Line 1: {{work\|wppage=Story of Seasons}} {{outdated}} [[File:Harvest_Moon_Logo.png\|frame]] '''''Story of Seasons''''', formerly called '''''[[Harvest Moon]]''''', is a series of [[Simulation Game\|Simulation Games]] based on farming developed by Marvelous Entertainment and translated by Natsume in North America and Rising Star Games in Europe. The original game was released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System\|Super NES]] in 1995, and since then there have been over twenty ''Harvest Moon'' titles released for a variety of different consoles. ([[The Other Wiki]] has [[w:List of Story of Seasons video games\|a list]].) The plot line, such as it is, is much the same for almost every game: the protagonist, a young man ([[Distaff Counterpart\|or woman]]) just starting life on his or her own, inherits or buys a farm. Sadly, its previous owner was unable to keep up with chores on the farm, leaving it in a significantly dilapidated state... and now it's up to you to fix it! Gameplay is generally fairly simple. The player must clear ~~his/her~~the fields, plant crops, raise livestock like cows, sheep, and chickens, care for pets like horses and dogs, and gather materials from the countryside to help improve his/her house or sell for extra cash. However, the "business" aspects of play are not nearly the full scope of the game; the social aspect of the series is one of its biggest draws. In addition to making money through a variety of means, the player is generally expected to integrate himself or herself into the community. Players can make friends with various townsfolk, attend festivals (which range from paralleling real-life holidays like Thanksgiving or Christmas, to pseudo-religious ceremonies, purely social occasions in the community, and competitions where the player can compete himself or herself or enter his/her livestock or pets to compete), woo the local girls (or guys in later versions where you can [[Distaff Counterpart\|play as a female farmer]]), and eventually get married and have children. Line 298 ⟶ 299: ** Alice in Hero of Leaf Valley. So much so that when you give her a birthday present she goes so far as to use some classic tsundere lines. {{quote\|'''Alice:''' "Well, I guess I'll take it from you. I-It's not like I'm happy about it or anything!"}} * [[The Ugly Guy's Hot Daughter\|The Ugly Guy's Cute Daughter]]: Gannon and Eliza from ''Island Of Happiness'' * [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: Several entire ''games'' do this; ''Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Moon'' and ''Innocent Life: A Futuristic Harvest Moon'' are both [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]], though the entire rest of the series are in realistic modern day settings, barring some various [[Nature Spirit\|fairies, imps, and sprites]], not to mention ''Puzzle De Harvest Moon'', a not very well received Puzzle Game -- not of the Match Three subgenre, despite what anyone who hasn't played it will tell you. * [[Unwanted Harem]]: In A wonderful Life it's pretty easy to unintentionally get Muffy and Celia to fall for you, without even talking to them sometimes.
