*They say it's the ten-year anniversary, but Harvest Moon came out in Japan in 1996 and the U.S. in 1997. It is the ten-year anniversary of the PAL release of Harvest Moon SNES, so it still counts!

I was looking forward to this game but now that it looks like "Harvest Moon: My Life as a Farmer" I don't really care about it anymore. Don't know what exactly I was expecting but I really thought it should look different. That sounds awfully contradictive but I would have wished for an even more comic style approach. But I'll wait until it is released to make up my mind.

It has a fairly big map from what I played. Call me weird but I wouldn't like "A wonderful life" all over again as long as it was just much grander in scale. I loved the mechanics for that game and the peoples evolving storylines...but then all that just stopped and there was no reason to play any more.

Awwww - people hated the farming-feel for Harvest Moon?
I LOVED-LOVED-LOVED A Wonderful Life! (not the PS2 version... for some reason, that was REALLY SLOW... like, glitchy slow)
I think it's mainly because I've enjoyed a simple life before, and loved every hour-like second of it. So a game where you don't do much except for "live", seemed beyond amazing to me. (A Wonderful Life is definitely in my top-ten games)
*sigh* Ahhh~ loved that game.
This game? Hmmm... seems definitely interesting, but A Wonderful Life is definitely a hard buzz to kill for me. The only Harvest Moon I loved as much as A Wonderful Life, was the original version. We'll see if this stacks up to it (I doubt it... since this has more of a "STORY" to it... the more stories in a Harvest Moon game, the more it feels like an RPG and less of a SIM).
