--Storyline--
(Translated by Marie)

One winter day...
The protagonist, whose life has been the same day after day,
finds an advertisement in the mailbox.

"We're currently recruiting a new ranch owner!
Wouldn't you like to work with us?"

One week later...
The message saying the protagonist passed the ranch exam arrived.

The protagonist quickly packed their things, and
headed off to “Oak Tree Town,” thrilled about the excitement-filled
ranch life!

Full of life and with a love for children, she is the TV weather girl.

children’s programs and as an announcer, so she’s very busy.
On her days off, she looks after her younger sister,
chats with the elderly, and even in private works to help others,
so she’s popular in town.

"This is a very wonderful town, so I’d love it if more people come to know
about this town’s merits."

She does everything according to a plan, so she doesn’t fare well when unexpected things come up.
She seems mature beyond her years, and doesn’t often let her emotions show.

(Her dialogue in the screenshot)
"...Did you skin your elbows? They are bleeding. Please hold still."

The first news on this game by Harvest!

New Harvest Moon: Connect to The New Land Announced For Nintendo 3DS
Next Year of coming soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

News:

(IMG:http://I.imgur.com/5iwJNk9.jpg)

While Harvest Moon: A New Beginning came out last year in Japan and North America (with a more recent release in Europe,) Marvelous AQL are already working on the next title, called Harvest Moon: Connect to the New Land for Nintendo 3DS.

This week’s issue of Famitsu magazine shares the latest details. Similar to Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, you’ll have the option to pick between a male or female protagonist in Harvest Moon: Connect to the New Land. The farming will also be made to be a little more simple in the upcoming installment; however, the overall flow of the game will be similar to previous Harvest Moon titles.

As you progress through the story, you’ll be able to visit a safari, where you’ll get to encounter and take care of wild animals. In addition to having an increase of wild animals over time, the magazine reports that there will be about twice the variety of animals compared to past titles.

There will also be a new “Trade Station” feature, where crops and dairy products can be traded to other countries. Over time, the amount of countries which you’ll be trading items with will increase, and you’ll also get to visit them on vacations or to deliver items they might need.

Additionally, this time, there will be other ranchers who’ll serve as tutorial purpose characters, each with their own personalities to guide you through different aspects of the game. Harvest Moon: Connect to the New Land will also bring back fishing, and there will also be other features that involve playing in rivers.

Something interesting to note is that, the meaning of “Connect” in the title implies communication features, but it shares another meaning of “connecting to the game’s world”. A Streetpass feature will also be available for you to share personal data with other players.


Harvest Moon: Connect to the New Land is slated for release on February 2014 for Nintendo 3DS.

The funny thing is, I wouldn't have classified the customization in ANB as great when I played it. It wasn't until I played Animal Crossing, where the customization was absolute shit, that I realized just how good the customization in ANB was in comparison.

I would like to see that return, but honestly, if it's just not feasible, I won't be too upset. I'll just have to let my guy be a guy and woo the girls. I've done it a million times. No big deal. What worries me is that line where he says that they're making farming simpler. It's already ridiculously simple. Why does it need to be simpler? I'm hoping that he just means that they're taking out the freshness scale or something like that, rather than actually watering down the farming aspect. I'd like to play Harvest Moon, not Wild Animal Menagerie: The Game.
