It took more than a month to finally break through, and the ending was full of emotions. This work is a remake of “Life is Beautiful in Harvest Moon” for PS2, and the author has never played the old version. This article will focus on this work, and will not make a comprehensive comparison with the old version. Students who are still waiting to buy it can refer to it.
Advice for newbies:
If you want to watch the complete love affair, please go to the strategy at the end of the article, or you will miss the first year/confession and it will be gone. In the first chapter, you must choose a good marriage partner, otherwise, if you still don’t have any at the end of the first year, you will be gg. In the first chapter, you will feel super busy. It is the poorest period, and you have to make money and give gifts to the person you like every day.
If you want to have a smoother life/don’t want to waste too much time thinking about how to make money, then raise sheep > pick wild flowers and vegetables > dig > grow vegetables > go fishing. It doesn’t matter if there is really no gift to give that day, just go and chat with the villagers. Details can also refer to:Money-making strategies + ways to improve animal health and loveTry to change the schedule more, the topics of visiting villagers at different times will be different, and more events can be triggered. The first chapter basically does not need to rush to spend money to buy fertilizer to improve the crop level.
Firstly, it takes time to fertilize by yourself, and secondly, it is too expensive in the early stage, and it is better to have a fertilizer applicator to fertilize in the later stage. Low-cost and unlimited way to make fertilizer: plant pasture > harvest pasture > take hay to fertilizer maker > plant pasture. Since 1 hay = 5 fertilizer, this method is super cheap and easy. For cooking, I grow a little of everything. Look for the dwarf to get the recipe every day. Keep animals and poultry, even if they are grazing that day, make sure their bowls are full.
(Because they are too lazy to move, they may not have enough to eat when grazing) Newborn animals such as cattle, sheep, chickens, etc., can use the SL Dafa to change their sex. When digging, pay more attention to the color and shape of the things that emerge, and you can predict the future. (X) Long press Y (Switch version) for planting and fertilizer, it will turn into the nine grids most familiar to veteran players of the Ranch series, which can save a lot of time. In addition to holding a fishing rod at the beach, you can also ride a horse directly with equipment in your hand. Press ZR+Y (Switch version) whenever you want to ride a horse, because horses fall asleep too easily. In the later stage of the game, the protagonist starts to get old. If you can’t bear his appearance, change your hairstyle and clothing, and change your mood.
The author loves “The Story of Harvest Moon Mid-Autumn Festival” and the Tale of Harvest Ore Town series. I played both male and female versions at that time, and I accidentally finished all the characters and watched all the plots. The following is an analysis of the advantages and disadvantages with the mood of liking the Harvest Moon series, because I can’t jump out of the perspective of a super beginner to look at it, for your reference.
Advantages of this work:
The highlight of this work – you can experience growing up with your children and feel like living together on the ranch.
This is definitely different from other versions of Harvest Moon, so if you like Sims, I highly recommend you play it. I have to say that the child is very cute, you can watch him grow up in each chapter, and you can also raise children, especially the child in the second chapter is super cute~“It’s life~” The protagonist in each chapter is going through different stages of life.There is a large backpack and storage space, enough to put down equipment and various sundries.
Picking up wildflowers, weeds, digging for antiquities, and harvesting crops are enough to go days or even a month without packing your backpack. It will only be insufficient space when synthesizing special seeds in one go, but it is already very convenient!The map shows the location of the villagers, no need to run around/follow them (switch version: ⊝)No need to store stones and wood, just pay for it
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, because after all the equipment is upgraded in the middle and later stages, it is a bit too much, and there is no place to spend money if you have money~There is a gradual seasonal change and the weather changes during the day
The first few days and the end of each season will have a slight shadow of the previous/post season, and the weather will also change within a day. Even the weather forecast is not necessarily accurate, and it feels very realistic.There are Easter eggs in Ore Town
What can be improved:
The love event in the first chapter is very easy to miss, and it is easy to cause regret if you don’t read the strategy
When I played, I got married without triggering all the events. It’s a pity that I didn’t watch all the plots.There are not enough events in the later stage, the villagers have a high sense of repetition in dialogue, and the protagonist is less likely to affect the family
Although after some major events, some villagers will go to different places, but overall it is still very repetitive. They have no sense of dialogue other than appearance when they are old. Although the theme of this work is life, the villagers have not changed much throughout their entire lives, and even when they are old, they will not complain about back pain or the like. Moreover, the character setting is not as deep as the characters in Ore Town/Rune Factory 3. When chatting, they will not talk about the background, ideals, etc., and the appearance of players will not change their lives in any way. For the author who focuses on the plot, it feels insufficient, and I will be a little too lazy to chat with them later.The export price of crops, fish, etc. other than wool is too low. If there is no sheep, it will be very busy but still very poor
This part really troubles the author who likes to grow vegetables. At the beginning, I was very ambitious to buy a lot of fertilizers. As a result, the harvest after a whole season is not as good as a bunch of 6000G golden wool… If you want to have a smooth life, you really have to raise cattle and sheep before you start doing other work.There are rich varieties of crops, but it is very troublesome to synthesize
It is not possible to choose the quantity when synthesizing. The author is a little irritable after pressing N times, so the advantages of rich varieties suddenly become disadvantages.It takes time to get the Goddess Fishing Rod
The reason is that the cost performance of fishing is too low, and the system is too simple and not fun, basically you will be too lazy to fish. The author wants to get the goddess fishing rod in the later stage of playing, and it takes almost half a year to fish full-time.It will become very quiet when you leave the range of the pasture, and there are not many residents in the village
Feeling a little barren is also a characteristic of Forgotten Valley. The distance between people is a bit far away, and it is not as lively as Ore Town. I always feel that it needs 1-2 more characters to be richer.Most Male Marriage Candidates Are Not Attractive
This is really difficult to deal with, although the male character is already better than the old version, but…
It feels like the generation that will make most female players choose Lily/male protagonist.dwarves won’t help with work
Sorry I’m a lazy person. (laugh)
The author has calculated that if you play seriously at the ranch from 6am to 9pm every day, you will complete the day in about 25-30 minutes. Because the author had “end phobia” in the middle of the game, I ran to play other small games to adjust my mentality. Otherwise, players who are serious and hardworking in farming will pass the level after playing for about 11X hours (3 weeks to 1 month). But in the middle of the game, I feel that this game can be reduced by one chapter, and the ending can be reached in about 5 chapters, and the rhythm will be more lively.
Since this is a different work in the Harvest Story series, everyone will grow up, have an ending, and children have their own ideals. It feels very fresh. In addition, the author likes ranch management very much, so overall I will give it a score of 7.5/10. Although a large part of the score comes from children, it satisfies the wish of watching children grow up in the ranch ~ students who like Sims / want to see children grow up can definitely start.
