GC Bokujou Monogatari: Shiawase no Uta for World - New
NCS Synopsis    As if the life of a farmer wasn't enough of a chore, the latest Harvest Moon game throws all of the usual farm problems at the player and an ambitious arch-rival named Rion. The rival competes for the sale of produce, total shipments made, and Happiness Music Notes (to revive the Harvest Goddess). It's enough to turn gentlemen farmers into conniving jackals. Sadly, there's still no futures market for commodity price hedging and speculation but perhaps in the next Harvest Moon... Players may choose to play as a male or female farmer at the outset of the game.    Once settled on the farm, Ellen will pay a visit and give the player a dog as a gift. In addition to a dog, the player may also bring a well-mannered pig into the house as a second pet. There's a large assortment of seeds to sow and a useful tactic is to water the soil before planting which will make seeds sprout and grow faster. The pre-watering also somehow increases the sale price of the produce when its time to harvest and ship to market. For amorous farmers, the pool of potential mates is larger than previous Harvest Moon games with a total of 10 possible husbands or wives for the protagonist to romance and wed. Bokujou Monogatari (Farm Story) Shiawase no Shi is also known as "Harvest Moon: Poem of Happiness."    Please note this game is an enhancement of the original Shiawase no Shi. New features include the ability to marry Rion if you can get along with her and convince her that you really can revive the Harvest Goddess, a new festival, and all of the glitches (lock-ups, time stop, fishing glitch, etc) that were present in the original release have now been fixed.
