Does anyone play Harvest Moon games? Or played them before?

I sorta want to try one, but I dunno which ones are the most fun. (and easiest hehe.) I'm not even exactly sure how it works. Is it like Farmville? Where you plant crops and then turn off the game and go back later to harvest?

I was just mentioning breaking the top 100k in the RS hi-scores with my second skill. The two I've passed that mark with are Farming and Construction. And my highest skill is Cooking. So sorta think I would have fun with HM. :)

I love Harvest Moon games. I started on It's a Wonderful Life for PS2. I have also played Tree of Tranquility on wii, and Rune Factory on DS. Plus I've watched my sis play tons of others. Each game is a little different, but basically your goal is to run a successful farm and get married.

What platform are you looking at? The DS games, IMO, are the cutest. ToT was fun but the wii graphics are way gross. Esp when we got a new hi-def tv. Also, never buy the wii ware Harvest Moon shop game. It's awful.

Is there a stopping point in the game where it just ends?

I was looking for DS ones. :)

It depends on the game. For example, in ToT, there's a series of quests you can complete to bring back the Harvest Goddess. However, you can play your farm and not do any of them, and after I did beat them I kept playing because it doesn't end the game. Most of them are kind of like that. At some point, if you have a kid, they can inherit the farm from you too. But I've never played that long because I have a short attention span.

I got Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar for the DS last Xmas but then my DS broke (before I could really play it).I would highly recommend Rune Factory 3 though. It's a "fantasy harvest moon" so you have the farming piece (plus armor, accessories, and herbal/medicine stuff), wooing the ladies in the town, plus a fighting aspect. You can adopt monsters to work in your fields too. I actually played it through twice, I liked it so much.

Are there goblins? :)

I have never heard of that one. I didn't see it when I was looking around. :)

Yeah, I had a goblin pirate. And an onion ghost, a monster cow and sheep, and a squirrel thing I named Killer, among others. You can ride some of the monsters, and they can also go places with you to help you fight.
