** For those wondering about the two other men available for marriage, they will show up either in a navy blue tux (Jack) or a fancy FarEast style outfit (Iori), which prevents playing the trope in any shape or form.

The PlayerCharacter's grandfather was one of the founders of Olive Town, in which he used to run a farm. Impressed by tale, they decide to move to Olive Town. Unfortunately, the farm has been abandonned long ago, turned into a forest lacking even the remnants of a farm house and what facilities are left too damaged to be of any use. Olive Town is fortunately still standing and its mayor, who knew their grandfather, is fine with giving the PlayerCharacter all the help they need to revive the farm to its former glory. He wouldn't mind a little help turning the town into a popular tourist site, either.

* GratuitousFrench: Karina, the FashionDesigner staying in town who runs the clothing shop when it's built, sometimes greets the PlayerCharacter with a "Bonjour".

** A downplayed version can be obtained via the PlayerCharacter going for the light gray tux and marrying Damon, whose wedding tux is black; if you're wondering about the two other men available for marriage, they will show up either in a navy blue tux (Jack) or something resembling a traditional Japanese wedding outfit (Iori).

* GayGroomInAWhiteTux: It's possible to end up with this, though having it happen on purpose takes forward knowledge of something that's supposed to be a surprise during normal gameplay. One of the tux options for the PlayerCharacter is black (the alternative tux is light gray). Ralph's wedding tux has a white jacket with black pants, while Emilio's is completely white.

From there, it's the standard ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons'' formula: manage the farm, befriend the locals, maybe start a family with one of the latter. The means by which the farm is expanded differs from previous installments in the series in that many crops, animals and pieces of infrastructure need to be salvaged from the forest the farm has become before more of them can be purchased in town, making exploration necessary to bring more variety. The farm ''also'' happens to be on top of a massive archeological site, which results in various ancient artifacts being found after rainy days or in the mines. And the town has a mostly-empty museum that will be all too happy to get those artifacts, photos of local wildlife and any fish the player can catch.

* AMFMCharacterization: Damon's first heart event involves him changing the song played on the café's radio to something surprisingly upbeat for his usual brooding behavior.

Dowloadable content was created to be gradually made available after the game's release for a price, including new areas with characters returning from ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonANewBeginning'' and previous ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasons'' games.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: The presence of loading screens between some areas is esepcially noticeable for a franchise that had been averting this trope for several installments before this one.

* AndYourRewardIsInteriorDecorating: Some of the achievement rewards are pieces of furniture. One of them is obtained from upgrading from the tent to the log cabin, which is the smallest house able to accomodate player-selected furniture ''at all''.

* UnknownItemIdentification: The ancient items that can be found are always in small bags that need to be brought to Reina, who works in the museum, so their contents can be identified.

* VideoGamePerversityPotential: Despite the franchise being as family-friendly as one can get, providing the player with a camera in a game with DatingSim elements has exactly the results one would expect. And the online features include getting pictures taken by other players on their loading screens. The backsides of wild mammals and MyEyesAreUpHere shots of the female bachelorettes are recurring themes.
