Story of Seasons/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

** Other games have them as well, but with the exception of Skye, most are NPCs you can't marry. Examples include Flora (AWL version), Pastor Carter (More Friends version), Alisa (Island of Happiness), Marian (Grand Bazaar) and Eileen (Two Towns). ''Sunshine Islands'' even trolls you by giving Alisa heart events like a marriageable girl, but [[Married to The Job|having her turn you down.]] {{spoiler|It looks like you ''can'' marry her in ''A Tale of Two Towns'', though. But since she is a priestess, no child!(Something that Lara from Frontier does opposite.)}}

** Wizard from ''Animal Parade'' certainly seems to be one of the most popular bachelors with the fandom along with [[Tsundere|Gill]], [[Deadpan Snarker|Chase]] and [[The Fool|Luke]].

* [[Family Unfriendly Aesop]]: A common thing in dating sims but... The best way to befriend somebody or have them fall in love with you is to shower them with gifts.

* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]: A common thing in dating sims but... The best way to befriend somebody or have them fall in love with you is to shower them with gifts.

** Sort of justified, though. Everyone lives in a community were most everyone specializes in one type of product. Stands to reason that the best thing you could do for a person is provide them with foods or materials they don't have.

*** Which still doesn't explain why Rick and Popuri, who own a ''chicken ranch,'' are most easily wooed with ''eggs.''

Line 28:

*** Saving, turning off your DS and reloading the game clears out the entire mine floor of monsters (except, strangly, the moths)

* [[Ho Yay]]: Ash in Two Towns seems to talk about Cam a lot. Oddly, Cam never mentions Ash.

* [[It's Easy So It Sucks]]: The Wonderful Life games gave smaller seasons, love interests with no rivals and are much quicker to woo, a much smaller town, and in general is very simplified compared to other HM games. Though it's less of a challenge, it is a good way for newcomers to the series to get the hang of the general playthrough before going to the harder games.

** Also the days in Wonderful Life are soooooooo long, you can end up getting bored.

** ''Grand Bazaar'' has been called "Harvest Moon For Dummies."

* [[Mis Blamed]]: A lot of people mistake Natsume as being the makers of the games, when in reality they are only translators for the America's. Thus errors and glitches in gameplay that aren't related to Natsume (such as the mailbox being locked in a lot of games) are often [[Mis Blamed]] at Natsume.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: When your animal dies in the Wonderful Life series.

* [[The Scrappy]]: In Tree of Tranquility/Animal Parade, [[Token Mini Moe|Luna]] and [[Attention Whore|Selena]] are not well liked by the fandom. Doesn't help that they can marry two of the most popular guys in the series but the former gets more flak mainly because Gil (who as shown above is part of the [[Fan Preferred Couple]] with the female protagonist and somewhat of an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]] and his rivalry scenes with Luna have her act very immature to Gill's calm nature. Doesn't help that if the player tells Luna that she likes Gill, she'll act like a complete bitch to you by saying, "I'm prettier than you." Not something you say to the player that can decide your fate and make you single because of it.

** However, almost ALL of the bachelorettes act pretty catty when the player discourages them from confessing. They're really just hated because they marry the most popular guys in the game, similar to Sabrina from [[Io H]].

* [[Scrappy Mechanic]]: Seem to pop up with regularity in the DS games, including the cooking mechanics in [IoH/SI], the animal mini-games in DS/DS Cute, the storage system in Grand Bazaar and the farm expansion and tool upgrade systems in Two Towns.

Line 46:

** Also the Swimming Contest in ''Back To Nature''. You will be reloading and replaying that one A LOT.

*** And the snowboard contest and horse race in ''Grand Bazaar''. There's a reason you're allowed (and encouraged) to practice year-round.

* [[They Changed It Now It Sucks]]: Some fans view on the games after 64, and to a larger extent most fans views on BTN/FOMT/MFOMT compared to 64 and DS/Cute compared to AWL/ANWL/AWL:SE/FOMT/MFOMT.

** Many HM fans seem to feel that way with IoH and it's many "innovations" (The all-stylus controls, the Fullness meter, the weather/crop growing mechanic, the gimped [compared to other games in the series] cooking system, etc.)

* [[Toy Ship]]: Stu and May (BTN and Mineral Town), Hugh and Katie (DS\DS Cute), Charlie and Eliza (Island of Happiness), Rahi and Ying (Tale of Two Towns)
