So, to begin I am sorry if a topic has been made like this elsewhere but I really wanted to find out what everyone thinks is going to happen with this game. So far all I know is that Natsume have slated this game for a Q4 2012 release. I really hope that Rising Star Games picks up this one really quickly because it looks like the best Harvest Moon in a while and is one of the reasons I bought a 3DS. I have been recently disappointed with a Tale of Two Towns as it didn't really bring much that's new and it takes years (in game) to get anything good. :,(

So I am really looking forward to this game. What is everyone looking forward to most in this game and when do you think we may get a release (realistically and unrealistically, I just want to know). I am most looking forward to customising the main character and Neil :love:

, the bachelors and bachelorettes look really good in this one. :kiss:

The customisation is what I look forward to most. I have heard the requirements to build stuff can be ridiculous though.

As for release date I would guess next year. I really don't think it will be early next year but you never know.

Well at least I have some games in the meantime to tide me over until then at least, though the sooner they can release it the better as it apparently received a great reception in japan. A feature I found out about which sounds really funny is that if you don't take care of your dog/cat they begin to get fat. :doggy:

I have seen a couple complain about that already. They think the fatter animals are cuter but don't want to neglect them.

Heard there are 93 clothes in total and that there are no gender restrictions (not sure if that will stay though). I suspect good few will be recolours and not completely different outfits.

You are most certainly right

, here is a video of the outfits,

Are there any pictures of non chubby/chubby pets, I can't seem to find any. I remember in the trailer for the game they made the main character look like hatsune miku :yesh:

I found it not long after posting. I saw someone who posted pictures as well but it had wedding outfits and some consider that a spoiler.

Can see chubby pets on Japanese official website.

I like plushies but it would be far better if we got the HarvestMoon artbook instead. Althoguh I doubt we will get either.

Seems like a release date for the NA version of HM:ANB has finally been revealed, and it is Nov 6th. :drop:

Will definitely be looking at gameplay videos once it is released. :yesh:

I really wish that Rising Star could release it for us by Christmas but I know that is asking a bit much. :,(

I think the children look really cute in this game and I like the idea of the fish cage/net. I also prefer the pets thin rather than chubby, the one in the photo looks like a giant hamster when fat. :razz:
