I love that your moments of extreme excitement and yelling "LET'S GOOOO" involve 1) winning territory capture 2) catching a big fish and 3) getting to take a bath
It blows my mind how you can make a day-by-day walkthrough of this game so entertaining. Thank you for continuing to document your journey! Don't worry about the cutscene slip-ups: if no one else has documented it, no one else can prove you missed anything 😂 all of us know there's next to no info out there for this game. Keep going strong in Year 3, good sir! Can't wait to see the results :)
Thank so much! I did a whole deep dive into every possible cutscene in both this version, AnWL, and the SE, and I'm just attempting every one as the time lines up.
Oh man, this and 64 were the only HM games me and my sister had growing up, she was obsessed with this game. Only when we were much later in life did we learn that it's considered "too slow" (even for a Harvest Moon game). We agreed that we had a great time playing it and that's really all that matters when playing games growing up. In fairness, once you know about giving gifts and doing villager events, there is more to do than there initially seems.
I never got to play 64, but I've heard it's a gem. They addressed the "slowness" by shortening the chapter length to 1 year in AnWL and the SE, but I feel like the longevity is part of the charm of the original. All those villager events and hybrid crops really flesh out the back half of the game, and it was one of the major reasons I wanted to do the 100% lol
I was so excited to see this video pop up! You're making excellent progress so far. I was inspired by your first video to try to "complete" this game myself, although I'm playing the Another Wonderful Life version so a few things are different, the main one being I only have 6 years instead of 10 (which is both good and bad). Anyway, great video! Extra thank you for taking the extra time to show off all the heart cutscenes for the other two bachelorette!
I’ve been playing AnWL too! Honestly 6 years is plenty. I think the hardest part is the crop hybrids, but I’m not trying to do all of those. I’m currently in Year 5 and honestly am skipping through some of the days by sleeping to get to the end!
That being said. I hope the remake has more dialogue for all the people because they get really repetitive over time. Even my son says the same 3 things to me
This series is so easy to watch compared to other playthroughs of this game. I adore all of the HM and SOS games but it can be hard to stick to long playthroughs. AND THEN THIS PLAYTHROUGH HAPPENS! Wonderful job with your videos you really put in so much effort and it totally paid off :D
Thanks so much! I'm glad you feel that way cause that was definitely my intention! A lot of people will prefer the long-form content, and that's where VODs and Twitch Streams are great. I'm a lot like you though. Almost all the content I engage with is under an hour, so I try to make sure my videos are "digestible" for the lack of a better term.
i'm so excited to watch this with my siblings! we played this growing up but the youngest was never able to play it themselves. thank you for posting!!
You have the closest thing to a complete strategy guide out there, I watched the series as prep for my playthrough and I miraculously got big arna just now, day 17.
Lol thanks so much! That was one of my goals. Creating something that everyone has access to if they wanted to "complete" the game. I ended up catching another big arna around day 145, I think. I would like to see someone decompile the game and get hard date like percentages so I can know for sure that the Big Arna is rare and not that I was unlucky lol
I love this series! I haven’t been able to play this game myself, but from the gameplay it seems so charming. Your narration is very steady and soothing
This is sooo cool!! This is one of my favorite games of all time! The memories of how hype I was catching rare fish are still there ❤ congrats on the Big Arna!
I actually listened to this when I was out for grocery shopping (Im just mentioning this because your voice is REALLY relaxing and engaging at the same time). As Homestead Hero said: I'm seriously astounded by the fact that you've managed to document so much, even the rather boring days (of which the game has a lot quite frankly). Comparing this with the first video I enjoy the progress "we" 've made so far. Keep it up man, rooting for your success and more harvest moon videos in the future ofc :)
Wow this series is so nostalgic to watch. Love the series! I had no idea about the hybrid crops when I played this game on my PlayStation years ago. Subscribed!
Came for the Harvest moon story (mostly for background on the final episode). Stayed for the Animal Crossing music in the background. Subscribed because your channel is nice and I'm learning things I've never known about a game I spent hours playing.
As much as you thank viewers, thank you Jack for making these videos. It makes me love these games more and I learn lots of new things. Please keep making videos.
Thanks so much! I'll always make sure to thank viewers, twitch followers, discord members, etc. since you all are the reason I make videos! I'll for sure continue to make videos since it's one of my favorite hobbies!
YESSS I was so pumped to see this!! Nova, Bepis, and Zuko are perfect names, and Borwn killed me LMAO Great video!! I learned so much about this game that I didn’t know before. Can’t wait for the next part!
The chao garden music in the background just sold me further 😭❤️ Keep going dude! You have such good commentary and your background music + game choices so far are superior 😤
I love you doing these recap videos! Even though I lurk *most* of the livestreams, watching a recap video and looking back and what we have accomplished is so fun.
These videos are so fire. You are the best A Wonderful Life TH-camr I have found, I used to play this game all the time as a kid, super excited for the remake. Keep it up!
im loving the way you do this, I know this is one of the most fan appreciated games in the franchise but I've never played it, I feel even though I'm seeing lots of cutscenes and story events when i go to play it myself its still gonna feel fresh. I dont know how you did it but your doing a 100%playthrough without ruining the game for a new player. yeah as i keep watching ill see one of the endings but watching this just wants me to play the game
Thanks so much! It's awesome that I can make something like that! I've never thought about it, but I agree. Watching video that are "100-day" style makes me want to play the game lol
I legit only played Sonic Adventure 2 Story Missions to get stuff for the Chao Garden. I would buy a full price game of only Chao raising if I could lol
So stoked you FINALLY beat Patrick at territory capture! I recall only ever beating a twin maybe once or twice as a kid, and all I got for it was a moon ore! So not worth it!
Another fantastic video! I recently got Another Wonderful Life(because as a kid i only had AWL and wanted to play as girl) and it brought back so many memories. Sure i could get the remake(which i am of course) but its sort of nice to play the original on original hardware. Also everytime you say the harvest sprites names i laugh because as a kid I guess i just didn't get their naming convention. Its super cute.
I agree! The remake will be nice, but it won't scratch that same itch as AWL or AnWL. The harvest sprites are silly little creatures with funny names. I swear they wanted to call them Snap, Crackle, and Pop like the Rice Krispy characters but couldnt lol
I know im late to the party and just found ur channel today, but i likewise didnt know about the remake until 2 days ago and i got so excited! For once thank you algorithm for showing me this great channel :D Also this inspired me and im having a stream just playing this in 2 weeks time! keep it up ill keep watching :D
never have played this game seriously. i just liked to pet the cats in the mansion. this has inspired me to boot up my wii and pop the disc in. thanks, awesome video
Thanks so much! This playthrough right now is about 90 hours in with us just entering year 6 in the VODs. I would guess I've put in about 700-800 hours throughout all of my plathroughs then lol
Thanks so much! It has been super crazy! Just looking back on the first video, I was averaging 1 viewer per stream and only had 2 subscribers, and now I'm at almost 40 concurrent viewers and over 2,500 subscribers! Even if I don't get another subscriber or viewer, I will still be happy and blown away by the support. More than anything, I'm glad that the community is super chill, respectful, and accepting. I'm really glad I've been able to foster that type of culture as a part of my channel!
I'm so happy to have found your channel and videos. I have so many good memories of this game (though I played Another Wonderful Life), and I still have a copy of Magical Melody that I play on Gamecube. Thank you for the videos. You are entertaining to watch/listen to and seeing this game again just feels good. =)
Hey Jack, caught your stream the other day and love watching. Have you thought about upload full stream vods to youtube for the people who want some harvest moon gameplay to have on in the background?
Great question and it's something I've been thinking about doing. I'll probably create a second channel and start uploading the VOD's from twitch starting at day 121, since you've seen everything of note up to that point.
I used to play this game all the time as a kid. That said, I wasn't "good" at it. I vaguely understood that I could make hybrid crops, and definitely didn't know why my cows would stop making milk after a while lol. All that to say, it's been really awesome to watch you play the game, well, significantly more competently than me lol. Thanks for the videos, it's been a blast. As a cliff note: is it possible to do anything with the goat after it stops producing milk? I remember feeling like I got scammed when it stopped lmao
Thanks for watching! Regarding the goat, in the original version, there is nothing you can do but kill it if you want to free up space in the barn. In AnWL and the SE, they added an option to sell the goat, but that doesn't exist in the original lol
i never play AWL before and i prob gonna play ze SoS: AWL cuz it also on steam. i stumble upon your channel from recommendation, its very fun and enjoyable, plus even tho i never play ze original AWL it feel so Nostalgic lul, Keep it up and love your video
Love these videos so much! I played so much harvest moon when I was young and I'm also revisiting them and finding they are just as fun this time around! Did you ever play harvest moon DS or harvest moon cute? I had DS and it was my most played, it has the same town and characters as a wonder life, but has a lot of fun differences.
I did play HM: DS! I didn't get too into it as a kid since I just defaulted to playing FOMT on the GBA and I thought I already had the same town in AWL lol. I know the DS version has a lot more content so maybe I should give it another try!
Thanks so much! I'm still unsure of how the next part will be structured. I'm leaning towards just making this a 3 part series and finish the last couple things in on video where we blitz through the hybrid crops and recipes and get all the stuff that is time gated. Of course, that's still up in the air lol
Absolutely love this game its on sale for $5.99 on playstation I checked the other day it was 14 so happy miss playing it. Just wish can water more than one crop at a time and the days go so fast. Love your videos 💕
Thanks so much! Im glad that you can get back into it! Just remember, the version on Playstation is the special edition, so there are some different mechanics that will be avaliable to you that arent in my videos lol
The slow descent into alcoholism is killing me. I haven't made it to the end yet so I don't know if Jack kicks that habit, but I guess I'll find out lmao
the Fogu website use to be the best place to get more information about the games because it offered the different versions as well as japanese/english events. The GameFAQs webpage still exist as well, not sure if either have the information you are needing about the events though. I remember playing Another Wonderful Life as a kid and Harvest Moon series is just one of my favorite. I wish I had the time to go back and play my GameCube copy.
I’ve combed through a whole bunch of gameFAQs, websites, and TH-cam videos looking for event information. The only problem with those are that they are hard to define which ones will work in the original edition since I’ve already discovered some cutscenes that were supposedly not available in the OG. Right now, I’m just testing everything and seeing if it works lol
Are you training your dog all the way too? The commitment to reach 100% is insane. I just replayed the game as I’ve never finished it as a kid and it’s so good, but it can def get tedious when you are trying to do a lot.
I have always wanted to understand this game better. Having owned it and played it casually for many years I still haven’t done a fraction of what was shown here, there are even five or six characters I’ve never seen before! I guess I will have to head back to the farm.
Lol same here. When I was doing research for the challenge, and even when I'm streaming it, I'll come across new information on cutscenes, farming mechanics, etc. that I didn't know before. It's crazy how in-depth this game is without the developers coming right out and saying, "you can do this."
I have no idea why but the only thing I remembered about this game from my childhood was the calf hutches. Nothing else. None of the characters, or the mechanics... I just remembered the little white calf hutches viscerally of all the things.
To be fair, the calf hutch is hella cute. My first and most prevalent memory of this game is the blue feather cut scene. It's such an iconic piece of the franchise as a whole and the cut scene with the harvest sprites finding it and explaining it is burned into my long-term memory lol
One of my few creative decisions in this video lol. I don't even watch family guy, but I must have saw a joke or a youtube video that made a reference to it when I was writing the script!
Sooooo glad you picked muffy. Well glad everyone else picked them. I had the girl version so I didn’t know nami leaves If you don’t marry her. And I miss the baby sound so cute. I’m so ready for the remake to come out good god 😭😭
Lol I'm excited for the remake too! I might have to make a video like, "Twitch Chat Runs the Farm" or something like that in the remake and see what happens again!
Depending on which version you're playing, money-making can be easy or difficult since they balanced the seed prices in AnWL and SE. I'm doing a playthrough of AnWL off-screen for a video I'm working on, and the only efficient money-making method is fishing lol
@@JackDuckGoose I’m doing the SE just to try marrying Lumina and to have a daughter. It’s definitely a lot harder to make money and influence your child in that version.
i don't know how you do it but i can't imagine the amount time you spent for playing and editing, i was playing this again year ago and it took me 3 weeks to get to year 3, thank you for this content i really like it 🙏, i hope you're going to finish it ps: can't wait for you to play HM AWL remake, i will absolutely watch it
Thanks so much! I for sure am going to finish it. Eventually, we will have made all the recipes and got all the crop hybrids, and all that's left will be cutscenes, digsite tasks, and collecting items that are timegated for the later chapters, so there will be a good amount of sleeping lol I can't wait for the remake! I'll definitely be doing my own play though off stream, but will be streaming the game with a playthrough where my twitch chat makes almost all the decisions, which will be pretty fun!
I've never gotten all the events in this game but here are a few I do know about because I've personally experienced them but haven't been able to trigger them again (I also haven't played the game in over a decade) When Nina's alive she races with a turtle Daryl swears the weird yeti guy has a zipper on his back and that it's a costume. The bear you get your kid in year 3/4 is alive and walks. Scared the crud out of me as a 10yr old Daryl's house explodes many times from his failed expirments Daryl also yells at your cows for producing co2??? I only got this cutscene once and am still confused by his rambling at my cow. I got the harvest goddess scene 4 different times and while she does have dialogue it doesn't change anything about the spring itself and she doesn't move into it it's heavily implied that it's the mineral town harvest goddess tho! I don't know how I managed it but I got the ruby's spice scene where she gives you her spice and the most easily duplicatable item in the game and what I used as an exploit as a kid to get max money. Murray would often steal milk and fish from the frozen storage this only happens if you store milk and fish in there! Those are all the cutscenes I have gotten. Can't wait for next year's remake of the game.
That Nina cut scene leads me to believe that you're playing AnWL or the Special Edition since I'm fairly certain that was added in those versions. They great cause they flesh out the characters and the vibe of the valley and that's why I really wanted to see every one. I'm hoping the remake keeps them in because they're so charming, to me at least lol
@@JackDuckGoose tbt might have been my friend had that version and I had the gamecube one so I must have seen it with them because I just recall a lot of Daryl scenes in the gamecube one I hope in the remake they make him just as quirky as the yeti. They were my favorite npcs outside of weird T-posing Carter by the waterfall.
Ah thid game, I remember got Huge Yamame since it have alot of money when you sell it but I accidently press the button to eat, my young self just only have long silent as a respond.
watched all the way through! You've inspired me once again to chase my dreams! I really enjoy your content very much and I hope This next chapter treats you well! How long did it take you to play all of this/edit this video? How are you able to screen record all of this? I'm curious becuase I want to start my channel officially and could really use some insight! Keep it up dude! ☺
Thanks so much! Every in-game day takes me about 15-20 minutes so each year is about 11-12 hours. Of course, every player plays the game differently, so if you're not caught up in trying to see every cut scene, get every hybrid, etc. you could probably finish a year in 3-4 hours by sleeping a lot and doing only the necessities. Editing this video is an entire process that probably took ~24 hours. Between writing and recording the script, cutting out mistakes, going through all the footage and synchronizing it with the narration, then adding the little stylistic bits, a video like this has a lot of time dumped into it. Screen recording is pretty simple depending on how you're playing the game. If you're using an emulator, using OBS and recording the game source is pretty easy. If you're playing on the actual GC console or a Wii, you'll need a capture card that can be used as a source in OBS. Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions!
@@SmolRedPanda No worries! Since you're using genuine hardware, recording using the Elgato Game Capture HD with the composite video adapter. This video by @LevelOneGamer is a great tutorial on how to capture gamecube video games: th-cam.com/video/XCQZJ7k6nmE/w-d-xo.html
Gemsoils make it such that hybrid seeds are able to grow in any condition of soil, I believe. Given that the very fertile field is so large, I don't think there's any practical purpose to them.
I'm loving this, my only question, why is it you plant your crops in a pattern? Is it to make it easier amd faster to water/harvest, does it improve them, or do you just like it? I always just pack it out lol
Honestly, there are rumors that placing them in the checkerboard pattern makes them grow faster and won't decrease their grade. Of course, these are all just rumors from the 2004 era of internet lol. I did it because that's how Vesta did it on her farm so I'm just a copycat
It's been a long time since I played this, but I'm pretty sure if you harvest a root vegetable, like a turnip, you don't have to re-till the soil with a hoe before planting in the same spot.
There is also another grant cutscene only appear if you meet at him early morning in his house where he give you am alarm clock and as for the spring fairy cutscene sadly the game had to quite alot content it was supposed to be in the game only to be cut. the reason was either don't have alot of development time or the console hardware limitation. Well anyway this game is pretty intetesting among many harvest moon games. Edit : nvm you already got the alarm clock
I've been trying to get a lot of cutscenes that I know are in the special edition and AnWL just in case there also in the original! This game is super unique in the HM franchise and in farming simulators generally. That's why it's my favorite lol
When you finish, please make a video of all the cutscenes. ❤️ I'd like to see them all without combing through all the old streams. Especially the one with Nina and Mukamuka. I looked for it on the day 39 stream for awhile but couldn't find it.
That means so much! What I mean by that is I just wanted to make something a little more "digestible" for TH-cam as viewers taste in content length is always different. I'll probably make a VOD channel for viewers like yourself who don't mind listening to me drone for 10 hours lol
god, i still can't get over how much better the game cube graphics are for this game. i never actually played it myself, only special edition, but dang. my version looks like blurry garbage compared to this, trying to look at the grass in my field is a literal eye sore xD also i never noticed before... that's supposed to be a picture of Romana, but it looks like a picture of Sebastian???? am i seeing that wrong because its blurry? it totally looks like him. wut
That's one of the reasons I went with the GC version. The graphics still hold up even though they're almost 20 years old. I'm honestly not sure about the picture. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just dialogue and they just put a picture of sebastion there.
At around 35:00 is there a joke I'm just not getting? Lol. You've been making hybrid crops for so long. Is the joke that you forgot what sound it makes when you get a new hybrid since you combined so many seeds with Happy Lamps?
Good question! In that moment, I meant to combine a seed with a flower, but accidentally combined two seeds together. I was under the impression that Hybrid Crops could only be created when combining to crops, not seeds, so I was very surprised when I heard the song.
@@JackDuckGoose oh nice! Yeah this game is not exactly clear with… any of its mechanics. By the way, these videos have gotten me nostalgic for the AWL games, and you’ve got me playing em again. If I feel motivated enough I may even end up doing a retrospective/review. Gotta replay the original though, right now I’ve only replayed Another Wonderful Life.
@@empiar5481 I think AnWL has everything the original edition does, but with some added mechanics like purchasing the big field. Let me know if you do end up making that! I could contribute or just watch it. It sounds super interesting!
@@JackDuckGoose there’s actually quite a number of differences, from the marriage candidates being all-around worse, strange and weird tools are more like the silver and gold tools of other games, but not obtainable without the great field, Van sells more stuff so your money is actually useful, bugs and oddities are mostly fixed, and the game is actually kind enough to fucking explain itself to the player lol. Oh yeah and every chapter is only 1 year, so the full game is 6 years instead of T E N. This is both good and bad imo, but hard to explain in a youtube comment. Tbh it’s kind of a totally different game! In many ways it’s a drastic improvement although in my heart I feel something is missing in AnWL…
I love that your moments of extreme excitement and yelling "LET'S GOOOO" involve 1) winning territory capture 2) catching a big fish and 3) getting to take a bath
It is pretty funny. I do get genuinely excited with stuff in this game, but I think it's my FPS player coming out whenever I go over the edge lol

Thanks so much! The remake is slated to come out this summer so hopefully it's just as nostalgic to play lol
so excited ive been waiting for this episode
I’ve been waiting for this!!!!
So excited for further videos! This game is tied with Mineral Town for my favorite (saying a LOT).
AWL, FoMT, and now MM, are my favorites as well! They're all such good games lol
I love when people play the classics and make it FUN
Thanks! I had to think of a new way to enjoy this game since I've played it so much lol
30:50 took me the first try to catch the beats in the pond by the see with the Galen Rod.
Lol I was fishing in the swamp and the spring for a couple of ingame hours everyday until I caught that fish. I guess I was just unlucky
Came for the Harvest moon story (mostly for background on the final episode). Stayed for the Animal Crossing music in the background. Subscribed because your channel is nice and I'm learning things I've never known about a game I spent hours playing.
Thanks so much for watching! I'm always open to adding different background music to future videos if you have suggestions lol
As much as you thank viewers, thank you Jack for making these videos. It makes me love these games more and I learn lots of new things. Please keep making videos.
Thanks so much! I'll always make sure to thank viewers, twitch followers, discord members, etc. since you all are the reason I make videos! I'll for sure continue to make videos since it's one of my favorite hobbies!
another high quality vid! Your gameplay is my 9 year old's dream. Hopefully I can catch one of your streams when my schedule clears up!
Hopefully! Thanks for your kind words on the video! I really appreciate it
YESSS I was so pumped to see this!! Nova, Bepis, and Zuko are perfect names, and Borwn killed me LMAO
Great video!! I learned so much about this game that I didn’t know before. Can’t wait for the next part!
Thanks so much! If you have any questions, let me know! I'll do my best to answer them lol
Babe wake up the new JackDuckGoose Video just dropped
Yes
THIS
You’d think people would already know that before seeing your comment
This was such a fun watch! I don’t usually comment but I want you to keep making videos!
Thanks so much! I'm hoping to get a video out this week!
The chao garden music in the background just sold me further 😭❤️ Keep going dude! You have such good commentary and your background music + game choices so far are superior 😤
Also you can really tell how much time and effort you have put so far. You’re doing great dude!
Thanks so much! The chao garden is my favorite part about any sonic game and I'm irrationally upset it isn't in frontiers lol
So many memories come back not only from the game, from my childhood to.
Thanks for the great video without it i would not remember it.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you got some nostalgia/childhood serotonin boost lol
So glad I came across your videos, I love to watch them while I sit and paint :)
Thanks for watching! All my creativity went towards Adobe Premiere so I'm not much of a painter lol
I love you doing these recap videos! Even though I lurk *most* of the livestreams, watching a recap video and looking back and what we have accomplished is so fun.
Don't need a response just commenting for the algorithm. Been enjoying these chill vibes. I love farming sims but have never played this one.

These videos are so fire. You are the best A Wonderful Life TH-camr I have found, I used to play this game all the time as a kid, super excited for the remake. Keep it up!
Thanks so much! That means a lot! There will be a ton of content I'm hoping to make once the remake comes out!
im loving the way you do this, I know this is one of the most fan appreciated games in the franchise but I've never played it, I feel even though I'm seeing lots of cutscenes and story events when i go to play it myself its still gonna feel fresh. I dont know how you did it but your doing a 100%playthrough without ruining the game for a new player. yeah as i keep watching ill see one of the endings but watching this just wants me to play the game
Thanks so much! It's awesome that I can make something like that! I've never thought about it, but I agree. Watching video that are "100-day" style makes me want to play the game lol
I know I'm late to the video but I am so glad to hear Chao garden music in the background occasionally. Good to know people still think of that game.
I legit only played Sonic Adventure 2 Story Missions to get stuff for the Chao Garden. I would buy a full price game of only Chao raising if I could lol
@@JackDuckGoose I totally agree. I played Sonic for the adventure I stayed for the Choa
So stoked you FINALLY beat Patrick at territory capture! I recall only ever beating a twin maybe once or twice as a kid, and all I got for it was a moon ore! So not worth it!
He eventually upgrades to sugar ore's when you beat him 10 times lol. But yeah, it's def not worth the hassle.
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS TO DROP!! THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING CONTENT!!!!
Thank you for watching!
Another fantastic video! I recently got Another Wonderful Life(because as a kid i only had AWL and wanted to play as girl) and it brought back so many memories. Sure i could get the remake(which i am of course) but its sort of nice to play the original on original hardware.
Also everytime you say the harvest sprites names i laugh because as a kid I guess i just didn't get their naming convention. Its super cute.
I agree! The remake will be nice, but it won't scratch that same itch as AWL or AnWL. The harvest sprites are silly little creatures with funny names. I swear they wanted to call them Snap, Crackle, and Pop like the Rice Krispy characters but couldnt lol
I've been binge watching your Magical Melody videos and now these ones while being sick. They're so incredibly entertaining 😅
Thanks so much! I’m glad you like them! Hope you feel better soon 🫡
I know im late to the party and just found ur channel today, but i likewise didnt know about the remake until 2 days ago and i got so excited!
For once thank you algorithm for showing me this great channel :D
Also this inspired me and im having a stream just playing this in 2 weeks time! keep it up ill keep watching :D
Thanks for watching! I'll keep an eye out for you stream!
never have played this game seriously. i just liked to pet the cats in the mansion. this has inspired me to boot up my wii and pop the disc in. thanks, awesome video
Thanks so much! Good luck with your playthrough! It's a great way to gear up for the remake!
god i love this game. i can't even begin to guess how many hours ive sunk into it and seeing this playthrough is fantastic gg my guy love u
Thanks so much! This playthrough right now is about 90 hours in with us just entering year 6 in the VODs. I would guess I've put in about 700-800 hours throughout all of my plathroughs then lol
Sweet moves. Keep it up.
One of the best parts of this video was watching your community grow. I followed on both twitch and TH-cam.
Thanks so much! It has been super crazy! Just looking back on the first video, I was averaging 1 viewer per stream and only had 2 subscribers, and now I'm at almost 40 concurrent viewers and over 2,500 subscribers! Even if I don't get another subscriber or viewer, I will still be happy and blown away by the support. More than anything, I'm glad that the community is super chill, respectful, and accepting. I'm really glad I've been able to foster that type of culture as a part of my channel!
I'm so happy to have found your channel and videos. I have so many good memories of this game (though I played Another Wonderful Life), and I still have a copy of Magical Melody that I play on Gamecube. Thank you for the videos. You are entertaining to watch/listen to and seeing this game again just feels good. =)
Thanks so much for all your kind words!
Lovin itt so glad everyone chose muffy! Big up for the wee cow dance 🐄
Thanks so much! I'll be repping the Nami gang til I die, but I'm nothing if not a admirer of the democratic process lol
Hey Jack, caught your stream the other day and love watching. Have you thought about upload full stream vods to youtube for the people who want some harvest moon gameplay to have on in the background?
yesss I hope he does
This right here! I would watch it 100%
Great question and it's something I've been thinking about doing. I'll probably create a second channel and start uploading the VOD's from twitch starting at day 121, since you've seen everything of note up to that point.
Loving this series and your channel! Keep up the good work 😊
These videos are invaluable, THANK YOU 💛
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed!
I used to play this game all the time as a kid. That said, I wasn't "good" at it. I vaguely understood that I could make hybrid crops, and definitely didn't know why my cows would stop making milk after a while lol.
All that to say, it's been really awesome to watch you play the game, well, significantly more competently than me lol. Thanks for the videos, it's been a blast.
As a cliff note: is it possible to do anything with the goat after it stops producing milk? I remember feeling like I got scammed when it stopped lmao
Thanks for watching! Regarding the goat, in the original version, there is nothing you can do but kill it if you want to free up space in the barn. In AnWL and the SE, they added an option to sell the goat, but that doesn't exist in the original lol
i never play AWL before and i prob gonna play ze SoS: AWL cuz it also on steam. i stumble upon your channel from recommendation, its very fun and enjoyable, plus even tho i never play ze original AWL it feel so Nostalgic lul, Keep it up and love your video
Thanks so much! I’m also going to be playing the remake on steam lol
loving this series! keep up the great work!
Thanks so much! I appreciate it!
Love the videos Jack! Keep em coming! 😊
I loved playing this game as a kid. Very happy TH-cam recommended this to me
Glad you enjoyed! This game really defined my childhood lol
This was great keep em coming!!!
Thanks so much! I don't know when the next part will be out, but I'm hoping to get it done before the remake comes out in NA.
I really love this series, can't wait for another video 🔥
Same here! We're almost in to year 5 on the live streams so we're getting there!
Yay I’m glad to see another part!
Love these videos so much! I played so much harvest moon when I was young and I'm also revisiting them and finding they are just as fun this time around! Did you ever play harvest moon DS or harvest moon cute? I had DS and it was my most played, it has the same town and characters as a wonder life, but has a lot of fun differences.
I did play HM: DS! I didn't get too into it as a kid since I just defaulted to playing FOMT on the GBA and I thought I already had the same town in AWL lol. I know the DS version has a lot more content so maybe I should give it another try!
This is mine and my friends dream series, I can’t wait to see more !
Thanks so much! I'm still unsure of how the next part will be structured. I'm leaning towards just making this a 3 part series and finish the last couple things in on video where we blitz through the hybrid crops and recipes and get all the stuff that is time gated. Of course, that's still up in the air lol
Absolutely love this game its on sale for $5.99 on playstation I checked the other day it was 14 so happy miss playing it. Just wish can water more than one crop at a time and the days go so fast. Love your videos 💕
Thanks so much! Im glad that you can get back into it! Just remember, the version on Playstation is the special edition, so there are some different mechanics that will be avaliable to you that arent in my videos lol
@@JackDuckGoose thanks for that I wouldn't of even realized that
this is a lovely series thank u :)
Thank you for watching!
Keep up the good work man. Maybe later you can play the Animal Parade 🙌 if you wanna tho
Will do! AP is a fan-favorite and I've never played it so I might have to give it a go lol
The slow descent into alcoholism is killing me. I haven't made it to the end yet so I don't know if Jack kicks that habit, but I guess I'll find out lmao
Lol sometimes you just need to hit the bar to top up your spirits
the Fogu website use to be the best place to get more information about the games because it offered the different versions as well as japanese/english events. The GameFAQs webpage still exist as well, not sure if either have the information you are needing about the events though. I remember playing Another Wonderful Life as a kid and Harvest Moon series is just one of my favorite. I wish I had the time to go back and play my GameCube copy.
I’ve combed through a whole bunch of gameFAQs, websites, and TH-cam videos looking for event information. The only problem with those are that they are hard to define which ones will work in the original edition since I’ve already discovered some cutscenes that were supposedly not available in the OG. Right now, I’m just testing everything and seeing if it works lol
Your sick brother! More content please!
Are you training your dog all the way too? The commitment to reach 100% is insane. I just replayed the game as I’ve never finished it as a kid and it’s so good, but it can def get tedious when you are trying to do a lot.
You cannot train your dog at all in the original AWL. That's not until Another Wonderful Life and the Special Edition.
@empiar5481 is right. Unfortunately, that mechanic was added in AnWL and the SE. Hopefully they include it in the remake so I can do it lol
was there for the big arna and I have been waiting for the section dedicated to the spring with bated breath.
It was a pretty arduous journey lol
Big Arna Anglin' Hour 🤣🤣
eyyy I was part of naming Zuko, And I saw my chat. haha!
awesome video!!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it!
I have always wanted to understand this game better. Having owned it and played it casually for many years I still haven’t done a fraction of what was shown here, there are even five or six characters I’ve never seen before! I guess I will have to head back to the farm.
Lol same here. When I was doing research for the challenge, and even when I'm streaming it, I'll come across new information on cutscenes, farming mechanics, etc. that I didn't know before. It's crazy how in-depth this game is without the developers coming right out and saying, "you can do this."
OH YEA HERE WE GO
I have no idea why but the only thing I remembered about this game from my childhood was the calf hutches. Nothing else. None of the characters, or the mechanics... I just remembered the little white calf hutches viscerally of all the things.
To be fair, the calf hutch is hella cute. My first and most prevalent memory of this game is the blue feather cut scene. It's such an iconic piece of the franchise as a whole and the cut scene with the harvest sprites finding it and explaining it is burned into my long-term memory lol
never played the game just love your videos^^
Thanks so much! You should pick up the remake when it comes out this summer!
Loving the content
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
The cameo from Ollie Williams was brilliant. "STILL NO BIG ARNA"
One of my few creative decisions in this video lol. I don't even watch family guy, but I must have saw a joke or a youtube video that made a reference to it when I was writing the script!
Sooooo glad you picked muffy. Well glad everyone else picked them. I had the girl version so I didn’t know nami leaves If you don’t marry her. And I miss the baby sound so cute. I’m so ready for the remake to come out good god 😭😭
Lol I'm excited for the remake too! I might have to make a video like, "Twitch Chat Runs the Farm" or something like that in the remake and see what happens again!
I’m impressed with how quickly you got money! I’m replaying again too and my farm is nothing like that in Chapter 2.
Depending on which version you're playing, money-making can be easy or difficult since they balanced the seed prices in AnWL and SE. I'm doing a playthrough of AnWL off-screen for a video I'm working on, and the only efficient money-making method is fishing lol
@@JackDuckGoose I’m doing the SE just to try marrying Lumina and to have a daughter. It’s definitely a lot harder to make money and influence your child in that version.
@@mevox I'm excited to have that experience with the remake since I've only ever played the OE on gamecube lol
“you may see bananas, but all I see is money” honestly so true
It's a shame they nerfed that in AnWL and SE. It was so lucrative and required 0 effort lol
@@JackDuckGoose no wonder awl se tips to make money is by making dhibe cake
@@UchihaDareNial Damn, dhibe cake is 2,000g when haggled! That's insane lol
@@JackDuckGoose Van gotta love that Dhibe cake 🍰
Im surprised you haven't used the "controller in the 3rd slot" trick, really helps with the hybrids and recipes ;)
Part of the rules for my 100% run is no exploits lol. I would love to but I'm a dedicated rule follower
i don't know how you do it but i can't imagine the amount time you spent for playing and editing, i was playing this again year ago and it took me 3 weeks to get to year 3, thank you for this content i really like it 🙏, i hope you're going to finish it
ps: can't wait for you to play HM AWL remake, i will absolutely watch it
Thanks so much! I for sure am going to finish it. Eventually, we will have made all the recipes and got all the crop hybrids, and all that's left will be cutscenes, digsite tasks, and collecting items that are timegated for the later chapters, so there will be a good amount of sleeping lol
I can't wait for the remake! I'll definitely be doing my own play though off stream, but will be streaming the game with a playthrough where my twitch chat makes almost all the decisions, which will be pretty fun!
This makes me so happy.
"We observe Nina and Mukumuku having one last chat" 😢 Noooo
Nina's a real one, fr fr 🥲
Great video! :>
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it
I've never gotten all the events in this game but here are a few I do know about because I've personally experienced them but haven't been able to trigger them again (I also haven't played the game in over a decade)
When Nina's alive she races with a turtle
Daryl swears the weird yeti guy has a zipper on his back and that it's a costume.
The bear you get your kid in year 3/4 is alive and walks. Scared the crud out of me as a 10yr old
Daryl's house explodes many times from his failed expirments
Daryl also yells at your cows for producing co2??? I only got this cutscene once and am still confused by his rambling at my cow.
I got the harvest goddess scene 4 different times and while she does have dialogue it doesn't change anything about the spring itself and she doesn't move into it it's heavily implied that it's the mineral town harvest goddess tho!
I don't know how I managed it but I got the ruby's spice scene where she gives you her spice and the most easily duplicatable item in the game and what I used as an exploit as a kid to get max money.
Murray would often steal milk and fish from the frozen storage this only happens if you store milk and fish in there!
Those are all the cutscenes I have gotten. Can't wait for next year's remake of the game.
That Nina cut scene leads me to believe that you're playing AnWL or the Special Edition since I'm fairly certain that was added in those versions. They great cause they flesh out the characters and the vibe of the valley and that's why I really wanted to see every one. I'm hoping the remake keeps them in because they're so charming, to me at least lol
@@JackDuckGoose tbt might have been my friend had that version and I had the gamecube one so I must have seen it with them because I just recall a lot of Daryl scenes in the gamecube one I hope in the remake they make him just as quirky as the yeti. They were my favorite npcs outside of weird T-posing Carter by the waterfall.
Ah thid game, I remember got Huge Yamame since it have alot of money when you sell it but I accidently press the button to eat, my young self just only have long silent as a respond.
Lol we've all been there
thanks for a great video!
Thank you for watching!
great job!
Thanks so much!
watched all the way through! You've inspired me once again to chase my dreams! I really enjoy your content very much and I hope This next chapter treats you well! How long did it take you to play all of this/edit this video? How are you able to screen record all of this? I'm curious becuase I want to start my channel officially and could really use some insight! Keep it up dude! ☺
Thanks so much! Every in-game day takes me about 15-20 minutes so each year is about 11-12 hours. Of course, every player plays the game differently, so if you're not caught up in trying to see every cut scene, get every hybrid, etc. you could probably finish a year in 3-4 hours by sleeping a lot and doing only the necessities.
Editing this video is an entire process that probably took ~24 hours. Between writing and recording the script, cutting out mistakes, going through all the footage and synchronizing it with the narration, then adding the little stylistic bits, a video like this has a lot of time dumped into it.
Screen recording is pretty simple depending on how you're playing the game. If you're using an emulator, using OBS and recording the game source is pretty easy. If you're playing on the actual GC console or a Wii, you'll need a capture card that can be used as a source in OBS.
Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions!
@@JackDuckGoose thank you so much for the reply Jack! Im playing on the actual GameCube that’s why I asked! ❤️🙏
@@SmolRedPanda No worries! Since you're using genuine hardware, recording using the Elgato Game Capture HD with the composite video adapter. This video by @LevelOneGamer is a great tutorial on how to capture gamecube video games: th-cam.com/video/XCQZJ7k6nmE/w-d-xo.html
Gemsoils make it such that hybrid seeds are able to grow in any condition of soil, I believe. Given that the very fertile field is so large, I don't think there's any practical purpose to them.
I can see how they're super useful in AnWL and SE without the big field or if you're not too invested into trees.
I'm loving this, my only question, why is it you plant your crops in a pattern? Is it to make it easier amd faster to water/harvest, does it improve them, or do you just like it? I always just pack it out lol
Honestly, there are rumors that placing them in the checkerboard pattern makes them grow faster and won't decrease their grade. Of course, these are all just rumors from the 2004 era of internet lol. I did it because that's how Vesta did it on her farm so I'm just a copycat
@@JackDuckGoose Respectable lol
It's been a long time since I played this, but I'm pretty sure if you harvest a root vegetable, like a turnip, you don't have to re-till the soil with a hoe before planting in the same spot.
Really? I'll have to try that the next time I plant! It'll save me some time lol
One time I gave Vesta a skull fossil and she said something along the lines of "Thanks this looks tasty" and I could never get it to happen again
The prompts to gifts in this game are so funny! It seems that they think everything is edible lol
There is also another grant cutscene only appear if you meet at him early morning in his house where he give you am alarm clock and as for the spring fairy cutscene sadly the game had to quite alot content it was supposed to be in the game only to be cut. the reason was either don't have alot of development time or the console hardware limitation. Well anyway this game is pretty intetesting among many harvest moon games.
Edit : nvm you already got the alarm clock
I've been trying to get a lot of cutscenes that I know are in the special edition and AnWL just in case there also in the original! This game is super unique in the HM franchise and in farming simulators generally. That's why it's my favorite lol
was shocked you only have 2.6k subscribers
Thanks so much! One of my goals of every video I make is that it could go toe-to-toe with videos on much larger channels!
I love hearing you mention you beat Patrick. Screw him.
He will live in my head rent free forever. Whenever I can get a win, I make sure to really milk it lol
I genuinely do not know there is seed maker,because when I was still a kid,I was soo scared of the scientist that I never gave him any gift.
Lol I don't blame you! He freaked me out as well.
"I think Marvelous should let us marry MukuMuku" wait, he has a point
Who let me cook? I need to get out of the kitchen lol
When you finish, please make a video of all the cutscenes. ❤️ I'd like to see them all without combing through all the old streams. Especially the one with Nina and Mukamuka. I looked for it on the day 39 stream for awhile but couldn't find it.
I've never actually seen that one so I wouldn't be able to put it in a video if I wanted too lol
Not gonna lie, yesterday i was wondering when you will continue this saga
Lol same, it takes a lot of time to just play the game on stream and edit it together, but I'm glad I could get it done before the new year
"if i wanted this video to be under an hour" jack idk who told you that but they lied, I'd watch a 10 hour video from you if you put one up
That means so much! What I mean by that is I just wanted to make something a little more "digestible" for TH-cam as viewers taste in content length is always different. I'll probably make a VOD channel for viewers like yourself who don't mind listening to me drone for 10 hours lol
god, i still can't get over how much better the game cube graphics are for this game. i never actually played it myself, only special edition, but dang. my version looks like blurry garbage compared to this, trying to look at the grass in my field is a literal eye sore xD
also i never noticed before... that's supposed to be a picture of Romana, but it looks like a picture of Sebastian???? am i seeing that wrong because its blurry? it totally looks like him. wut
That's one of the reasons I went with the GC version. The graphics still hold up even though they're almost 20 years old.
I'm honestly not sure about the picture. I wouldn't be surprised if it's just dialogue and they just put a picture of sebastion there.
Long Live Bepis 🐐
At around 35:00 is there a joke I'm just not getting? Lol. You've been making hybrid crops for so long. Is the joke that you forgot what sound it makes when you get a new hybrid since you combined so many seeds with Happy Lamps?
Good question! In that moment, I meant to combine a seed with a flower, but accidentally combined two seeds together. I was under the impression that Hybrid Crops could only be created when combining to crops, not seeds, so I was very surprised when I heard the song.
@@JackDuckGoose oh nice! Yeah this game is not exactly clear with… any of its mechanics.
By the way, these videos have gotten me nostalgic for the AWL games, and you’ve got me playing em again. If I feel motivated enough I may even end up doing a retrospective/review. Gotta replay the original though, right now I’ve only replayed Another Wonderful Life.
@@empiar5481 I think AnWL has everything the original edition does, but with some added mechanics like purchasing the big field. Let me know if you do end up making that! I could contribute or just watch it. It sounds super interesting!
@@JackDuckGoose there’s actually quite a number of differences, from the marriage candidates being all-around worse, strange and weird tools are more like the silver and gold tools of other games, but not obtainable without the great field, Van sells more stuff so your money is actually useful, bugs and oddities are mostly fixed, and the game is actually kind enough to fucking explain itself to the player lol.
Oh yeah and every chapter is only 1 year, so the full game is 6 years instead of T E N. This is both good and bad imo, but hard to explain in a youtube comment. Tbh it’s kind of a totally different game! In many ways it’s a drastic improvement although in my heart I feel something is missing in AnWL…
I enjoyed watching this
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it
