CSM writes: "Harvest Moon: Animal Parade is the latest in the longstanding franchise of farm simulation games set in a magical land. Here, players begin with either a boy or girl farmer with a small farm plot by the seaside near Harmonica Town. With the help of Finn, your harvest sprite - a helper fairy - you'll gradually build up your ranch with crops and animals, sell your wares and develop relationships with the townspeople. The community is also in need of your help in assisting the Harvest Godess, a diety who ensures healthy crops. This is acheived through tasks that lead to ringing five elemental bells."
J Station X: Harvest Moon finally adds same-sex relationships with a mod called 'Pride Parade' that makes the series a bit more inclusive to LGBTQ players.
Hardcore Gamer: Natsume, best known as the developers of the Harvest Moon series, have a special fondness for plush animals. Whenever a new game comes out, they always make sure to pair it with one of their adorable plushes as a pre-order bonus.
There are no actual parades. Sorry to disappoint. Go watch the Putt-Putt video, there’s a parade in that one.
