For instance, each crop has certain seasons and regions of the world it grows better in.
“And like the exploration angle, One World's farming has several interesting new ideas that might have made for an exciting new direction had it been handled differently.
Harvest Wisps scattered throughout the world will hand you one seed per day per wisp, meaning much of your ability to actually use your farm is also tied to exploring the world. So instead of buying seeds at the store, you have to hunt them down. The Harvest Goddess is, as usual in Harvest Moon games, absent, which has caused everyone in the world to just forget how farming and seeds work. With an empty world and a soulless cast, that leaves the actual farming to carry One World… and it doesn’t. A definitive ranking of all people you can marry in Harvest Moon: One World: Bachelors And since One World doesn't really signal to you who is and isn't dateable for quite a while, I spent a lot of time handing gifts to Kirsi for no reason. The developers say this feature was missed due to COVID-19, and that it will be present in future games, but it's still massively frustrating when so many other games offer it. “Oh, and you can't be queer, despite Harvest Moon's competitors Story of Seasons and Stardew Valley having recognized what year it is already.
And that’s a terrible idea because again, these characters tend to disappear completely at certain times of day, sometimes right in front of your eyes, and sometimes as you’re about to turn in a quest. The vast majority of the cast is made up of same-looking individuals with names like "Awkward Man" or "Thoughtful Woman" whose only personality trait is sending you endless mail to ask you to bring them random items. Unlike other Harvest Moon games where you get to know a town of distinct and personable neighbors, there are few actual developed characters in One World outside of its roster of bachelors and bachelorettes and one other named character in each area. The aesthetics of One World are not where the mundanity ends. (But then, that was before the original developer went off to make Story of Seasons instead). As much as I despise calling anything "X-era graphics," the GameCube version of Harvest Moon was far more detailed and exciting to look at than this. It’s especially bad when you're riding your horse. Characters and objects appear and disappear from existence – sometimes on purpose according to their respective schedules, but sometimes just because they're not loading in fast enough. Sound frequently sputters when you’re moving from area to area. “It also sometimes does not work correctly. You'll park your farm in one spot for a season, finish whatever local plot is in front of you, and then move on.

Rather, you’re handed a portable farm (your scientist neighbor turns up on your doorstep and says “Look, I made you a portable farm” and that’s the end of the discussion) in the first 10 minutes and sent off on an adventure across its world, through five different towns with their own climates, hazards, and problems. And yet One World fails in just about every way to do anything interesting or innovative with this new idea other than layer it on top of a deeply mediocre farming sim.Unlike its numerous Harvest Moon predecessors and competitors, One World does not have you inherit an old farm in a dying village and spend years rebuilding them, getting to know your neighbors, and generally settling down.

And in the right hands, turning a farming simulator series into a plot-driven, exploration-focused adventure game sounds like a brilliant idea. Somewhere in Harvest Moon: One World there's a really interesting seed of an idea for a new take on farming sims, which would be much appreciated after 25 years of very similar games.
