VGChartz's Issa Maki: "In honor of our parents, neighbors, and compatriots past, let's examine Harvest Moon, the game that takes traditional notions of what RPGs are and turns them upside down. If you had tried to convince me that a farming simulator deserved a spot next to Final Fantasy VII, Diablo, Baldur's Gate, or even Pokémon circa 1998, I would have laughed. These days I pity that ignorance, but I can take my shame and use it as motivation for teaching others about having a more open mind."
this looks sweet, im still playing HOLV. im finally getting a 3DS specifically for this, ill always have a soft spot for harvest moon. i kinda didnt like what i saw of the other one on 3ds, but ill still check it out eventually.
