Story of Seasons Review

So I decided, since I reviewed Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, now's a good time to start reviewing the Story of Seasons games. It would be hard to do a top however many when there are only 5 games so far and when it's hard to decide which I like more at this point. I may do a top however many later, after I've had time to sort out my thoughts a bit more. For now, here's a review of the first Story of Seasons game

Story of Seasons is a pretty good one. It's got some stuff I like and some stuff I'm more or less nuetral on. One of the things that's clearest is it's connection to Harvest Moon as well as it's expansion of the lore of both the Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons games. See, as you start, you'll find Witchie, a witch building a house on a lake. It's there you'll later meet Dessie, this game's Harvest Goddess in training. And for those who might be wondering (don't know if anyone is or not) I'm pretty convinced Witchie is actually Witchkins from Sunshine Islands. You know, the frog lover cousin of Witch Princess? Yeah, her. Anyway, Witchie and Dessie actually become pretty good friends.

Your character takes over half a farm next to an elderly lady who will teach you the ropes. You'll learn about selling via your cart, rather than your shipping box, you'll learn about renting fields. So the ony fields you really need are the mushroom/honey field and the rice paddies. Every thing else, while nice, is just extra space. See, with enough room to dedicate to the farm, you can grow anything on the farm. Trees, flowers, tea bushes, root crops, spices, etc. And generally those rentals have more space than needed. But unlike later games, you'll never get the ability to get rice paddies for your farm or make mushroom logs or bee hutches. So you need those if at all possible. The way you get them, except the first one which is root crops, is to try to get them from others. If you do this right, you'll actually be able to completely take over the rentals and not let anyone else use it. Basically if you renew your rent before it expires (or the day it expires, rather) instead of waiting a day or two after it expires, you'll never be challenged. It's just yours. Honestly, the areas have more space than you'll actually need, as there's like 4 spice crops (I think) and the tree fields are the most useful as it has plenty of space for all the trees. If you manage to get challenged for a field you own and lose, you will have to get all your crops out for whoever won it off you. Go for whatever challenge you think you can manage best. Some have to do with the number of collected items (that aren't the same), others with the amount of money you make in a certain amount of time.

You can also swim for some resources, such as fish, glass, some ores, etc. Eventually, you'll be able to get to a natural area where there's a place to get other kinds of ores you'll need.

I'm mixed about the rental system. It makes sense where room for crops and such is a limited resource, but some of the challenges are impossible, and they get harder the more people are involved. It's better to just renew your lease the day it ends and avoid any challenges once the field has expired (if it expires on a festival day, you have the next day to renew instead, as the place where you can rent the fields is not open on a festival)

I actually find most of the characters interesting, and the marriage candidates are neat. Also, you have twins, one girl and one boy, with your chosen spouse. But eventually the game got a bit glitchy. I guess it didn't like that I'd married, had a kid, and had all the fields in my command.

All in all, a pretty solid start from the creators of Harvest Moon. Not the best of their games by far, but a pretty solid 3/5, I think. Not perfect, not even great, but pretty good.

(Headcanon) Harvest Goddess and harvest king had Oracle. Harvest Goddess left harvest king because she didn't Like him anymore. Then Harvest Goddess and Kappa had Leia. Harvest Goddess and Witch Princess fell in love, and Harvest Goddess got pregnant (idk how lol) Harvest Goddess broke up with Witch Princess and gave their Child to Witch Princess sister, and told her that she has to lie to Witch Princess that she is the childs aunt. The child is Witchkins, and Witch Princess still doesn't know.

🐬 - How many other fandoms are you in? Do you rp in them too?

I think the only fandom I considered myself a part of was the Harvest Moon/Rune Factory fandom, and I used to RP in it on the Harvest Moon Masterlist as the protagonist of A Wonderful Life, Jamie, and I briefly played Witchkins/Witchie. 

When my friends found out where I moved to RPing, their first reaction was, “Oh my God,” when they realized I still was just playing a farmer, but in Dark Souls.
