HARVESTELLA

見た目は面白そうで、ずっと気になっていたのでプレイ 不評な理由が分かった気がする。 ゲームあまりしたことない人間が作ったゲームだと思う。 絵は魅力的です。ただ、それだけ。この会社あるあるだけど。

Horrible controls. Not even worth playing with such controls. It's like the keys have been assigned by a person had never even seen a keyboard or played any games on a PC in their life.

This game is so special and underrated; I didn't play the game till 2.5 years after release due to mixed reviews, and that is really unfortunate. More JRPG than farm sim, the story and characters are the game's strongest aspects. While there are many ways the game could be improved upon, it's clear the devs put so much love and effort into making the best game they could on a small budget. Frankly, the clunkiness almost works in its favor for me - like a PS2 era title that was engrossing in spite of whatever flaws existed in the writing, controls, or voice acting. Maybe that is the older gamer in me speaking. Despite being a modern title, I feel nostalgic playing Harvestella. It reminds me so deeply of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, while simultaneously being a distinctly different gaming experience. The music is truly top notch. It is a crime the soundtrack is not available in the USA. If you're going to play this game, do it because you love story-heavy games. There is a focus on developing relationships with the people you come in contact with, whether they are general NPCs (who get surprising amounts of depth and screentime) or party companions. The major characters essentially have Social Links similar to what you'd find in the Persona series. There is no romance, but this is not an issue for me as the platonic bonds you forge and progress provide similar fulfillment; I wouldn't say they are intentionally highlighting platonic relationships, but it is nice to see the game not centered around romance somehow. The farming elements are there, but they are not the focus of the game. You're really encouraged to engage with it for the money rewards, and it likewise feeds into the cooking system. You heal and replenish stamina via the meals you cook almost exclusively, but the game doesn't hinge on any of these things. They really are there to compliment your progression through the world/plot. Eating particular meals at save points also initiates small scenes of dialogue similar to skits in the Tales Of franchise. Overall, I highly recommend this game if any of the above appeals to you. I bought it half-off around $30, and I feel the money was well worth it. It's a great game to get on sale. Truly hope Harvestella gets a sequel or spiritual successor one day. The format is wonderful and could be even more incredible with some iteration.

Holy F--K Square Enix For a triple A company they could have put a least some effort NOT using the same template to make the character. For f--k sake make a damn male base character and a separate female character. Don't just make the same character with breasts and without. So your character looks like a transgender.

決してスローライフを楽しむゲームではない ですがストーリー＋ダンジョン探索＋畑が程よくミックスされていて 真エンディングまで楽しめました。 しかしどうしても納得いかない点がひとつだけ。 スプリンクラーLV3レシピがFearコンプを含む位置に配置されているはおかしい。 畑をフル活用したいのは中盤から終盤にかけてのお金・高位食事が欲しいあたりなのに Fearコンプした後に手に入れても、そのころにはもう畑を使う目的が無くなっているのでは？ 手段と目的が入れ替わってしまっています。おしすぎる。

ヒロインを世界ごと救いに行く、 これ以上に熱い展開はないでしょう。

This game can be a bit of a slow start, however, I am exactly the target audience. If you don't mind that this game takes like 4ish hours to get good and 40ish hours to get great, then have at it.
