Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town is primarily a simulation game in the tradition of the Harvest Moon series. It was released around the same time as the Gamecube game, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life. Not only did they link up to gain bonus characters & items through a GameCube Link Cable, but both 'stories' took place in the same world. The setting of this game, Mineral Town, is just beyond a steep mountain pass of AWL's hometown of Forget-Me-Not Valley.
The game also provided an alternative to Harvest Moon purists who felt that AWL's changes were too drastic. Friends of Mineral Town follows the formula set up by the SNES game and expands on it. More animals, bigger town, and of course, more friends.
Animals[edit | edit source]
The Animals of the game are: Cows, Sheep, Chickens and a horse. The player begins the game with a dog.
Cows:

- Gives milk for shipment and cheese making
- 1-4 hearts = Small Milk
- 5-7 hearts = Medium Milk
- 8-10 hearts = Large Milk
- 8-10 hearts w. Crown = Gold Milk
- 8-10 hearts w. Crown and had 600 hrs. of grazing = P Milk (Platinum Milk)
Note: A rare variety of milk called X Milkappears on very rare occasions from a cow that usually gives P Milk, however it's very rare and nearly never happens. Don't count on it.
Also, A crown refers to an animal that has won the festival designated for that animal (Sheep winning the Sheep festival, and so on).

- Very low maintenance. Brush it and take it in when it rains. That will increase it's heart level.

- Alternatively, it enjoys sleeping with other animals such as chickens or cattle.

Version 4.0
Falling in love is one of the most memorable moments in any Harvest Moon game. Unfortunately for some, it always seemed like you had to choose between who you want to be and who you want to love. I think some of you out there have been waiting for a game like this for a very long time now.
Friends of Mineral Town is arguably one of the best in the Harvest Moon series. The True Love Edition is a ROM Hack that swaps Claire (girl) and Pete (boy) into each other's respective games. Now Claire has a chance to woo the lovely ladies of Mineral Town, and Pete can choose among the town's strapping young bachelors!
This project is important to me on a very personal level. I love the Harvest Moon series, but struggled for the opportunity to play the game the way I wanted. I felt that if I really wanted a game where I can be myself, where I am allowed to make the choices I wanted to make, I would have to take it upon myself to make that happen. Falling in love is my favorite part of any Harvest Moon game, and for the first time, everything feels right.
I hope you enjoy falling in love again.
