Siliconera has shared another round of details for Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories. That includes a new comments from Natsume’s Graham Markay, who said that this title is intended to address criticisms that fans had with The Lost Valley.

Here’s a rundown of what Siliconera shares in its article:

“We heard what our fans had to say. We got compliments as well as criticisms. One of the main issues was probably a town. This returns to the fundamentals. Is there upgrades? Yes. Is there giving gifts? Yes. Are there a variety of bachelors and bachelorettes? Yes. This isn’t a sequel to The Lost Valley.” – Graham Markay, Vice President of Operations at Natsume

– Players arrive on a rustic farm that used to be in a striving town
– As you sow crops and care for cows, the farm thrives and the townsfolk begin to remember what their town is like
– Can visit residents in their homes
– Court five bachelors or bachelorettes
– Not a sequel to Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley
– This game has some familiar characters
– The Lost Valley’s clocksmith Andrea is in the game
– Luke from The Lost Valley is also a datable character
– A witch bachelorette and wizard bachelor were also added due to fan requests

Alongside some new videos, Capcom also revealed some details about the DLC that The Great Ace Attorney is getting.

The DLC will come in weekly episodes called “issues” of “Randst Magazine”, priced at 300 yen each. If you know your Holmes lore, you’ll know that this is a reference to Strand Magazine, a magazine in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories were originally published before they were released as books and anthologies.

Each “issue” of Randst Magazine will feature some short episodic content along with some making-of / behind the scenes content like artwork and music. If you buy the game before July 19th, you’ll get the first issue for free.

The Great Ace Attorney will be released in Japan on July 9th. A Western release date has not yet been announced.
