An idea for a new farming game

I have loved farming games since I started with Harvest Moon for the DS. I've pretty much played them all. When the companies split I went with the Story of Season games, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. To say I was disappointed with the new Story of Season game is understated, but I have already made a post about my thoughts on the game. I am here to give the company possibly a new way to gain fans but still make a fun game. My idea was that you would still farm but it would be mythical/magical. You could raise creatures such as a dragon, unicorn, etc. The bachelor and bachelorettes would also be mythical or magical creatures. You would not have tools instead you would use magic to farm. The story could be something along the lines of you being the first human to farm on the land. Additionally, the town's citizens should sound like actual people, not computers, I found that in pioneers of olive town no matter how much the person likes you or you talk to them they just repeat the same lines over and over again. I think they should talk like people, they get different lines with how much you get to know them and if you give them something they don't like they might not talk to you for a while or something. These are just ideas for what I think could make a fun and interesting game, let me know what you guys think.

Thanks for reading.

An review on Story of Season Pioneers of Olive Town

So I want to start off by saying I have been a huge fan of these games since before the spilt. I have played every game since the GameCube era and have loved all of them. When the split happened I stock with the games that marvelous published as they were very similar to what I used to these games and fell in love with them all over again they made such amazing changes that is until Pioneers of Olive Town. I will state that I gave this game a very fair chance I put well over 100 hours into the game before I sold it and here are some of the problems that I had with the game and this is all just my opinion. The first is a minor problem it's the way the tools are used in the game, I thought I'd start with this as it is very minor I just didn't like the fact that they didn't have their own designated buttons. Second is the animals they no longer give you better products once you have worked your way to make them really happy and well-fed. It's now random and doesn't matter that stuff which is the core of the games to me, why else would you have animals instead of just planting crops. The third is the possible S/O for your character they don't have enough different dialogue. Like in previous games when you start to get closer to your chosen person their dialogue changes to match that but no matter where you are in the relationship they still say the same things as when you met them. The fourth is the festivals they feel a little lackluster to me, like what happened to all the animal festivals where you could show off how well you took care of the animals. Fifth is another minor problem but I thought I should mention it is that in this installment there weren't a good variety of animals you could have on the farm I would love that in the next game. Finally, the biggest problem in my opinion of the game is that there is nothing really fun to do in the game, yes there is fixing the town and fixing your land but the fixing of the town is random and fixing your farm requires so much luck it is just not worth it for me. I just feel that there is too much focus on random factors to really make this game feel like what they use to feel back on the 3Ds and not as fun.
