I got the press release about Story of Seasons yesterday. Marvelous makes the Harvest Moon games in Japan, and now that XSEED is a wholly subsiduary of Marvelous, they can publish all of Marvelous' games here in the US. But they can't call it Harvest Moon because Natsume owns that name. So they are going to give it the directly translated Japanese name of Farm Story: Story of Seasons. I kind of feel bad for Natsume, though. Harvest Moon was their claim to fame, and I wonder what they'll do now. Natsume has always been very supportive in my game reviewing career, so I hope this change won't hinder them much.
