Yes, pixies, Harvest Sprites to be precise, and the Harvest Goddess come to meet you and explain the plight Sugar Village is facing.
You arrive to find a row of fields, a pasture, a barn, chicken coop, well, and magical pixies. You play the role of a 21-year-old male who has taken it upon himself to run his grandfather’s farm after the old codger bites the big one. Well, I received it, played it, and can now say: consider me piqued.
I wasn’t particularly anticipating the game I’d never played a Harvest Moon title in my life, and with Dragon Warrior VII and Golden Sun on my plate, I didn’t see how a farming sim could pique my interested. I was sent Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland by Natsume because I was the only one with a spare PS2 at the moment.
