"We wanted to provide a balanced choice of marriage candidates, with each potential bachelorette having her own strengths and weaknesses," said Taka Maekawa, Producer of Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. "We wanted to make sure they felt three-dimensional so that players would want to get to know them better."
In Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, players will experience the role-playing farm simulation in a three-dimensional setting for the first time. The game has a fully customizable world, and players can customize their field in any way they see fit: from a field full of tulips like you might see in Holland, to a valley filled with water like Venice, the choice is up to you. You've never played a Harvest Moon game quite like this!
