Story of Seasons

Little notes

I don’t necessarily know of every crossover ever, which means it’s possible for pages to be not complete in information.

Check the series guide and link guide if you’re wondering about the terminology.

A farm life of tending to crops and animals. The player character typically meets other villagers in their town, even marrying and having children. Known in Japan as Bokujō Monogatari. Originally known in English as Harvest Moon until 2015, due to ownership of the Harvest Moon name belonging to Natsume, who published the video games in North America before being switched out for XSEED Games, a subsidiary of Marvelous Inc.

The initial work, Harvest Moon, was developed by Amccus and published by Pack-In-Video. On October 1, 1996, Pack-In-Video merged into Victor Entertainment to become Victor Interactive Software.1 Victor Interactive Software would be acquired by Marvelous Entertainment and then absorbed in June 2007.2
