Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is a remake of the original GameBoy Advance games, which themselves were a remake of the PlayStation 1 games. The remake offers several new features, new scenes, new characters, modern tweaks, and updated character designs.
For those unfamiliar with the game, Friends of Mineral Town follows the classic formula for the series. Inheriting a farm from your grandfather, you’ll quickly find yourself raising animals, growing crops, participating in festivals, digging in the mines, befriending the townsfolk, and possibly even starting a family with 16 potential partners.
If you’re already familiar with the original PlayStation or GameBoy Advance versions, you might be wondering what new features are added, or how certain features work now.
To start with, there are two new marriage candidates. Jennifer is a young woman who recently moved to Mineral Town in an effort to escape city life and connect with nature, and Brandon is a world-famous sculptor who has moved in with Gotz, the local carpenter, to pursue wood carving.
Regardless of which partner you choose, courtship is also expanded with a new “dating” phase before marriage. The original game’s heart events became candidates’ friend events, and brand new exclusive events have been added which are seen only after giving your special someone a Preserved Flower. You can also marry any potential candidate regardless of gender, with no significant changes.
In addition, there are also new farm animals, new crops, two new player character designs to choose, player skin tone options, the ability to change outfits, and new pets outside the original dog that was available in the classic game. Additional info beneath the break.
