I don't know, I think the Harvest Moon games Natsume's been putting out these last few years really don't hold up to the same standards as the older games, I think the last one I had the most fun with was A Wonderful Life, and even Rune Factory 1 was great, but the N64 game is still my favourite. I'm glad Hero of Leaf Valley has a less "cutesy" look to it (unlike ToT or AP) but I have a feeling it won't be much different than what we've already seen (and since I've played Save The Homeland countless times as a kid, I don't think I'll be missing much.)
