The orthodox third game of Harvest Moon, it is also a game with mixed reviews. With the powerful functions of PS2, the game has evolved into complete 3D. The characters are also quite comfortable, the painting style is very fresh, and the picture makes people feel relaxed and soft. It's a pity that the work has turned into a mission-based game - managing the pasture has been transformed into saving the village, and the playability has dropped a lot instantly.
