Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life Looks A Lot Like... Well, A Wonderful Life

I can't wait for this, I was dreaming for this remake for so many years.
It's still in my top 5 favourite games of all time, and this game defined a huge part of who I am, and my gaming tastes.
I don't think it looks souless, i'm not a fan of the style choices SOS have made since the 3DS titles don't get me wrong, but this looks exactly as you say, like a wonderful life and though it might be heavily biased with my love and deep nostalgia, that's all it needs to be. The fact that it's real and I finally get to replay my favourite game on my favourite console is a dream come true to me.

I love this game can you tell? XD

Honestly so long as they tighten up the pacing on it it'll be worth the investment for me. The original game has a lot to love about it but it's pretty hard to really stick with 1), due to the lack of any real meaning to the calendar since there are no festivals, 2), the often grindy elements like cows only producing milk for a year between giving birth, and 3), having to pick your poison between the Gamecube version having a bunch of superfluous years while the PS2 version runs terribly.

Something that runs better than the PS2 version while having its reduced span of time is really the biggest thing I ask of it.

Shame it's so far away, the Gamecube game was my favourite lazy Sunday title.

Doesn't look soulless to me either. I love that the character animations still have a stiffness to them as it makes it clear what characters are doing, rather than them having a bunch of pointless added animations just for show. The art style looks really nice too. If I want realistic graphics, my Gamecube copy is ready to go, but for something more stylized I can play this

I want to play as Boy character and looking for the dudes and having boy child. 😊
Matthew, Rock and Cody are my candidates. 😁
Hopefully the game have multiple slots at least 3 slots so I can experience with 3 different husbands.

Also....
Please bring back the Dhibe Cake for easy money grinding.

"the general look and tone of this remake; it feels a bit souless (sic) somehow..?"

nah, this he was always like that. I had (have) it on GameCube, thought it seemed solid but I couldn't get into it.

to be fair, the only games of type I've actually gotten into are Stardew valley and OG SNES harvest moon in the 90s, and I tried em all (or, a lot of them.)

Is there a side quest where you walk through an AU of your town where you were never born?

If not, missed opportunity.

The hard part is going to be resisting buying this in January.

Never played the original, so I cannot wait to eventually get to play this on Switch. Shame it's such a long wait 😢

This was such a good game for me growing up! I can't wait to see if they also do Magical Melody as that was one of the pinnacles of the series for me.

I can’t wait. Absolutely love this game.

The art style looks low budget to me. Certainly not AAA. Still ages until release so I haven’t given up on this just yet as I liked it on the Gamecube

The aspect I like the the family either gender character starts family and continues on. That makes it worth collecting all these series. Of which, I need to get them done as well. I don't AAA graphics for these games the design and fun nature of the game makes it all worth it. Plus being portable on Switch what more can one ask for.

I loved A Wonderful Life and Another Wonderful Life, but... why does this game look so cheaply done? It makes Pokemon Sword/Shield look like a graphical masterpiece. lol
