Yes (edit: well kind of) https://www.rpgsite.net/review/9956-story-of-seasons-friends-of-mineral-town-review Quote The most important change for me in this remake is the fact that I can play as a woman who marries another woman. More detailed info: https://www.xseedgames.com/2020/05/01/story-of-seasons-friends-of-mineral-town-localization-blog-1/ Quote One major change between both the original version and the remake, as well as between our version and the Japanese version, concerns what has been called the “Best Friends” system in the Japanese release, where the player character can form a lifelong partnership with a character of the same sex. In our version, this will just be called “marriage,” and the relationship between same-sex couples will be given identical treatment to opposite-sex couples. Basically, it's something that's only truly manifest in the stateside release. In the Japanese version it's called "Best Friends" with all that "no homo" pretext Edited July 11, 2020 by Zora Spring and April 2 Link to comment
Spring Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 i'm honestly kinda surprised they decided to keep the 'best friends' title, but i guess i shouldn't be based on my knowledge of lgbt issues in japan regardless, i will marry my gf popuri and we will live happily with our 50 chickens and i cannot wait ace, April and Stephen 776 2 1 Link to comment
Stephen 776 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) I still remember thinking about More Friends from Mineral Town, allegedly for the improved graphics and actually having to think over my would be bachelor. Whereas in FoMT, I just married Mary (or whoever the librarian was named) because "uhh, we both like books, it makes sense I guess?" Anyway, 11yo me gets to revisit the very important question of Cliff or Kai (or maybe someone else). Also Sarah, tyvm for the fishing bait~ Edited July 11, 2020 by Zora Spring 1 Link to comment
Spring Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 kai was always the love of my life, but I only had the first game and after marrying popuri, he just fuckin LEAVES FOREVER and i remember being so bummed bc i thought he was very cute Stephen 776 and April 2 Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I still remember the shitstorm when Tomodachi Life got localized and people thought that Nintendo had removed a "glitch" that allowed same-sex marriages in the Japanese version. In truth, it was to fix save data corruption, and the same-sex marriages never existed in the first place; people were just deliberately giving one of their Miis the wrong gender so that the game thought they were straight.

April Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 after looking up stuff about the remake i found a romhack of the original called "true love edition" that swaps the protags between fotm and mfotm lol bit sad to hear about the J version situation since i'd be playing in japanese if i got it Stephen 776 1 Link to comment
Youngster Joey Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Finished 999 today with the true ending. My girlfriend recommended me this game, and I wasn't quite digging the game at first. After my first failed ending, though, I was hooked. It's now my favorite DS visual novel, followed by Ace Attorney 1 and Hotel Dusk. I kind of miss unique DS titles that use the system in clever ways. April 1 Link to comment
Tyranogre Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 If 999 is so good, how come there’s no 1000? Link to comment

DranSeasona Posted July 13, 2020 Author Share Posted July 13, 2020 Talking about this reminds me a couple of one-off DS games that were really good fun at the time: Lost in Blue and Trace Memory. I found the latter in particular was quite compelling. Good story and neat puzzle elements. Doc Brown 1 Link to comment
blcdude1 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I loved Trace Memory, and was always annoyed NOA didn't bother releasing the Wii sequel in America. Link to comment

Aw man there was a sequel? I didn’t know that. If I recall correctly that was fairly par for the course for the time, right? A fair few games didn’t make the transition from Japan to North America around that time... Link to comment
