O Harvest Moon que eu mais joguei, muito bacana ele manter os personagens do Back to Nature, que infelizmente eu nunca joguei mais sempre vi na série do Heitor. Gosto dos personagens, das interações e tudo mais. Mas eu nunca avancei profundamente no jogo, por exemplo eu sei que existem upgrades acima do Mythril, e fico pensando em como seria interessante pegar eles nas minhas ferramentas,
o jogo é infinito e mesmo eu me aprofundando não consigo ver tudo o que ele tem a oferecer.

Got me through quite a few panic-attack induced bouts of insomnia with its serene atmosphere.

A trilha sonora da cidade...foda!!!

Não tem jeito, jogo da infância, muitas memórias referente a visita na casa da vozinha e amigo durante anos da infância que morava logo na frente da casa dela.

I played this over the course of a boating vacation along the shores of northern Norway. Got severely addicted to the farming (my first farming-exclusive game). An all around excellent time, it was. Stuffed Popuri full of eggs and worked the soil like a horse. Sad part is, I dabbed off it right before my egg-borne kid showed up, which I think can count as an endgame if there ever was one. I still think about progressing a few more days, but some of the soundtracks really grated my sanity away so I think I'll let my egg-borne stay unborn. Got to Year 2 Winter. I'm proud of my farm but I can't go back.

Farming sims have come a long way since Friends of Mineral Town. But this (and by extension Back To Nature and Harvest Moon 64) was where The Good Shit started. It was never strictly about farming, but about participating in festivals, making friends, even settling down and getting married. FoMT even has a rivals system, where if you take too long to get married, every bachelorette will eventually marry someone else, in which case your only option is to wed God (joking not joking).

Friends of Mineral Town walked so other games in the series, let alone the genre, could run. It lacks a lot of the bells and whistles modern Harvest Moon games have, while other titles like Rune Factory or Stardew Valley augment the experience to a satisfying degree. But for some folks, they just want the good ol' back-to-basics of a solid portable Harvest Moon to see where things started to get good for the series.

All wives are perfect. Rick is an asshole.
