Introduction

Save the Homeland is the eighth installment in the Harvest Moon series, released for the Playstation 2. Although still a great game, it's looked down upon by some fans for differing so much to others in the series. For example, the player can't marry. The protagonist's grandfather, Tony, has recently passed away and they are left his farm. Originally, they come to collect their belongings, but while doing so, they encounter the Harvest Goddess who asks them to save Sugar Village from being turned into a resort and amusement park. By completing any of the nine scenarios in one year, they are able to save or lose the village. Once the year is over, the game resets itself so the player can complete one of the other scenarios. Money, animals, profiles and endings carry over files.
