STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar

Grand Bazaar was a game sorely in need of update and polish, and Marvelous has vastly improved on the original 2009 DS game with this remake to the point where I'd highly recommend that everyone just pick up this version instead. There's a fine line between sanding off a game's edges and completely removing its challenge, and I'd argue that Grand Bazaar still has some tooth to it (though less than previous entries for sure). If you were disappointed in Pioneers of Olive Town, GB is probably what you were really looking for. It's a shame that Marvelous' wholly new games in the SoS series haven't really hit since Trio of Towns (which gets referenced in this, making me happy as a long-time player and lover of the 3DS entries) but between this and the Wonderful Life remake, they've proven they can successfully mine older games for content without feeling like wastes of time and money. I'm hoping they either bring back Tale of Two Towns or Tree of Tranquility/Animal Parade next, because all three are sadly forgotten gems of this series. (Dare I ask for a Magical Melody re-release?)

Very good

This game is so amazing, all the extra added little details in the story line and basic playing of the game make it so fun. There is a lot to complete and it does take quite a lot of gaming hours, but it's worth it in my opinion. I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys these sort of games. Its quite challenging too.

I adore this game! It is the most engaging Story of Seasons game for me, period. The gradual progression works to keep me engaged. I was able to complete the main story line in just over a year in-game, though. Wishing it took a little longer!

good addicted game, nostalgic feeling

As close to an old school harvest moon as its been of recent years (no tree of tranquility but there will never be a masterpiece like that but its the best runner up no mistake)
