{{Heading|Why did Harvest Moon change its name to Story of Seasons?}}
 
 
One of the most frequent questions that we get is the change from ''Harvest Moon'' to ''Story of Seasons''. Although both titles still exist, fans have noticed that ''Story of Seasons'' continues on with a lot of traditional Harvest Moon game play and artwork. Newer ''Harvest Moon'' titles, however, have taken a different direction entirely.
 
 
Natsume, for years, had been localizing the'' ''Bokujō Monogatari'' ''series'' (''Harvest Moon'') ''and publishing the games that we all know and love! However, recently, Natsume's rights to localize these games expired. Natsume kept the trademark on the name of "Harvest Moon," and started to make new games in the series that were different from what the original publisher (Marvelous) had done. These games include ''[[Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley]], [[Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories]], [[Harvest Moon: Skytree Village]]'' and ''[[Harvest Moon: Light of Hope]]''.
 
 
Because Marvelous was no longer allowed to utilize the name of "Harvest Moon," the current and future games of the ''Bokujō Monogatari'' series was changed to the new title "Story of Seasons" outside of Japan and is the true continuation of the original ''Harvest Moon'' series.

It should be noted that Andrea is the first ever bachelorette in the series to only be available through downloadable content! In her first appearance, ''[[Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley]]'', she only appears in game if purchased from the game's "DLC" menu for $1.49. This was changed when Andrea makes a second appearance in ''[[Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories]]'', and she is now made available in game for free!

Franchise History

One of the most frequent questions that we get is the change from Harvest Moon to Story of Seasons. Although both titles still exist, fans have noticed that Story of Seasons continues on with a lot of traditional Harvest Moon game play and artwork. Newer Harvest Moon titles, however, have taken a different direction entirely.

Natsume, for years, had been localizing the Bokujō Monogatari series (Harvest Moon) and publishing the games that we all know and love to an English audience! However, in 2013, Natsume's rights to localize these games expired when the two companies split. Natsume kept the trademark on the name of "Harvest Moon," and started to make new games in the series that were different from what the original publisher (Marvelous) had done. These games include. They have since made six games that can be found listed here.

Because Marvelous was no longer allowed to utilize the name of "Harvest Moon," the current and future games of the Bokujō Monogatari series was changed to the new title "Story of Seasons" outside of Japan and is the true continuation of the original Harvest Moon series. They now publish their English games through XSeed.
