What Is Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar?

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is a remake of the classic Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar. Set in the charming Zephyr Town, the game revolves around revitalizing a once-thriving bazaar that has lost its luster. As a new resident, your mission is to breathe new life into the town’s marketplace and make it bustling again.

Players take on the role of a farmer, planting and harvesting a variety of crops, then selling their produce at the weekly bazaar from a customizable stall. The game features a rich storyline, enhanced by voice acting—an exciting first for the series—adding depth and personality to your farming journey.
