12. STORY OF SEASONS: A Wonderful Life

Originally a GameCube title. This was a fan favorite, as one of the most laidback of the series—back when it was still called Harvest Moon. There are some changes to the familiar names: like Forget Me Not becoming the Forgotten Valley. Otherwise, it’s the same story, with new ways to customize your character, and a new camera mode!

13. The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie
