Ah, I was unaware. What's the story behind it? |
The games used to be published in the west by Natsume. They hold the rights to the Harvest Moon name. In Japan they still have the same name.
In 2013 Marvelous decided to publish the games themselves in NA through XSEED and had to change the name because of the licensing. Natsume is now making it's own Harvest Moon games that are basically always inferior to the Marvelous developed games.
There's a shocking amount of people I've seen in the Amazon reviews that have zero clue of this and continue buying Harvest Moon games and hate them and think the whole franchise went to shit (Harvest Moon One World for example) while the actual Bokujo-Monogatari franchise is just releasing under a different name in the west. Thankfully the Story of Seasons games are the ones that actually sell a lot.
