The Pros and Cons of HM:WB

**Posts:** 13

I bet something like this has already been made but, what do you miss from older versions of Harvest moon? and what new things do you like about this one??

Miss: getting mail...but that hasn't happened since FoMT
-shipping bin
-mines (that kills me!)
-more heart events
-being able to change clothes
-having to plant a seeds one at a time
-you cant get a vacation house or island

Like:
-being able to jump
-its easy to earn money once you have a well etablished farm since stuff sells so high at the bazaar
-windmills, no buying maker sheds and makers!
-different colored animal
-you dont need to extend your house size
-you get the recipes when you buy food

ADD ON!

I miss time freezing indoors, but that is the only beef I can think of at ze moment.

Definitely being able to jump and board around and even enter the rivers is a plus for me in Marvelous adding some extremely fun aspects to the game! If you have ever seen me play any game (which you wouldn't have, but play along with it) you would know that jumping pleases me so!

Must be painful when urchins stick to the hero/heroine in the river though. Stamina down, ouch.

I like
- the different colored animals
- cats and dogs bring out the cows, sheeps and chickens
- you can go out during stormy weather
- the windmills
- the bazaar
- a lot of different trees
- no weeds

I hate
- you can only save before going to bed

. In FoMT and HMDS you can save whenever you want. I miss this.

Yes, it is fun

The wind is pushing you and the snow is falling with a stronger power. You see the shaking trees and flying snow balls. If you bring out a chicken, the wind will take it away. The chicken will be found near your house, on the next day.

You can see all 4 rival events. But no wedding. They won't be married.

You can see them flying above your field. If you bring out another animal or pets, they will return to the barn/house.
