  • My own self-made Harvest Moon Iceberg has been done and on my Twitter for a long time, but it took me forever to make the video, and now it's finally done! Yay! I feel like the video could be way better, so maybe I'll redo it some day, but I'm happy I've done this.

      I feel like they intentionally made witch princess specifically for the gays. I'm not lesbian but from what I've heard girls who look like her are widely crushed on. like how Justin Bieber is with straight girls? yeah that.
      my evidence is that they tried to implement gay marriage for sapphic couples specifically. they knew. Marvelous knew.
      Had it not been for Natsume... Witch Princess would've been a much more popular bachelorette because honestly she's probably only not popular because the game she's from has many many glitches related to marrying her so not many people are willing to take the risk...
      I hope they make a remake of DS Cute though. specifically Cute because it's fixed, and cute.
      plus they'll probably have to tone down the animal sacrifice thing. they'll probably have it be like, sell 30 fertilized eggs without a full coop. since

    This iceberg really has me wanting to see a harvest moon like that can function as a completely normal small town sim but has some creepy stuff if you decide to investigate weird events. If a game like Pumpkin Panic can pull off the farming under stress format so well with so little dialog, there's serious potential to make something even scarier if you make a game like that a slower burn.

    Great video, loved it & lots of stuff I did not know yet.
    I have a theory about the "Chick Beam"! Afer the pop song "Koi no Dance Site" from Morning Musume, one of their members had the "Sexy Beam" which was basically a joke dance move to enthrall their (mostly) male fans & make them swoon. It became a huge meme in Japan, and is even referenced in other video games - e.g. Dragon Quest, in which the character dances "seductively" while doing the "Sexy Beam" move. It's a move attributed to female personalities.
    Maybe the "Chick Beam" is the same but from Male to Female? So... Skye danced seductively in front of the player.

    I am very happy that there is nothing creepy in the SNES Version of Harvest Moon, because for me it is already scary that the music completely cuts off when the night comes and you are left alone with the sound of your own footsteps. I play the game on mute most of the time because it is less scary when there is no music to begin with.

    I always had a crazy theory that Magical Melody and Animal Parade exist on the same island. There's that strange open field in the Fugue Forest right before the Witch's house, and one of Thomas's animals (the same guy from MM) is in the swamp around her house. Plus, when the game starts your character is riding in on a cart, and the boats/water isn't working because of the Blue Bell, so you only could have got there from another part of the island. MM has that path that goes nowhere, but what if it leads to the Fugue Forest? That weird field could have been the way to MM town. Your character in AP left MM town and when you left the forest you ran into the guy who gave you a ride (I forget his name) to your new farm. Plus both games start with your character agreeing to run a farm and not inheriting it like some games. IDK just thought I'd sharelol.

    In HM DS Cute there is a pet thing like the one for Karen in HM 64. It works with the cat and the dog on all the villagers, including the regular marriage candidates and rivals, never tried it on the special girls. But, some only like the dog, some only like the cat, and some are fine with either. You can even see it work if you have the ring equipped that shows affection/friendship. If you get the villager inside a building, you can even max out their friendship in 1 in-game day. I don't remember if the trick works in the original HM DS.

    I actually got the cutscene of the goddess hitting her head in my game but the sprites made it seem like if I collect enough bobbles that she will eventually come out? It sounded like "get enough achievements and the goddess will come back"

    Great video! Wanted to add for glitches stopping marriage candidates from being marriageable- in ToT, a glitch in some early copies stopped you from completing Calvin’s 5th heart event, so he was unmarryable. I was heartbroken when I learned both me and my best friend had glitched copies, but was so excited when I could finally marry him in AP!!

I love him sm so I was genuinly floored to learn ppl hate him sm :(((
    love this video though, love harvest moon so so so much. grew up playing hmds and then got into friends of mineral town on the gba and have loved the series to bits ever since

    so as far as thomas being called "baldy" i found out recently that in japanese, a very rude insult is "Hage", which translates to bald. its a general insult, and is not at all only meant to refer to someone who is, in fact, bald. I think this was probably the case in the japanese version, which would have not made so much sense when translating to other languages

    Fun video! Covered a lot of stuff, and the comments so far have covered a lot of others, but I wanted to mention a few other things that are fun: There's possibly another weather girl cameo, but it's a bit of a stretch. Long, long before A New Beginning released, there was a girl who looked almost exactly like Yuri as the weather girl in Save the Homeland. Same outfit, mostly similar hair (just looks neater) with the only big difference being that the StH weathergirl doesn't have glasses.
    Also, iirc, Popuri mentions Rod finding the cure for Lilia in the Island games!

    Omg. So when you was talking about the sad grant song. I was curious and looked it up on UA-cam. And it was creepy sounding. And I came back to your video to continue watching (amazing god tier video btw) and then was hearing the sad grant song... and I felt so terrified because I thought somehow the glitch of the music never stopping had happened to me somehow in real life ??! Then realised you had been using it in the background. 😂😅

    46:11 fun fact, this is Homaged in Silent Hill 2. While passing through an area, if you have the steel pipe equipped while near a particular area of water, it will prompt you to throw your pipe in. If you do, a spirit comes out of the water and asks if you dropped the Golden Pipe. Answer honestly and she gives you a gold pipe, a silver pipe, and your steel pipe.

    great video! i learned a lot i had no idea about previously. that being said, i really wish ioh/si would have gotten more attention than just a throwaway mention, as they have a lot of interesting and obscure bits as well. the vaughn starry night glitch, the rumor about regis being a vampire, fomt/mfomt lore implications, frantic farming, etc etc. there's also entries on this iceberg that qualify for ioh/si as well but not mentioned, such as the gender of your child being set at the wedding date which is also a thing in si and is not exclusive to ds cute. i do love how you formatted and narrated this iceberg though, here's hoping for a future second edition with more love for less loved titles in the series?

    This video kills me. I love it. There’s so many things about HM/SOS that are so mysterious. AWL is my favorite and that always had so many rumors that followed it even to the new game where even still answers can be hazy. Such as everyone’s depressed child, because are we smothering the child or not loving it enough?? Or the doors that weren’t ever used being lead to the Witch and only being able to be opened in autumn.

    21:44 omg a blast from the past with the Karen dog trick! I actually lost my dog forever from doing that as a kid lol. One of the days I was going to show it to her, I was holding it when I entered her home and triggered her sick in bed heart event. My character had the dog with him, but it was automatically dropped from his hands and running around during the cutscene in her room…
    And then the player auto leaves her room. He left the dog there. And since you can’t enter their bedrooms during normal gameplay, my dog was gone forever :”)
    Love this video! Very fun revisiting urban legends I’d read all the time on video game forums for the older games lol

  • @KaKa-ey5ou

    One event that I haven't seen many people talk about is the anniversary of Ann's mother's death in Back to nature (I don't know if Friends of mineral town also has this event) When autumn starts you will get a letter in your mail saying that on the 5th of Fall the Inn will be open only until noon, when you arrive that day if you go to the Inn you will only find Ann working alone and if you talk to her she will tell you that she is very busy, if you go up the mountain to the top you will see Doug looking at the horizon, if you talk to him he will tell you that today is the anniversary of his wife's death and that Ann always lets him rest from work that day, I know it is not as spooky or mysterious as other points of this iceberg but I always found it quite sad and interesting since not much is said about it, as a bonus it is something special for me since my grandfather also died on the 5th of Fall, a very rare coincidence.

    @dreams_of_gaia 8 місяців тому +5

    This was so informative!! Loved it!! I wonder if the glitchy Tree of Tranquility early copies could also make a good addition to the iceberg? I don't know if that story is well-known nowadays (I was at the UNoT forums back then when it happened). That the early copies of ToT had a bug that didn't allow players to marry Calvin so basically Natsume had to ask players to send them their defective copies and so they would send them a new copy without the glitch. Doing a little bit of research on it, it seems there's still a way to know if your copy is glitched or not and that is to access the Friendship menu, go to the residents and their heart levels section and check the word "track", if it has % around it, then it is a glitched copy (though this hasn't been confirmed).

    • @Garnet_and_Eggs
      @Garnet_and_Eggs  8 місяців тому +1

      That would make a great addition! I never wanted to marry Calvin, but I really wanted to know if mine was glitched or not. I can't remember which version I ended up thinking I have, so I'll have to try and figure that out again.

    • @animeplushie9689

    The first ever game I got was Harvest moon and coincidently it was the first one I played on my first console. Sparked the excitement and helped me develop the love for games. It was then I planned to go to college and make a hobby that some parents would think is not good to make a hobby into a career . I am proof it can work out the way it shaped me and made me who I am today I’d never realize that if not for Harvest moon so I’m so happy to say my love of games is why I’m able to do what I love as a Career!
