Ushi No Tane Forum

I'm a 16 year old guy, and I love harvest moon!
My older siblings love it too.

I was just wondering if this game appeals to a certain gender or not.

Both, even though it seems like more girls play. Guys and girls can like it especially since you can normally choose players gender.

Yeah. I'm an old man, an I still enjoy these games... Though, I do keep it a secret that I play them...

My sister plays the game and so do I, but it seems whenever I want to talk about HM with my friends, only the girls seem interested.

My brother and I have always loved them since we were little. He still occasionally plays (he is 17), but I play them much more now.

The older HM games appeal more to guys then... the newer games do. I'd say that nowadays they are definitely targeting these games towards girls with how cutesy they are now. o3o

I think it's more open to boys and girls now, although the graphics are extremely cute and would definitely suit a female audience. I always turned away from Harvest Moon when there wasn't a female option because I am a girl and felt more comfortable playing as a girl, but it never stopped me. Even with the 'female' graphics, my 12 year old brother still plays it occasionally when he's taking a break from his usual war and gun fight oriented games.
I think this will be a great hit if this comes to the UK since we'll finally have more options to play as either boy or girl; MFoMT never came to Europe as well as DS Cute and AnWL so only people who knew about these versions would have imported them. We didn't have the female option in Magical Melody and I never bothered to buy a copy because the option was unfortunately removed.

Heh, it seems the newer games are making up for the older ones girls probably didn't feel so comfortable with. Still, I never have any friends in real life I can talk to about Harvest Moon.

I play my fair share of war games.

But sometimes it's nice to relax and play harvest moon. It's very calming

A guy got me into the game and I'm a guy, but yes I think I agree that the older games are more suited to males. I don't hide that I play the game at all.

But yeah, for some reason it seems either catered to either gender or moreso to girls. It's hard to tell because a majority of Ushi is obsessed fangirls.

Harvest Moon is for everyone. Especially the new versions.

I believed you were a girl o_O

I'm a boy, and I love HM. ^^ RF interests me a tad more, but I'm in love with them both.

Nonsense. Most of us are decent.

Awww.... you aren't ugly. You are cute

Actually... a guy described as that playing Harvest Moon does sound cute.
