STORY OF SEASONS: Friends of Mineral Town

为童年补票。新版矿石镇由2D改为了2.5D，所有角色的立绘重画了，整体游戏结构、世界观、人物基本还原了gba版本，游戏本身还是好玩的。但花嫁们的立绘升级属于是如升，不少角色的立绘个人感觉不如gba版本。 评分：9+0.5/10。这里要特别点一下这新版的可爱牛牛！游戏还没上线前我就盯上这新版的牛牛了！这加的0.5是冲着看板牛给的！

finally can buy my childhood game

重製是很棒，但感覺以前畫風的女生比較好看，男生大部分變得真的挺好看的，音樂也很好聽，不過還是想玩以前像素版的

操作不适应，玩不下去。可能时代变了。。。为童年补个票吧

With my first SoS game being Grand Bazaar, I hopped onto here after getting hopelessly addicted. I was chasing the highs of that #FarmingLife, but wanted to see a new environment, meet new characters, and explore more of this series that I had been interested in since I was a child, but didn't have access to. So Mineral Town's been fun. I guess. I enjoyed playing it, and it helped me get through a traumatic event with the cozy farming game play and beautiful music. The bright and unique music is my favorite part of this game. The sound effects like the walking are also so soothing. The 2D Graphics are cute, although sometimes, the small mouths of the female characters can make them look weird/childish. The 3D graphics have that old school console charm, but I miss the double jump. I wish that they had updated the game with voice acting to enhance the charm of the characters because some of them are really cute. I like Gray's sweetness, Marie's creativity, Jennifer's wisdom, Kai's easygoing nature, and Cliff finding family in Mineral Town. I do like how the remake [spoiler] lets Cliff return to town if you don't unlock that Autumn event [/spoiler] instead of letting him leave forever, lmao. I do think that the we could've had more heart events (since 2 aren't really enough to get to know them and the rest are locked behind romance) and town events to get to know them better. The other town's people are okay. Apparently Gotts stops working if you don't get him to high friendship by year 3, which I find so funny. I do love the derby festivals and pineapples! Great money makers hehe. Quality of Life wise... could have used more work. - Tutorials. They kind of just isekai you in the world and leave you to figure things out so thankfully online guides are a life saver. (Like how are you intuitively supposed to know about Cliff or the Harvest Goddess rip.) - Festivals. I couldn't really participate in any of them because certain conditions weren't met (like no pets for the pet show, no eligible sheep/alpaca for some reason though I have them, unclear instructions for the chicken festival, etc.), so I appreciate that GB has NPCs giving us materials and a heads up. - Mines. I didn't even know there was a second mine until 5 minutes ago :O I find mining tedious with the lack of early elevator (level 50. really.), lack of sufficient stamina (with food being the best way to get cooked stamina. and you can't really cook until after house upgrades, equipment, recipes from Lou/townsfolk), lack of upgraded tools' ability to target multiple squares. There are 255 levels, but tbh mithril can be found in floor 10 so /shrugs/ - Secret Bachelor/ettes. They're kind of just there to aura farm and get gifts? Most of the time? I'd personally would have loved more heart events or anything to get to know them more and talk to them more outside of mechanical benefits. - Dialogue. Can get too repetitive as well. - Events. They're pretty cool, though hard to trigger at times. (I'm glad GB has the icon for events now.) The way certain events are planned (with some being very niche and competing with each other like Gray and Marie taking Mondays specifically.) The time runs fast, which I kind of appreciate, but it is annoying to miss events due to not walking fast enough. - The kid (both designs) are cute, but I wish they had the elements of both parents like in later games. Despite these frustrations, I still found much comfort in the game and may continue to play to marry Kai (thank you multiple save files, since I got to marry 5 bachelor/ettes with them hehe) and experience Year 2 for festivals I can actually join lol. Overall, it does have a nostalgic feeling (despite me never having played the original), but with 1:1 remakes, I really prefer and suggest having QoL updates and additional content to make games, not only more accessible, but more replayable for new fans and old.

I wish I could've enjoyed this better. I've been poisoned by better farming games.

Game SOS: FOMT cukup mengobati rasa rindu terhadap game HM: BTN. Kalau kalian tumbuh bersama HM: BTN, menurutku, game ini layak dibeli. Mayoritas karakter masih sama, events masih sama, dan sampai backsoundnya juga sama. Yang membedakan adalah layout maps, adanya karakter baru, hingga kebebasan memilih pasangan (mau sama atau beda gender bisa). Kesimpulannya, game ini masih membawa nuansa HM: BTN dengan beberapa upgrade yang tidak terlalu mengganggu/terlalu jauh dari game aslinya.

I wanna marry Popuri, but Rick's heart is changing faster than hers. I'm in some difficult circumstances right now...
