I'm a huge fan of Harvest Moon and similar farming 'simulation/role playing' games. My favorite was
A Wonderful Life on the Gamecube, a close second would be
Runefactory 4 for the 3DS.
Story of Seasons is a newer release from Marvelous/XSEED for the 3DS - Natsume owns the 'Harvest Moon' name, so they were unable to run with that trademark and took a new turn. About a month after Story of Seasons came out, I got it and... well... I kind of don't like it.

Now,
I'm pretty alone here - and it really bothers me that I don't like it. I
want to like it. The graphics are fine, the mechanics are fine, they have all the same attributes that previous games had, and a bunch of cool new stuff! Well, it would be cool I guess, if I could actually experience it.
Please note, tons of plot and gameplay will be revealed in this post, i.e.
spoilers.
