YMMV / Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness

• Die for Our Ship: Poor Sabrina. Chelsea/Vaughn shippers absolutely hate her, and all of the hate is completely undeserved, because she's just a nice, sweet girl who wouldn't hurt a fly.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: If your name isn't Vaughn, say "I". Seriously, out of all the characters in the entire franchise, Vaughn is not only the most beloved, but he has the most fan art and fan fiction centered around him (he has more fan fics on Fanfiction.net than any other HM character combined) ever.
• Scrappy Mechanic: The fact that everything in the entire game is mandated by the touch screen. This makes farming, throwing items, and other things extremely stressful. Sunshine Islands rectifies this, much to the fans' relief.
