This is pretty cool honestly. I assume since they are highlighting it like this, there will explicitly be an option to be referred to by gender-neutral terms or something. Off the top of my head, I can only think of one other game that lets you choose this option (Read Only Memories). Any other games specifically have NB player character options?

A few Pokemon fangames, Reborn for sure.

Borderlands: Wonderlands has body type and he/she/they pronouns as two separate selections.

AWL was my first HM game, I was very hyped for it and maybe a bit disappointed based on my standards at the time, but I'd be curious to try it again

Rumors were the next remake was going to be A Wonderful Life, DS or Tree of Tranquility. I would have preferred either DS or Tree of Tranquility but between those three, A Wonderful Life is the one that needs redemption. Hopefully they're just taking the title, the scenery and the characters and just make an awesome Story of Seasons game.

More interested in that locked shed on the farm.
And the beach they use for the opening cutscene and then never again.
Also curious if there'll be any new characters, I got kinda tilted by how all the same characters had slightly different names in the trailers.

The body types are "this one" and "that one," the pronouns are a completely different option.

Its probably not for everyone, but I enjoyed a few of the titles growing up. It's generally a chill game about growing crops/raising livestock and building relationships with the townsfolk. Stardew valley has probably perfected the genre, but im interested in this remake because I had AWL as a kid

Yeah I'm curious if there's new characters as well. In the trailer there's a shot of what looks like you and Cody with a baby, so it seems like there's new marriage candidates at least

Nice, AWL was my first Harvest Moon game back on the Gamecube. I got the Special Edition on PS4, but it's like two steps forward and three steps back in terms of what it adds and removes from the GC version. There's really like no one ideal version of this game (not even Another Wonderful Life is perfect), so here's hoping this remake will address all the shit they messed up in previous versions.

AWL is the only Harvest Moon I ever played and I never finished it. I got bored in one of the later chapters. Not sure I'd have the patience to finish it now, but it's awesome that they have those options now.

Off the top of my head, Boyfriend Dungeon also has a non-binary player option and three of the characters you can date are also non-binary.

Friends of Mineral Town was a GOAT GBA game. idk how the remake fared, but the original one was a landmark farming sim.it was my absolute favourite one before Stardew Valley.

A Wonderful Life is up there as one of the more beloved HM cult classic games. Never played it, but it definitely left its mark.

friends of mineral town is a remake of back to nature on the PS. I played the series from the snes release up to the last GameCube release, maybe another after but I lost interest around then.

idk if it was burnout or the change in graphics but AWL / Magical melody were the two games where I felt HM started going downhill.

i played the new remake of friends of mineral town on the switch, hated the graphics but damn does that game still hold up imo.

Something else I noticed is when the character is talking to his son, the son says something about practising to use magic. Was that random flavor text from the original game or is that a clue to something new in the game? The DS game had a witch, could be that.

That part where the 3 harvest gremlin things lived was a nice area wasted on them, the yeti only shows up in winter, so putting another character there would be welcome.

It's crazy how good FoMT was considering it was a demake of a PS1 game. I actually bought Back to Nature on PS3, and I can't get past the isometric controls - Friends of Mineral Town really streamlined the whole experience.

And yeah, the graphics seem like the biggest turn-off about the remake. I wish those fuckers at Natsume hadn't fucked them over with the Harvest Moon branding, I feel like the series lost a lot of its cuteness thanks to that lawsuit.

Oh I had no idea FoMT was a remake, I definitely have the most fond memories of that one

Yeah i avoided the fomt remake because the art was so ugly >_> the AWL character models look pretty decent this time, im glad they've dropped the massive head/tiny body look

Natsume used to localise them (badly) and named it Harvest Moon in the west but then Marvellous told them to fuck off but Natsume have the rights to the name Harvest Moon and started making there own awful off brand games while Marvellous changed the western name to Story of Seasons. @TeaMilk

Story of Seasons began after A New Beginning was released. If you play any Harvest Moon game after 2013, it wasn't made by the original creators.

Yeah. I been selling the line that Stardew Valley made Harvest Moon absolete. Cause everytime I try a Harvest moon newer than AWL, it feels super dated and boring. And all I can think is, why would I played this instead of SV lol. I grew up with HM too. N64 version was my shit.

I saw a screenshot where the female protag married Nami and had a kid. So that's confirmed.
The question is if they're going to have to add more overt magic to the remake to facilitate this, or if they're going to to the stork delivery thing.
The kid in the trailer mentions training to use magic so now there's two possible clues.

If there's magic in there I hope it has some gameplay uses and it's not just a lore thing.
Those three harvest pixie demon things that are suspiciously interested in when your cows are about to die could use an actual function, maybe they could sell really busted magic items.
