Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town


Story

The game story line is based on Harvest Moon: Back to Nature. The same characters from BtN will appear in the new FoMT game, along with some new characters that will make their way into the game via the Gamecube Link Cable and aWL.

In FoMT you can court each of the 5 girls that are available to marry. You'll find Ann, Mary, Karen, Popuri, and Elli along with your "rivals" Kai, Cliff, Doctor, Rick, and Gray. There is also a bonus girl in Mineral Town for you to marry. If you meet specific requirements you can propose to the Harvest Goddess and request her to be your wife. You can also attend yearly events like the Chicken Sumo festival and Cooking Festival, but there is a new Summer festival which judges your dog's abilities to catch a frisbee disc. Along with the new frisbee game there are mini games you can play with the Harvest Sprites and a ton of new interactive villager events. But Barley's dog, Hanna, cannot get puppies in FoMT.
