Though many of the characters are taken from Harvest Moon 64, they have somewhat different personalities, families, and occupations, which led to minor controversy among fans as these alterations were carried over to Harvest Moon: DS and ultimately became the final canon of said characters. Unlike any other game that takes place in Mineral Town, it applies more 3D graphics and many features that can't be found in the Game Boy versions. Back to Nature and Bokujō Monogatari: Harvest Moon for Girl were both later ported to the PlayStation Portable as Harvest Moon: Boy and Girl in Japan and North America. Plot[]As typical of many of the Harvest Moon titles, you come to inherit a farm after your grandfather's passing. However, in this game, it has been decided by the residents of Mineral Town that you can only inherit the farm if you restore it to its former glory and fit in with the townsfolk within three years. At the end of the three year time period, Mayor Thomas will come and view your progress, similar to how the player's father evaluated Pete at the end of the third year in Harvest Moon 64. If the farm's condition is acceptable at the end of the third year, the player will be able to keep playing. Gameplay[]Neglected Farm The Mayor of Mineral Town asks you to enter a name, a date of birth of the player's choice, and to name your dog and your farm. On your farm, you're allotted a sizable amount of land for planting crops, flowers, and/or grass. In addition, you have a coop for the chickens, a barn for cows and sheep, a horse stable, a fish pond and an apple tree in addition to your tiny farmhouse. It is your goal to work the land and care for livestock, just as in any other Harvest Moon games. At first, you are given a hoe, a sickle, a hammer, and an axe in order to clear up and work the debris-cluttered land. Later on, you can upgrade your tools and obtain more in order to do tasks more efficiently. Aside from farming, you are also expected to interact with the townsfolk and have a family. Talk to villagers, give them gifts they like (especially on their birthdays), and learn more about them with the myriad of events you can come across during the course of the game. There are several events that need to be witnessed with bachelorettes in order to marry them as well. Marriage[]Besides restoring your farm to its former glory, you should get married sometime during the game as well. Out of the five young ladies in town, you can eventually find one you want to marry. In order to get married, you have to expand your home twice, raise her heart level to red, and purchase a Blue Feather (either from Jeff's shop or from Won at a ridiculous price). Then you can propose, and if you're lucky, you'll be married after a week. Bachelorettes In order to woo a girl, you must give her gifts that she likes. Her heart level, represented by the heart underneath the portrait you see of her while she's speaking, ranges from Black (acquaintances) to Red (love). As you get to know the girls more, you will get to see several events in which you have to answer questions she might ask you. Answer them correctly, and she'll come to like you even more. Also, give her gifts she likes. Each girl has different tastes, but jewelry, though expensive, makes a great gift as well.
Children[]After about a season of marriage, the player's wife will mention that she is not feeling well. Take her to clinic. Once there, the protagonist will find out that she is pregnant. After another two seasons, their son will be born. However, the son will stop growing when it starts to walk. Rivals[]Wooing a girl is not exactly easy. Every girl has another guy who's interested in them as well. If you don't marry any one of the girls, one of these guys will marry her instead.
