The 18th of December is the 14th anniversary of the Japanese release of Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar! Here are the wallpapers from the official website to celebrate. So cool that the website is still up, even if the left side is now nothing more than a broken plugin. RIP, Flash...
This one is my favorite of the original DS era. I loved the design of the two protagonists (and used official art of the female protagonist as my icon for a long, long time), and I found the whole bazaar aspect of the game to be a lot of fun. Would absolutely love to see their outfits as a clothing choice in a new game or remake someday...

One of the wildest things I think that can happen in Grand Bazaar is just, stuff during blizzards lmfao. To set stage, during Winter, so far, it seems like you can’t fish or crop. Like. The river is straight up frozen over, allowing you to walk on it and cross to usually impassable areas, occasionally finding items. There’s also a lot of blizzards, at least for me this year (Winter 1).
So far, I’m not used to the weather indicator on the bottom right of the top-screen depicting how the weather is, so, following my once-strict animal care routine, I’m picking up all my four chickens and putting them outside first thing on Winter 1. Seeing the blizzard, I think, “Oh well this is just snow, haha, it’s Winter!” I put them in the outside pen, as well as pushing my cows outside.
Then I notice I’m sliding. Farmer’s slipping and sliding and it’s kinda hard to control. I get a hang of it eventually, but soon, in going to brush my cows I notice they’re sliding too.
After just getting a new field, I go to it, and all the way on the left hand side my cows are bumping into the far end trees and angry. Realizing that, oh, maybe this is extreme weather (!!!11), I sloooowly push their asses back inside, taking way too long due to the ice physics. Once they were in, I put up my three chickens. Three.
Thinking maybe the last one had managed to manage slip out of sight, maybe wander inside my house, I scour the entire map thoroughly, wondering where they were. Starting to panic, realizing that I didn’t know how well I was going to Do in the bazaar this season (I had only briefly seen the frozen over river on the next map iirc), most likely needing to rely on livestock to get by, I did a soft-restart. Despite the blizzard, I thought maybe this slightly buggy, often repetitive 2008 DS title could’ve glitched the chicken out. Redid the day. Nobody went outside, things were good!
AND THEN THE NEXT BLIZZARD HAPPENED. OKAY SO.
ApPARENTLY—
IF YOU JUST. TOSS YOUR CHICKENS OUT IN THE WILD TRYING TO AIM FOR THE PEN ON A BLIZZARD DAY
THERE IS A VERY GOOD CHANCE, THE BLIZZARD WILL JUST SNATCH YOUR CHICKEN
AND THEN YOU, HELPLESS TO EVER CATCH THEM, CAN ONLY RUN AND WATCH THEM BE CARRIED AWAY BY THE WINDS
AGHGHGHG ???
I USED TO PLAY HARVEST MOON A LOT BACK WHEN I WAS YOUNGER BUT LITERALLY ONLY ANIMAL PARADE/NEW BEGINNING/RUNE FACTORY 4 AND JUST A SMIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE OF TREE OF TRANQUILITY Y’ALL I DIDN’T EVEN GET TO THE FARMING STAGE IN THAT LAST ONE SOMEHOW LMFAO
Can someone please name any other HM games where non-standard animal losses can be. that extreme like jesus christ dude I came here to get silly at the bazaar not get silly at the mercy of nature woagh!!
TL;DR: I didn’t follow the weather and Smimbi get carried away in a blizzard 3^3

Harvestober Day 15: Nellie and her twins Lauren & Cindy from Grand Bazaar!
I love this family, Isaac (the dad) is great too but I didn't have time to add him. The villager families are the backbone of Harvest Moon games imo, their stories and cutscenes make each town more vibrant. Also Nellie is one of my fav HM moms, she's so soft and always seems sleepy!

The art style in Grand Bazaar is so cute! All the lil chibi faces and sprites and how they walk around during the weekly bazaar events, and getting to jump up on things. Kinda wish they'd make it easier to start fishing and mining tho.
