bro, can you upload your save game data? i never found this game save game data for PC in internet.... i just, don't have a lot time to play game, but this game is my childhood.
I feel like I'm not close to 100% ing it, even though I've played for "350 hours of more"😫 i feel like i missed out on stuff, like the blessed tools quests😫
I know you don't care, but I had a bizarre dream that involved elements from Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, SCP, real life, and the Dark Cloud series. Basically, you farm a lot, but weird things happen all the time in the town. Like, if you even think of 1:30, the time immediately goes to 1:30 AM or PM depending on which is closer with nobody knowing about it but you. And if you think of 4 o clock, then it will perpetually stay at 4 o clock pending on how long it takes to catch up. Voice acting happens, weird lights form from neighboring houses that contain creepy things in them, and it all correlates to an end of the world situation from a team up of numerous SCP monsters working together
Know these videos take AGES to make , but holy crap they're so nurturing to my harvest moon / sos soul , PLEASE continue this series with this brand of games im begging you
Oh man, I watched this whole thing on my drive home from visiting my family (it's a 7 hour drive). I just finished it now and I had to have a little cry. What a beautiful ending and I love your narration so much.
I haven't played this game in years, and was really on the fence about getting the remastered version. But this made me cry so hard at the end, it reminded me of the last time I played the original when I was about 10yrs old, and cried just as much. I really love this game! Thank you for the wonderful video!
Thanks so much for watching and sharing! The remake is great a definitely worth it if it's on sale. You're not missing out on much if you only want to play the original, but some of the QoL features in the new game are really useful lol
Cinnamon toast crunch has always reigned supreme. If I want something healthy I'm not eating cereal so might as well go balls to the wall with sugary goodness.
Marlin, or Matthew now, was always my favourite bachelor as a kid. Molly was my favourite of the ladies. Fun to see all of the changes this version made! Thanks for doing this 👌🏻
One thing thats awesome about this video is you went out of your way to narrate it. I see a lot of videos of the same type that's just put together twitch clips with audio from stream. You went above and beyond and its incredible to see the effort. Subbed!
Thanks so much for subscribing! It would be super easy to make content like that, but I want to make sure the stuff I make wouldn't be out of place on a channel that has hundreds of thousands of subscribers lol
@jessywest6206 huh really? I hadnt seen that dialogue in sos awl and they are a couple in ds and ds cute. Did they change the ages or am I misremembering?
@gamingbutternut i mean, I guess I could see how you would think they'd be cute together! I can't remember what cutscene it's in, or if it was only in the original game? But I do remember, seeing some kind of dialogue that hints at him being like a parental type of guardian to her,
Man, what a ride that story is even in the remake. But there are still some (bad fever dream) theories I can't get out of my mind. What if Hugh DID kill the turtle and have another demon like himself inhabit it's body. Rock may be dense (harhar), but he can sense that something is off. Which brings me to the main crack theory behind it all: Romana is an immortal witch. She (and Sebastian) seem to be unaffected by time. My theory is that she made a deal with a demon to grant her loyal butler immortality in exchange for a human vessel. That vessel was Hugh. Nina, being no one's fool, caught on to this foul act and confronted Romana. That sealed her fate, and Romana attempted to turn Nina into another vessel. But without a specified target, immortality was granted to Gary/Galen. Because Nina aint playin by your rules, she then peaced out, sending the demon inside her back to hell. Lastly, to ensure her faithful cats would stay by her side for all eternity, Romana offered the turtle as another vessel. Crazy shit, I know. But wait, there's more! Maybe the reason your character ages much faster than everybody else is because Lumina is siphoning your life force. She is the decendant of a witch afterall.
hi i wanted to let you know your theory is so mindblowingly rockpilled that i couldn’t help but draw rock saying it. thank you for solving the mysteries of the story of seasons expanded universe and inspiring terrible AWL fanart👍 i’d love to know if you have any comment on gustafa’s ageless nature in the original. he ages in the remake (or at least appears to….maybe it’s a ruse) but in the original he remains bafflingly youthful even when everyone else is withered. i need to know his secrets.
@@kinokoshoujo OG Gustafa is the son of the Harvest Goddess and the farmer from Tree of Tranquility. He draws energy from nature to stay young and relaxed. He might also do weed.
Firstly, cinnamon toast crunch is the GOAT of cereal. Secondly, I've said it once I've said it again, I wish more farming games took the AWL approach because it's just a unique experience. I'm about to graduate and get my game design degree this month (six days from now actually), and it's games like this one that inspire me to make games that I want other people to enjoy.
Congrats on graduating! I got my undergrad in 2018, so I know how much dedication and focus it takes. For real tho, hit me up if you want me to test a game or anything. I'm down to clown.
I’ve always had a weakness for Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries cereal. As for the video, amazing work as always! This is convincing me to actually finish up a save of this game.
Your narration is *really* good. I’m recovering from an eye surgery so I can’t exactly *watch* this but listening in while I lay in the dark with my head tipped uncomfortably far back is very nice. Thank you :)
@@JackDuckGoose things are definitely on the up! I still have a while to go until I can go back to normal activity but I really appreciate the well wishes!!
@@tarobug2560 no problem! one of my buddies got shot in the eye with a bb gun as a kid and had to have some eye surgery so I know how hellish the recovery can be
@@JackDuckGoose good lord yeah, I can imagine how bad that would be. Thankfully I got off ‘light’ and I just had a retinal repair + scleral buckle. I’m just due for a week of boredom and discomfort and then a month or so of having a bubble in my eye. Two more days! Then I can go back to videogames. On that note though, I know you love these long, gruelling gameplay progression type deals- have you seen anything about a game called Vintage Story? I think you might get some real value outta that :)
A big burger video to get me through my shift? I am pumped to see the whole saga all together now. Stay winning, king! (And I will update this comment after I finish lol). Okay! So yeah, I really enjoyed seeing it all together, as expected. I have yet to actually play the game despite it being gifted to me and I figured I would stream it since it's so story-focused. This just gets me more excited! I haven't eaten cereal in so long... but my favorites growing up was probably a tossup between Reeses Puffs and Cookie crisp. Cuz I'm a choco-holic haha. The "Cecilia and Matthew having a domestic on my property" made me laugh before, and it made me laugh now. I just so happened to look at the screen when you mentioned the soil part with the zoom-in, and that got a good laugh outta me too. It felt like going on a journey watching Jack grow old! Thanks for all your hard work :D
Thank you for the zero-ads 3 hours video. We know it takes so much time and an insane amount of work to do a video like this. Thank you so much from Brazil
Thanks so much for watching! I'm not sure if you like football or not, but coming from a Chelsea fan, thank you for Willian, Oscar, David Luiz, Ramires, and Thiago Silva.
Came back to this video as I'm taking my version of a midday nap. I'm happy to see there are still new comments in here! Its nice ur in a position where ur able to acknowledge all ur commenters in here even to this day. Its very cozy! God knows id get overwhelmed after a bit lol
For more P names I thought of Pacha, Perry, Pepper, Percy, Peggy, and Paco! This video is amazing, and brought back so much nostalgia for me, thanks for putting in all the work of playing, recording, editing, and narrating the whole 3+ hours!
my favourite cereal was nesquik chocolate puffs for the longest time and through out my entire childhood. however now as an adultmy favourite cereal has been Captain Crunch peanut butter, and if im ever feeling like extra sweet goodness i'll chow down reese puff cereal for a nice in between.
found your channel through this video and i'm for sure sticking around! a wonderful life was my favourite game when i was younger, and i've been playing through the remake myself so this was a great watch!
I appreciate your videos a lot. These games were pretty special to me as a kid but now I don't have time to play these anymore. So this is a nice way to still enjoy them. Also your demeaner is very nice.
I just realized that the aging is inconsistent. In theory, all the elders should’ve died by the time you did but they seemed to have lived a whole nother life with you. Plus the suitors never aged either 😂.
I love these videos so so much please continue to make more on the harvest moon/story of seasons games! I would also love to see this with other farming sims like coral island and sun haven
In all honesty, I have no clue. If I had to guess, it's because my daughter took the academic route, so having a second bookcase for all her books would make sense.
I enjoy this kind of content. Was also hoping you could upload some long play content. Because i really enjoy playing video games while putting some long gameplay videos like this. It feels like a "study with me" vibes and help me focus better knowing that someone else is also playing for next few hours😊
@@JackDuckGoose wow thank you! I instantly subscribe. Also, i didnt realize i have not yet subs you before (i enjoy your 100 days of playing ...). But the beginning vids "sponsored by me" and all the kind reminder to subs, like and comment really put me into action. Great ideas!
1:42:28 has me laughing so baddd 😂😭😭 Luna meant no harm! Lumina either didn’t know how to answer or meant the silence because the last time she’d gotten some attention was before she had the baby 🫣😂😂 I love your videos, please keep making them! Like everyone else said your narration is very beautiful & I’ve already watched this 4-5 times
Thanks so much for watching! I'm hoping to get another video out in the next week or so! It's took quite a long time to play, script, and edit so hopefully you all like it!
I really appreciate that you don't have a sponsor. You brought it up in the same way other content creators do, with that exact cadence, and internally, I groaned. Then you said, "ME!" That was a clever touch. I liked, subscribed, and now I'm commenting because of that. (Original) Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons fans are built different. Edit: I'm happy to see Lumina getting some love. She's definitely an underrated marriage candidate. It makes me sad that so many people dislike her!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you didn't instantly click off when I started up that advertisement bit lol. I'll never get people actively disliking characters. I make fun of Hugh and Matthew as a bit, but all of that is in jest lol
My favorite cereal is a toss up between Fruity Pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Both scratch adjacent sweet cravings to similar effect and I just have to leave it up to my mood on which one I will eat. Keep up the great work, JDG!
best harvest moon series are this "wonderful life", as you said with the story progression, character can become old, npc die, new npc on year 2, your kid can grow. and also "back to nature" are best in my opinion, with the rival bachelor / bachelorette actually can invite you to their marriage. both are best farming games!
Hey thanks for uploading this. I was on year 2 before I got some neurological issues on my hands. I bought the remake at launch. I’m kinda recovering but who knows if I’ll ever be able to handle that many button inputs to see my gameplay through. Seeing the end of your play through got me nostalgic- especially today that I’m getting a bad flare up. This game is so sweet and full of heart. A lovely video & amazing narration. I feel like I got some closure :)
Thanks so much for watching friends. I'm sorry to hear about the shit hand you were dealt. I'm hoping that someday you'll be able to finish your playthrough, friendo
Never played any of the SoS games but I watched this video from start to finish and really enjoyed it, great work! I even got quite emotional at the end, those cut scenes really are special. I bought FoMT recently in the Steam Summer Sale and can't wait to get stuck into my first SoS game :-)
hey mate got a question ive missed a few requests will these appear back in heavon mode and will i be able to still do 100 if ive missed a few? currently in the 5th year nearly finshed game
Just started the video, never seen your channel before and have no clue what i’m in for but that deal to keep videos ad free with a sub is totally worth it either way ❤
I looooove stretching a three hour video over like four days by listening to it while I drive. You totally got me interested in this game!! I tried the SoS franchise before but I think I picked a dud (poot). This definitely looks more fun!
You should give it a try! PoOT is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Personally, I reccomend Friends of Mineral Town to get the authentic experience. A Wonderful Life is definitely an outlier lol
Jamie is actually the opposite sex of the player character in spite of it referring to them as a boy. They can be married in either version and are then gendered during the wedding scene. However, the game will end if you marry them. That's only a thing in the English version though for some reason?
Hello from Canada! Just got into the AWL remake on the switch. (I'm obsessed and already married to Gordy a week later). Thanks for the ad free video! My favourite cereal is Rice Krispies. I love the texture :)
@JackDuckGoose I like it a lot! It's very nostalgic and quite graphically pretty in comparison to the old, retro style AWL that I remember. There are some changes I'm not a fan of, and it can be a bit repetitive and slow. But I can look past the changes. On the repetitive and slow note, personally, I don't mind that. Easy game for unwinding and sort of zoning out to. I wish they would've kept features where animals got sick or passed away. Also, some of the mechanical annoyances bother me (the digging, horse sleeping, trying to gift during animations, etc). However, overall, I don't mind. I'm enjoying it :) Thanks for asking! I hope you enjoyed it or are still enjoying it!
Question, do you remember enough about this playthrough that you could make a video- or Google Doc, or whatever- that's more of a guide on how to replicate this? Like a list format of what you need to buy on what days, what events need triggered by a certain day? What time you were going to bed, were you watering crops twice a day, etc? A major one would be which days you did the dig site (and what timeframe) and which you dedicated to fishing. Sorry, but I'm really interested in the idea of 100%ing at least the first year for my own playthrough.
I definitely remember everything, but putting it into words without being prompted is difficult. It's pretty easy to answer your questions though. I went to bed around 10:30 or 11 PM almost every single day. I watered crops twice a day, right after I woke up and right before I went to sleep everyday (unless I forgot). I was in the digsite pretty much every day barring the 3rd and 8th of every season when it's closed. It's one of the large reasons why my daughter in this series became in academic. It's a great resource for gifts in Year 1 and remains a great resource for money Year 2 and beyond. What I will say is for the digsite is once you befriend everyone and no longer have use for the items as gifts, I would get the new items in the beginning of every chapter, then only dig up golden items. So, if I could see them sprouting out of the dirt OR if I could dig once in the spots that already have been touched, but there wasn't any item sticking out, and find a golden object, I would dig those. If all I could see and uncover were regular items after I befriended everyone, I left and did something else. For me, fishing was simple; I wanted to get all 4 sizes of every fish, so I spent a lot of time fishing in the evenings. This made getting the rod upgrades quick and provided a lot of gift items in the form of raw fish and sashimi. For cutscenes, I followed this guide on Fogu: fogu.com/sos5/ There are three big categories; Heart Events, Rival events, and "random" events. If you navigate to the bachelors and bachelorettes, it shows you the conditions needs to activate their heart events. There's an entire section for Rival events here: fogu.com/sos5/events/rival_events.html and the Random events page here tells you how to get all the cutscenes you can see and what season and chapter you can see them in: fogu.com/sos5/events/random_events.html Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions. Or you could contact me on twitter/discord!
@@JackDuckGooseI have no idea why UA-cam wouldn't show your reply to me until today, because I've been checking every few days since I made the initial comment! Thank you for the answers, I really appreciate it. I think the only questions that I have left relate to the friendship side of things, at least for right now. Did you talk to everyone everyday? Did you give everyone gifts everyday, and if so did you give them the max number possible or just try to give them at least one a day? I can tell from the video that you seem to have prioritized the dateable NPCs and Daryl, then worked worked your way from the most accessible to the least accessible NPCs. Thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions!
@@alchemysaga3745 For this play through, I definitely did not talk to everyone everyday or give everyone a max amount of gifts a day. I pretty much went through friendships in clumps. The first clump was people I knew weren't going to be in Chapter 2 and people that had cutscenes only available in Chapter 1. Those people would get 1-2 gifts a day starting out. Bachelors and bachelorettes were easier since their heart events worked towards friendship and affection, so I mainly focused on them, daryl, nina, and hugh early-game.
Sensory issues surrounding milk & mild lactose intolerance means I don't do cereal all that often (lest i commit the food crime of using water instead of milk for some sort of moisture) but I can always ignore those issues when it comes to reeses puffs
I've considered it, but there are so many games ahead of it on my list. Between Animal Parade, a Rune Factory Entry, and DS, it's hard to fit it in there lol
I watch this and it’s part 2 multiple times a day! I have chronic fatigue so I sleep a lot ❤ it’s so perfect for falling asleep- but it’s also super entertaining
The later years wouldn't feel like such a slog if the game had rival marriages and more events. If the marriage candidates started families, maybe the player's kid could get married at the end. Whoever they choose to marry could correspond with their chosen career. Out of all of the HM games, this is the one that would have benefitted the most from rival marriage and it baffles me that they didn't add it!! It's depressing to see the lonely, ageing marriage candidates.
I agree. Rival marriages are a fragment of past RPG's that I wish would return, but apparently the Japanese audience had a mega distaste for them so they just stopped including them in games lol
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING tops Cocoa Pebbles. It’s thin and small and crunch and chocolate and if you eat it fast enough it’s still crunchy even when wet! Also, awesome on the no ads! Love this video gonna use it to go to sleep tonight 😂
When I was little and playing this for the first time on my gqmecube, I had Another Wonderful Life. Because I was like 10, thought that Marlin Matthew) and Gustafa were "old and ugly" so I married Rock. I had NO idea that time like actually passed and was SO scandalized that Marlin and and Gustafa barely looked like they changed in year 2 where Rock had full grey lmao XD
If you ever buy a hot bottle bag be careful with how you use it. You can essentially slowly cook your skin and get a hot bottle rash(erythema ab igne) which can potentially leave permanent marks.
@@JackDuckGoose almost! I noticed in time that my skin was getting red marks that wouldnt go away immediately so I did some research. Luckily i got no permanent marks
@JackDuckGoose also I gotta apologize for my out-of-context comment ending up on your video. I thought I sent it to a difrent video where they advertised it and didn't realize my mistake. You must've been a bit confused😭
Milk after, unless it's oatmeal (which I make with milk, because it tastes better that way to me), in which case, I add milk first, then oatmeal, fruit, and any other seasonings I feel like (honey, maple, brown sugar, etc), before cooking. My favorite cereals are Lucky Charms (because dehydrated marshmallows are AWESOME), and Maple/Cinnamon Chex (because YUM). Never played any of the Harvest Moon games (thought I've played many of the games that owe their existence to this charming progenitor), but have to say it was touching. Misted up a little at the "it's been a wonderful life" ending. Great content! Looking forward to additional journeys we're invited to join along. Cheers!
Thanks so much! I appreciate your attention to detail with cereals and oatmeals. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that gets super specific with the order of making something as benign as oatmeal lol
@@JackDuckGoose *laughs* Well, oatmeal can be just, you know, oat-meal, or it can be an amazing breakfast experience: warm and mellow as a warm binkie straight from the dryer, or a death-metal harbinger of the fruitocalypse. What was it they used to say about Campbell's Chunky soups? The soup that eats like a meal? Yeah. Like that. Way too much info, I know. -.-;
Harvest Moon DS and DS Cute are so nostalgic for me- I wonder why they reduced the bachelors and bachelorettes. I loved marrying Flora, Skye, Kai, and even considering marrying the mermaid (Lola?) but never got around to it.
I'll say this, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life was released on the Gamecube in 2003 and Harvest Moon: DS was released in 2005. So, DS was modeled on AWL, and they added characters in to flesh it out. Why they didn't include those characters into the remake, I don't know. I would've loved to see Kai, Skye, Leia, and the Witch Princess in 3D, but my guess is they wanted to keep the remake faithful to the special edition of AWL
engagement: i dont actually have a favorite cereal. thank you for the big vid jack, i always hit that like straight away ❤ i also still agree flora shouldve been a bachelorette 😬
I've been putting your videos as background noise while working since being recommended one of your videos. Pretty sure I've watched (listened) to this video twice already- third time is this comment and it still feels as if this is my first time watching haha. Hope to see more harvest moon/sos videos soon!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I've told my wife that people will put my videos on for background noise or to fall asleep and she always says, "no way. you're voice isn't relaxing enough" so it I always get a good laugh when someone mentions that. I definitely have more HM/SOS stuff in the mixer lol
I LOVE Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran! Aside from that, love this content. Your voice is really nice to listen to, you speak at a great pace that scratches my brain, and the game looks really, really fun. I'm only about 20 minutes in, but it looks like a game I'd enjoy! It sems very Animal Crossing meets Stardew, and thsts soemthing I've been craving for a bit. I'm glad this got recommended to me!
Thanks so much for watching! It definitely is a solid game, especially if you've never played the original! It goes on sale pretty often so I would wait for the next time it goes half off lol
Banana nut Cheerios are absolutely amazing. Just a little sweetness from the banana nut, delightful. I’m a new viewer but I respected your intro and liked your video format, very well done. You got a subscriber outta me. Thank you.
Thanks so much! It's great to have you! P.S. that's a solid cereal order. Cherrios used to have these little Yogurt versions where some cherrios had a sweet, dried yogurt coating. The strawberry version of those went so hard but I don't know if they make them the same anymore lol
I realized I made some mistakes in my current playthrough so I'm thinking about starting over and I remembered your vids. This is gonna sound so dumb but how do you decide which crops to plant? I know trees tend to be a major income source and I know the best rare trees to grow, but outside of making sure to plant one of everything for the encyclopedia, how do you make sure you have enough of everything for recipes and such? Do you actually sell the crops or keep them? I'm just not sure if I should be repeatedly growing gen2 crops like I would the regular base crops.
In my playthrough, I rarely sold crops outside of tree fruits. Because I knew that there were so many recipes, I pretty much saved all of my first, second, and third gen crops for recipe ingredients or they were put back into the seedmaker to replant. I used this spreadsheet to track what ingredients I needed and always made sure I had seeds in case some died or I screwed up and didn't have enough: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/e/2PACX-1vS7pyoe1C-10cM00fMfORWfMs-HJeSm5XJT468GJ3l0dq2PtkjjMtRk7ADFWkcLwShe9_hRvd5y0BfQ/pubhtml?pli=1 To answer your first question, I pretty much planted every crop I possibly could every season for the reasons mentioned above AND to level up my watering can skill so Van sold the upgrades as soon as possible. During the first year, I mostly made money from sheep wool, which went into buying more sheep until I had a full barn, and then I started purchasing other buildings, more seeds, etc.
Ahh gotcha, that's not a cutscene. I always think it's interesting when I see two villagers just talking while I run around, so I pressed in the right stick button to go first-person and just zoomed in on them chatting
59:46 Eyyyyy your southern accent came out here lol Now i hear it throughout the rest of the vid but, tbf, southern accents are hella endearing and you do a great job with masking it, fwiw xD This vid is still a big comfort lol I wouldnt call out the southern accent if I werent intimately familiar with it, rest assured xD Feels like an Arkansas or northern texas accent lol. My familys got that accent. I do too if I'm around the right people lol Forgive me if ya dont have a southern accent and I'm assuming xD
I was born and raised in the midwest, but most of my family grew up on farms and worked doing agriculture so maybe that's where those slight accent hints can be picked up lol
@JackDuckGoose lol you sound like me. Genuinely. I'm a midwestern baby who had family with a farmer / southern midwest background. I think thats cool. Thanks for sharing! Maybe the fact im picking up on the tiny hints of accent is also reflective of my own background! Lol
I will permit you your (incorrect) opinion on Marlin/Matthew, if only because you did such a great job with the video- and were very generous to leave midroll ads off. I do like how they added on to some of the storylines they were forced to abandon in the original version of the game, like the "Wonderfuls." And I'm totally not biased towards Matthew because I, too, have anxiety and a chronic autoimmune issue.
As I actually played through the game, my opinions on a lot of the bachelors and bachelorettes has changed. Matthew/Marlin is definitely a riser on my ranks, whilst Gustafa and Cody dropped a few places lol
@@JackDuckGooseQuestion- do you know around when your character was sleeping during the first year? Or how often you were watering during the day? Were you gifting EVERYONE one gift a day, everyday? I've been trying to use this as a guide on how to 100%, but I've found myself running out of time, particularly in regards to the fishing at night.
@@alchemysaga3745 Apologies for getting to this late, I was working on a new video pretty intensely. I think I've answered some of your questions in previous replies, but the one about gifting everyone on gift a day everyday is new. I didn't gift everyone 1 gift a day everyday. I worked in "clumps" for the lack of a better term. For example, I started with befriending the bachelors and bacheloreetes 'since I wanted to see their heart events and Rival events ASAP. I got them up to 6 Hearts then stopped, since once you see their 8 Heart event, you can't see rival events. Once I got almost every bachelor up to about 6 Hearts, I worked in different clumps. Daryl was important to befriend super early since he gives you a freed seed maker. Hugh is important to befriend early since year 1 is the only year he likes milk. Nina is important to befriend early cause, well you know. And then I would work between Flora and Carter at the digsite, Lou and Tei at the inn, all the people by the bar, the fireworks bros, and the villa residents. When it comes to actually gifting, most villagers will accept 2 to 4 gifts per day, that's why it was so important for me to collect aromatic herbs all the time and turn them into soup. Those soups along with flowers, fish, eggs, and milk made it pretty easy to befriend a character quickly if I really focused on giving them those 2-4 daily gifts. In terms of time management, the first year is jam packed, so it's tough to prioritize. If you're having trouble, I would do this; Befriend every bachelor and bachelorette to 6 hearts then stop so you can see the Rival events that start in the Summer. Then befriend Nina, Daryl, and Hugh. Most of the missable cutscenes in Chapter 1 require friendship with them. The final heart event doesn't unlock until Winter 1, so spend the time in Summer and Fall seeing Rival Heart Event 1 and 2 for the three couples, befriending as many valley people as possible by giving them 2-4 gifts per day, and working on money by investing in sheep. You shouldn't be filling up your crop fields with crops every season. Making 4 or 5 of each crop available that season is more than enough for recipes, requests, etc. Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions!
@@blue-indoraptor5376 Yeah it's one of the few farming simulators that has a traditional plot and definite end. You can keep playing after your player "dies." Your stamina bar and appearance goes back to how it was on Day 1, but everyone around you remains the same age so it's kinda weird lol.
There are a couple of clothing items that are DLC. Most of which I wear early game since a large majority of apparel is unlocked by completing requests in the mid-to-late-game. Let me know if you have a specific one in mind and I can tell you how to get it!
Can someone tell me how to make the afternoon tea recipe please? All the online recipe guides say it’s crop 29, crop 31, and crop 32, but that gives me the afternoon sweets recipe.
I have it on pretty good authority that afternoon tea is Crop 29, 30, and 31. Also, you could visit the harvest sprite hut every day except the day after a festival to get the recipe eventually
imagine not 100%'ing this game
lol 😝 😅please 😅😅pp😅p😅p pop m l😅p 😅llamas 😅lo😅😅 lol p😅😅 pop😅p I’ll lol pl😅😅😅plpl😅lovely I’m lol poploo
bro, can you upload your save game data? i never found this game save game data for PC in internet.... i just, don't have a lot time to play game, but this game is my childhood.
I feel like I'm not close to 100% ing it, even though I've played for "350 hours of more"😫 i feel like i missed out on stuff, like the blessed tools quests😫
I know you don't care, but I had a bizarre dream that involved elements from Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, SCP, real life, and the Dark Cloud series.
Basically, you farm a lot, but weird things happen all the time in the town. Like, if you even think of 1:30, the time immediately goes to 1:30 AM or PM depending on which is closer with nobody knowing about it but you. And if you think of 4 o clock, then it will perpetually stay at 4 o clock pending on how long it takes to catch up.
Voice acting happens, weird lights form from neighboring houses that contain creepy things in them, and it all correlates to an end of the world situation from a team up of numerous SCP monsters working together
Know these videos take AGES to make , but holy crap they're so nurturing to my harvest moon / sos soul , PLEASE continue this series with this brand of games im begging you
I will most definitely continue making story of seasons / harvest moon videos lol Thanks for watching!
"Rock does too, and his instinct to bother women kicks in" lmfaaooooo
I mean, that's like all my man does lol
Having no ads literally makes this the perfect video to fall asleep to. Thank you!!
Hope you had a good rest, friend
@@JackDuckGooseI have fallen asleep to this video every night since it’s been out thank you
@@josieotremba3026 no. Thank you
😂 when I am sleeping and watching UA-cam the ads sounds like the video I'm watching lol
@@likebubba Nothing is worse than sleeping and having a loud Ad wake you up lol
I love the commitment to changing in and out the raincoat lol
Gotta do it for the RP lol
Oh man, I watched this whole thing on my drive home from visiting my family (it's a 7 hour drive). I just finished it now and I had to have a little cry. What a beautiful ending and I love your narration so much.
Thanks so much for watching/listening! I'm glad you enjoyed it and traveled safely to your destination!
I haven't played this game in years, and was really on the fence about getting the remastered version. But this made me cry so hard at the end, it reminded me of the last time I played the original when I was about 10yrs old, and cried just as much. I really love this game! Thank you for the wonderful video!
Thanks so much for watching and sharing! The remake is great a definitely worth it if it's on sale. You're not missing out on much if you only want to play the original, but some of the QoL features in the new game are really useful lol
Cinnamon toast crunch has always reigned supreme. If I want something healthy I'm not eating cereal so might as well go balls to the wall with sugary goodness.
Periodt
Cinnamon toast crunch is S Tier, but I prefer French toast crunch if I could pick lol
Agreed
Cinnamon toast crunch is S tier for sure. I also love Reese's puffs tho
Waffle crisp booooi
Marlin, or Matthew now, was always my favourite bachelor as a kid. Molly was my favourite of the ladies. Fun to see all of the changes this version made! Thanks for doing this 👌🏻
Thanks for watching! Marlin is the worst and I stand by that lol
"I'll call him poison 'cause thats what men are!"
whuuu that was fast xD love it! I am at hour 1 minute 45, and still going, I love your style mate
Thanks so much! I try to not be too boring when writing scripts lol
One thing thats awesome about this video is you went out of your way to narrate it. I see a lot of videos of the same type that's just put together twitch clips with audio from stream. You went above and beyond and its incredible to see the effort. Subbed!
Thanks so much for subscribing! It would be super easy to make content like that, but I want to make sure the stuff I make wouldn't be out of place on a channel that has hundreds of thousands of subscribers lol
Molly not being able to find love in her life and it causing her so much heartache is so devastating.
The devs really did her dirty fr fr
They really should have given her a romance with Gavin. They work so well together!
@gamingbutternut Uh!!?? NO WAY!!! Gavin is MUCH older than her, and she even says that sees him as a parental figure!!!!!
@jessywest6206 huh really? I hadnt seen that dialogue in sos awl and they are a couple in ds and ds cute. Did they change the ages or am I misremembering?
@gamingbutternut i mean, I guess I could see how you would think they'd be cute together! I can't remember what cutscene it's in, or if it was only in the original game? But I do remember, seeing some kind of dialogue that hints at him being like a parental type of guardian to her,
Your grandma in law is a vampire that's why she outlived you.
She's just got the fountain of youth in her front garden lol
Man, what a ride that story is even in the remake.
But there are still some (bad fever dream) theories I can't get out of my mind.
What if Hugh DID kill the turtle and have another demon like himself inhabit it's body. Rock may be dense (harhar), but he can sense that something is off.
Which brings me to the main crack theory behind it all:
Romana is an immortal witch.
She (and Sebastian) seem to be unaffected by time. My theory is that she made a deal with a demon to grant her loyal butler immortality in exchange for a human vessel. That vessel was Hugh. Nina, being no one's fool, caught on to this foul act and confronted Romana. That sealed her fate, and Romana attempted to turn Nina into another vessel. But without a specified target, immortality was granted to Gary/Galen. Because Nina aint playin by your rules, she then peaced out, sending the demon inside her back to hell.
Lastly, to ensure her faithful cats would stay by her side for all eternity, Romana offered the turtle as another vessel.
Crazy shit, I know. But wait, there's more!
Maybe the reason your character ages much faster than everybody else is because Lumina is siphoning your life force. She is the decendant of a witch afterall.
hi i wanted to let you know your theory is so mindblowingly rockpilled that i couldn’t help but draw rock saying it. thank you for solving the mysteries of the story of seasons expanded universe and inspiring terrible AWL fanart👍
i’d love to know if you have any comment on gustafa’s ageless nature in the original. he ages in the remake (or at least appears to….maybe it’s a ruse) but in the original he remains bafflingly youthful even when everyone else is withered. i need to know his secrets.
This makes too much sense
@@kinokoshoujo OG Gustafa is the son of the Harvest Goddess and the farmer from Tree of Tranquility. He draws energy from nature to stay young and relaxed. He might also do weed.
Firstly, cinnamon toast crunch is the GOAT of cereal.
Secondly, I've said it once I've said it again, I wish more farming games took the AWL approach because it's just a unique experience. I'm about to graduate and get my game design degree this month (six days from now actually), and it's games like this one that inspire me to make games that I want other people to enjoy.
Early congratulations! That's incredible 💜
Congrats on graduating! I got my undergrad in 2018, so I know how much dedication and focus it takes. For real tho, hit me up if you want me to test a game or anything. I'm down to clown.
3,5 hours AND no midroll ads?? Well you got yourself a sub
Pog, hope you enjoyed it!
I’ve always had a weakness for Cap’n Crunch’s Crunch Berries cereal. As for the video, amazing work as always! This is convincing me to actually finish up a save of this game.
Thanks so much for watching! Your taste in cereal is excellent lol
Your narration is *really* good. I’m recovering from an eye surgery so I can’t exactly *watch* this but listening in while I lay in the dark with my head tipped uncomfortably far back is very nice. Thank you :)
Thanks for listening! Hopefully everything is going well 3 days later!
@@JackDuckGoose things are definitely on the up! I still have a while to go until I can go back to normal activity but I really appreciate the well wishes!!
@@tarobug2560 no problem! one of my buddies got shot in the eye with a bb gun as a kid and had to have some eye surgery so I know how hellish the recovery can be
@@JackDuckGoose good lord yeah, I can imagine how bad that would be. Thankfully I got off ‘light’ and I just had a retinal repair + scleral buckle. I’m just due for a week of boredom and discomfort and then a month or so of having a bubble in my eye. Two more days! Then I can go back to videogames. On that note though, I know you love these long, gruelling gameplay progression type deals- have you seen anything about a game called Vintage Story? I think you might get some real value outta that :)
@@tarobug2560 I've never heard of it, but after doing some light research it does look pretty interesting lol
A big burger video to get me through my shift? I am pumped to see the whole saga all together now. Stay winning, king! (And I will update this comment after I finish lol).
Okay! So yeah, I really enjoyed seeing it all together, as expected. I have yet to actually play the game despite it being gifted to me and I figured I would stream it since it's so story-focused. This just gets me more excited!
I haven't eaten cereal in so long... but my favorites growing up was probably a tossup between Reeses Puffs and Cookie crisp. Cuz I'm a choco-holic haha.
The "Cecilia and Matthew having a domestic on my property" made me laugh before, and it made me laugh now.
I just so happened to look at the screen when you mentioned the soil part with the zoom-in, and that got a good laugh outta me too.
It felt like going on a journey watching Jack grow old! Thanks for all your hard work :D
Thanks so much for watching and the details in your comment! Means a lot!
I still can't believe what they did to Marlin in this remake. They completely scrubbed the Italian off of him when they decided to make Matthew lol
For real, get my mans his pompadour back lol
Thank you for the zero-ads 3 hours video. We know it takes so much time and an insane amount of work to do a video like this. Thank you so much from Brazil
Thanks so much for watching! I'm not sure if you like football or not, but coming from a Chelsea fan, thank you for Willian, Oscar, David Luiz, Ramires, and Thiago Silva.
Came back to this video as I'm taking my version of a midday nap. I'm happy to see there are still new comments in here! Its nice ur in a position where ur able to acknowledge all ur commenters in here even to this day. Its very cozy! God knows id get overwhelmed after a bit lol
Lol I love responding to comments. It's one of my favorite parts of being a "UA-camr."
@JackDuckGoose thats awesome .i am happy. Keep doing what u do!!!
For more P names I thought of Pacha, Perry, Pepper, Percy, Peggy, and Paco!
This video is amazing, and brought back so much nostalgia for me, thanks for putting in all the work of playing, recording, editing, and narrating the whole 3+ hours!
Thanks so much for watching and the name suggestions! I'll definitly keep them in mind for future videos lol
my favourite cereal was nesquik chocolate puffs for the longest time and through out my entire childhood. however now as an adultmy favourite cereal has been Captain Crunch peanut butter, and if im ever feeling like extra sweet goodness i'll chow down reese puff cereal for a nice in between.
All of these are elite suggestions. I need to get some now lol
What a grind! Love the way you always change your outfit to match the seasons and weather
Can't have that negative RP lol
found your channel through this video and i'm for sure sticking around! a wonderful life was my favourite game when i was younger, and i've been playing through the remake myself so this was a great watch!
Thanks so much for watching! How are you enjoying the game?
You have such a calm voice so its so easy to fall asleep to! I love it!
Thanks so much! Hope you had a good sleep!
I'm not a huge cereal fan, but cinnamon toast crunch on vanilla ice cream is so good.
Ice cream and cereal is a combo I've never thought about. It's a whole new world
I wish I could double tap this 👍🏾
I appreciate your videos a lot. These games were pretty special to me as a kid but now I don't have time to play these anymore. So this is a nice way to still enjoy them. Also your demeaner is very nice.
Thanks so much! hopefully, you get a chance to play them again!
Milk before or after the cereal?
milk after the cereal for the first bowl, milk before cereal on the refill second bowl
@anthonymcnemar8215 *exactly* this!
What about you, @JackDuckGoose?
@@HUnewearI Lost me in the second half.
Milk always goes after cereal, you maniac.
I’m actually with Anthony. When you’re filling up for seconds milk is technically first, but I put in cereal and then more milk
@@cozygamergirlie milk isn’t technically first. Because you aren’t putting more in the first time. It’s already there
I just realized that the aging is inconsistent. In theory, all the elders should’ve died by the time you did but they seemed to have lived a whole nother life with you. Plus the suitors never aged either 😂.
Yeah it's a little strange, but I personally don't mind it lol
I love these videos so so much please continue to make more on the harvest moon/story of seasons games! I would also love to see this with other farming sims like coral island and sun haven
Lol theres too many games I want to play. I just need this to be my real job and I can play them all
@@JackDuckGoose aw I feel that. I hope you can do this as your job one day. Keep up the great work!
Can’t wait to watch this so I can understand why everyone’s talking about cereal
Cereal is just 👨🍳💋
This was a wonderful watch, i've been looking for Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon Videos like this and it was perfect.
I hope you do more!
Thanks so much for watching! I'm planning to release a new video next week!
@@JackDuckGoose I'm glad I subbed, i'm looking forward to it!
appreciate how you made this content so far. thanks for the effort. I watched this video every second without any disruption. Bless you
Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the no-ads vidsss you are a Godsend
You're welcome! Hope you enjoyed the video!
Where do you get the second bookcase for your child’s room that can be seen in 2:11:04 ? I’m in year 6 and I only have the one.
In all honesty, I have no clue. If I had to guess, it's because my daughter took the academic route, so having a second bookcase for all her books would make sense.
I enjoy this kind of content. Was also hoping you could upload some long play content. Because i really enjoy playing video games while putting some long gameplay videos like this. It feels like a "study with me" vibes and help me focus better knowing that someone else is also playing for next few hours😊
You should check out my vods page! It's definitely the closest thing to longplay content I currently produce youtube.com/@jackduckgoosevods
@@JackDuckGoose wow thank you! I instantly subscribe. Also, i didnt realize i have not yet subs you before (i enjoy your 100 days of playing ...). But the beginning vids "sponsored by me" and all the kind reminder to subs, like and comment really put me into action. Great ideas!
@@fianski Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
1:42:28 has me laughing so baddd 😂😭😭 Luna meant no harm! Lumina either didn’t know how to answer or meant the silence because the last time she’d gotten some attention was before she had the baby 🫣😂😂
I love your videos, please keep making them! Like everyone else said your narration is very beautiful & I’ve already watched this 4-5 times
Thanks so much for watching! I'm hoping to get another video out in the next week or so! It's took quite a long time to play, script, and edit so hopefully you all like it!
Thank you for keeping me entertained! Its been a rough day this is perfect 👌 great work!
Hope your day got a little bit better! Keep fighting the good fight
@@JackDuckGoose it did! Thanks you too!
I really appreciate that you don't have a sponsor. You brought it up in the same way other content creators do, with that exact cadence, and internally, I groaned. Then you said, "ME!" That was a clever touch. I liked, subscribed, and now I'm commenting because of that. (Original) Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons fans are built different.
Edit: I'm happy to see Lumina getting some love. She's definitely an underrated marriage candidate. It makes me sad that so many people dislike her!
Thanks so much! I'm glad you didn't instantly click off when I started up that advertisement bit lol. I'll never get people actively disliking characters. I make fun of Hugh and Matthew as a bit, but all of that is in jest lol
My favorite cereal is a toss up between Fruity Pebbles and Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Both scratch adjacent sweet cravings to similar effect and I just have to leave it up to my mood on which one I will eat. Keep up the great work, JDG!
Thanks so much for watching! Those are both S Tier Cereal in my book lol
best harvest moon series are this "wonderful life", as you said with the story progression, character can become old, npc die, new npc on year 2, your kid can grow.
and also "back to nature" are best in my opinion, with the rival bachelor / bachelorette actually can invite you to their marriage.
both are best farming games!
I have to give back to nature a try! Just need a playstation lol
This is so satisfying to watch a speed run of one of the most nostalgic childhood game of mine. You the real mvp.
Nah you the MVP for watching lol
Youre incredibly funny and entertaining to watch. I never comment on videos but i genuinely enjoy watching you. thank you for all you do!
Thanks so much! That really means a lot! I'm glad you enjoy watching my stuff!
Loved playing another wonderful life growing up. The sound of rain while bopping around town felt so peaceful.
Yeah some of the nostalgia isn't replicated in this version, but it's still pretty good in my opinion lol
Hey thanks for uploading this. I was on year 2 before I got some neurological issues on my hands. I bought the remake at launch. I’m kinda recovering but who knows if I’ll ever be able to handle that many button inputs to see my gameplay through. Seeing the end of your play through got me nostalgic- especially today that I’m getting a bad flare up. This game is so sweet and full of heart. A lovely video & amazing narration. I feel like I got some closure :)
Thanks so much for watching friends. I'm sorry to hear about the shit hand you were dealt. I'm hoping that someday you'll be able to finish your playthrough, friendo
Never played any of the SoS games but I watched this video from start to finish and really enjoyed it, great work! I even got quite emotional at the end, those cut scenes really are special. I bought FoMT recently in the Steam Summer Sale and can't wait to get stuck into my first SoS game :-)
Thanks so much for watching! FoMT is a great choice and definitely a solid game. You could probably sink 200+ hours into it!
100%ing this game rn and all the spreadsheets and digging wore me down, came here to see someone going through the same hell i am :')
You can do it solider 🫡 I believe in you
hey mate got a question ive missed a few requests will these appear back in heavon mode and will i be able to still do 100 if ive missed a few? currently in the 5th year nearly finshed game
Sorry for getting to this late, but yes! The requests will continue to populate even after you reach heaven mode!
@@JackDuckGoose awesome mate cheers for the info glad I can still platinum it now haha would have gone mental if I had to start again lol
@@michaelwyld7690 Yeah that would be a serious flaw lol
Just started the video, never seen your channel before and have no clue what i’m in for but that deal to keep videos ad free with a sub is totally worth it either way ❤
Thanks friend! Hope you enjoyed the video!
I looooove stretching a three hour video over like four days by listening to it while I drive. You totally got me interested in this game!! I tried the SoS franchise before but I think I picked a dud (poot). This definitely looks more fun!
You should give it a try! PoOT is definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Personally, I reccomend Friends of Mineral Town to get the authentic experience. A Wonderful Life is definitely an outlier lol
@@JackDuckGooseI’ll make that one next on my list then for sure!!
it has taken me more than 3 weeks to watch this video full, so you can imagine how i was sobbing towards the end… great video to fall asleep to!
Thanks so much for watching the entire thing! Hope you had some good sleeps in between lol
Jamie is actually the opposite sex of the player character in spite of it referring to them as a boy. They can be married in either version and are then gendered during the wedding scene. However, the game will end if you marry them. That's only a thing in the English version though for some reason?
I'm guessing you meant to comment this in the Magical Melody video lol
Showed up on autoplay. Perfect balance of relaxing and entertaining/interesting. Thank you 🥰
Shoutout to Autoplay lol. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Hello from Canada! Just got into the AWL remake on the switch. (I'm obsessed and already married to Gordy a week later). Thanks for the ad free video! My favourite cereal is Rice Krispies. I love the texture :)
Thanks so much for watching! How are you enjoying the remake so far?
@JackDuckGoose I like it a lot! It's very nostalgic and quite graphically pretty in comparison to the old, retro style AWL that I remember. There are some changes I'm not a fan of, and it can be a bit repetitive and slow. But I can look past the changes. On the repetitive and slow note, personally, I don't mind that. Easy game for unwinding and sort of zoning out to.
I wish they would've kept features where animals got sick or passed away. Also, some of the mechanical annoyances bother me (the digging, horse sleeping, trying to gift during animations, etc). However, overall, I don't mind. I'm enjoying it :) Thanks for asking!
I hope you enjoyed it or are still enjoying it!
I echo a lot of your experience as well. I understand some of the changes that they made, but my nostalgia googles refuse to see them as "good" lol
Question, do you remember enough about this playthrough that you could make a video- or Google Doc, or whatever- that's more of a guide on how to replicate this? Like a list format of what you need to buy on what days, what events need triggered by a certain day? What time you were going to bed, were you watering crops twice a day, etc?
A major one would be which days you did the dig site (and what timeframe) and which you dedicated to fishing.
Sorry, but I'm really interested in the idea of 100%ing at least the first year for my own playthrough.
I definitely remember everything, but putting it into words without being prompted is difficult. It's pretty easy to answer your questions though. I went to bed around 10:30 or 11 PM almost every single day.
I watered crops twice a day, right after I woke up and right before I went to sleep everyday (unless I forgot).
I was in the digsite pretty much every day barring the 3rd and 8th of every season when it's closed. It's one of the large reasons why my daughter in this series became in academic. It's a great resource for gifts in Year 1 and remains a great resource for money Year 2 and beyond. What I will say is for the digsite is once you befriend everyone and no longer have use for the items as gifts, I would get the new items in the beginning of every chapter, then only dig up golden items. So, if I could see them sprouting out of the dirt OR if I could dig once in the spots that already have been touched, but there wasn't any item sticking out, and find a golden object, I would dig those. If all I could see and uncover were regular items after I befriended everyone, I left and did something else.
For me, fishing was simple; I wanted to get all 4 sizes of every fish, so I spent a lot of time fishing in the evenings. This made getting the rod upgrades quick and provided a lot of gift items in the form of raw fish and sashimi.
For cutscenes, I followed this guide on Fogu: fogu.com/sos5/ There are three big categories; Heart Events, Rival events, and "random" events. If you navigate to the bachelors and bachelorettes, it shows you the conditions needs to activate their heart events. There's an entire section for Rival events here: fogu.com/sos5/events/rival_events.html and the Random events page here tells you how to get all the cutscenes you can see and what season and chapter you can see them in: fogu.com/sos5/events/random_events.html
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions. Or you could contact me on twitter/discord!
@@JackDuckGooseI have no idea why UA-cam wouldn't show your reply to me until today, because I've been checking every few days since I made the initial comment! Thank you for the answers, I really appreciate it.
I think the only questions that I have left relate to the friendship side of things, at least for right now. Did you talk to everyone everyday? Did you give everyone gifts everyday, and if so did you give them the max number possible or just try to give them at least one a day?
I can tell from the video that you seem to have prioritized the dateable NPCs and Daryl, then worked worked your way from the most accessible to the least accessible NPCs.
Thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions!
@@alchemysaga3745 For this play through, I definitely did not talk to everyone everyday or give everyone a max amount of gifts a day. I pretty much went through friendships in clumps. The first clump was people I knew weren't going to be in Chapter 2 and people that had cutscenes only available in Chapter 1. Those people would get 1-2 gifts a day starting out. Bachelors and bachelorettes were easier since their heart events worked towards friendship and affection, so I mainly focused on them, daryl, nina, and hugh early-game.
Sensory issues surrounding milk & mild lactose intolerance means I don't do cereal all that often (lest i commit the food crime of using water instead of milk for some sort of moisture) but I can always ignore those issues when it comes to reeses puffs
Damn, Reeses puffs have crazy pull I guess lol
@JackDuckGoose I'm also incapable of not getting the Reese's Puffs rap stuck in my head whenever I think about them. Advertising has won in this case
@@MarsCBG Peanut butter chocolate flavorrrrrr
Hi! would you ever consider doing this with Pioneers of Olive Town? (just asking out of curiosity)
I've considered it, but there are so many games ahead of it on my list. Between Animal Parade, a Rune Factory Entry, and DS, it's hard to fit it in there lol
I watch this and it’s part 2 multiple times a day! I have chronic fatigue so I sleep a lot ❤ it’s so perfect for falling asleep- but it’s also super entertaining
Thanks so much! Hopefully I can help with the sleep lol
Frosted Flakes are classic but Krave has been a more recent obsession.
Fantastic work on this!
Thanks so much! I've never tried Krave even though there is so much advertising power behind it lol
The later years wouldn't feel like such a slog if the game had rival marriages and more events. If the marriage candidates started families, maybe the player's kid could get married at the end. Whoever they choose to marry could correspond with their chosen career.
Out of all of the HM games, this is the one that would have benefitted the most from rival marriage and it baffles me that they didn't add it!! It's depressing to see the lonely, ageing marriage candidates.
I agree. Rival marriages are a fragment of past RPG's that I wish would return, but apparently the Japanese audience had a mega distaste for them so they just stopped including them in games lol
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING tops Cocoa Pebbles. It’s thin and small and crunch and chocolate and if you eat it fast enough it’s still crunchy even when wet! Also, awesome on the no ads! Love this video gonna use it to go to sleep tonight 😂
Hope you had a good sleep, brother!
Wow my favorite sponsor for this video, well done on that. :)
The only good type of sponsor, fr
When I was little and playing this for the first time on my gqmecube, I had Another Wonderful Life. Because I was like 10, thought that Marlin Matthew) and Gustafa were "old and ugly" so I married Rock. I had NO idea that time like actually passed and was SO scandalized that Marlin and and Gustafa barely looked like they changed in year 2 where Rock had full grey lmao XD
They still do that in this version as well. The women in the valley still look great over time while the men get old and ugly lol
If you ever buy a hot bottle bag be careful with how you use it. You can essentially slowly cook your skin and get a hot bottle rash(erythema ab igne) which can potentially leave permanent marks.
....did you have a bad time?
@@JackDuckGoose almost! I noticed in time that my skin was getting red marks that wouldnt go away immediately so I did some research. Luckily i got no permanent marks
@@Kemmicals Good to know! I've almost only used cool pads so I'm good lol
@JackDuckGoose also I gotta apologize for my out-of-context comment ending up on your video. I thought I sent it to a difrent video where they advertised it and didn't realize my mistake. You must've been a bit confused😭
@@Kemmicals Lol I was, but who am I to question a rogue citizen campaigning for the awareness campaign against hot bottle bags
Milk after, unless it's oatmeal (which I make with milk, because it tastes better that way to me), in which case, I add milk first, then oatmeal, fruit, and any other seasonings I feel like (honey, maple, brown sugar, etc), before cooking. My favorite cereals are Lucky Charms (because dehydrated marshmallows are AWESOME), and Maple/Cinnamon Chex (because YUM).
Never played any of the Harvest Moon games (thought I've played many of the games that owe their existence to this charming progenitor), but have to say it was touching. Misted up a little at the "it's been a wonderful life" ending.
Great content! Looking forward to additional journeys we're invited to join along.
Cheers!
Thanks so much! I appreciate your attention to detail with cereals and oatmeals. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that gets super specific with the order of making something as benign as oatmeal lol
@@JackDuckGoose *laughs* Well, oatmeal can be just, you know, oat-meal, or it can be an amazing breakfast experience: warm and mellow as a warm binkie straight from the dryer, or a death-metal harbinger of the fruitocalypse. What was it they used to say about Campbell's Chunky soups? The soup that eats like a meal? Yeah. Like that. Way too much info, I know. -.-;
3 hours, no ads. Liked and subbed. Simple as
Thanks, geez. Appreciate it 🫡
Harvest Moon DS and DS Cute are so nostalgic for me- I wonder why they reduced the bachelors and bachelorettes. I loved marrying Flora, Skye, Kai, and even considering marrying the mermaid (Lola?) but never got around to it.
I'll say this, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life was released on the Gamecube in 2003 and Harvest Moon: DS was released in 2005. So, DS was modeled on AWL, and they added characters in to flesh it out. Why they didn't include those characters into the remake, I don't know. I would've loved to see Kai, Skye, Leia, and the Witch Princess in 3D, but my guess is they wanted to keep the remake faithful to the special edition of AWL
engagement: i dont actually have a favorite cereal.
thank you for the big vid jack, i always hit that like straight away ❤ i also still agree flora shouldve been a bachelorette 😬
Thanks so much for watching and liking! I really appreciate it!
P.S. Flora was done dirty and I will avenge the disrespect
another masterpiece to add to my collection of videos to watch while i draw, loved it !!
Thanks so much! Whatcha drawing?
I've been putting your videos as background noise while working since being recommended one of your videos. Pretty sure I've watched (listened) to this video twice already- third time is this comment and it still feels as if this is my first time watching haha. Hope to see more harvest moon/sos videos soon!
Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I've told my wife that people will put my videos on for background noise or to fall asleep and she always says, "no way. you're voice isn't relaxing enough" so it I always get a good laugh when someone mentions that. I definitely have more HM/SOS stuff in the mixer lol
I LOVE Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran!
Aside from that, love this content. Your voice is really nice to listen to, you speak at a great pace that scratches my brain, and the game looks really, really fun. I'm only about 20 minutes in, but it looks like a game I'd enjoy! It sems very Animal Crossing meets Stardew, and thsts soemthing I've been craving for a bit. I'm glad this got recommended to me!
Thanks so much for watching! It definitely is a solid game, especially if you've never played the original! It goes on sale pretty often so I would wait for the next time it goes half off lol
Just like to say you really did well we this vid man. It help me to understand the game alot better to play so nice one. Really well done😎
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! I hope you enjoy playing it. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!
Banana nut Cheerios are absolutely amazing. Just a little sweetness from the banana nut, delightful.
I’m a new viewer but I respected your intro and liked your video format, very well done. You got a subscriber outta me. Thank you.
Thanks so much! It's great to have you! P.S. that's a solid cereal order. Cherrios used to have these little Yogurt versions where some cherrios had a sweet, dried yogurt coating. The strawberry version of those went so hard but I don't know if they make them the same anymore lol
Do u need to keep the barn animals indoors during winter?
You don't need to keep the barn animals indoors ever since they don't get sick. I just do it for RP lol
Sad that this series is over! Hope you continue making great vids my guy!!
There's definitely more to come! Thanks so much for watching!
This video- i mean, this masterpiece, got me to relive my good ol' memories. Thank you very much dude, you have my respect.
Thanks so much for watching!
I kind of get Luna, mostly when your hardworker father suddenly appears with a christmas elf outfit
lol that would be a shock to the system
i don't often eat cereal however lidl's chocolate hazelnut pillows hit different
It's so unfortunate that LIDL's are only on the east coast
I realized I made some mistakes in my current playthrough so I'm thinking about starting over and I remembered your vids.
This is gonna sound so dumb but how do you decide which crops to plant? I know trees tend to be a major income source and I know the best rare trees to grow, but outside of making sure to plant one of everything for the encyclopedia, how do you make sure you have enough of everything for recipes and such? Do you actually sell the crops or keep them? I'm just not sure if I should be repeatedly growing gen2 crops like I would the regular base crops.
In my playthrough, I rarely sold crops outside of tree fruits. Because I knew that there were so many recipes, I pretty much saved all of my first, second, and third gen crops for recipe ingredients or they were put back into the seedmaker to replant. I used this spreadsheet to track what ingredients I needed and always made sure I had seeds in case some died or I screwed up and didn't have enough: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/e/2PACX-1vS7pyoe1C-10cM00fMfORWfMs-HJeSm5XJT468GJ3l0dq2PtkjjMtRk7ADFWkcLwShe9_hRvd5y0BfQ/pubhtml?pli=1
To answer your first question, I pretty much planted every crop I possibly could every season for the reasons mentioned above AND to level up my watering can skill so Van sold the upgrades as soon as possible.
During the first year, I mostly made money from sheep wool, which went into buying more sheep until I had a full barn, and then I started purchasing other buildings, more seeds, etc.
REESES PUFFS REESES PUFFS.
Also youre like my favorite harvest moon creator. Keep up the awesome work, Jack!
PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE FLAVOR!
thanks for watching, friend!
i found your channel today, and I love your content!! I also really enjoy how you speak throughout your video
Thanks so much! I'm glad you like it! My wife cant comprehend that people will listen to me lol
Watching this video until the ends without break . Now i feel empty after seeing the epilogue
that feel, man. thanks for watching the video!
I've never seen the cutscene with Rock and Flora on day 8, how did you trigger it?
Ahh gotcha, that's not a cutscene. I always think it's interesting when I see two villagers just talking while I run around, so I pressed in the right stick button to go first-person and just zoomed in on them chatting

Eyyyyy your southern accent came out here lol
Now i hear it throughout the rest of the vid but, tbf, southern accents are hella endearing and you do a great job with masking it, fwiw xD
This vid is still a big comfort lol
I wouldnt call out the southern accent if I werent intimately familiar with it, rest assured xD
Feels like an Arkansas or northern texas accent lol. My familys got that accent. I do too if I'm around the right people lol
Forgive me if ya dont have a southern accent and I'm assuming xD
I was born and raised in the midwest, but most of my family grew up on farms and worked doing agriculture so maybe that's where those slight accent hints can be picked up lol
@JackDuckGoose lol you sound like me. Genuinely. I'm a midwestern baby who had family with a farmer / southern midwest background. I think thats cool. Thanks for sharing! Maybe the fact im picking up on the tiny hints of accent is also reflective of my own background! Lol
@@derpkipper Lol i bet thats it. I can always tell when someone is from around the same parts I am on TV or something.
@@JackDuckGoosehell yeah! I'm happy to interact with folks from a dialectic similar background. Keep being you, i appreciate you homie!
@@JackDuckGoosealso same lol, i get that type of hunch too! XD
Ive listened to this video 4 times while falling asleep. Its comforting. My fave cereal is Fruit Loops :]
Thanks so much! Glad I could help the sleep patterns lol. Fruit loops is a solid choice!
@@JackDuckGoose you rock. Keep doing what you do!
@@derpkipper I'll try lol
I love cheerios. Not because it’s the best but because it’s so simple and I can consume it dry
Yeahhhh, cereal that is just as good dry as with milk is the best lol
I will permit you your (incorrect) opinion on Marlin/Matthew, if only because you did such a great job with the video- and were very generous to leave midroll ads off.
I do like how they added on to some of the storylines they were forced to abandon in the original version of the game, like the "Wonderfuls."
And I'm totally not biased towards Matthew because I, too, have anxiety and a chronic autoimmune issue.
As I actually played through the game, my opinions on a lot of the bachelors and bachelorettes has changed. Matthew/Marlin is definitely a riser on my ranks, whilst Gustafa and Cody dropped a few places lol
@@JackDuckGooseQuestion- do you know around when your character was sleeping during the first year? Or how often you were watering during the day? Were you gifting EVERYONE one gift a day, everyday?
I've been trying to use this as a guide on how to 100%, but I've found myself running out of time, particularly in regards to the fishing at night.
@@alchemysaga3745 Apologies for getting to this late, I was working on a new video pretty intensely. I think I've answered some of your questions in previous replies, but the one about gifting everyone on gift a day everyday is new. I didn't gift everyone 1 gift a day everyday. I worked in "clumps" for the lack of a better term. For example, I started with befriending the bachelors and bacheloreetes 'since I wanted to see their heart events and Rival events ASAP. I got them up to 6 Hearts then stopped, since once you see their 8 Heart event, you can't see rival events.
Once I got almost every bachelor up to about 6 Hearts, I worked in different clumps. Daryl was important to befriend super early since he gives you a freed seed maker. Hugh is important to befriend early since year 1 is the only year he likes milk. Nina is important to befriend early cause, well you know. And then I would work between Flora and Carter at the digsite, Lou and Tei at the inn, all the people by the bar, the fireworks bros, and the villa residents.
When it comes to actually gifting, most villagers will accept 2 to 4 gifts per day, that's why it was so important for me to collect aromatic herbs all the time and turn them into soup. Those soups along with flowers, fish, eggs, and milk made it pretty easy to befriend a character quickly if I really focused on giving them those 2-4 daily gifts.
In terms of time management, the first year is jam packed, so it's tough to prioritize. If you're having trouble, I would do this; Befriend every bachelor and bachelorette to 6 hearts then stop so you can see the Rival events that start in the Summer. Then befriend Nina, Daryl, and Hugh. Most of the missable cutscenes in Chapter 1 require friendship with them. The final heart event doesn't unlock until Winter 1, so spend the time in Summer and Fall seeing Rival Heart Event 1 and 2 for the three couples, befriending as many valley people as possible by giving them 2-4 gifts per day, and working on money by investing in sheep. You shouldn't be filling up your crop fields with crops every season. Making 4 or 5 of each crop available that season is more than enough for recipes, requests, etc.
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions!
Honey Bunches of Oats is my favorite cereal of all time
Thanks for the great video!
Thanks so much for watching! Honey Bunches of Oats is definitely a solid choice. An underrated 7.3/10 for me lol
First time watching this channel and i ended up watching the whole video. Loved it and instantly subscribed
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@JackDuckGoose Very much so. I was surprised that in the end we die.
@@blue-indoraptor5376 Yeah it's one of the few farming simulators that has a traditional plot and definite end. You can keep playing after your player "dies." Your stamina bar and appearance goes back to how it was on Day 1, but everyone around you remains the same age so it's kinda weird lol.
@JackDuckGoose yes the only real change was the old lady and Luna
can;t wait for the new story of seasons from the last update. Hopefully it gets released next year! love your content btw
I'm stoked for the new SoS! My expectations are low but I hope it's good lol
That ending had me tearing up.
All my homie get teary-eyed at the end of AWL
And how do u get so many different apparels?
There are a couple of clothing items that are DLC. Most of which I wear early game since a large majority of apparel is unlocked by completing requests in the mid-to-late-game. Let me know if you have a specific one in mind and I can tell you how to get it!
Cinnamon Life cereal is the superior cereal! Although, the discontinued Jif Cereal will always be the best!
My favorite cereal got discontinued. I yearn for one more box of eggo blueberry lol
I have been waiting for this video for sos awl since you did part 1 of your OG 100%
A fan of ✨cinema,✨ are you?
My favourite cereals are the ones without midrolls, thank you! Instantly subbed :)
I guess we have the same favorites lol Thanks for subscribing friend!
Can someone tell me how to make the afternoon tea recipe please? All the online recipe guides say it’s crop 29, crop 31, and crop 32, but that gives me the afternoon sweets recipe.
I have it on pretty good authority that afternoon tea is Crop 29, 30, and 31. Also, you could visit the harvest sprite hut every day except the day after a festival to get the recipe eventually
This was an absolutely amazing video. Super fun to watch. It made me get the game so thank you. 😊
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you enjoy the game lol
Fun story telling as you play through the game! Cool vid
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
