Breakdown
It would appear that this installment of Harvest moon is going to focus heavily on exploration and discovery. With Crops seemingly going to be initially locked. Thus resulting in the player having to venture the world. Attempting to find every possible crop variant available. Something that is sure to be a pleasing focus for everybody.
With the discovery side of the game being the most talked about thing. We have to just wait and see if Natsume Inc. Keeps in mind Harvest moons roots. ensuring there is no dip in quality to the farming aspect of the game. Not leading the franchise into something foreign of its own design.
Natsume Inc. Have a great track record of delivering great games. So if there is anyone who can deliver a well balanced Exploration, farming simulator, RPG. Incorporating all this into Harvest Moon: One World. It would be them.
