They all have amazing reflexes. They may dodge your attacks, but depending on the game it will still make them hate you.

And in the Harvest Moon world, unless you are married, someone hating you is basically them just treating you like you've never met, or that you just moved in. It would be kinda cool to have "negative" heart levels. I guess that's a fair complaint.
eh,which game will makes them hate you if we do that??O_o;;
I agreed with the reflex thingy *U* ther re awesome!!!

I always wished that when you play a girl in any HM and you want to get married, that somehow the boy would know and propose to you instead of you to him. And it wouldn't hurt to do the whole on their knees thing, too. :)

Also I wish people would move around the land a little more...and that you could actually see them moving from place to place, I mean people in real life are always busy going places. (this is probably mostly for AP)

And this is totally impractical and everything, but I wish that you didn't have to run everywhere like a crazy person in every single HM game. We should just be able to walk around normally without having to worry that all the shops are going to close before we get halfway there. @.@

I'll probably think of more later. ;D

Mine:

Why can you only see the harvest goddess even if other people are around? The only people who saw it is in SI in the church girls heart event!
Why is Julius so darn « lame turnip » yet you can still marry them? MY WHOLE FAMILY GUESSED HE WAS A GIRL!
Why is every boy in AP so darn ugly? It makes it hard to get married!
Why are you in Japan yet no one looks Japaneses except people like chen in ioH?
Why can you milk your animals from its head and butt?
Why do you have to just touch the running sheep to sheer sheep in the ioH mini game?
Whats up with pressing buttons to get milk?
1200 dollars for 1 bailed rice? WHAT THE HECK?! 300 for 1 turnip!?!?!
Why does every fish look the same except for that their all super sized like you zoomed in for a picture?
Why are girls always so much cuter?


Guys dont insult me on my opinions. I didnt make this topic for people to disagree on my list, i made it so they could make their own list. And NO, I am not racist.
Why no matter what your character looks the same?

Ok im getting bored so bye :D

Seriously, woman are big hips'ed in that game, so I don't understand how people could take him for a woman since his kinda...plain. Like all males in that game.

Yes, I've thought about the negative hearts too. If they don't have any hearts or 1-2 that means they are neutral and they don't feel anything special to you. But if they had two systems:
red hearts - friendship
black heart - disliking
That would be really interesting. In real life people like or dislike you too. If Marvelous wants to make more realistic game, they should add this system.

ok first of all guys if its in yen, then that would mean a house would only cost 180.00 dollars. how does that make sense? Also a big tv would also cost 50.00 dollars only. and i think thats a little weird.

And guys i made this topic so you could make your own list of complaints, not answer the errors in mine or talk about and disagree with mine.

Thank you to those who used the topic correctly

Hmm. Why is it if you play as a girl in any harvest moon game, when you become pregnant you go straight back to work without the pregnancy affecting you at all? I've always wondered that.

And I know the answer to this one is that Marvelous just didn't make the sprites for it, but after so many years in the Harvest Moon games that never end, everyone looks the same. o__o
In FoMT, Marvelous even awards you for playing for 50 years (in-game, of course) with the mountain cottage. XD

EDIT: I failed and referred to Natsume, not Marevelous. -facepalm-

Expanding on the negative heart levels thing, I also thought it would be interesting if there were social circles. It's an idea I had a long time ago where if you befriended/enemied a character it would make an impression on the characters they are close with, so that group might be easier or harder to befriend. Or if there are villagers that aren't on greatest terms with each other, so you can't befriend both of them without triggering a reconciling event or something. Too bad there really isn't much interaction between characters in HM, and it seems to want to follow the "EVERYONE always gets along" motto most of the time.

As for gameplay incentives beyond just more interesting dialogue, maybe your social standing could affect things like discounts (or jacking up prices haha) or item availability in shops. Things like that.

That's an amazing idea! Especially that last one *wink wink*

And it reminded me of the nagging voice in my head that keeps saying "these characters are so... flat".

We need character depth, kthnxbai. -.-;

Also, FP and LP should be split into different categories to avoid loss of character. That way instead of just a million ways to say "I love you" (as some complain) they also still have an "FP" line where they talk about something not-romantic. Even if it's just the same as what they might say to you if you were already married or the same gender, it might balance out the mushy stuff more.

y'know, that idea has occurred to me too. I really don't understand why they didn't do that in any of the games. =/

as far as complaints go, I really dislike how little most characters have in the way of backstories. one of the 30897563 "things I wish they'd done differently", but probably at the top of the list.

Natsume doesn't make the games, Marvelous does. Natsume just localizes them (and occasionally they kill the characters. Poor, poor Ucho brothers. T^T They were so young. So full of life, and promise,and... Um... What was I talking about again? Oh, right).

Yeah, Natsume doesn't make HM.

Thanks for the correction; I have a bad habit of referring to the company that plasters their name over everything than the company that made the games in the first place.

It's fine. It's a common mistake. ^^; People are always telling Natsume what they should do for the next Harvest Moon or Rune Factory game on their Facebook page, apparently unaware that they have no control over any of it

The most I have any issue with has to do with the glitches and typos, as well.
Ditto. xP Like in ToT, if you marry Owen, he may call you or your child D12% (or something like that.) Not to mention many other glitches & such. =/
