Harvest Moon: Magical Melody was released in 2005 for the GameCube and remastered for the Wii in 2008. The game follows the same premise as others in the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series: you farm, forage, mine, and befriend the townspeople. The ultimate goal is to collect 100 musical notes to restore the Harvest Goddess. There are also a lot of Harvest Moon: Magical Melody cheats and unlocks along the way.
Harvest Moon: Magical Melody Premise
In Harvest Moon: Magical Melody, you play as the newest resident of Flowerbud Village. (On the Wii version of the game, you play as Adam, but on GameCube, you can choose a male or female character.) One year before your arrival, the Harvest Goddess turned herself to stone, despairing at the villagers’ attitudes toward her. As Mayor Theodore helps you begin farming, you will also meet Jamie, who’s decided to restore the Harvest Goddess to glory. You and Jamie become rivals in this goal, and you team up with the Harvest Sprites to collect magical music notes and befriend the other villagers.
Harvest Moon: Magical Melody Characters
Like the other games in the Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons series, Magical Melody is full of quirky characters. You can marry any of the 10 bachelors and 10 bachelorettes. You can also marry Jamie, although if you do, the game will end right away. In addition, many of the townspeople from other Harvest Moon games return.
Aside from the primary marriage candidates, the main characters of Magical Melody are:
- Jamie: Your main rival, Jamie is known for having a short temper. Jamie is determined to save the Harvest Goddess. In the GameCube version, Jamie is the opposite gender of the player character, but in the Wii version, Jamie is always female.
- Theodore: The mayor of Flowerbud Village, Theodore is the first person you meet. He helps you set up and expand your farm.
- Woody: The town’s head craftsman, he takes great pride in his work. By befriending him, you can improve your farmhouse.
