no on the gamecube one day takes 5 or 15 minutes and you have to attend to your farm activiities more than once each day.
(2 days each day water and milking).

The aspect is much more on the social interactions. It's quite hard to have a huge garden and much less rewarding as in the snes version. (you should really try the GBA version, it's much closer to the snes version)

But the game isn't all bad. It has quite a few nice things. But I was little bit disappointed after playing the GBA version.

What is the game about? I watched the video review of it on gamespot and still don't understand what the purpose of the game is.

I wasn't trolling. I seriously cannot grasp the game. Is it an rpg? Is it a game like Sims? All I know is that you have something to do with a garden and that you collect something. Plus this strip http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=184

(funniest comic strip online imo)

The GBA version of Harvest Moon's pretty much the coolest one I've seen. Still got to try the GC and PSX version, and, if there is one, the N64 version too. The GBA version took a bit too long to my likings to expand and customize your house (which was mainly why I played), and to have any change in relationships. That is, unless you cheat and buy yourself golden wooden fence thingies. The next day, each and every villager'll come over to either scold you or tell you how disappointed they are :whistle:

(my remark about being disappointed after playing the GBA version refers to the GC version of the game)

Yeah. The GBA version is the best. It's actually a port of the PS1 version I recall.

There is one for the N64 as well. I have only played it very briefly once.

In the GBA version (and after 2 years ingame) I'm at the point of getting married.
The Love meter is maxed out, but she refuses me all the time. I think I have to get a 2 personbed before she will accept my proposal.

My house is quite large and I'm on very good terms with the harvest sprites!
(tip give them the honey/apple you collect each day when they are working to you. It boosts your relationship a lot).

Can't even get them to work Then again, I barely spend time on those. I keep my farm and tools at such a level that I can take care of it myself. During harvest time, that can sometimes take an entire (ingame) day, but it definitely is rewarding to do so.

Isn't the game limited (2 or 3 years)?? :blink:

If I remember correctly, in SNES version each girl had different taste.

@ efthimios - It is a Sim game, where you have to repair/build farm that you inherited from your grandpa (if I remember correctly) or some other ol' man. Your parents left you alone, so you have to work everyday to buy stuff, improve and enlarge your farm, impress a girl, get married and have children. Depending on your success, you can get different endings at the end.

@ data – Thanks for info. I will try GBA version first. GC version cost 15 bucks now. (I can’t find PSX version anymore)

[efthimios]

Thank you Anubis. It does sound interesting, just not my cup of tea.

[Kon-Tiki]

It is mine. Am going to play it again Just wondering... GBA one or N64 one, or, if I can find it, the PSX one? Tough choice.

Seems like the whole discussion kind of drifted from Animal Crossing to Harvest Moon

[Rogue]

How different is Animal Crossing? What are goals in that game?
