What a super fun and nostalgic time Josh, it was nice to finally have someone to talk real good old Harvest Moon lore with! ππ I'll probably always mess up the Portal/Portable thing haha. Thanks for having me π₯°
Magical Melody is my favorite game too and 64 is my first too
Lovey, really enjoyed hearing you guyβs experiences with Harvest Moon. Wish you could have spoken more about it. Thoroughly enjoyed and I hugely vouch for Animal Parade, I had an amazing time with that game, youβd just need to get over the slow clock duration per day.
Ahh what a duo! Loved this episode π
WOW the ultimate cross over episode
You made me want to play magical melody π
That "REALLY?" from Ircha hahaha! π I get it though, she is very inspiring! Her channel made me try a lot of games that's outside of my comfort zone!
I would love to see you play a multiplayer game with Ircha! Fae Farm maybe? π§ββπ§ββπ§ Again, great podcast episode! I Lovett!!!
Wow two of my favorite gaming youtubers π and I love the hair through the hat hahaha
Looooved this collab! I love Ircha, ofc I love Josh – I enjoyed every second of the podcast. You two also have an amazing energy together, I'd definitely watch more collab videos with you! What a vibe β¨οΈ
We gotta get you guys playing the wii and 3DS titles. They were so good! Sidenote even though it was brought up briefly, the Atelier series is top notch if you haven't tried it before I know it's not typical for the channel but they are very similar to Rune Factory imo.
I got addicted to rune factory first and then futuristic harvest moon for psp. Grand bazaar was my second main series addiction because of the festivals, windmills, and bug catching. Animal parade is the second I finished after futuristic harvest moon. A new beginning is the only other one I finished the story for. Trio of towns may be my favorite but I loved all of the 3ds games. I can't get into the console ones older than magical melody because they're too fast and stressful for me. I did get pretty far in the first gb game on the 3ds virtual console. I really don't like any of the switch games but pioneer is probably my favorite other than the Doraemon spinoffs.
Ircha could have faked overalls with an apron or something π
Hello Josh , Next video dont be so formal(less script) β¦.π
Great podcast! This was fun to watch and very nostalgic. π
your cosplay is so good!! looks amazing on u
I think they're gonna remake magical melody, but I wish they would do Animal Parade. I have never played any of the older games, in spite of owning a wii at the time, I just never knew farming sims existed! Wish I had.
Such a lovley podcast with two amazing creators! π
Regarding the "dark tone of AWL" (loosely quoting Ircha on this):
As Josh said: AWL is Yasuhiro Wada's favorite Harvest Moon (IGN Interview "Chatting with the creator of Harvest Moon, IDK if links are allowed in here lol) because it is what he envisioned for Harvest Moon all along "leading a full and happy existence from beginning to end" ("Yasuhiro Wada waxes nostalgic about Harvest Moon" on engadget).
Just something I wanted to put in there midst hearing this podcast haha. Btw loving the narration of josh in this!
When i search about harvest moon in youtube these two are the top
I feel like I never meet people who were addicted to Harvest Moon games in my town, I loved this collab! I LOVED Harvest Moon DS Cute. I miss when there were extremely challenging tasks, like waking the princess in the mines. Loved Magical Melody too, the pig was so cute! Definitely miss the darker and more difficult features. They're a little too cutsey now. Maybe I'm too dark but I actually loved the town aging/passing, risk of destruction, and rival marriages.
Both of them will be an NPC in Trade Tales!
My favorite episode of the poscast so far. I know glider gives connotation of open world, but maybe its more like shortcuts like in ANB? Or like the owl from Tale of Two Towns…
Also, you should do a retrospective just on the portable Bokumono games!
This episode was Amazing! Love the cozy talk
Omg this is amazing!π€ I love both of your channels so much so hyped about this collab!!!π±π₯³π
Hi from Indonesia. Fellow Norwegian with Ircha π€ SPYxFAMILY is one anime I really want to recommend because it's always fun every episode and also has a nice progression story wise. Honestly the cutest anime so I think it will suit both of you. Fullmetal Alchemist didn't leave much of an impression for me even after finishing Brotherhood (the sequal) that's supposed to be better than the first part. If you love down to earth things like HM you might also like "Free!" And "Say: I love you" or perhaps "Ranking of Kings" that has the best characters.
Btw, thank you for helping me get into HM. I have been wanting it for a while and now I know how to go about itβΊοΈπ€β€οΈ
Hi i loved this podcast but i was wondering what you think of harvest moon island of happiness. Becaus honestly that was my first harvest moon game and to date is still my favorite since there were so many nice features. Do you think there will be a remake of that game?
