The protagonist also meets the Harvest Sprites, who request their help in reawakening the Harvest Goddess by collecting magical music notes. A year later, a new rancher (male is by default named Adam and female is by default named Amanda) comes to Flowerbud Village, where Theodore, the town's mayor, helps set up their farm. The Harvest Goddess has turned herself to stone out of melancholy at the townspeople's disregard and a farmer named Jamie (whose gender depends on the protagonist's) is determined to save her. Players unlock some minigames through gameplay, such as unlocking the swimming minigame after attending the Beach Festival and unlocking the horse race minigame after participating in a horse race in the main game. The game includes several minigames in which up to four players can test their skills. The player can have children, own a house and land, and mine, fish, and farm across four seasons. Each gender has a choice of ten potential spouses of the opposite sex, along with the androgynous rival Jamie who is eligible for either player gender. The player can choose to be either a male or female character in the GameCube version. This does not end the game, which allows the player to continue collecting even more notes and building relationships with the townspeople. Collecting at least fifty out of a total of one hundred notes lets the player create the titular magical melody that will revive the village's protectress. Some are very obvious, such as the Second House note, but others are less obvious such as the Treasure Hoard note. These tasks are not revealed to the player aside from hints the player can gather based on the name of the notes in the Notes screen of the pause menu. The player must gather musical notes by finishing various chores and milestones.

The game has two main objectives: to wake the Harvest Goddess and to marry one of the townspeople. The Wii version in all territories added motion-sensitive controls for actions such as fishing, mining and foraging but removed the option to play as a female character.īesides Yasuhiro Wada, Harvest Moon: Magical Melody is the first entry without the involvement of the main developers from Victor Interactive Software. The game was not released on the Wii in Japan. The Wii version was later released on Apin Australia, and in North America the following year on August 25, 2009. Instead, Rising Star Games commissioned an updated version for the GameCube's successor, the Wii instead, which was released on March 14, 2008, with Nintendo of Europe remaining as distributor. The updated GameCube version was released in the United States by Natsume on March 28, 2006.Ī European release by Rising Star Games with Nintendo of Europe handling distribution was planned, but this release never saw the light of day. It is an updated version of Bokujō Monogatari: Shiawase no Uta ( 牧場物語しあわせの詩), which was released on Main Japan. I didn't reach three hearts before the scene happened though, but I did keep raising Martha's heart level during those two weeks.Harvest Moon: Magical Melody ( 牧場物語しあわせの詩 for ワールド, Bokujō Monogatari: Shiawase no Uta for Wārudo, 'Farm Story: Song/Poem of Happiness for World') is a social simulation video game for the GameCube developed by Marvelous Interactive. Triggering this scene was random for me and took about two weeks after reaching two hearts. She doesn't love eggs but she likes them and it raises your friendship points with her very quickly.Īfter you've raised your friendship level with her to two hearts you need to keep visiting her until a scene triggers and she tells you that she needs you to bring her some Yarn and in exchange she'll make you a bigger bag. Otherwise, what I fed Martha a lot of is eggs. Now, you must become friends with her (at least two hearts, just like with Alex)! Reference my Friendship guide if you want other ideas than just feeding gifts to her. Eggs from your chickens too.Īfter you become friends with Alex one day when you stop by the Clinic Martha will introduce herself to you. Also Coral from the beach is a great way to raise his friendship level with you. Or if you're lazy, Alex likes herbs so if you happen to come by any of them in the forest areas be sure to give them to him. If you'd like to learn more about raising your relationship points with villagers check out my Friendship guide. First you need Martha to move into town which happens by becoming friends with Alex.

The second upgrade is a bit harder to get. Upgrading your Rucksack in Harvest Moon is a really big deal if you didn't already know! The very first upgrade is easy to get, you get it from the Junk store right in town! You'll have to cough up 1,000G for the upgrade which is really cheap compared to what you're getting.
