Due to making their own 'Harvest Moon' and keeping the rights to the Harvest Moon name when Marvelous decided to have their own American division, Xseed Games, take over North American distribution, the latest title in the series had to change its name to Story of Seasons while Natsume took the opportunity to start games starting with Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. This has caused some degree of confusion.References.

Raise a farm from scratch with a variety of crops, flowers, and animals to raise! Unlike a typical Harvest Moon, however, not only will the focus be raising crops on the land, but players will also be able to sculpt the terrain on their farm to help with exploring, irrigation, and more in a Minecraft-esque environment. Rather than having a town to explore, players spend life on the farm while merchants and other villagers visit the farm to provide the necessities for farming as well as foster social relationships. A mystical Harvest Goddess also lives in a spring that oversees the farm, and forging bonds with her and the Harvest Sprites will help the land prosper!
