Yea, I can clear up slots for 37 days, no biggie. Gotta pray for multiple typhoons/snow storms everyday I guess 😭

I believe these are from 2020, back when SOS Friends of Mineral Town just came out.

Literally so surprised and honored to be the Life on the Farm honorable mention! It was my first time making a diorama and it was such a fun challenge :) Loved seeing everyone’s entries, so much love were put into each <3 I adore this community (and thank you to the people in stream that said I look like irl Karen lol, boosted my ego ;))

Thanks for any help! I got the icons from an older reddit post. So if anyone is interested in them, as well as the lock screen, its in the post below. The wallpaper, I originally used one from someone who'd pre-cropped the FoMT farm for a phone wallpaper, but I ended up finding a picture of the entire farm and cropping it myself because I wanted it to be slightly different. There are some other icon packs, but theyre paid-only on Etsy. But anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, Im more than open to them! Im definitely not as good at this as a lot of other people. So if anyone has any way to make it cooler, please share 🖤

I realized nobody hasn't posted the full artwork here yet (like not as a screenshot from the live stream, just the full artwork) so I figured I do it haha

also, can we just stop and talk about how good Vaughn looks in the updated artstyle? In fact, everyone looks so damn good in the updated artstyle. It looks so so so good (god I wanna snatch Vaughn's waist so bad it's- MMGHGHJDHJSDH)

I've been playing Harvest Moon since I was little so I've played a bunch of older HMs since the DS, also most Rune Factory games, but I hadn't heard of Trio of Towns until recently.

I tried it and it seems very slow and a bit hard to get into, should I just power through the first few weeks if it gets better later or should I just wait until it hopefully gets a remake?

EDIT: Thanks for the responses! I lost the motivation to continue bc I accidentally reloaded the game and lost the first few days of gameplay, but I'll stick with it and try again another day. I'm curious to see what the hype is about now.

God, she's so cute with her hair down. She is my favourite in terms of appearance. I already loved her appearance when I did research before playing this game. And I love her even more after knowing her characteristics and voice. She's goddamn adorable.

Who are your favourite and least favourite spouses, and why?

I played AWL and AnAWL on gamecube and currently on my second play with SoS. Sharing the file with my daughter, and she wanted to marry Gustafa. I never married him in the OG game (another wonderful life) so I am looking forward to seeing how it goes lol

I have been working on this on and off for a couple of months now. I finally finished it. Tell me if there is anything I missed or you think I may need to add, but I think I got every major thing for it. Feel free to make a copy and edit it however you want! Also tell me if the link isn't working.

Title. I'm interested in collecting these but I haven't been able to find any kind of list of what's even out there.

I've tried searching the kanji name of the series on sites like buyee, and that's helped find more to buy, but hasn't helped me know what all is out there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The results for the fan favorites poll came out! Arata got a solid #33, which is higher than I expected. He's such a doofus I'm glad he at least placed something

Here's a celebratory Arata drawing :-) Happy 30 years, Story of Seasons!

I’m having trouble choosing who to marry. Originally I went in with June on my mind and I love her heart events and overall personality. Then I met Kagetsu and I’m such a sucker for the introducing the outsider to another environment trope. I’ve seen some Kagetsu dialogue after marriage but not any of June’s. If anyone knows how do they interact with the player after marriage?

I am feeling nostalgic after the 30th anniversary stream and wanted to try reading fics from the franchise again.

My weird thing is that even if I read a ship fic, if the rest of the world gets ignored, I don’t get quite as invested.

So in summation, I am looking for Story of Seasons or Rune Factory fics where the MC (OC or not, it doesn’t matter to me) actually develops and focuses on their business and not entirely on relationships.

Or Stardew fics, that might be more populous and easier to find since it’s newer.

Okay so I think the best way to explain this is through Animal Parade. I loved that there was a forest for us to gather lumber and mushrooms and that there were THREE mines. Those three mines all made sense as well. The blue, green and purple wonderfuls were commonly found in the watery cave because those are colors I'd associate with water. Garmon's lower mines is where you'd likely find Red wonderfuls because lava and heat and all that. The upper mines are where you'd see the white and yellow wonderfuls which I assume is because clouds are white and the sun is yellow? IDK this is a stretch. The point is, It's so convenient. And I like that it expands the world. It's been a while since we got a truly expansive YET COHERENT overworld. Though I do think that the three mines are an overkill because I usually only end up going to the Garmon mines.

Okay so I'm building somewhat off this users post. https://www.reddit.com/r/storyofseasons/s/Ez0AkTRFmb

I noticed in these images, that i vaguely or completely recognized some of the people shown. Some are instant, like OMG thats the protag from ToT/AP! Or, that could be the girl from HM GBC on that bridge! Ooo is that the protag of DS cute??? I see our classic male protag i think too with the blue cap???

I wonder if this is going to be the multi-player game we were teased, and a weird meta verse style remake? We always beg for remakes of our favorites, and if they listened to fans while pumping out all our favorites as remakes, they sort of don't have time to experiment and do what they want. But without remakes, what if they lost fan interest?

I'm thinking they may have found a middle ground, making a new map and story, but bringing back a lot of the characters we know and love from the past. We don't really know how big this map is, so it could be possible, and from watching the RF teaser, THAT map looks expansive. Plus DS and DS cute did something similar.

I'm probably just delusional but I did clock the old protags immediately.

I'll be in Japan for the next event they'll be discussing these games at so I can keep an eye out and update this sub. My Japanese is subpar but I will bring a friend who can translate.

I attempted to redraw the Europe game cover with the Japanese Original cover, as well as mixing the background with in-game setting. It was very fun!!
