#Harvest moon story of seasons series
Natsume had nothing to do with the Harvest Moon series beyond translating it, distributing the copies, and owning the English title for the games. The publisher is the group that handles the marketing, distribution, and in the case of foreign games translation. Now for those who don't know the developers are the people who make the game.
Natsume owned the rights to the name Harvest Moon so the english name of the series was changed to Story of Seasons. decided to have the Bokujo Monogatari series localized by their American Publishing brand Xseed Games.
From 1996-2013 Bokujo Monogatari was translated and distributed for english speaking audiences by Natsume under the name Harvest Moon. The Japanese series Bokujo Monogatari, directly translated as 'Ranch Story', was developed by Victor interactive, which later was acquired by Marvelous Entertainment, and is now called Marvelous Inc. I thought it would be a good idea to make a post explaining the name change, provide a list of the games that fall under the Story of Seasons series, as well as list the ones that fall under the new Harvest Moon series. People misunderstand and get defensive of the early games they loved not knowing those aren't the games people are talking about. Especially when the Natsume Harvest Moon games are mentioned. Lately I've noticed there is quite a bit of confusion still about the Harvest Moon series changing their name to Story of Seasons.
