In the latest Switch titles, say Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town (2019) or Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town (2021), we adopted the system of cherishing your animals forever without them ever passing away, which is becoming the norm for Story of Seasons. Hoshina: We thought a lot about how to express life for animals during development. Interviewer: Please tell us about how the animals no longer pass away in the remake. Of course, for various reasons some phrases have been changed, but we developed it with the policy that we reserve each line the character’s had in the original as much as possible to stay true to the characters. Most of what’s been changed are basic adjustments like how kanji is used and unifying syntax. Hoshina: The original lines haven’t really changed much overall. Interviewer: Compared to the original, how much did you alter the character’s lines? We probably started to actually work on development around Autumn the same year. Nakano: We started talking about plans for a remake in Spring 2020. Interviewer: How long were you working on the remake for? Hoshina: A new concept in the remake is “Live life together with your family.” While trying to preserve the joy of simulating another’s life from the original, we added elements where you can feel normal, everyday family life. Interviewer: Were there any new concepts you put in when remaking it? Nakano: This has always been a very well known piece overseas, so the fact that the overseas staff were on board was another big reason. Interviewer: Besides the player’s kind comments, was there anything else that pushed you to remake it? I also really liked how deep this entry was so I was always looking for a good chance to remake it. Those comments definitely helped push us. Although this was before we started using social media, a lot of players had kindly told us that this is a very memorable title to them. We decide games when everything falls into place, like timing, the team, staff issues and so on. Nakano: There’s no one particular reason why this game was remade. Interviewer: Why did you decide to remake Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life (2003, Gamecube), which is so different from the rest? You can clearly see the progression of time which is what makes it appealing. As chapters progress, of course the village changes but so does the main character’s appearance, way of thinking, relationships and so on. Out of the Story of Seasons series, this title stands out for illustrating a few decades within six chapters. Hoshina: The appeal is that you get to simulate and experience another life. Interviewer: To start, first please tell us about what makes this game appealing. Thanks to the collaboration of and we can share the information with English speaking fans!
