Famitsu featured✃ a two-page spread detailing Marvelous’ announcement in its most recent issue as well ꦓas some gameplay images showcasing the protagonist of FoMT, Pete, in action. From the looks of it, the new game will give players the choice between playing as a boy or a girl— like more recent Harvest Moon titles— whereas the originals split this option between the two games (the player character being a boy in FoMT and a girl in MFoMT).

Players will also be able to cho𝔉ose either the classic FoMT/MFoMT protagonists’ appearances or new alternate designs - and it’s not just the protagonists who are getting a makeover. With the anno🐻uncement showing updated redesigns of characters Popuri, Karen, Rick, and Cliff, it’s safe to say all NPC🔜s are going to be revamped in the remake. The bottom right corner of the spread also seems to tease at the addition of some brand new characters.

With all that said, North American Harvest Moon fans might have to hold th🅠eir breath a little longer. While the remake is slated to release in Japan on October 17th under the origiౠnal title Bokujou Monogatari: Saikai no Mineral Town (Ranch Story: Mineral Town of Reunion), there’s no telling when— or if— it’ll be coming to North America.

Long-time Harvest Moon fa🌸ns will remember the licensing kerfuffle in 2014, wh꧅en Marvelous Inc. stopped licensing the Bokujou Monogatari series to Natsume and opted instead to have Xseed Games publish its games in Nꦓorth Am༒erica. However, Natsume still held onto, effectively forcing Marvelous Inc. and Xseed to distribute new Bokujou Monogatari games under.

As Natsume continues to release Harvest Moon games toit probably doesn't have any intentions of letting go of its monopoly on the Harvest Moon brand (despite the fact that these new releases haven’t done as well without the creative direction of the origiꦍnal developers).

It’s likely that it'll object to Marvelous attempting to distribute a game that is a remake of titles it technically stജill hold rights to in North America, even if the remake is rel༺eased as a Story of Seasons game. Whether this potential conflicꩲt will turn out in Marvelous’s favour or Natsume’s, North American fans will just have to wait and see.
