Board 8 > Harvest Moon 64

(+) Yeah! (+)

I liked the original, but 64 was the peak for me
---

Karen was the hot babe.

I actually went for Ann when I played, but Karen would be my girl nowadays.
---

for me Ann => Maria > Popuri > Elli >> Karen

...I don't think that's changed much since
---

Annnnnn
---

Karen is most def the hottest, and the one I would always go for, both in game and the types of women I seek out in real life.

but in my older age, I think I prefer Popuri. She has genuine passion for life, and a good family.
---

Always Karen. Always.
---

maria
---

Real talk tho:

no doubt maria would be the best in bed, hands down.

these uncultured swine just don't understand

Ann was the best in 64 but Elli was my choice in FoMT (which was better than 64 imo).
---

Hmm...

My first game was also the only game I remember finishing. My wife was Maria and only a handful of townspeople showed up for my year three celebration. It was a quiet party, and I remember it for how little I really interacted with the town. I did quite enjoy visiting the library and talking with the cute shy girl who worked the desk, but with every subsequent playthrough, I spent more time trying to woo everyone in sight and going to the library and Mayor's house on the other side of town usually was too out of the way to go to consistently or before close.

The more I think about my future playthroughs, the less certain I am of who I would decide is my favorite girl. I would always end up marrying Elli or Karen, but I don't really know if that had as much to do with how much I liked them (which I honestly still do) and more how saving the vineyard and saving Ellen are directly tied to getting their hearts up as soon as possible. So most of my first year would be dedicated to these two (and Kai and Cliff) at the expense of going to the farm and getting to know Ann.

It's tough. All four of them are really good. Maria's quiet, friendly, fun to see open up and smile as you meet with her every day to discuss books or bugs. But I also feel for Harris because he's such a hard worker and good friend, and I get depressed seeing him always at the bar when I marry Maria. All the other bachelors I don't give a damn about their romantic heartaches, but Harris... Maria's a special girl.

Elli's easily the cutest and best housewife mechanically, and I love her cakes. She's the one I most enjoy talking to. Karen's the hottest and getting our drinks on is the best. Ann... I should play again just to get to know Ann more because I love her spunky tomboy cheerfulness.

Oh, Popuri? No. Girl waters the sidewalk.

God, why did I end up voting Elli?!

Elli spends 90% of your marriage eating cake and complaining about how fat she is, and you just know when she hits 34 she's going to be one of those passive aggressive people who puts down women who "can't land a husband"

def the worst one.

Karen best

Well, maybe those women should've landed a husband if they didn't want to be put down

Elli all the way
---

I played this game once on a rental over 15 years ago, but I distinctly remember Ann being my favorite.
---

Unless I am mistaken, there were girls from the vineyard, ranch, florist, bakery, and library. Across my two files, I'm pretty sure that I married the girl from the vineyard in one and the other was from florist or ranch (I'm leaning toward the former).
---

i don't even remember who maria is

always karen
never not karen

p sure she is a tier higher than any other waifu in the series. possibly 2 tiers
---

Karen > Ann > Popuri > Elli > Maria

Popuri > Karen > Ann > Elli > Maria

I prefer the top three pretty easily over the other two. I hold a soft spot in my heart for Popuri because HM64 was my first harvest moon and Popuri was my wife in my first playthrough.
---

I kinda want to play HM64. I've played BtN, BtN SE, FoMT, and MFoMT, but not 64 yet.

Using the amalgamation of their counterparts I vote Elli(e). Mary as the runner up.
---

Always went with Maria in this game even though Karen on paper is more my type-- something about the execution didn't quite click. Never was much for HM Waifus in general though.
---

Maria is best. Quiet library chick who knows her way around a bug? And she's the mayor's daughter?

I never pursued anyone else and i was mortal enemies with the mailman so he would not try to steal her away from me.
---

Ann always

Karen is an alcoholic and obvious damaged goods. Have fun when she cheats on you then takea your ass for child support four years from now.

Elli is a cake-fueled carbo bomb waiting to happen. Shes never losing that baby weight so unless youre cool going hoggin for fifty years, stay away, Jose.

Maria is ugly.

Popuri is stupid and boring. She also has a redneck rancher for a dad and good luck keeping his drunk ass away from your home life.

Ann is best girl.
---

I voted for Ann, then realized I've never actually played the 64 version. I just remember Ann from the original.
---

snes ann is the better ann so thats fair
---

Ann is #2 girl on SNES but that is still incorrect
