Inspired by tales of their grandfather’s pioneering days, the protagonist decides to pack their bags and leave the hustle and bustle of big city life for the frontier in Olive Town. When they arrive, they run into Victor, the town’s mayor and their grandfather’s old friend. He brings them to the old farm, which has been reclaimed by nature over the years. Determined to breathe life back into their grandfather’s dream and follow in his footsteps, the protagonist rolls up their sleeves and gets to work. Olive Town—which is just a stone’s throw away from the farm—is a port town built on the tip of a peninsula. It might be a quiet little town, but it is home to a whole host of unique characters. And while the townsfolk get by well enough in this picturesque seaside locale, a little more tourism never hurt anyone... The long-awaited brand new entry in the original farm/life simulation franchise, known in Japan as Bokujo Monogatari, makes its debut on Nintendo Switch, bringing players more freedom than ever before to shape an untamed wilderness and customize their farm down to the very tile. A new cast of marriage candidates, a town that grows and thrives along with your farm, and a request system highlight the new features, all while retaining the core elements of the STORY OF SEASONS series. Finding Earth Sprites while exploring your farmland may lead you to mysterious, fantastical lands such as gardens where the seasons never change, an island in the sky, or even the inside of a volcano! Capture memorable moments with your camera to share online with others as loading screens, or make use of the “tourist” system to send your farmer to other players’ towns as a sightseeing visitor.
Q: If I preorder this will I get the buffalo?
A: You will! The buffalo pocket plushie is one of the two goodies packed in with the Premium Edition, the other being a cloth poster! It's not a pre-order bonus, just part of what's included in the Premium Edition (you would not get it even if you pre-ordered the Standard Edition).
Q: If we preorder this does the dlc come with it? Or do we have to pay for the dlc??
A: The DLC is not included in any physical releases of the game (whether preordered or not) and will need to be purchased. It is unknown if the DLC will be available to purchase via any means other than directly from the Switch eShop. It is also unknown if a physical version with the DLC will ever be released, but that has not been the case with past Story of Seasons games.
Q: Does this have other language options? To be specific, Chinese simplified?
A: The only available languages for the US (and I think EU) release are English, Spanish, French, and German! So Simplified Chinese is not available, and to my knowledge, not planned. I don't know about the languages for other region releases.
