The other Harvest Moon game I've played for an extended period of time has been Harvest Moon DS. The plotline this time is a little different than just taking over a run-down farm; this time, you're inheriting your dad's farm probably not too long after he's died, so it's not really in horrible shape or anything.
The main goal of this game that I've never been able to completely accomplish has been rescuing all 101 harvest sprites from the other world that the Witch Princess sent them to... Okay, let me back up. The Witch Princess and the Harvest Goddess have this rivalry. The Witch Princess finally got fed up and cast a spell to try and mute the Harvest Goddess, but she cast the wrong spell and ended up petrifying (turning to stone) the Harvest Goddess.
Admitting her mistake, the Witch Princess attempts to undo her spell, but she does it wrong again, and the Harvest Goddess statue vanishes. Horrified, the harvest sprites demand she be returned. The Witch Princess decides that the only way to get the Harvest Goddess back is for someone to follow the Harvest Goddess into the other world and use magic to send her back. Since she cannot go to the other world herself (because she said so! that's why! and don't question again! ;P), she casts a spell to send all 101 harvest sprites into the other world to use their own magic for the Harvest Goddess.
This time the spell works the way it's supposed to, and the harvest sprites vanish. The Witch Princess finds out our main character was spying on her this whole time, but she seems delighted rather than angry. Apparently she's decided that only we can rescue the sprites and Goddess by doing things around the Valley and getting a girlfriend and whatnot. If we don't, "the game won't move ahead!" How she knows she's in a game and that we're the main character is beyond me, but she pushes the main character into finding the first few sprites before leaving him to his own devices.
And then the game begins. Wow, long post describing the beginning of the game. I'll continue tomorrow. n_n
