Harvest Moon series has died, Stardew is fresh and more interesting right now. Always good to help indies out that deserve it and this person definitely does.

Stardew is impossible to perma **** up

first harvest moon game on SNES (and only one I've played) has a time limit and you're perma stressed for time to get things done

Stardew is much less stressful and it's not a game you can mess up in and miss things

Yup. 4 is getting an enhanced port with added special features.

Rune Factory 5 is also currently in development.

Super stoked that the series isn't finished.

Stardew Valley is Stardew Valley.

Harvest Moon has mutated into a two-headed monster. One head carries the name, but is not Harvest Moon. The other head is Harvest Moon, but is not called that.

I feel like Harvest Moon needed to make it's characters more developed but instead they messed with the mechanics in an unpleasant way, focusing on making them smartphone friendly.

Just so you know, Harvest Moon still lives. The people who made old Harvest Moon started a new series called Story of Seasons. It literally is Harvest Moon just under a new name

Stardew is modernized and currently more supported than Harvest Moon (I know ConcernedApe still has ideas in mind for the game). It's also got mod support if you care for that, and it's available on multiple popular platforms (PC and Switch, think there's a mobile version? Idk)

I liked both, but Harvest Moon died due to the publisher debacle and shows no signs of revival (there is a new Doraemon cross over game but idk) hence Stardew Valley got to sit on an empty throne unchallenged right at the right time.

That is what annoyed me about Harvest Moon. It felt like you had to always hurry the fuck up, be perfect in nearly everything, and plan every single move of every single day in advance.

I recall reading somewhere the devs where actually happy with stardew valleys success because the purchase rate of old harvest moon games went up around the same time and they felt it was connected.

This. Like I said, check out Story of Seasons

The people who used to make HM left and made a new company. The old company with new crappy people continue to make "Harvest Moon".

The original crew at the new company make Story of Seasons and it is Harvest Moon just under a new name

There are 2 Story of Seasons games so far

Story of Seasons

Story of Seasons Trio of Towns

Both on 3ds

It's not the original crew. Virtually all of the original crew left after Animal Parade, including the series creator. Just check the credits for Animal Parade and Trio of Towns online--you'll find almost no names in common, and most of them will be listed under Special Thanks, if memory serves. Marvelous bought out the original creators and when they left after AP, Marvelous brought in a brand new team of people to keep making BokuMono games. They're also the ones who decided to release the games under a new name in the west, rather than Natsume refusing to license the HM trademark. It's cool if you don't like their games, but honestly, farm simulation games are an underserved market. More options are always a good thing.

Why do you like Stardew Valley and not Harvest Moon?

Because Harvest Moon is a series that has always been on Nintendo systems I I never owned and never had any desire to own (except for the very first game, which was released on the SNES after I'd already traded my SNES in for a PS1). Whereas Stardew was easy to buy and download for the PS4 that is currently my dominant system.

For me, there really isn't much more to it than that.
