[Accidentally The...]

I remember reading about the original game for the SNES in a copy of EGM2 (at least, I'm PRETTY sure it was EGM2 and not Nintendo Power)... ah, I miss EGM2. Introduced me to Suikoden, too. And Final Fantasy.

Anyway... HM sounded unlike any game I'd ever played before in my life (much in the same way they got me interested in Suikoden), and I had a chance to try it out from a rental store. I loved how relaxing and fun it was. No fighting monsters, level-grinding, no platforming or racing or any real competition. I think that's what's stuck with me throughout. The series in general is pretty laid-back, but not so much so that you get bored (though there are exceptions, there's usually plenty to do).

The atmosphere in most settings is very cozy and somehow nostalgic (there are many towns I wish I could live in), the socialization and romance aspects are really fun as you uncover more and more dialogue and learn more about each villager (even if they're fairly bland), and I really love the interaction.

Plus, it gets me in a fanfic mood. Gets the creative juices flowing, and I do love to write. The games are open-ended enough that you could reasonably expand on them in a myriad of ways.
