Not that I'm aware of. But I've really only played two HM games in Japanese.
But even if it was, I don't think trademark law views Megami as being the same as Goddess, even if they translate into each other.

I may be ordering plushies from ebay... The panda and these new ones.

The panda (and upcoming plushies) can be bought directly from Sota Toys' website.

The new plushies are BIG. The dog is a foot tall (12"), the chicken is 15", and the chick is 6". That may be why they're more expensive than some were expecting. These aren't your typical pre-order promo items.

The cow was available for the special edition of ANB that was on Natsume's site, and it is listed for the same $24.99 price as the new ones.
But they are bigger than what is usually available for the preorder bonuses that were available through the big game retailers.

Oh, thanks for the info, Cher! (Also apparently I bought the panda earlier and forgot, as I was just going through my collection to make sure. Silly me!) I see they have the chicks and dog though, so I shall be ordering them from there. :D

Also, good to know that, Osu.

Yeah, I love how big the panda and cow are. <3

Speaking on plushies, I asked CeeCee if any of them might end up as a preorder and got this response:

CeeCee wrote:Multiverse has been a fantastic partner for us -- and we'll be talking about them a lot more on social media moving forward. Because Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley is entirely a Natsume venture, we get to do some really cool plushie things we couldn't in the past, like the transforming chicken. Ember and Pochica were HUGELY popular and very successful, and we've got some really cool ideas that we can't wait to see Multiverse put into action.

There will be a pre-order plushie (and there will be an E3 plushie) but as we haven't finalized all of our release plans, I'm gonna let the fans keep guessing which plushie is for what :D Multiverse will be attending two anime shows in July and I'd LOVE going with them. Chances are good, but not confirmed yet, they'll have Harvest Moon plush for sale at these shows.

So it sounds like one of the six might end up as a preorder bonus for LV.

I'm pretty late to this party, but I think I read something about TLV being close to 64 and/or FoMT? Is this purely speculation or is there some actual glimmering hope that my nostalgia feels can be happy once again with a new game?

Well these were CeeCee's remarks on it:

CeeCee wrote: I just don't know which one I would compare it most to...it's really different. The game's still not 100% done yet, but I think the thing that personally excites me is that it feels like the traditional HMs, like HM64/BTN. Results may vary on that one though! :p

Thanks. It seems like it's a toss up, but I really home it actually feels like the older games and not just a "yeah, it could feel like these games because of this one reason."

I'm cautiously excited about this game. At least more so than a couple days ago when I only saw the title. I hope E3 won't disappoint.

Also I just did something terrible , I cracked my top screen on my Nintendo 3DS because my cat was being dumb and decided to jump on the kitchen counter when I was in the kitchen.

Oh wow that's terrible D:

But how did that end up with a broken screen? Did you like fling the system at your cat?

The part of the counter he jumped on was a tiny spot not big enough for a cat, but for some reason he thought he could jump up on there and when he got up there he pushed it off which made it hit the corner of the table that is against that counter.

holy « Cow Poopoo » guys, do ya'll ever sleep??? like damn I left at page 44 and ya'll are over 10 pages ahead of me. yeesh..

anyway, I must say, I LOVE Googaboga's idea of "Goddess of Seasons" and fairies instead of sprites, although I think with the other game being "story of Seasons" that might make things even more confusing...I do really wish they had gone with fairies rather than sprites though, just to make it feel like less of a rip off =/

I also agree with that fish on the idea of having to save the goddess from harvest satan doesn't come off as cute in any way to me..

but I think I'm particularly against the idea cause I just recently watch that new Rosemary's Baby miniseries and.....yeahhh.....no...

I bet a bunch of you would love to be Rosemary in this game though lol

The plushes are said to be based on designs from TLV. Personally, I think they're really cute and would be happy if the in-game animals looked similar.

I am seriously loving all these plushies though, and I plan to get all 3 if I can, plus SOS's JP preorder bunny bonus.

I just can't help myself when it comes to plushies >w<

also Blue! I see your icon and such came back! I hope you have them saved now ;3

Well, I think I know what I'm asking for Christmas this year. I need that Hechic.

that's really neat, the plushies are my favourite part of the games lately : D
but i'm kind of surprised no one's focusing on this:
