Yes I know that the series is still alive with Story of Seasons but the fact they had to change the name at all says a lot about copyright law and how dumb it is.

It's sad that the games are now handled by much better companies?

SoSAWL looks kinda disappointing.
I was hoping they'd go a bit crazier.

Much better companies? All of the post split Harvest Moon games I've played have been terrible. Story of Seasons is much better in every conceivable way, or even Rune Factory.

Stardew Valley

Honestly picking up and playing SoS Friends of Mineral Town makes me realize just how much Rune Factory and Stardew improved on that formula. I'm not even sure what SoS offers over those two anymore

Story of Seasons is Harvest Moon. Harvest Moon right now is a Frankenstein monstrosity run by a company who don't know anything about it.

Nostalgia I guess. The most recent SoS games have been pretty bad too so that series might as well be as dead as Harvest Moon is

Why do they all look like shitty mobile games? I don't need AAA graphics, but at least make them look as good as Rune Factory

Regardless of the naming situation, the newer Story of Seasons games aren't really worth playing either.

The characters in Stardew Valley also kind of suck compared to most SoS games.

Stardew Valley is a totally different game, wherein you have so many different things to do, but because of that, there's basically never enough time to do all you want to in a day. Until you unlock the mine carts, you basically need to take a whole day to do anything in the mines, for example.

On the other hand, SoS is way more focused on a more "do whatever bro who cares" kind of vibe - you can run around town to talk to everyone and still have time to mine that day. Stardew Valley, especially in the early game, is really punishing with how limited you are to do... basically anything, and that can easily turn a lot of people off, where in SoS games people are pretty much immediately friendly to you and you don't cripple yourself farming in your first Spring.

I also love the chibi vibe of FoMT - the style of Stardew Valley isn't terrible, but the SoS games that go all out with their art style absolutely blow it away.

Rune Factory is almost a different problem - where because there's this big RPG element to it, everything else feels pretty simplified, until you dig a bit and then its complicated to a "how the **** was I supposed to know how to forge items together for an elemental boost?" and the actual chill farming vibe is a little forgotten because there's a story with actual stakes going on.

Basically, SoS is a more accessible version of Stardew Valley, and Rune Factory is going for something totally different.

I haven't played the "new" Harvest Moon games since the weird copyright stuff, so I can't say much for those.

The best Story of Seasons in recent(ish) times was the Doraemon one IMO (the first one, I haven't tried the second).
