What do you think the next Harvest Moon should be like? Options

[Harvest_Moon_Luv...]

Hey guys here is where you can discuss what you think the next Harvest Moon should be like. The characters, the village, etc.

Two generations, totally. Where you can start over as your kid, but instead of going to the same island again like in ToT's New Game+, the other village kids age up and become the starting set of candidates, and more people keep moving to the town.
Kinda like AWL, but with non-suckish farming mechanics (truer to the classic style. Actually, AP's farming mechanics are pretty much fantastic. But with a pasture like in ToT, where the animals will actually autonomously eat the grass. That's the one reason I don't like keeping livestock in AP.)
Well, I guess what I'm thinking is not like, the chapter-thing, but activated in the manner of a NG+ in ToT and AP, except your kid doesn't leave. As soon as your kid would grow up, you could start the next generation whenever you wanted. Which would eliminate the need to go through ANOTHER ROUND OF TUTORIALS, 'cause your kid grew up on a farm and SHOULD know how things work.
Or you could choose not to start over as your kid, have them stop aging at their teenage years, and have them frolic off and flirt with whatever rival kid tickles their (I.e. your) fancy.
But everyone ages up separately, unlike AWL. I didn't like AWL. I don't want it to be too much like it. (There were SO too few characters in that game.)

More events, so the game doesn't start going stale. More things to do after marriage, too.

Character customization is always nice. Even if it's something so minor as hair and eye color, and of course clothing customization. No major slide-for-rotation-of-nose-bridge customization, just hair and eye color would be fine. And hairstyle. And I wanna style my kids' hair. I wanted two long-haired kids in AP.
And that extends to genetics; the kid has a chance of getting my hair color or the spouse's hair color, and same goes for eyes.

Really, though. I mean a full-blown gay option. As in, when I play as a girl, I wanna be able to marry a girl.
But there's no way it's going to make it into an E-rated game. Hmph. I'd settle for "Best Friends," then.

But all that's probably too much for the Wii to handle. >> Or for the programmers to handle. I'unno. But it seems like it would take up a lot of space.

Agreed. There shouldn't be anymore of that kind of discrimination. I'm not gay myself, but I do think it's a bit unfair to gay players to basically force them to play as a straight character when the character is supposed to represent the player.
