I Made A Terrible Elazul From “Legend Of Mana” In The Gemsona Doll Maker

Harvest Moon 30 Day Challenge: Day 6

Day 6:  Chickens, cows, or sheep? Or maybe ostriches or alpacas for you newfangled Wii and 3DS people

Can I pick... All the Above???

I love animals in general, but I do get excited over ducks, alpacas and rabbits. I also loved having a pig in “Magical Melody”.

Meh.

I haven't even watched Free! yet... but I've had the closing theme in my head since yesterday. Going to crunchyroll right now.

Harvest Moon 30 Day Challenge: Day 2

Day 2: Whats your favorite handheld HM game?

There’s several I really enjoyed over the years, but I think overall... I honestly like “Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns” best.

At least to me, Trio felt like an improved version of “More Friends of Mineral Town”, my previous favorite. It's really well-balanced for farming, side jobs, and the game’s main goals. I always planned out my route for the day, just like I did in MFoMT, so that I wouldn’t miss anyone I wanted to talk to and to avoid forgetting to visit a shop since you have three towns to visit!

It even has small elements of “Grand Bazaar”, where in this case it’s not mandatory in Trio, but if you befriend people who are friends or family with the bachelors and bachelorettes, you sometimes learn a little more about the character you’re pursuing. It makes the characters feel richer in personality and makes it seem like everyone in town actually do interacts with each other and have a relationship in some way.

Plus I couldn’t believe how many random events / friend events I would accidentally wander into simply because I befriended villagers I barely knew just by greeting them every day! Sometimes I would lose track of what I was originally doing, but the events usually were interesting or entertaining, so I didn’t mind.

One more nice touch, if you end up at someone’s home at the beginning of a meal, sometimes you’ll be invited to join the meal! It’s something I found cute, you hear a variety of topics and helps your character regain a little bit of energy if you don’t have any food on hand.

Harvest Moon 30 Day Challenge: Day 30

Day 30: Tell the tale of how exactly you found yourself getting into the HM series. Make it long and detailed! :D

Well, I was first introduced to it when I was probably around 8 years old. I went to FuncoLand (a couple of years before it became Gamestop) with my mom and brother to sell off several NES games.

While we were waiting, my brother and I were browsing the games and I remember him showing me the cover for Harvest Moon (but I guess it was either an older print or a European copy?) and he asks me what genre I thought the game was and since I wasn’t used to simulators at the time, I said horror because of the night sky and silhouettes, which pleased him and he flipped over the box and showed me that it was a farming sim (I hadn’t heard the term “Harvest Moon” before, so what can you do?) I was intrigued, but we didn’t get to buy it, which bummed both of us.

Some time later, my brother had discovered emulators and was playing Harvest Moon, I ended up watching him from time to time and it just caught my interest, especially when he hit festivals. I remember him even asking me when I thought he should propose to Maria (we agreed the Starry Night Festival, but discovered you can’t do that lol).

Years later, I was probably a freshman in high school, my brother brought me along to go to Gamestop (different store though) and I noticed mfomt and I was going to buy it, but my brother was told that it wasn’t good by his friends and told me to put it back (I was naive and did), but it bugged me. So I ended up getting a rom of it and played it like crazy over the weekend and scolded him for making me put it back.

I was going to buy it the very next week, but it was already gone... (Honestly, not for story effect, anything with anime artwork was usually sold by the time you visited the store again).

I did eventually get it, but I had to wait a few years before it was in the wild again (I was discouraged to use ebay at the time), it was around the same time DS Cute came out (which I pre-ordered and got my black kitty! Though the house fire ate the doll... But the cartridge survived!)
