Wonderful Life) is an enhanced port of Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life for the PlayStation 2 system, featuring minor changes and add-ons to the original, with some of game elements were brought from Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life.

Plot[]

The basic plot is similar to several previous Harvest Moon games: the main character, a young man, inherits a somewhat run-down farm after the death of his father. The game takes place in the small village of Forget-Me-Not Valley.

True to its name, the game progresses through the main character's entire adult life, from young adulthood to old age. NPCs in the game, including the main character's child and wife, also grow older as time passes,

However, numerous years are skipped as the game is progressed.

Bachelorettes[]

  • Celia is perhaps the most traditional of the four girls. She lives and works on a vegetable farm at Vesta's Farm. Because she is usually easy to find and most of her favorite gifts are easily obtained, Celia is the easiest of the four girls to successfully court.
  • Muffy is a barmaid who works in Blue Bar. She recently moved to Forget-Me-Not Valley from the big city and has some difficulty adjusting to country life. 
  • Nami can often seem rude and distant, even when she is in love with the player character. Her attitude, her unpredictable schedule, and her unusual taste in gifts make Nami more difficult to woo than the other girls. If the player character marries Celia, Muffy, or Lumina, Nami leaves after the first year, only to return in the second chapter.
  • Lumina was added as a new bacherlorette in the Special Edition. She lives at the Villa with her grandmother and butler. She is a gifted pianist and can be won over with easy gifts like eggs and flowers
