Nintendo just shared a detailed look at Harvestella, the upcoming farming sim / RPG from Square Enix, in its latest Treehouse Live presentation, and after watching the video, the game is now one of my most anticipated titles of the year.
The farming looks like many other farming sims you might have played - and I think that's a good thing. You'll have a plot of land where you'll work with your crops, and you can plant and water things on a tile-based grid. The actual mechanics appear to be fairly streamlined, so hopefully they don't get tedious; I was particularly happy to see that the water wand" was generous with where it tossed water. Some crops have clever names, too, meaning you'll be growing things like carrops" and cucumbles"...
