Story of Seasons

This year’s E3 is long over, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still some post E3 video goodness to enjoy. Game publisher XSEED recently had a live Post E3 stream where they showed off some of their games from E3. Check out the list of games they played & the video below! Here is a complete list of games that are shown in XSEED’s post E3 youtube stream (list is from youtube): ” Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (PS4, Wii U, PS…

I’ve never played a Story of Seasons game before. I have played several of the Harvest Moons and one of the Rune Factory games though. So I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started up Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale for the 3DS. Would it be like Harvest Moon or Rune Factory?   Return of PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale is an RPG first and foremost. The game does have a farming element, much like…

What do you get when you cross a farm simulation game (like Story of Seasons) with an rpg? You might get Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale! The game is coming to the 3DS on March 1st. Here are some more details for the game and a release date trailer.   Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale is a rpg and a farm simulation game.

My farm in Story of Seasons continues to be prosperous, and I figured I would post a short update on what has been going on in Autumn Year 1. I've planted new crops, grown my flock of chickens, and invested in fish hacheries. So far, it has been a great season.

Story of Seasons gets better and better. A lot of great things happened in Summer Year 1 which just added to my excitement for this game. I had new crops to plant, new routines to follow, and new traders available. Summer Year 1 was very successful for myself, and my farm did really well.

Fantasy Farming simulators isn't just about the economy. They have always been loaded with house upgrades and tool upgrades. Story of Seasons is no different. In this final diary entry for Spring, we will look at the improvements I've made around my farm.

Life off the farm is almost as important as life on the farm. Although I assume I'll do this less when I have tons of crops to deal with, I made sure to make daily dives in the three swimming areas currently available to me. Although I don't have a fishing pole yet, I cannot see Story of Seasons keeping me from my favorite past time; at least not for too long.

It is always hard to review lengthy games like the Harvest Moon franchise. By design, the pace is generally slow, everything is done on your own time, and unlike a sprawling AAA title, they are often directionless. So, I have instead decided to run a series of diary entries while I play Story of Seasons, chronicling each season I play.
