Hi there everybody; welcome to a different version of ‘Field Artwork Brawl’!
It is form of mad that one other week has handed already, proper..? The place is the time going?! By no means thoughts.
Final week, we took a have a look at one of many all-time greats on SNES: Mega Man X. It was a ruddy shut one, too! Europe and North America teamed as much as tackle Japan, and the duo simply managed to take the crown with 53% of the vote. Each designs are completely unbelievable, so we’re not solely stunned you people have been a bit torn on this one.
This week, in celebration of the latest announcement of Story of Seasons: A Great Life, we will be wanting on the unique GameCube launch from 2003 (2004 for western audiences): Harvest Moon: A Great Life. For a lot of (this author included!), A Great Life was the gateway into the world of Harvest Moon, boasting the attractive, tranquil setting of ‘Neglect-Me-Not-Valley’ together with a forged of characters that has lived on within the minds of followers for a few years since.
For this week’s Field Artwork Brawl, Europe and North America are as soon as once more teaming up as a result of overwhelming similarities between the areas’ field artwork designs, so Japan shall be at it alone! We reckon it is likely to be an in depth one once more this week, however as ever, the winner shall be decided by you high quality individuals.
You’ll want to forged your votes within the ballot under; however first, let’s take a look at the field artwork designs themselves.
North America / Europe
The North American and European design for A Great Life is probably going the one you are most conversant in. All regional designs are fairly comparable when it comes to composition — with the sport’s protagonist standing triumphantly within the centre, surrounded by a bunch of animals and fellow villagers — however what units the western design aside is the inclusion of a full background (comparable, however not an identical within the two examples above), presumably set someplace in Neglect-Me-Not Valley.
It is a very peaceable murals; actually indicative of the form of expertise you will be getting with A Great Life.
Japan
Japan’s design for A Great Life is, once more, comparable in composition, however the protagonist and animals are surrounded by a big wreath of flowers and greens; a sign of the sorts of stuff you’ll be planting throughout your life on the farm. We should admit, regardless of the lacking background, we do really favor the extra vibrant, stylised method taken with the protagonist and animals right here; it is good! That is going to be a tricky one, for positive…
Bonus
Harvest Moon: One other Great Life launched in 2005 and showcased the very same gameplay and construction as the unique launch. The distinction? You are enjoying as a woman as a substitute of a boy, and your love pursuits have additionally swapped genders. Was it mandatory? Mmm, possibly not, but it surely may need launched a number of extra individuals to the collection, regardless.
The field artwork itself is form of a mix of the earlier designs from A Great Life. The animals from Japan’s field artwork have been lifted straight into this one, but it surely’s additionally taken a leaf from the western field artwork design and opted to incorporate a background as soon as once more. It is a good method total; form of taking the most effective of each worlds!
