    You aren't the only one, because of his antics made him one of my favorite characters in the orignal. But I guess they thought he was too negative? But they changed his personality too, and his trademark Moi, so it doesn't even feel like the same character. Imo the biggest mistake this remake made of what I've played so far. Outside of that though its pretty great. Only other complaint I can think of is removing some of the orignal records, but I get its to tie it into the newer games

    I thought it was just me but after reading some of the comments I realized I'm not alone when it comes to preferring the original's art direction and graphics. The original feels gloomy, warm, and cozy, akin to the feeling of a cozy rainy day in real life. The overall atmosphere and feeling of the original felt so much more calm, muted, quiet, home-y, and not overly bright like this remake kind of seems like. Other than that, I think the game is lovely! The original was a great portion of my childhood.

    I don't only because one of my favorite parts about that game was the diversity of all the rival kids and filling up the school, it was so satisfying. It felt like the town was really evolving. But since they're no longer doing rival marriages that's a huge chunk of the game just... Gone. Really takes away the rewarding incentive to talk to anyone besides your partner and their family

The breeding process for dairy farming was a huge part of what I loved in the original so it's a downgrade for me to see that removed. And finally I don't like the removal of animal sickness and death! It kinda lessens the whole message behind the game of life/time marching on and ending!

    Playing it right now I definitely prefer the look of the original. The original had this "lived in" earthy tone to it that I just adored whereas the remake feels way to bright and cheerful. I also feel some of the character redesigns are a lot less charming than their original counterparts and hate how they've made livestock immortal. It's my understanding immortal livestock has been a thing for the past few games already but I really dislike it as it takes away the consequences of being neglectful in the care of your animals. That said, I'm still very much enjoying the remake as it's been very nostalgic revisiting these characters from nearly 20 years ago and the QoL improvements are definitely most welcome.

    This makes me all the more excited to relive such a precious piece of my childhood. It's clear that they took so much care when bringing this game back and amplifying its features for a modern audience without eradicating the charm entirely. Thank you for walking through all of this with us! I'd definitely be interested in seeing what suffered from the remaking process, though, too.

    That chicken bell is a Game Changer. Getting the chicken yard was still nearly pointless ‘cause it still kept the chickens too far away!! If you have a full coop, the rain shower might be over by the time you can drag all the chickens back inside, whoopsie daisy now there’s a risk of them getting sick, and to be stuck turning RIGHT back around and letting them out and HOPING IT DOESN’T RAIN AGAIN. It was NOT that risky to let my barn animals graze. I will never understand why they didn’t just put the Unusable Shed/Chicken Yard right next to the coop or…just make Upgrade The Coop to have a chickenyard attached to it!!!

    I was really excited for this but now I'm having second thoughts with all the changes they made to the core mechanics. Feels like the reasoning for interacting with the villagers is taking a step back since we can now purchase our upgrades it seems? Do we still get early access to things like the seed maker and hybrids if we befriend the corresponding villagers?

    Ok. Looks great, and I loved the Original ALMOST as much as the SNES and N64 Harvest Moon games... Now... I hear they are also remaking my favorite Rune Factory Game as well(RF3)... heres hoping you do a vid on that as well. What I'd really like to see though? A remake of Innocent Life, With Tons of QoL upgrades... It was Harvest moon, Except you were a Robot. I never completed it, cause my PS2 Broke. While Harvest moon(now story of seasons) and Rune Factory have new games, and remakes, Innocent Life: A futuristic Harvest Moon Is the only Game in It's Spinoff Series. Also... I saw a HUGE upgrade you didn't mention. Auto-Collect. No more having to pick up and put away one item at a time, one bottle of milk at a time, etc... they pop out or fall to the ground, then it picks them up RPG Loot Style.

    I've never played a game for from this franchise, in fact I didn't know about it until I played Stardew Valley and heard this franchise was a major influencer of it. I have been wanting to give this franchise a chance and the more I hear about it, the more I am looking forward to it. Biggest appeal for me is the social aspect and 'growing older'. As much as I love SD, my biggest issue is the fact you don't do much with your children. Quick question are there sprinklers in this game?

    You should make a big video going through all differences from the original and remake. Also I like that you're able to bring your dog and cat into your house now, if you remember in the original they would jump out of your hands if you attempted to bring them into your home. Though if you sleep they get somehow spawn outside, guess your spouse kicked them out in the middle of the night, lol. Also they removed the feature of being able to push your animal out of the barn yard manual, and while it's not necessarily a convenient feature it had it's usage, for example if you had all your animals outside and a new one was brought in it'll be inside and you can push them outside to join the others. In the remake you'll have to ring the bell to bring all animals in and ring it again to get everyone outside. I also miss the tool shed and silo from the original. I hope they add a hardcore mode through an update or something to make it feel closer to the original like maybe bringing back animals getting sick and needing medicine and animal deaths as well as your cow not giving milk all the time, make money a tad harder to come by, and maybe even friendships go down if you don't interact with someone much. Just to add an additional but optional challenge to those who want that.

    Kinda making this separate from my weird ramblings I'm very impressed by some of the changes. It sounds like a large quality of life boost. I'm glad for what I'm guessing is the cooking system(I forgot stuff despite it having been only a bit after watching) were you can choose to cook without a recipe & gain it after cooking or just using recipes you get. I wasn't too happy with Mineral Town's remake removing that system & making it so you can only use recipes so this could be fun. I also couldn't help but watch the player character grow fruit trees in a clip & get apples. For some reason that made me hope for a remake of Harvest Moon Animal Parade. I'm a little desperate but I should just calm down & enjoy this game.

    I wanted some clarification cause I confused myself if that's ok. You're saying there's an ability to keep playing after the game ends? That heavenly mode or something?(I know I could check what you said but it likely won't help past remembering the name) If it allows to play longer that would be great. I wasn't too keen on the fact the game had to come to an end when I learned about the original long ago.(Well I was caught up on the character dying but the game ending was still a main point) I'm use to the fact Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons has no end even after the main story. My favorite game in the series has an option to end the game leading into new game+ so when I'm finally ready to start over I can start the quest that will end & restart my save file. I'm sorry that this sounds weird(I also rambled for so long I decided to rewrite part of this) but if there's an ability to play longer until I'm ready to end the game & start over then I'm more willing to buy this. I'm interested in the game but was hesitant due to it having an end. I'm fine with eventually ending the game I just don't want to yet sometimes. I could always use duplicate saves & just go back when it gets to the end but I dunno. Sorry that this probably sounds stupid, I understand it can get boring/annoying with no end even after finishing the main story. I'm just weird & want to continue with my farm & family until I'm ready to restart.
