Hi guys, I tossed and turned about which JRPG to start but decided to go with this one. I saw a lot of people commenting that the game is pretty light on the farming aspects and it is more JRPG than say, Stardew Valley.

I was expecting very minimal farming going into the game but find myself doing more farming than clearing dungeons, which I thorougly enjoy! I've done two upgrades to the farm so far but is there more to come or is this pretty much it?

I am also hoarding most of my produce in case I need it for cooking. So far, if I need money in a bind, I try and do deliveries or complete quests. Are there any other tips for earning money?

Hi, first time playing the game. My character is a male, the male character for me is not good or bad, but the clothes is, feels like my male character is on heels with stockings. Is there a way later in the game that can you change clothes? Can't even play the game because of cringe. I would refund if you cant change clothes.

Edit: wow. I've never thought the community was toxic(assuming I hate, fear prettyboys 😂 and calling me snowflake). I never said that I don't like pretty male characters, when I was a teenager I wanted to look like one. My issue was the clothes not the face, hair and body.

It's my choice, because I don't wear feminine clothes. Look I don't have against male looking like a girl. And I'm not against female characters, I've played many female protagonists like tomb raider, control, Resident Evil as Jill, Horizon ZD/FW, The Plague, The walking dead as clementine and many more. But if there's a choice in character I prefer male since I want to feel like I'm in the game, and the game I'm playing right now is not how I dress.

But still I love playing this rune factory alike. So as suggested by others change to female character.

I wanted to know now that people have completed the game, is it possible to make any changes to the main character’s appearance after the initial character creation?

Like if a patch was ever added that allowed for hair/skin/eye color revisions in later chapters. Not additional options but even just the ability to revise from the original choices.

Just completed chapter 3 and I am finding myself wanting to change my hair color, an internet search says there was no way to make changes after the very first chance to, but I wanted to verify incase an update changed this.

I don't play this game but my ma does and she's stuck, she just unlocked the water biome farm and in her game it's winter, she can't grow any crops with or without the till, the crops say she can plant and grow them during winter but she can't do anything and everytime we Google anything about it being frozen or not working we just get how to unlock it, is the farm unavailable for use in winter or is something going wrong and she needs to unlock something more?

Bonjour à tous, Je suis en post-game, et dans le noyau de la genèse je me retrouve encore et toujours avec une porte fermée. Est-ce que vous auriez des tips pour débloquer cela ? Je vous remercie ! N

Don't get me wrong, I love the game (I want to say I played through it earlier this year, maybe Jan ? Feb). My ex bullied me out of video games, comics, anime, etc. and it took me a while to get back into gaming. Currently I'm remarried 5 years and I'm just starting to get comfortable being open w/ gaming around her (she's been great and it's also a common interest with her (adult) son and I). I had my usual games, Dragon Quest, Stardew Valley, etc. but I had a hard time finding something new. Zelda BotW got me started back into JRPGs but it was Harvestella that solidified that interest especially in the modern style JRPGs and not cozy (like Rune Factory or My Time).

The music and visuals are amazing. The story keeps you guessing and even second guessing. This is by far the game I would love to play for the first time again the most. Seeing the sights, hearing the music, and working your way through the story.

I'm concerned that if I play it again it just won't have the same level of amazement. But, listening to the soundtrack lately I've been feeling the Cains call me back. I'm currently in RF5's post-game and looking for something to tide me over until Sea of Stars is released.

Okay so I read that the game was actually good so I decided to gave it a try and I actually liked the first hours of the game, the combat was simple but enjoyable, my main gripe was that there wasn't a dash, but I saw that there are jobs that have dashes, which is fine.

I got into the fight with the Hydolanzer tho, and I was using a mage and the fight was SUCH A PAIN, it feels as if the game is decided to, instead of moving and dodging skills, you gotta take damage to the face, which kinda pisses me off. Like it literally feels as if the game is designed for you to actually tank most of the damage, instead of avoiding it. You can't even kite enemies or anything, since they have the same speed that you do. I thought since this was an A-RPG, it would kinda have good combat mechanics, but it feels clunky, especially the mage (as of now).

Does this get any better later on?

This must be a Japanese culture thing, because at the she said 'how did that get in there', there was a sparkle on the ground, she didn't say what it was, and then looked up at the tree. I have no clue what's going on!

I’ve been looking for awnsers and can’t find any, i’m missing 3 items. (Marked the post as spoiler due to some item names being post Ch 3)

Item 1: between Fur and Natural Pick Items 2 and 3: between Really Hard Skin and Polluted Earth.

I would be very grateful if someone knows what these items are and where you obtain them.

I'm wondering if SE / Go Shiima ever made the full musical (orchestral) scores available? I've been feeling a bit of a musical itch lately and in the mood for some transposing into different types of performances. I'm thinking some of the songs could be transposed for a jazz band while others could be used for various quartets?

(Also, I'm quit curious about some of the music and love looking at sheet music to break it down).

I see an older thread where someone transposed the main theme song for harp and made the sheet music available, and this is a start:

https://www.reddit.com/r/HARVESTELLA/comments/112mpsz/can_someone_find_piano_sheet_music_for_the/

(Could also be played on a piano with no issues)

But, I would like to see if I could get the full score?

Edit: I also have to admit, most of the music sounds very Baroque (which is one of my preferred genres) - well, technically, Baroque influenced or infused post-modern.

Edit: transposing, not transcribing.

Edit2: I should also be noted, I don't always give the main theme / leads to brass. Sorry brass players, but us woodwind players should be in the spotlight at times, too (especially in a jazz or marching band). :)

Edit3: I would like to apologize for not including Junnosuke Usui who is also credited for being one of the composers. (As well as Sachiko Miyano as being the orchestrator and all the players who delivered the music to us). You all did an incredible job creating and delivering one of the best soundtracks I've heard.

Hello, Eins and other people

As I mentioned in another post, there was a need to clarify our spoiler rule. Please note that mods can't edit content, we can only remove, so if you don't edit your post/comment it will be removed.

First of all, posts with spoilers should NOT have spoilers with title and should be marked as spoilers. Post titles are never hidden.

For comments, just use the spoiler tags >!like this!<. To do it on mobile just put your text between 'greater than' 'exclamation mark' text 'exclamation mark ' 'less than': >!text!<

For new players: HARVESTELLA is VERY story heavy, and experiencing the plot twists makes the experience much better. This is why you should specify where you are in the story and how ok you are with spoilers. Most comments here don't really spoil a lot, but it's better to be sure.

For old players:

• Anything past Chapter 3 should be spoiler-ed unless specified by the OP as ok. If the post author says they are in Chapter 5, you can write about Chapter 4 without spoiler-ing as long as the post author allows it.
• Anything spoiler-ed should be prefaced by what they spoil. Ex.: 'Spoiler for Ch. 1: >!You meet Cres, the village doctor!<'
• Game mechanics are okay as long as they do not spoil the story.
• In doubt, better safe than sorry.

Thank you!

​

does anyone have an available save file they can share with me for harvestella chapter 6? or even 5, 4, or 3?

I discovered the well and went to 15F. Is it worth going all the way down for any story pieces? And is it pretty major? Or minor?

I find it tedious and idk how many floors it's going to be. Feels like Tartarus in Persona 3 which I didn't really like.

Please keep spoilers to minimum!

Hey guys, back with another stuck on boss post because apparently I suck at the game. I just beat the >!Cruel Automata!< and the >!biblically accurate angel!< but was almost immediately thrown into another boss, this time >!in outer space, with an Omen whose name I forgot (sorry).!< I was killed pretty much immediately. I've gone back 5 times and lost all five times.

I'm level 54, usually run a mix of Assault Servant, Woglinde, and Lunamancer. My usual party members are Asyl and Istina. Should I change my setup, level up, or both? I find I'm struggling to level up because I keep dying at inconvenient times and then Cres takes all my money so I can't farm to get more money to make any healing items.

Hi, I finished the main story and got rid of Quietus. Now that everything seems to have opened up, what is the best way to level up the jobs to full (aka unlock all panels)?

Some tips and map recommendations would be helpful. Also, party members. If this one’s asked before and there are existing materials to check please point me to the right direction. Thanks.

I'm on Ch 3C (Argene) and I primarily play as a mage with 2 phys attackers so they can aggro. Usually it's Heine and Asyl for the passive physical attack increase.

But I wonder if anybody else is better? I'm thinking of Istina for crit but still working on her storyline.

Open to suggestions for later party members too!

!The amount of times I say WTF while playing this game is hilarious. I bought it on a whim late last year and have been very casually playing it on and off (like the another player, I only recently found the well!), but have progressed into the epilogue.

!What prompted me to actually post was Scott’s side quest. I played it in one hit last night just had to say out loud WHAT THE F&%$ at the end and explain to my partner what the hell had just happened (he has patiently put up with many of “what the hell just happened?!” moments throughout playing this game!) and just… wow, what a gut punch.

!What’s been your most WTF moment in this lovely game? Unicorn’s story, the concept of the Castle of Illusion, GOING INTO FREAKIN’ SPACE, have been my favourites so far.

Also, who else takes a crazy amount of screenshots?

For some reason lately the Gun “avenger” weapon is not working for me. It won’t shoot the normal attack anymore. Anyone come across this bug?? How do I fix it :(

I'm currently at the >!Castle of Illusion!< and I'm level 47. I've been trying to grind. I've fought >!Geist's first fight!< but keep getting killed >!in his second phase.!< What level should I aim to reach before I try to challenge the final boss?

I tend to 100% games that I really enjoy and had every intention on doing that with this game. I got the encyclopedia to like 70%, the rest would take me 2 or 3 days to complete if I sat down and went through it.

I decided to put the game down however once I imagined what the grind might be like to max everyone's weapons. Going back and forth to figure out which materials I need and where to get them and hope they drop kind of seemed like a pain in the ass.

just curious what your experiences were with this part of completing the game.

New to the game and never used a job that involves switching modes. So does >!Aria!< switch modes automatically when we're facing a monster that has a weakness she can target?

Or if there's a skill that the member has for their job, will they use it?

I have unlocked the Stellar Nursery, I’ve reached the boss fight area, I haven’t entered it because I wanted to make sure I am correctly levelled to face the boss.

Question 1: What level is the Gaia defense system? I’ve checked on a few sites and found nothing on its level.

Question 2: What level is the seaslight gaia boss? (the final boss) Same story here as the first question, I can’t find the awnser on any sites.

Question 3: What allies would you recommend for these boss battles? I’ve been using Aria and Istina whenever possible and Asyl and Istina when Aria is unavailable.

Please forgive any grammar or spelling mistakes, i’m bad at writing posts.

Hey, everyone!

A few days ago we had a minor problem with someone that felt spoiled. I discussed with a few other players and there was no way to avoid that one - it was a minor gameplay spoiler that suggested that Conellu Dolls existed.

Anyway, that made me realize that maybe we should be clearer about what it's a spoiler and what it is not. Anyone that posts or comments spoilers will receive a reminder to tag it apropriately, and if not done in reasonable time, we will remove.

So, please comment what you absolutely think it should be hidden with the spoiler tags, and what you think it's not such a big deal. For example, up to Chapter 3 game mechanics and a bit of lore should be okay, in my opinion. Anything from Chapter 4 onwards should be spoilered.

Also, please note that when you add the spoiler tag to a post, the title still appears. Because of this, it is absolutely forbidden to use titles that have spoilers. Since users are unable to edit titles, those posts will be removed (you can repost if you pick another title).

I hope everyone can help me - anyone that finished the game without spoilers know how great it is to see every puzzle piece coming together, so we should make sure new players also get that experience.

Thank you for your help!

I cannot for the life of me get HQ meat to drop. I got a few when I played through the game randomly but now that I actually need some for recipes they aren't dropping. I'm currently at 60 normal quality meat and 0 HQ. I've been following the wiki and killing noin, zouy, and psyche in their respective regions but nothing. Is this just bad luck or am I killing the wrong things?

Why does this game feels so good? I really enjoy my Switch version and cannot put it down.

I think if they get more budget for a second installment it will be a masterpiece. Maybe no loading screen between sub-areas is my only gripe, but I love riding around the minimap so I hope they keep that.

What do you like about the game the most? My personal favourite are the beautifull character drawings and music.

I am almost level 50 and can’t figure out what i am missing to get level 2 bomb 🧐

There was a post a while ago where someone said they were really enjoying the game. They were just a few hours in, having fun, including with what they perceived to be a fairly straight forward story. I had a notification that someone replied to my comment (something about getting back to us when they had gotten further into the story, and I had some vague advice about Conellu Dolls) but when I clicked on it I got a missing page error. I was a bit confused as to why, but assumed the post was deleted.

But I just got another notification of a second reply to my comment. Yet I still get the missing page error. Any ideas? Thanks!
