Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is supposed to be a new spin on the Harvest Moon series (for those who don't know, the Japanese title is "Innocent Life: Shin Bokujou Monogatari," the "Bokujou Monogatari" being the Japanese title for Harvest Moon [it litterally means "Farming Story"], and the added "Shin" meaning "New," making this game's actual title "Innocent Life: New Harvest Moon." ^_^.)

Here's a quote from Wikipedia about the game:



So guys, discuss what you think, okies? ^_^

(Cut straight from Ushi no Tane)

- You play as the boy, an "innocent life", created by Professor Hope. It is his wish to help you be more human by doing human work such as growing flowers and vegetables.

- In the past the south island was home to two sets of people. Volcano people lived in the southwest portion of the island while Easter lives on the east side.

- There was a conflict between the two groups over good, fertile land. Easter had a lot of land while Volcano had very little. The conflict angred the spirits of the island, who sealed off the land so neither could use it. The land is still sealed.

- The Easter side was eventually abandoned (apparently they did loose the conflict) and now it lays in ruin. The Volcano people still live in Volcano Town.

The first online Harvest Moon could be on the PSP!?

Unless someone just got the screenshots mixed up.

But here's hoping this means IL will have an online mode.

According to my husband:

In gaming news: GameStop is now taking reserves for

• Innocent Life (PSP, $40), due 5/1/07

Got ahold of this one, and I've gotta say, it does have its pluses. The Bask&t rail system is fun; it's fun to make your own little basket train. ^__^ What I don't like is that you have to wait for each event to occur as its supposed to according to a predetermined storyline, instead of having the freedom to unlock things earlier if you so desire. This sometimes leaves you feeling high and dry and, well, bored as you wait for the next update, and then sometimes it doesn't even give you the one you want! (Example: I was waiting to gain access to the next part of the mine area. I go to the story event on Sunday, expecting to unlock it....and instead I get a kitten. Yay, kitten, but now I have to wait a whole 'nother week. :sigh smile

I enjoyed this title until....8 sundays later and found things being the same day in and day... AND WTH no marriage come on marrying someone usually is a quater of the game to half it
