The issue regarding being stuck in the mine and not being able to move (and possibly that floating fishing rod one) has been patched with the release of Version 1.2 of the game.

oh man i havent thought of Harvest moon since Save the Homeland on ps2
this brings memories

[ShadedOne]

Would get it only if it is released on Switch. Plus, all other titles I bought are on switch so consistency. Thanks for reviewing I didn't even know this was released.

I want to buy this, but I’m scared they won’t update it as time goes on.

Such a great review, thank you so much for the details. I hope this will come to the Switch, would enjoy playing it there.

Is it common in Harvest Moon games to reuse marriage candidates as this game seemingly does? Here I thought it might upset some gamers to have the one they picked as their spouse in one game to have potentially "divorced" them in the other game and moved town... or are the characters more like alternate universe versions rather than the same person across games? Or do Harvest Moons playerbase maybe just got enough maturity that it doesn't bother them in the first place?

Hello! May I make a suggestion? I like the "a red turnip out of 10" running gag, but I see no reason why you could not also include an actual rating, for example: "8 red turnips out of 10". Bye :)
