Harvestella suffered from the same issue Kitaria Fables did. They were both promoted as and appeared to be life sims with action RPG elements but they are actually action RPGs with some life sim elements on the side.

You went straight into the video. That’s so great. Thank you. No filler information. Just what I wanted to know!

The music in this game is some of the best I've ever heard in a video game, and that's not an exaggeration.

Great review ☺️ I picked the game up a couple weeks ago and I'm absolutely obsessed. Just hit the start of chapter 4 and I already have every farm upgrade built with like 400k grilla to spend haha. One thing I did notice about this review, you mentioned that you found it frustrating not being able to heal because your stomach was full. You aren't intended to use food to heal. You should be using food at a monolite to get the bonus stat buffs, and then during battle you should be healing with drinks

I recently commented on a post saying this was my goty last year. This is such an underrated game and I hope it comes to xbox and gets a sequel. This was one of the best jrpg I ever played.

Not gonna lie, I thought the blurry graphics were a design choice and I really loved it cause it felt like a moving painting ^^;;

Love the review, thanks for showing us the game! I tried it myself at a friend's place, but just never really got into the vibe. After this I'll have to try again! I especially loev the art styel, in true square enix fashion! Keep it up and keep these coming, you're doing amazing.

Excellent production value! Thank you for the review!

such a helpful review. your reviews are excellent and have all the info i want to know before buying. keep doing what you do! :) i have this in my wishlist but deleting it now as think it would just annoy me too much

Thanks for the warning about the excessive cutscenes. You prevented me wasting my money and time.

I recently started the game and I find a very annoying that I have to go back home to sleep every five minutes, I feel like I can't get anything done

Good review. The collection system is the only reason I like these kind of games. Tales of Symphonia and Rune Factory Frontier were addictive as f.

What a big doggo, so cute! Def would need more farming for me to be into it. Great review.

The time limit kept me away from this game but I think I should go ahead and give it a shot.

Hello Sir Puppers! Thank you thank you thank you for the review! Been really on the fence about this game and wanted to know more about it. I think the amount of dialogue and cut scenes that you describe would drive me a bit nuts, but I do also love collect-a-thon game mechanics. Even in games that don't necessarily have them I will often make my own. When I play different Minecraft modpacks one thing I like to do is make a wall of item's I've ticked off in a pack. For example I made a list of every resource bee in the last pack I played and ticked them off as I bred and captured them all. And of course there's Pokemon. Rule of the collect-a-thons. Thank you for yet another fantastic review. You're editing & writing style are perfect. Keep it up, amiga.

Great game. Only real problem is that your allies are stupid. They don't respond on being attacked, they'll just stand there and get murdered like nothing happens. Worst AI I've seen in a few decades.

Hundred times better looking than Rune Factory 5.

Thanks for the review; concise and quick to the point

Love the game only thing I hate is how fast time goes

Great review. Looking for a game with a good/understandable collection system. This look like it might be a contender

I wished square enix would release the OST on CD. I bought the MP3 Album... but I want it on CD

I only started playing and so far I'm not bored with it. My main problem is if I get bored with a game while playing it is where I will never return to play the game. They got a good story going for the game and I love story games for the most part, but for the combat? THE FRIGGIN COMBAT is... what gets to me. I like the idea with the job system.. but.. buuuuut.. dodging is non existent.. it's either I get to heal on time or I get hit first then back to the house.

So addicred to this hidden gem! Preordered it and am not disappointed at all. Square is killing it lately!!! Amazing review! Keep it up dude!

Looks like some games I already have and play - I dont like that you cant go in buildings you made or move them. :/

Thank you for this review!

Best part was the doggie lift

Awesomeee

Thanks for the review very informative u got ur self a sub 🎉

Want to play this game but not pay 60$ for it, a year later and price is still the same

I wasn't horribly dissapointed nor thrilled, didn't help that i played this right after the absolute masterpiece that is Xenoblade 3... i like that it feels whimsical in a way, the graphics are good, the music is good. The plot is very meh and i could go without pretty much 80% of the cutscenes and loading times. It kinda feels cheap, like something someone made in RPG Maker, but other than that, since it WAS cheap in my particular case i don't mind it

Come for the farming sim, stay for the Nier Automata plot twists and the crushing weight of the failures of mankind and human civilization.

So 3d Stardew Valley?

Man the switch is so weak. Wild lol.

I feel like this is derived from Xenoblade

i'm playing this game, i'm on chapter 4. it has its flaws that makes it boring. I want to sell a lot of my crops get insanely rich, buy updates, a lot for my house. Basically the anime Isekai nonbiri desuka. and get a waifu. But no. This game makes it boring, Crap money for getting crops, almost no base construction. No romance what so ever. no relevant decisions (every option the mc gets to choose is basically the same) even Mc face its the same if you pick boy or girl or binary or whatever. so lazy development there. Same boring quests from going point A to B> C Ineskipable boring cutscenes. The game sells you a farm game but pushes you to only rush the main story because the farming game feels incomplete.

You also have to take into account that the switch is really underpowered. Compared to PC, PS5 and Xbox it is like playing a game on your phone.

It is on the Nintendo switch so graphics aren’t going to be the same as a high end pc so it’s not going to be the same. I’m thinking on buying it for £22 but not sure
