Following on from the announcement that physical pre-orders of the game will get a Buffy the Buffalo plush, XSEED has added another boon on for potential fans of the upcoming Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town: a Buffalo costume. Is there something we don't know about buffalos? Should we be investing in the bison market? Please, XSEED. Tell us your bovine secrets.
Now, given that we just posted a story about the pitfalls of pre-ordering before you read reviews, you'd think we'd be hesitant to recommend pre-ordering a game just because it comes with goodies, but look at its wee little nose! And its little hooves!
Luckily, the Buffalo costume will be available outside of pre-orders - you'll just have to pay extra for it.
The "Expansion Pass Set", which includes the game and all the DLC that adds new marriage candidates and old favourites to the game, has a 10% discount for pre-orders. The Expansion Pass on its own has a 15% Early Bird discount, until the 12th April, which is about three weeks after the game releases.
Pre-orders are being taken now on the eShop, if you really can't wait to dress like everyone's favourite cow variant. Don't say we didn't warn moo!

Show me a home, where the buffalo roam, and I'll show you a house with a very muddy carpet.
In before political comments about people wearing buffalo costumes.
That's an awkward bonus, but it's what people like. Edit: I wonder if it has any in-game effects?
I'm looking forward to playing this.
respect gay rights if you want it being preordered.✊🌈
How can I, in all good consciousness, invest in a new Story of Seasons when Rune Factory 5 is right around the corner?
@duffmmann why not both!
@duffmmann My thoughts exactly. I'm still only in my first year in the Mineral Town remake, and the 1.5 Stardew update is out. So much farming game, so little time
I was sold on this already, but now I'm more sold
I’m Buffy! RAWR! (A snuffle or moo isn’t scary or cute so I am sticking with rawr. )
Would a buffalo roll his eyes if he saw my farmer dressed like that?
I do wish game artists would stop making every female character pigeon-toed though.
LOL
I prefer normal outfits as the best choice.
Please do not mention Harvest Moon in the same company as Story of Seasons. It only encourages Natsume.
After playing rune factory 4 special and absolutely loving it, I bought friends of mineral town, hoping for something interesting and more focused on farming. There is no combat and a lot less of everything else. This was my biggest game disappointment of 2020.
So I'm looking forward to buying rune factory 5 and completely ignoring this one.
I never though I needed a "bubble"-style buffalo in my life. I love it.
The costume is cute too.
Anyway: Harvest Moon, Story of Seasons, Natsume, Story of Moon, Harvest Seasons, Marvelous, Natume.
Not gonna lie, that is a very cute looking costume! ☺️
@Rhaoulos It's also a remake of a gba game, and while they added a lot of stuff, most of it was empty fluff. I got it because nostalgia, but RF is definitely the superior series imo
@Eel I think you need a Buffy the Buffalo hat!
@Ryu_Niiyama that does make me wonder if you can use the costume pieces separately. That way we could go buffalo-casual to town.
sorry ill just go to my local mcdonalds and eat me some spicy buffalo sauce
