Harvest Moon
Twin Villages

As the name suggests there'll be two villages that are at the feet of a mountain, each one with a respective mayor and villagers, and, unfortunately, you can only chose one to live but there's a possibility that you can move from one to the other, but you'll have to return to the one you choose at the beggining of the game to sleep, save...
There are the European themed Bluebell, and the Japanese styled Konohana
That choice is up to you, and it'll be affected by what exactly you want to do in this game. Bluebell is primarily focused on animals and livestock;
Konohana is much more involved with crops, meanwhile, from rice to fruits and vegetables.
It'll be your job to become successful in whatever you decide to concentrate on.
You'll be able to have a Rice field in Konohana or make sweets in Bluebell!
You'll be able to have your own owl, and you can be invited to go on a date!
You only have one kind of clothes for Konohana and one for Bluebell.
You'll also be able to communicate with another DS and play minigames.
And that's not the only news! You'll be able to rise alpacas (llamas)!!!!!
You can also select your protagonist's gender, here are they:
