Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life - PBG
Apr 30, 2023It's no secret that I'm a fan of Harvest Moon. I've made videos about the game, talked about it on top ten lists, and long ago even made a video about my top 5 Harvest Moon games, but don't bother. Looking at it it's not very good and it's old and in that list I put Harvest Moon to Wonderful Life at number 4 but I'm not sure if I still agree with that opinion looking back I remember having a lot of problems with the game but at the same time At the time, Harvest Moon creator Yasuhiro Watt asserted in the 2012 interview with engadget.com that Wonderful Life was as close to his highly original concept as he had for Harvest Moon and, in essence, is what I always wanted Harvest to be.
Moon so maybe there's more to the game than I remember let's play it now we're this guy we'll call him P but okay I'm so excited to play Harvest Moon here we go there's just one little thing I need to mention here first let's see here oh yeah , our father is dead, that sucks, but he left us a farm to take care of. I mean, he had a lot of other things going on, but I guess I can drop all of that and spend the rest of my
life
farming. I don't see why not now running an entire farm seems a bit intimidating, but don't worry, we've got our dad's old friend takakuwa here to help us out and by help us out I mean basically do nothing except walk the occasional first time. you talk to him he even tells you to figure things out on your own but maybe i'm being too critical here he offers some other pretty solid info like i also put some seeds on the shelf they are there to use gusto taka cuca you helped me when you said words that are there to read after being shown around the farm for a while until a stray dog shows up and you have to pick one as a pet I always feel bad about this part two little dogs both looking at you with loving eyes full of hope and just you reject one of them above us oh wow a puppy oh shut up there no one cares about you oh a baby oh i can't believe it sweet angel upside down but now that I think about it, maybe the dog I chose is actually the unlucky one because i never feed him or play with him or anything half the time i forget he's there let's raise a glass to my best friend the dog it's painful. lonelylife
to choose from, then we are briefly introduced to the characters in the village, followed by the first scene with theharvest
glows.Harvest glows are nothing new to Harvest Moon, but there's something a little off about them in this game. There is usually some sort of story related purpose or reason for the existence of
harvest
sprites and even if third it is somehow explained or at least acknowledged that only you can see them and it's kind of weird and surprising that They exist but in awonderful
life, they just show up, say hi and you're great. I don't want to be all stereotypical and make a joke like oh you must be so high, but it's literally confirmed in-game to visit the totally unmade. do operations on your intoxicated brain harvest sprites you have to go to the woods and eat a bunch of mushrooms then you show up at his house i mean it's not even very subtle if you ask me obviously P but he's not too interested in taking his father's farm, he just feels socially compelled to do so and thus in turn self-medicates with various forms of narcotics, but hey, that's just a theory. the focus is running a successful farm, of course you can grow different types of crops depending on the season, it's quite fun in this version, but it takes a long time for them to grow and a decently long time to water them too. which is actually not as lucrative as in other games because unless you grow really high quality crops they don't sell for much more than the price of seeds and fertilizer is also insanely expensive you know you're living in hard times when it cost a few thousand dollars to buy a lot of seeds, they also added a couple of new mechanics to farming, the seed maker, which allows you to make crop seeds, as well as hybrid seeds which are made from this creepy talking plant of two heads. called tartan now my lifelong dream of eating a Camino will finally come true you also have the option to breed animals quite early in the game you get a horse for free and it's already grown so you can ride it right away you can't make money from it, but it definitely helps to be able to move around the city at a much faster pace and you can do a lot more in a single day because of that but you can also do tricks then there are the cows that you can milk several times a day personally I always wanted to do a big dairy empire and become a billionaire but it takes a lot of time to take care of the cows you can buy the milking parlor to make it easier but it costs a lot of money so i never have but one day my dream will come true and everyone will pay for their sins.Why does everyone always look at me at the table? Try at all and you can turn the fruit into seeds with the seed maker and make Bank not even tried hey big money try Nina baby big money don't care if it's me or if it's honey just plant some trees and make a lot of money or if none of that works for you there's always fishing all you have to do is sell whatever fish you catch the vet huh what's that noise? i'm going to get it i'm going to get it oh no man why are you doing this to me come buy a lot of cool stuff what are you talking about you only have three things for sale it's medicine you don't even need it in this game let's take a look at some of the other townspeople.
I remember not finding them all that interesting, but I don't know what I was thinking because this game has some of the strangest characters in any game I've ever played, let alone. the game of harvest
moon
even takakura says they're weird and doesn't bother to introduce them to you no matter what you do just don't go there that's where all the weird people if you know avoid this whole general area if they touch you'll get infected with its rarity and then you will die. Sorry sit down to say that but it's science. I mean there are a lot of common people like more farmers a couple who run the inn and a rich old lady but then you have the metalologist pyrotechnicians and a professional hippie hippie who is my weakness plus young girls which is Lou Nina run run far away and never look back and speaking of lou mina the first scene you get with her is just great in the middle of talking to a rock she walks in and stares at you and if you answer her question correctly she just walks away without saying anything, don't worry mate, not at all creepy when i was a kid i used to feel bad for Marie the local bum. he is always talking about his old town Popo Valley and how he wants to go back there but can't because he doesn't have enough money, occasionally you can find him begging near the bar and if you talk to him you have the option to donate and I'm sure some of you they wonder if something happens if you give her money yes something very specific definitely happens if you give money to Marie in turn you lose the amount of money you gave her and have no way to get it back that's what happens ok , that's partially false, if you donate enough money to him, eventually you'll get a scene where he thinks he gives you an o that isn't worth much and tells you that he finally has enough money to go back to his family, but he comes back later and Says I drank too much and spent all my money, excuse me, you mean my money, Morey, yes you spent all my money and despite people's expressions, no I'm not happy about it, so yeah, it's okay nothing, he also steals food from their storage shed and even though there is food literally all over the ground and forget-me-not Valley, they still feel a little bad for not letting him have it, then there's Darrell the scientist who is by far. the strangest character in the whole game almost half of the scenes involve him in some way he is always doing crazy experiments spying on your farm and family and even spying on flora carter the archaeologist assistant looks weird too he has something weird happening around his facial region and speaking of carter he's also a bit weird to begin with he does this all the time i don't know what it is but you can also offer to help him on his dig site which i did quite often because you can find good gifts. for other villagers there, but no matter how many times he did it, no matter how many things I found, he never wants any of it. he's even looking and what exactly is he doing here what's going on in this whole camp you know what maybe Daryl really had a decent point I don't think this guy gives a shit about archeology I think he just likes living in a little tent with flora you know just having a nice person i feel like i've been talking about this game for a while and just barely mentioned one of the most important aspects of the game the fact that you can get married similar to almost every Harvest Moon game to get married you have to make friends with one of the bachelors of the elbow or if you are playing anotherwonderful
life one of the bachelors you can do this by talking to them every day and much more important giving them things giving things to your girl every day will rock a world it's the only way to make you like them every day make sure you don't forget a day because if you forget a day she'll never forget that day later she'll pay you for that day she'll never stray from that mound on a dig site over there uh don't even think it's weird i found them 10 just one day but i think you won't do it no way if you don't marry me your life will be full of misery i think you want this crap. really bad lag fps problem the whole game is super slow and it's like that and it's not fun and it's not good and it's not fun and it's not good it's ok it's playable but it's already a pretty slow game to start with so I don't have time for any of that today I'm doing this a lot it's also much easier to get married in this game than in other Harvest Moon games in fact the game forces you to get married after the first year and if you don't get married the game alone end here those single people whats the point im right so this time i went with nami shes quiet and mysterious but i think she likes me dont be so eager just to say hi well she said yes when i proposed so thats it good enough for me i still think the small list of eligible marriage candidates is a huge negative but there is a much greater emphasis on a wonderful life in your son he really grows with time and his choices in actions in the game even has an effect on his personality, for example if your friends have a hippie guy aka Gustavo but I prefer a hippie guy your kid is more likely to be artistic and even though I didn't really appreciate this that much growing up , I think I liked it a lot more now there's something great and rewarding about watching your child grow up and become their own person, it's something that no other Harvest Moon game really offers and you know what I think I have this whole kid thing under control um hi i think baby needs you you know in the end i think i was wrong or i was right i was originally right and now i run this game it's actually pretty good actually i could say as much as two people say it's a wonderful life it wasn't dead in any sense i think what i'm trying to say here is now that i've given it a little more time thinking a little more i love this game wait what's up with this what's happening i'm dying I'm dead?Yeah, looks like I'm dead. I played for so long that my character died and I can't continue playing. I hate this game.
