User Info: arcaneja arcaneja (Topic Creator) 5 years ago #3 Section 3 - FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)



Q) Is this a “Harvest Moon” game?

A) Yes and no. The series called “Harvest Moon” is known as “Bokujou Monogatari” (Farm Story) in Japan. Prior to 2014, all “Bokujou Monogatari” games were localized by Natsume as “Harvest Moon” in other locales. 2014 and onward, all “Bokujou Monogatari” games will be localized by XSEED Games (Marvelous USA) as “Story of Seasons”.

You may also see people referring to “Bokujou Monogatari” as “BokuMono”, as it is incredibly common in Japanese to abbreviate the game’s title this way.



Q) Wait, so “Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley” isn’t a Harvest Moon game?

A) “Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley” isn’t a “Bokujou Monogatari” game, but it is a “Harvest Moon” game, as Natsume owns that name and developed “Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley” in house. It is the start of a new “Harvest Moon” series made by Natsume.

Please research this game before purchasing it, as many BokuMono fans found it lacking. If you like “Minecraft”, and you like the older style of “Harvest Moon”, it can be a very enjoyable game.



Q) “Story of Seasons” looks a lot like “Harvest Moon: A New Beginning”, why is that?

A) “Harvest Moon: A New Beginning” is the game prior to “Story of Seasons” in the “Bokujou Monogatari” series.



Q) How does the in-game time system work? Does time stop when you’re indoors?

A) It is the same as “Harvest Moon: A New Beginning”. The clock will tick away 1 minute for each 1 second of real time. You can also pause the clock by talking to someone, or opening a menu.

Time does not stop while you’re indoors.



Q) I’ve heard there are two difficulty modes? What are they? What’s the difference between the two.

A) There are two difficulty modes. Original Mode is the original difficulty, as the game was first released in Japan. Seedling Mode is an easier mode, suggested to Marvelous by XSEED Games, which was patched into the Japanese version of the game and will be included on the physical cartridge and the Nintendo 3DS eShop release of the North American Version of the Game.



Original Mode

- The original difficulty level.



Seedling Mode

- Stamina consumption lowered by 50%

- Stores will sell things for 30% less money than in Original Mode.

- More items will be stocked by the stores each day.

- Shipping requirements to unlock things lowered by 30%.

A) I’d be happy to provide a list of some of the differences and similarities. Keep in mind these are just the highlights, there are more differences between the two games.



- Expect a generally better localization. ANB had some issues with spelling, grammar, and untranslated terms, as well as rather flat or even confusing personalities. These should all be much better in SoS, though the personalities is a matter of opinion. I like the characters in SoS better. ;)

- There are two difficulty modes, Original Mode (normal) and Seedling Mode (easier). I have explained these in greater detail in the previous question.

- SoS’s tutorial lasts one week, as opposed to ANB’s tutorial that was nearly a whole month.

- Hoarding isn’t as needed. It is pretty smart to hold onto Building Materials, Weeds, and Seedstock, but almost everything else can be shipped. If you felt like something was generally useful in ANB, it will probably be useful in SoS (like Bees), but there aren’t crazy requirements for unlocking new villagers. However, hoarding items until there’s a Conquest (farming rival system) is a good idea.

- Shops only stock a certain amount of each item each day. If you’re playing Seedling Mode, they will have more stock of each item.

- You can only buy certain things at the various Country Vendors that come to your Trade Plaza, so finding out the requirements to unlock them is very smart. I’ll cover this in detail later on.

- SoS’s character customization is very similar to ANB’s.

- SoS’s farm customization is very similar to ANB’s.

- SoS’s Bookcase keeps track of a great deal more information for you than ANB’s Bookcase did, so check it out! You can also rename certain things from the Bookcase!

- Dating is very similar to ANB’s, the Ring > Feather system is back. (Boo!) Instead of buying the Ring, you will have to craft it yourself in the Sewing Shed.

- You can purchase 3 different styles of Wedding. Depending on which Wedding you choose, the style will be either Western, Eastern, or a choice of either. Choosing the more expensive styles will accelerate the Pregnancy event.

- In addition to celebrating your Birthdays and Anniversary together with your spouse, you can go on an annual vacation together, which will play a small cutscene and grant you a souvenir.

- You will always have twins, a boy and a girl. They will take some characteristics from your spouse. There isn’t any Grow-Up Candy like in ANB, so your child will stop growing around the Child (Walking) stage.

- There are still blueprints so that you can customize your house and farm, and to a small extent, the town.

- You no longer have to build the town. The town is prebuilt and contains most of the villagers from the start of the game.

- All crafting is now done by you. Want a new Outfit? Get a Sewing Shed and a Clothing Pattern. Also, expect to see some familiar outfits from ANB and other games in the BokuMono series!

- You have to upgrade your house once to be able to change your skin color, clothing, hairstyle, hair color, face style, and eye color.

- You can crossdress in this game. If you are a boy, you can not choose the girl’s facial options, and if you are playing as a girl, you can not choose the boy’s facial options. Everything else is fair game.

- There are accessories and accessory combinations now. You can make and wear things such as hats, eyeglasses, rings, necklaces, and earrings. Equip the right set of ring, necklace, and earrings and you might receive a bonus!

- There are a lot more tool upgrades. Upgrading your tools will reduce the amount of Stamina and time needed to do everything, so once your tools are fully upgraded, you’ll be farming and raising livestock with ease.

- There are a lot of Maker Sheds. Maker Sheds are quite different, they work similar to Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar's Windmills. where each item has a set amount of time it must process before it is finished. However, there are added steps. EG: To make seeds in the Seed Maker Shed, first you have to dehydrate the crop in the Crop Dehydrator, then you place the dehydrated crop into the Seed Maker portion of the Seed Maker Shed to get seeds.

- New Livestock. There are 15 different types of Livestock. 3 Cows (Cow, Jersey Cow, Zebu), 2 Sheep (Sheep, Suffolk Sheep). 2 Alpacas (White Alpaca, Brown Alpaca), Llamas, Angora Goats, Camels, 3 Chickens (Chicken, Silkie Chicken, Araucana Chicken), and 2 Rabbits (Angora Rabbit, Black Angora Rabbit.)

- Dogs are now the only Pet that herds, although you can still acquire pet Cats (they might bring you presents) and a Horse.

- There’s quite a time investment if you want to unlock all these animals, as they are locked by the Year and Season. It takes 4 game years to unlock every animal. Unlike ANB, you can not unlock animals more quickly by breeding them in SoS.

- The Livestock Treats system has been streamlined, and the game will take care of tracking it for you, so you can see how far you are away from Moo or Bessie making 2 milks instead of 1. Just feed them their Specific Treats (IE: Cow Treat, Sheep Treat) to make the bar move quickly, or feed them Generic Treats to make the bar move more slowly.

- There are no more herding cutscenes. Other cutscenes can either be skipped by pressing the “X” button or sped up by holding the “X” button.

- Farming works differently as well. Each action you perform with a tool, seeds, fertilizer, or by hand will hit a 3x3 square plot. This doesn’t really decrease the difficulty level of the game.

- Just as in ANB, you can water crops twice a day to help them grow faster, unless it is raining.

- Rival System for Farming, called Conquest. There are 4 other Farmers living in Oak Tree Town, and you must win extra fields from them to grow certain crops, grow crops faster, or start Beekeeping or Mushroom Farming.

- Some new crops and different crops from ANB. You can no longer grow the wild herbs you gather. (Double boo!)

- New Mario themed crops, just for fun. They have some effect on the plots of land around them, so make sure to plant them in the center of a group of plots.

- New foraging ability: jumping. While jumping has been in many past BokuMono titles, you can now jump in certain secret spots to have a small chance of collecting useful items.

- You can now swim by jumping off the fishing docks, and collect items by diving when you see an “!” over your character’s head.

- No more Fish Traps.

- No more Fishing Shed. Replacing both Fish Traps and Fishing Shed is a Fishing Hatchery you can place into the river to raise fish and increase their star level, very similar to other livestock mechanics, as it might break if you don’t check on it every day.

- No Shipping Box. This game revolves around the idea of attracting other countries to send wandering traders to your town, so if you want to sell items, make sure to visit the Trade Plaza when a Vendor is in town. You can check when a Vendor is in town by checking the Calendar in your house.

What can you do when all the stars in the sky belong to you? - There are more house upgrades, and once you reach the final level, you can select from one of 11 different house exteriors, including the default style.- There are a lot more tool upgrades.

- There’s a StreetPass mode similar to “Animal Crossing: New Leaf” or “Fantasy Life”. Once you StreetPass another 3DS, their character will appear randomly in your town, and you can talk to them to see details about their character and farm.

- Replacing ANB’s Mine, Vacation Spots, Animal Sanctuary and Gardening Tour is a multipurpose area called the Safari. In SoS, you can do a variety of activities in the Safari.



Q) How do I unlock the Vendors?

A) Each country has a requirement to unlock. Some have a secondary requirement of Year and Season to unlock, so make sure you’ve both shipped the required total of money and specified items, and also that you’re either in or past the required Year and Season. Also, you may need to unlock a previous vendor first.



Silk Country

- Unlocked from the start of the game.



Cabin Country

- Shipped 100,000 G worth of items total.

- Year 1, Summer



Sakura Country

- Shipped 200,000 G worth of items total.

- Year 1, Fall



Komugi Country

- Unlock Sakura Country

- Shipped 500,000 G worth of items total.



Rose Country

- Unlock Sakura Country

- Shipped 1,000,000 G worth of items total.



Ice Country

- Ship 3,000,000 G worth of items total.

- Original Mode: Shipped 100 Fences, 200 Decoration Objects, 200 Garden Objects, 100 Streets, 100 Furniture Objects, and 100 Wallpapers and/or Flooring.

- Seedling Mode: Shipped 70 Fences, 140 Decoration Objects, 140 Garden Objects, 70 Streets, 70 Furniture Objects, and 70 Wallpapers and/or Flooring.



Tropical Country

- Ship 3,000,000 G worth of items total.

Original Mode: Shipped 100 Tools, 500 Seeds, 15,000 Crops, 15,000 Cooked Dishes, 10,000 Processed Goods, and 600 Clothing Outfits.

- Seedling Mode: Shipped 70 Tools, 350 Seeds, 10,500 Crops, 10,500 Cooked Dishes, 7,000 Processed Goods, and 420 Clothing Outfits.



Q) Where’s my (ITEM/ANIMAL/TOOL/SEED/RECIPE/BLUEPRINT/PATTERN/ETC)?

A) For some things, you’ll have to create them yourself. See the Tips section below. For others, you might have to upgrade your tools. The Mining Node, for example, won’t provide higher quality Ores unless you upgrade your Hammer. Certain things can be found while Fishing, or while swimming and diving when you see an “!”. Yet other things might require you to win a Festival or take your livestock animals to the Safari to upgrade the quality of their goods. And then there are items and recipes that will show up once you raise your reputation with the various vendors or ship a lot of items thorough that vendor, or they will unlock at the vendor over time. For example, some livestock animals will not unlock until you’re in the 4th Year! You can also get certain cooking recipes by eating at Raeger’s Cafe. As you can see, there are a lot of different ways to unlock every item in this game.



Q) How do I get the Fishing Pole? What about upgrading my Fishing Pole?

A) Walk in to Otmar’s General Store on Year 1, Spring 28th or later to get the basic Fishing Pole.

To upgrade your Fishing Pole, you must unlock Tropical Country, as they sell the Blueprints for the upgraded Fishing Pole.

What can you do when all the stars in the sky belong to you? - Multiplayer works differently. You visit each other's farms, not the Animal Sanctuary (ANB) map. The trading has been restricted. You can trade stacks of up to 5 items at a time. One player hosts, and gives away 3 gifts/stacks of gifts, while each visiting player brings 1 gift/stack of gifts. You must pick up your traded gifts at the Guild Office before you can use Multiplayer again. You can’t do Animal Care in Multiplayer anymore, instead each player gets a “Magic Wand” that acts as sort of a mini-fertilizer for crops and trees, and also works as a mini-happiness increase for animals.- There’s a StreetPass mode similar to “Animal Crossing: New Leaf” or “Fantasy Life”. Once you StreetPass another 3DS, their character will appear randomly in your town, and you can talk to them to see details about their character and farm.- Replacing ANB’s Mine, Vacation Spots, Animal Sanctuary and Gardening Tour is a multipurpose area called the Safari.

Also, you may need to unlock a previous vendor first.Silk Country- Unlocked from the start of the game.Cabin Country- Shipped 100,000 G worth of items total.- Year 1, SummerSakura Country- Shipped 200,000 G worth of items total.- Year 1, FallKomugi Country- Unlock Sakura Country- Shipped 500,000 G worth of items total.Rose Country- Unlock Sakura Country- Shipped 1,000,000 G worth of items total.Ice Country- Ship 3,000,000 G worth of items total.- Original Mode: Shipped 100 Fences, 200 Decoration Objects, 200 Garden Objects, 100 Streets, 100 Furniture Objects, and 100 Wallpapers and/or Flooring.- Seedling Mode: Shipped 70 Fences, 140 Decoration Objects, 140 Garden Objects, 70 Streets, 70 Furniture Objects, and 70 Wallpapers and/or Flooring.Tropical Country- Ship 3,000,000 G worth of items total.Original Mode: Shipped 100 Tools, 500 Seeds, 15,000 Crops, 15,000 Cooked Dishes, 10,000 Processed Goods, and 600 Clothing Outfits.- Seedling Mode: Shipped 70 Tools, 350 Seeds, 10,500 Crops, 10,500 Cooked Dishes, 7,000 Processed Goods, and 420 Clothing Outfits.Q) Where’s my (ITEM/ANIMAL/TOOL/SEED/RECIPE/BLUEPRINT/PATTERN/ETC)?A) For some things, you’ll have to create them yourself. See the Tips section below. For others, you might have to upgrade your tools. The Mining Node, for example, won’t provide higher quality Ores unless you upgrade your Hammer. Certain things can be found while Fishing, or while swimming and diving when you see an “!”. Yet other things might require you to win a Festival or take your livestock animals to the Safari to upgrade the quality of their goods. And then there are items and recipes that will show up once you raise your reputation with the various vendors or ship a lot of items thorough that vendor, or they will unlock at the vendor over time. For example, some livestock animals will not unlock until you’re in the 4th Year! You can also get certain cooking recipes by eating at Raeger’s Cafe. As you can see, there are a lot of different ways to unlock every item in this game.Q) How do I get the Fishing Pole? What about upgrading my Fishing Pole?A) Walk in to Otmar’s General Store on Year 1, Spring 28th or later to get the basic Fishing Pole.To upgrade your Fishing Pole, you must unlock Tropical Country, as they sell the Blueprints for the upgraded Fishing Pole.(Continued) (edited 5 years ago )

A) A lot of different ways. You can ship items through them, fulfill their shipping requests (ask Jonas), sell them items that are in high demand, and so on.



Q) Raeger isn’t giving me any Cooking Recipes at all! Why is that?

A) You have to first have your own kitchen, and then also buy all of the Basic level Cooking Recipes before Raeger will start giving you more Cooking Recipes when you eat at his Cafe. Don’t worry, eating there once a day will still count toward your total amount of times, so go ahead and eat there every day when your Stamina is low.



Q) Why isn’t my Fruit Tree producing any fruit?

A) Each Tree will take a certain amount of in-game time to grow. The amount of time each tree takes to grow varies, so be sure to check the item’s description before planting. If a tree takes 1 ½ months to grow, expect it to only start producing fruit after it has been planted for roughly 45 days. After a tree is fully grown, it will start to flower when it is in the appropriate season. After a few days, the flowers will vanish, and the tree’s fruit will be on the ground for you to collect!



Q) What’s up with saving Weeds? Aren’t they stupid junk items?

A) Nope! In this game, each vendor will sell a limited amount of items per day, so the item “Fertilizer” can be in short supply. (Seedling Mode players will undoubtedly benefit by the daily extra shop stock, but Original Mode players may find themselves running out.). Luckily for you, you can make Fertilizer once you have the Seed Maker Shed! Just chuck a Weed into the Composting Bin, wait 3 minutes, and Presto! Fertilizer.



Q) What does “more limited trading” through Multiplayer mean, exactly?

A) There are some items that are ineligible to trade. Here’s a sample list of some of the items which are restricted from trading, courtesy of BigBangBaby of the fogu forums.



- Sikie Eggs

- Aracuna Eggs

- Gold Seeds

- Gold Produce

- Gold Eggs

- Great Products (Milk, Wool, etc)

- Colored Downs

- Some of the outfits

- Some accessories

- All rings and earrings

- Red and Blue Pearls

- Orichalcum

- Adamantite

- Mithril

- Platinum

- Pink Diamond

- House Decoration (Furniture, Wallpaper, etc)

- Tools



Q) Wow, trading is so limited now! Is there anything good I can bring to the Multiplayer?

A) Absolutely!. Many people will forget to save certain items needed early on (see the Tips section below), so certain items will always be in demand. In addition, you can trade most of the Cooking Dishes, so if you know your friend is courting a certain bachelor or bachelorette, and you have the recipe for their favorite dish, you can trade that dish to them. You can also trade non-Golden Crops and Seeds, so you can help your friend out with a 5-Star Turnip (or better yet, a 5-Star Turnip Seed) to win their Spring Harvest Festival.



Q) Which characters can you marry?

A) If you’re playing as a boy, you can marry Agate, Angela, Elise, Iris, Licorice, or Lillie.

If you’re playing as a girl, you can marry Fritz, Kamil, Klaus, Mistel, Nadi, or Raegar.



Q) Help! My chosen future spouse isn’t available yet! When does he/she unlock? Also, why can’t I see Elise’s Flower Events?

A) Four of the candidates unlock later. They are: Agate (Fall Year 1), Nadi (Winter Year 1), Kamil (Spring Year 2) and Licorice (Summer Year 2).

Elise has a hidden requirement in order for you to marry her, and is the hardest marriage candidate in terms of time investment. You can start to see her Flower Events only AFTER you have already seen her Rival Farmer Events. The soonest you can see all of these events is by Winter of Year 2.

What can you do when all the stars in the sky belong to you? Q) So how do I raise my reputation with those vendors to unlock items?A) A lot of different ways.

A) You must be dating before you can see the rest of your chosen future spouse’s Flower Events. You can get married once you see all of their events, you have the Blue Feather from Otmar’s General Store (unlocked in Year 2, Spring) and you have the Large Farm House, you can get married.

The Dating and Marriage systems are incredibly similar to “Harvest Moon: A New Beginning”, including the Reverse Ring Confession, Reverse Marriage Proposal, and Breaking Up.



Q) What about the personalities of the various characters? Are they better than in the other recent BokuMono games?

A) That’s really a matter of personal taste and opinion. As the game is localized by XSEED, expect for things to be improved in this area from ANB.



Q) How am I supposed to win Conquests?

A) Either by hoarding and shipping a lot of items during the Conquest period, or by winning a Festival. Each of these options gets more difficult every season, and there is a certain amount of randomness to each competitor and their items at each Festival. Make sure to save before a Festival, so that if you lose, you can try again.



Q) What happens if I lose a field in Conquest?

A) Your rival will remove all of your crops, trees, bees, or mushrooms, so make sure to harvest everything before a challenge.



Q) That sucks! Is there any way to extend my lease on each field?

A) Absolutely. Ask Veronica at the Guild Office to extend your lease before it expires.



Q) My crops are marked “Fresh”! Oh no, is there a Freshness System like in “Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness”, “Harvest Moon: Sunshine Islands”, and “Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns”? Will my food rot?

A) No! The “Fresh” system in this game applies only to crops. It provides a boost to your crop’s attributes for winning Festivals, and will increase the selling price. Crops will be marked as “Fresh” for 3 days, and then it will become a normal crop.



Q) When do I get a Barn? A Coop? How many animals can I keep in each one? Can I have more than one Barn and Coop per Farm Area?

A) You get a Barn (and a Cow) for free when you build your first upgraded House. You can build a Coop after buying the Blueprint. Each Barn can hold 8 livestock animals, each Coop can hold 8 Chickens, or 6 Chickens and 2 Rabbits. You can have more than one Barn and Coop per Farm Area.



Q) What about the Pet House and Pets?

A) Horses live in the Barn, of course. Dogs and Cats will live in the Pet House. You can only have 1 Pet House per Farm Area. Horses are good for fast travel if you have a healthy stock of Carrots, Dogs will herd your livestock, and Cats will sometimes bring you back gifts.



Q) Do I have to buy Chicken Feed? What about making my own Chicken Feed?

A) Yes, you still have to feed your chickens through a Chicken Feed. You can buy these or you can make them yourself once you have a Seasoning Maker Shed.



Q) The UNoT Guide covers the Bachelors and Bachelorettes quite well, but what are some of the other Villagers liked items? I want to befriend everyone!

A) http://mariethecrocheter.tumblr.com/post/108471078318/favourite-item-liked-gifts-villager-ver and

User Info: arcaneja arcaneja (Topic Creator) 5 years ago #9 Section 4 - Story of Seasons Tips and Hints



[GENT] Subsection 1: General Tips



I owe many of these to the user BigBangBaby on the fogu forums, as well as from other users who either played the Japanese version or got “Story of Seasons” earlier than the release date.



Starting A New Game



- Save 5 Turnip Seeds from Spring. It can become hard to get them after Spring. You need these to make the Seed Maker Shed.

- Save 5 Bricks, or at least work on stockpiling some Bricks from Swimming. You need these to create the Seed Maker Shed.

- Save 5 Iron, or at least work on stockpiling some Iron from Swimming. You need these to craft the Pitchfork Tool.

- Save 5 Milks for one of Elise’s Rival events.

- Try to create the Seed Maker Shed very early, as it can be hard to win the Harvest Festival on the 30th of each month. Having a Seed Maker Shed means that you can not only use your Fertilized Crops to make Seeds that start at a higher Star Level, but you can also use the Composting Bin to create more Fertilizer. Just chuck weeds in there!

- Save all the Wood and Stones you find.

- Try Swimming and Diving when you see an “!” every day in order to get 5 Bricks and Iron, as well as other useful items.

- You can save before Swimming and reload if you didn’t get the items you were looking for.

- Try Swimming under the bridge to access more “!” Diving events each day.

- Try Jumping in suspicious areas to have a 30% chance of finding useful items.

- Fertilize and save Fertilized crops for Seedstock.

- Only water the crops you’re Fertilizing once per day. This will make the crop grow slower but you will be able to Fertilize it more.

- Entering a “Fresh” Crop into the Harvest Festival will increase its chances of winning.

- To get Peaches in the first year, make sure you plant a Peach Seedling on or before Year 1, Spring 10th. This will give the tree time to grow and flower during Year 1, Summer.

- Give gifts and talk to the Villagers. This will let you see events.

- Try and see all the Rival Farmer events as fast as possible. Light Spoiler: Some of these events are not available past Winter of Year 1, so make sure to befriend your Rivals!

- If you have extra farming space, grow some plain old trees. You can turn the wood you get from chopping them down once they’re grown into a lot of different items.

- You can see every Villager’s affection level by hitting “L” when you’re standing near them. An icon will then float over their head. This will scale from the patented BokuMono “angry swirl” all the way up to “hearts”.

- Keep your livestock Stress Free, or else it will run away and hide in the town! If you still don’t lower its Stress level, it might get sick and even die!

- Eat at Raeger’s Cafe. Not only can you restore your Stamina, you can also get Cooking Recipes from him once you’ve gotten a Kitchen and all the Basic Recipes. You need to eat there about 130 times to get all of Raeger’s recipes, and the game keeps track of it for you, so the sooner you start, the better!



Making Money



- Upgrade your House ASAP, which comes with a free Barn. Once you have a Barn, you’ll get a Cow for free. - You can Milk the Cow every day, and if you grow some Fodder Grass, you can feed your Cow for free as well!

- Early on, you can sometimes cook things that will sell for more than the item is worth raw. Try making Grilled Fish out of the cheaper Fish, or Turnip Salad out of low Star Turnips.

- Use the Maker Sheds to process items. Most processed items are worth a lot more than the ingredients used to process them.
