK.
35:34Go.
35:34Hope itjs tomorrow.
35:35Go.
35:36Go.
35:36Go.
35:36Go home.
35:38Way to go.
35:39皆 God.
35:40Go.
35:40God.
35:41Go to plan.
35:42Game.
