* MissingSecret:
** Any day between Fall 10th and 12th, a unique forageable called The Full Moon Berry appears on the mountain near the restaurant. Other than selling for 500g there's nothing special about it.
** A weather vane can be found sometimes in the mine. Rick will claim that it belonged to his grandmother and take it if you talk to him. It never leads to anything else or has any other purpose.

''Harvest Moon 64'' is the third game in the ''VideoGame/HarvestMoon'' (now known as the ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons'') series, released in 1999 for the Platform/Nintendo64. An EvenBetterSequel to the original, it cemented the franchise as a successful (and [[MoneyDearBoy profitable]]) CultClassic. ''Harvest Moon 64'' sticks to the [[StrictlyFormula series formula]] -- indeed, helped [[TropeCodifier codify]] it -- and generally expands on original concept. The player's grandfather has recently died and the player has decided to move in and work the farm in grandpa's place. You have just over two years (until the end of the third Spring) to whip the farm into shape, become an active part of the local community, woo, wed, and bed a local bachelorette, and generally become a successful and responsible adult. At the end of this period, your father visits and grades your progress, marking the conclusion of the game as such, though there's nothing to keep you from [[PlayableEpilogue playing indefinitely after that]].

Despite a claim by Natsume (the game's North American publisher) that the game was too difficult to emulate properly and would probably never see the light of day on the UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole, both North America and Europe received ''Harvest Moon 64'' as an available download on the UsefulNotes/WiiU in late February of 2017, as part of a planned year-long celebration of the ''Harvest Moon'' franchise.

* MonsterBrotherCutieSister: Ann's brother Gary qualifies. He's not monstrous by any stretch of the word, but he's a "Social Disaster" as Ann puts it. Cold, silent, prone to bluntness when he does speak, and clearly doesn't like it when [[HelloInsertNameHere Pete]] takes an interest in Ann. That said, if you take the time to get to know him (which takes some work, believe us) it turns out that Gary is simply Quiet, not really mean.

* AllThereInTheManual: The Japanese strategy guide goes very in-depth into everyone; stating ages, likes, their personality, among other stuff. It also mentions how Elli and Pete are the OfficialCouple and how Rick has a crush on Karen.
* AmbiguousGender: The babies are referred to as "it". We do know Popuri's and Kai's child is female though.
