I just unlocked the postgame and tried the romance route, hoping that having kids was an option like it is in most other games of this genre.

I didn’t want to look it up at first, because I didn’t want to accidentally spoil anything for myself, but I decided to check online today and found out that having kids isn’t possible ingame, which was a little disappointing for me as I really like that aspect of life sim games.

I know the devs of the game kinda added in “romance” as an afterthought of sorts, but I wish they would flesh it out more, including the addition of kids — if not biological, at least the possibility of adopting from the orphanage.

I mean… the opportunity is RIGHT THERE. It makes sense.

(Other than the lack of romantic romance and family building though, I love this game so much and I truly believe it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played!)

[SOLVED] A bit of context, (go to next paragraph if you're not interested). I dropped the game a while back since I got invested playing other games. Recently I picked it again and was thinking of finishing it. The thing is midway, I stopped updating the weapons bc I didn't have any issue beating the bosses etc. Currently at chap. 9 my weapon are all level 3-8 ^^;.... I was thinking of farming materials to defeat enemies faster and I'm a bit tired tanking everything.

Anyways I need a mat (red stone thingy) that should be farmable in phantasmagoria and research facility dungeon. I started Harvestella in 2022 (launch) and dropped it untill two days ago. I have zero memory how to go to those 2 area. 😅 (i watched some playthrough on yt but everyone skip how to get to the area...).

Looking for the translation of Go Shiina's Phantasmagoria latin lyrics.

Anyone fluent in latin that knows?

So I’ve recently gotten Harvestella and been having a great time. It’s really been the kind of cozy game I really like, one where there is actually some kind of stakes but it’s not too much pressure (I felt a little bit too overwhelmed playing Atelier Ryza but maybe I’ll try again after this). However Something I’ve been noticing a lot, especially having beaten the boss of ch3a is this game really has Final Fantasy XIV vibes, especially the slow parts of that game. So much of the way story beats happen is similar to XIV and I’m pretty sure it’s in the same engine because I see the same animations (eg mage cast) and like the way the music shifts between scenes and time of day. But then when that boss encounter started in 3a, it was basically straight out of XIV and I was so hooked. Anyway this is my way of saying this game has now made it into the ranks of my top games

I crafted a level 1 smoker and put some meat in there and it's legitimately been 2 in game weeks or more and nothing is happening. The little puff of smoke is coming out of the smoker to indicate that something is in there but i haven't been able to collect the meat. The wiki says it's only supposed to take 5 days??? How long does this actually take?

I'm considering choosing Asyl for my first playthrough. Who did you choose, and why?

Hi there, I'm pretty early into Harvestella and I've heard that a lot of people are struggling later in the game. So I wanted to ask what level you all think you should be in each chapter? Also tips for leveling up? I'm planning to just hit the farm hard and get as much money as I can to gear up myself and the farm first. I'm on Chapter 3 atm.

Finished Harvestella for the first time yesterday - such an underrated game, I had a wonderful time with it! 💕

I only on chapter 3c autumn and I'm STRUGGLING with my grilla situation. I'll maybe make 10,000 - 12,000 max then buy max in grass crops first then wheat, then go from there. Is there any better strategy I could do to get more? I'd love to be able to expland more but I need better ways

Hi there, so I changed my controller buttons in settings to switch confirm and cancel. However upon reaching the tutorial it tells me to press X to plow, my plow is on square? I'm using the Playstation button replacement, which doesn't actually change controls at all. I turned on steam input with controller and nothing changed. I was stuck on that tutorial for a while, even tried it on keyboard and it wouldn't progress. I finally got it to do so, but it was weird.

If it matters I am also using UUU to get a UHD resolution.

The fact this game doesn't have controller options is pretty crazy. I figured someone would have found the config file for it by now though...

Update: I was able to get past the tutorial just fine, I'm not having any issues.

I think I played the intro about 5 times on my switch deck, but every time I get to the earthquake scene at the beginning, it just stalls on a blank screen (I can still hear music). I've tried re-installing the game, restarting my switch and deleting some older games off my deck, but I'm still not able to get passed that point. I cant even save since there's not a spot to save at, yet.

Has anyone had these issues for the steam deck and if so, were you able to resolve it?

I'm planning on buying it on the eshop but my mom wants to play too.

If we all could get another Harvestella game, what improvements or new additions would you like to have on the next game? For me, it would love to have more job classes and easier access to partner skills! Not to mention more and equal amount of bachelors with the bachelorettes.

Playing on Switch. Just as the title says, I tried to load my game and it crashed. Thinking the save was corrupted somehow, I started a new game, and it crashed again. Has this happened to anyone, and if so it's there a fix? I've already tried updating, but it seems Enix has abandoned the game.

Please, could you everyone explain me how to reach there?

I finally unlocked the partnership quest, and I chose Heine. Asyl was the first I considered, mainly because he was also the first guy I came across, but his storyline made me go 🤨, so he was a no-go. Then, I met Heine, and I knew right then and there he'd be my choice in the end.

His acceptance speech is so sweet. It really got me giggling and blushing like this was real. 😅

Who did you guys choose? How are they like? I know there are a lot of options, and I was even surprised that the Mayor is one of them! The devs really made sure to give everyone a choice, including those who are into older men! (There's also an aroace option, with the Unicorn) 😂

EDIT: I just want to clarify that I agree, the term "partner" is also inclusive, hence why it's used in the game. What I meant about the game wanting to be kid-friendly is that there are so many moments that allude to relationship behaviors, but they're always brushed off as something innocent. Like, that cutscene where the characters go to the bedroom together before it fades to black. The implication is strong, but young players probably won't get it 😂

I saw some screenshots without the UI a bit back on the subreddit. Is there a way to take screenshots without the UI or was it edited out?

I'd love to take screenshots of this game but the UI is always in the way :(

I randomly picked up Harvestella when it went on sale last year (around December). I'd been eyeing it for sometime because I heard it had farming, and I really like farming games.

Fast forward to a couple of months later, I finally found the time to play this game, and I got so invested! Way more invested than I expected! Sure, I already enjoyed it because of the farming elements, but I actually loved the RPG part as well. I love following the storyline and doing the sidequests, and after a month or two of playing, I finally finished the main storyline (it took me like 95 hours). I still have a couple of stuff left to do (finishing all the floors in the Karenoid cave, a couple of meals for the delivery quests, and of course, choosing a partner), so I can still play. But still, I felt so empty now! I just want to create a new file and play from the start again! 😂

This is such a great game (great story and characters), and I hope Square Enix will continue it. That ending already shows that a sequel is possible. The question is: will they do it? They're already suffering from the Foamstars flop, but I hope they will choose to create a franchise out of Harvestella. This game has so much potential!

Hi everyone, would anyone happen to have any save data you could share for Castle Lewis Investigation part of the game? Or even 3C would be ok. Please and thank you.

So I feel like I messed up. For some reason I automatically assumed their was a button I could press to undo skills selected on the job tree so I didn't really think or pay much attention to what I was getting.

It didn't effect gameplay much until I got to stronger enemies and I actually had to try a little to beat them. It was then I realized I could have been more strategic with it. I thought I could fix my error but it doesn't seem like it.

Is there someone I could pay, or a potion/food/item I can make that will make it possible to undo the skill selections for all or certain jobs?

!Emo is not the last Siren!<
!There was a "Camp Dinner Conversation" between Dianthus and Emo.!<
!Dianthus informed her about Sirens far away from Shatolla who left before the Lorelei Incident.!<
!Emo was happy about it, but insecure if they want to talk to her, given that they left the shrine early.!<

Hey Guys, where can i find the Moonfruit Sapling?

Are about a character having a bad or negative idea that makes them feel miserable to go ahead with, then being stubborn about it for ages, until the quest / quest chain ends and they say "actually you're right, I should do the opposite".

I really like the game and the side quests are nice as well, but it has been a bit tiring to have all of these characters just going down paths of sheer destruction for little to no reason.

There are definitely a lot of emotional moments, though I wonder if the actual narrative of the game reflects these stories (I haven't finished the game yet) or if it just happens to be the style of storytelling the quest designers chose.

They are effectively short stories of their own. Granted, no option to skip the absurd amount of text (on repeat playthroughs) is annoying, but they absolutely did not have to put in all that work. It's obvious the game is a budget title, but one that the devs clearly cared about making.
