Technically this is a Back to Nature remake, so I'm excited.

Never played a Harvest Moon game before, but Stardew Valley revealed a love for farming simulators I didn't know I had, so I'll be checking this out.

Reminder that Mary is best girl. ...that's a strange way to spell Karen.

Makes sense. I love Stardew Valley, anyhow, but if it can be said to have helped revive Harvest Moon and Rune Factory in any part, then all the better.

Looks like despite the character redesigns and some quality of life improvements it's more or less the same game with the same layout to everything, which I'm onboard with.
Most of the character designs I don't really like as much as the originals but can live with, but I'm questioning Sexy Gotz. The only reason I can even tell it's him is because I recognize the house.

I'm way more stoked for Rune Factory 5, and the 4 enhanced port, but I'll likely get this eventually. I do quite love these kinds of things.

I got Rune Factory 1 and I just couldn't get into it at all. To be fair I really didn't even especially try, pretty much stopped playing like an hour into it, but just wasn't what I was looking for in Harvest Moon personally.

The series definitely got better later. 1 and 2 are kinda rough. The two on Wii are kinda their own thing, but 4 definitely felt like they finally nailed it.

Turns out the game already came out in Japan a few days ago. Info on it seems to be pretty sparse but what I've seen it seems like it's more or less the same game with some quality of life improvements and some extra stuff.
One thing that is frustrating is it turns out the English translation is already present in the game, but there's no option to access it so if you want to just grab it off the eShop now you'd have to mod it to understand it.
Edit: Something of interest I did just learn about is that they added back in the Best Friends mechanic that was cut from the international version of DS Cute, with both guys and girls being able to hook up with whoever. Given how much cultural perspective on gay marriage has shifted since that time, I'm sure the translation will keep it in this time but I wonder if the translation will be more overt about it than the Japanese one is.

So a huge change, and one I'm pretty put off by, is that now animals you buy have a limited level of happiness they will ever reach. To get the highest quality products you have to breed your own.
I can see the benefits to that, mostly that it adds incentive to breed instead of buy when it's largely been a useless waste of time before because the wait time takes away from the money you save, but that seems like a bit too extreme of a nerf.

A wonderful life remake please, the only Harvest Moon you can complete! It actually isn't? Top of my head there's also the SNES game, Magical Melody if you marry Jamie, DS if you marry one of the FoMT girls, Save the Homeland (which is designed with multiple playthroughs in mind) and its remake, 64 and Back to Nature have natural stopping points with end credits sequences, Back to Nature for Girls ends when you get married...

Turns out that yes, while the Japanese version still tiptoes around it with the whole, "Best friends," thing, the English translation hidden on the cartridge is entirely explicit about it being gay marriage. Awesome.

Game's out in the west on July 10th.
No clue what the holdup was given there's an English script in the data but whatever, I'm just hyped to finally get the chance to get it.
And now we've got the same character being named Mary, Maria, and now Marie depending on which version of her you're seeing. I hope they keep finding ways to randomly rename her.
Also I love that they make a point of showing a gay marriage in the trailer. What a far cry from DS Cute scrubbing out the already wink-wink-nudge-nudge thing that did.

They wanna remake KOTOR, and now this. These aren't movies, why not just make a new game?
