Hi there and welcome to the Harvest Moon community! ^-^

It doesn't matter which one you start with since they are all independent of each other. You can start with whatever game looks/sounds best to you! As far as Skytree and Trio go, they are not related. Marvelous and Natsume used to work together to publish the games in the US, but they have split. This caused there to be 2 different game series starting with Lost Valley and Story of Seasons. The traditional 'Harvest Moon' series is now done by Marvelous and called Story of Seasons, and the new games coming out as 'Harvest Moon' are basically a new series by Natsume. Personally I like both series now, but I like Story of Seasons better.

I would suggest you watch some gameplay videos and decide which one looks more appealing to you!

As far as old games in the series, I would HIGHLY recommend both Harvest Moon Back to Nature for PS1 and PSP, or Animal Parade for Wii. ^-^ I also suggest the site Ushi no Tane for more info about all of the games! ^-^

I am happy to discuss them with you if you have other questions! ^-^ Enjoy!

Thanks OK so harvest moon animal parade for the wii I can get seeing as I have Wii but my ps3 and psp I gave away. Thank you so much I've been playing my games again on my 3ds xl for about 1yr now and at times I would like to play an easy relaxing game.
 
Just a few more days till the Skytree Village release~!

You are very welcome! ^-^ Animal Parade is amazing and has a big cast of bachelors and bachelorettes to choose from! I hope you like it! ^-^ <3
 
Aw, I'm quite jealous that you'll get it on time. I'll get mine late, maybe next year.

Aww... I'm sorry. ;n; I hope you are able to get it sooner than that! Do you want me to let you know how it is?
 
Favorite Game: Animal Parade
Least Favorite Game:The Tale of Two Towns
Favorite Crop:Anything Multi-Harvest
Favorite Animal:Chickens
Favorite Festival:Any Romantic
Favorite Bachelor:Wizard
Favorite Bachelorette:Witch
Do you like Rival Marriages?: I have mixed feelings towards them. Sometimes it is fun, but if it is a hard to get person it really feels like a stressful time crunch getting them to like you.

Currently looking forward to Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns! I have played the first SOS to death and need something new.

You have good taste! ^.~ Magical marriage candidates are always fun! ^-^ I can see that about rival marriages, but when balanced properly I think it is very nice! I like that in ToT and AP they won't marry unless you purposely befriend the same gender side of the couple! You get to relax and pick who you want and then marry off the others! ^-^

I am very excited about Trio as well! Who are you hoping to marry? ^///^
 
I got Story of Seasons when it came out, but I didn't get too far past the tutorial...it just seemed really slow paced. Too slow for my taste. xD

I might go back to it and give it another go soon-ish. Maybe after Pokemon Moon is done.

I really need to get back into this game. I really enjoyed it.

Story of Seasons is a bit slow paced and gets super grindy towards the end. The new installment (Trio of Towns) is coming out early next year and has, according to folks with a Japanese copy, fixed a lot of those issues. I would recommend you check it out and see if it looks appealing to you! ^-^ Personally I really like Story of Seasons, but it isn't my favorite. I am only able to unlock everything because I decided to marry Kamil and have him do the reverse proposal in one of my files, and that takes a loooong time! XD

I really need to get back into this game. I really enjoyed it.

Which game in particular? There are so many and I like almost all of them! ^-^
 
Hello Samansu is popolocrouix part of Sos or hm and I see the skytree game in eshop

It is technically part of SoS, but I have not played it. It seems pretty different from the main series and I wasn't particularly motivated to check it out.

Yup! Harvest Moon: Skytree Village came out today! It is the latest in the Harvest Moon series which is the newer one. The new Story of Seasons is set to come out in February I believe. ^-^

I'm not sure. Normally I have a good idea going in, but I like several of the bachelors and bechelorettes...I haven't even settled on what gender my first character will be yet. xD I saw pictures of the girl with fox ears, which tips the scale in favor of being male a bit...
 
I may just get Story of Seasons 2 ^.^ In my whole life as a gamer I'm ashamed to say I only played one Harvest Moon game: HM for the Snes. Never had an opportunity to play the others sadly but I hear that FoMT is a top fave among fans. A Wonderful Life too ^.^

SoS looked real good but I'm glad I waited, since part 2 looks so visually appealing :)
