However, modern people living in various intersections cannot easily change their lives. It is impossible to move to a place where the environment really changes, but we have a game. And there is Harvested scheduled to be released on November 4 from Square Enix . I live in the fantasy world... this is the Harvester.

Three pillars of life, exchange and adventure

On November 4, 2022, Square Enix will release the Nintendo Switch version Harvester (Steam version will be released on November 5, 2022).

With the changing of spring, summer, autumn and winter, we will nurture crops, live with the people living together, and follow the mysteries of the world of Harvested with them. At a dangerous time called the death season, the person (the protagonist) who had fallen at the outskirts of the village for some reason, and would be involved in this world without knowing anything.

The death season refers to a short period of time between the original season and the season. Despite being short, if you go outside, the atmosphere will be as dangerous as life, which will wither all crops. The villagers warmly welcome the players, despite being unusual just to fall outside at such times.

Ah... Isn't it just right for the start of a new life you've been looking for! ! In this way, players begin to live independently in a fantasy world.

Harvester is the main axis of life, exchange, and adventure .

Yes, you have to live first. Grow and harvest crops yourself and get the food for the day.

Let's borrow professional knowledge to prepare for life

In the world of Harvested, we will grow, harvest, and ship it as income. The release date of this work where you can experience such a life is November 4 (STEAM version is November 5). Naturally, since it has not been released yet, life in Harvested will be fun in the future. Trial versions with Nintendo Switch are being distributed

While looking forward to the game experience, I want to acquire knowledge of agriculture, which is a source of income, in preparation for the life of Harvester in the world.

Therefore, the editorial department has decided to head to the Shun Vegetable Minor Farm, which runs in Abase City, Kanagawa Prefecture. The Shun Vegetable Minor Farm runs a community-based direct sales shop, and also has a business called rental farm. It seems to be there.

If it is Shun Vegetable Minor Farm, you will have the knowledge necessary for life in the world of Harvester! !...... Well, it's difficult in reality, so I was supposed to enjoy the game world, but again in the real world...?

I don't care about such details! !

── Nice to meet you. Thank you for today. I was interested in agriculture and asked me to tell me here. How do you do it here?

Minor Hiragana (Horendogawa): This is Okinawa of Shun Vegetable Minor Farm. About 13 years ago, it was a removal Sarah... Actually, this area was a mountain, but I started from the place where trees such as cedar, chestnuts, and plums were rooted and made into a field.

At first, I built one hut and did an unmanned sales office, but as the number of customers gradually increased, I decided to do a direct sales office. However, it was a direct sales office that also thought that it was boring just to open a direct sales place, and to have customers harvest the raw things directly.

In this area, there were many residential areas, and it was valuable in terms of farmland nearby, so I was taking a questionnaire such as what kind of crops should be for customers from the beginning. I wish I had chestnuts, I wish I could get grapes, I cleared them one by one.

When I got it in a form like a request card, examined whether it could be done in this land, and actually fought back, I have made such a crop, I was very pleased with the customers. In that case, the word of mouth that listens to various voices spreads, and now we make about 80 kinds of vegetables a year.

Thank you. Would you like to see the video of Harvested and have an opinion as an agricultural position?

Hirudokawa: (while watching the video) I start from reclamation... Well, first, the stiff soil is softened with mulberry. Then, the drainage improves and the root tension improves.

Hirudokawa: Before sowing seeds, I would like to give fertilizer if possible. Nutrition is required to grow up, so strictly speaking, giving fertilizers and sowing seeds.

Hirudokawa: Oh, it's good. Wheat certainly doesn't need to be so much fertilizer. There was a fierce image of games, but it seems fun to raise something in it. It's relaxed and anyone can enjoy it.

──How did you see the video?

Hirudokawa: The first thing I thought was that the agricultural work in this game was a traditional method. At first, it was a game, so I was wondering if I would do something very futuristic.

In our real world, I think many people do not know these old-fashioned farm work. You don't even have the experience of digging soil with mulberry. So I think it's fresh for people now.

──Is that so, is it the same for those who are involved in agriculture now?

Hirudokawa: If you are an agriculture, I don't think you've ever used mulberry. However, now the mechanization is very advanced, so most parts are d1. Is it sometimes used in key points that are difficult to use with machines?

It is amazing because old people were doing one mulberry. Nowadays, relying on fertilizers, relying on pesticides, and of course the scale is different, but in the past, you used natural things. In this game, you can experience that.

It can be said that the greed is more detailed, for example, sugar content and size, but that is not the main work, so I think it would be easy to experience.

── Some games may be able to do it for agriculture.

Hirudokawa: That's why. People living in the city will not have any particular opportunity to do so, so there are many customers who want to have this experience. I guess you can feel the fun of raising yourself in this game.

I often tell customers that child-rearing and agriculture are very similar through agricultural experiences. If you are thirsty, you will do water, if you are hungry, eat rice, and the method is a little different. So, when raising vegetables, they say that if you think in the same way as raising children, you can make good vegetables.

I say that you should have affection, but the point is to look at beans. Looking at the various expressions of the baby, you may be worried that you may be sick. Vegetables become sick. If the color of the leaf has fallen a little, you may judge that there is not enough fertilizer.

── By the way, is the game usually played?

Hirudokawa: My son is doing quite a bit. But it's basically busy. The feeling of the day will be g1. It has nothing to do with vegetables. I really want to live comfortably while playing games. The only thing that is, when it rains... But recently there is a house, so it doesn't happen easily (laughs).

── Then, please tell us more about the actual agricultural work.

Hirudokawa: As shown in the previous video, it is important to first soften the soil. It was a scene where you used mulberry. In places where drainage is poorly drained, the roots are not stretched, and they do not grow. So this is the basics first.

If you talk about agricultural work in earnest, there are actually more detailed processes, but I think that there is no problem in the flow of cultivating, rolling seeds, and harvesting.

Hirudokawa: Does this come out of Jury as much as you want? Is it possible to magically because it's a fantasy? If water is scattered with magic... this is good.

Water is important to grow vegetables. Vegetables grow by sucking nutrients together when sucking water from the rooted soil. So water is absolutely indispensable.

The task of giving water... pulling a long hose, loading a large tank, and starting the motor, it is difficult to water. If it is time when it rarely rains due to climate change, you may have to water it every day. It's hard work. I want to sprinkle it magically (laughs).

─。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。 Do you have any real farmers do something your own?

Hirudokawa: It's not as good as a machine, but I think some people make a small tool. The planting interval is called a share (Kabul). For example, if the between shares is 35 cm intervals, a device that can be marked with the soil is prepared for each interval. It is difficult to measure 35 cm one by one, so if you have a seal, you can plant it without hesitation.

Other than that, I wish there was such a thing...! ! There are many ideas, but it's a realistic place that it's hard to get the time to make.

In terms of mechanical repair, there are some parts that we do ourselves. No matter how many prices are, the price of vegetables as a consumer is about to some extent. Among them, the materials required for agricultural work are soaring, and the area of the land is also fixed, so it is honest that there is only expenses that can be reduced.

──The period of death season appears in this work. A close image in the real world is something like a volcanic ash, and it is a period when crops cannot be raised, but what should I do if the death season actually comes in our world?

Hirudokawa: It may not be surprisingly fantasy. In this area, if Mt. Fuji erupted, volcanic ash will fall in Kant. Unfortunately, the crops are annihilated if they accumulate 10 cm, 20 centimeters. It's not an impossible story.

In addition, it is not possible to grow crops from above with volcanic ash. If you want to take measures... Well, I guess you have to remove the volcanic ash somehow. Even if it is house cultivation, it may be crushed by the accumulated weight, and even if it is safe, light will not pass, and it will not be suitable for cultivation. It may be more difficult to remove the ash piled up in the house.

──I Indeed, you should be prepared for the seasons for death... Then, at the end of the interview, for readers who will be interested in agriculture through Harvester Please comment as farm.

Hirudokawa: At Shun Vegetable Minor Farm, we have a paid farm. The area is 20 square meters. It costs 5,000 yen a month, 60,000 yen a year. Since it is an urban-type agriculture, I will prepare everything from materials, tools and seedlings from fertilizers so that even those who have no experience can do it well. I also provide technical guidance, so I can make perfect vegetables even if I don't have any knowledge (laughs).

Of course, the cultivation itself is premised that you will enjoy it, so you can do it yourself from sowing, seedling, harvesting and cleaning up while giving advice. It is a two-cycle and vegetables cultivation in spring and summer and autumn and winter. If you can come here, you can do it empty-handed.

Get the agricultural skill immediately! !

── Then, please tell me the actual work! ! It is necessary to live in the world of Harvester! !

Hirudokawa: Now I can't do everything with mulberry. If you run straight on a machine, you will end up with this. The work that I did each in the games in the games is this in modern times. However, in a small space where the machine does not enter, I still do it with mulberry.

Close to the game that shakes mulberry

Hirudokawa: Next, let's do it with mulberry. I think it's quite heavy when I bring it. The reason for weight is necessary because it is necessary to drop the Muller and insert it into the soil. It is not to swing down with your arm and put it in the soil. Perhaps the way you have trained will not have physical strength. Lift the mulberry so as not to put a burden on the waist and drop it. I stab it deeply because the mulberry is heavy. This is the principle.

── (The more you drop the mulberry, the more you can do the correct agricultural work in the world of Harvester...!)

Hirudokawa: Are you okay? Let's do the work of planting.

Let's plant it efficiently using tools

Hirudokawa: The soil has been softer, so let's actually plant it next. I would like to use the tools that appeared in the previous story here. It is OK if you stab this tube in the soil, drop the seedlings inside, and lift it while holding the handle.

Hirudokawa: You can also plant it directly on the soil by hand, but after all your waist is hard. It is also important to devise such a tool. You can make a tool with a little time, but a small one costs about 3 million yen for a small one.

Agriculture costs money. Even if you invest, it is hard to recover it. You can take advantage of various support, devise and lower the cost, and then do it.

It's a luxurious harvest!

Hirudokawa: Let's harvest a little. What we will do from now on is the ginseng in the growth process, but we can eat it properly.

Hirudokawa: It's still a small carrot to sell, but the ginseng at this stage is soft and very sweet. In supermarkets, it is not usually lined up, so in that sense, there is a pleasure to grow it yourself.

If you wash it with water as it is, you can eat it directly, so please try it.

── Oh, sweet! ? I was not very good at eating raw carrots, but it is very sweet and delicious without feeling bitterness.

Hirudokawa: A considerable amount of water will fly before shipping and lining up as a product. Then it seems that the sugar content will be lost to some extent, and you will feel bitter. After all, there is a taste that you can not meet unless you are freshly picked.

── Today, I was able to experience the knowledge of agriculture, the actual work, and the harvest. Thanks to Mr. Hirudokawa, we seem to be able to live in the world of Harvested... I'm really thankful to you! !

Let's know the life of Harvested

With the knowledge of the actual farming as knowledge, we have the power to live even if we go to the Harvester world. But that alone is one hand drop. Now you have to know about the world of Harvested.

So I tried this knowledge with the Nintendo Switch's Harvest Switch free trial version where you can play the beginning of the product version! By the way, the trial version can be played to 15 hours or 2 chapters in the game, and save data can be carried over to the product version. In addition, the opinion of the user who played the trial version will be partially reflected in the product version. For more information, see the Harvested official website.

Harvested official website

Players, the protagonists who have lived in a wake-up village, will rent a house and land that has not been used for a while near the village. There were some places where farming could be done.

The land where farm work can be done can be highlighted and can be confirmed when approaching. In the same state, it is not even planted to plant seeds and seedlings. As I learned from Mr. Hirudokawa, let's first prepare mulberry and dig the soil and soften it! !

With some kind of powerful power in fantasy, you can take it out on the spot if you choose the Muller. If you dig several times and the appearance of the soil changes, it is complete.

Seed sowing will end immediately by pressing the button that uses the tool from the player's bag. Don't forget to water! !

In the world of Harvester, it takes only a few days to be harvested after planting crops, so harvest as soon as possible! ! It will change to the next season in 30 days (although the death season is interposed in between, so it seems okay if you do not work too much for cultivation. Let's proceed without difficulty at your own pace.

The harvested crop can be eaten as it is, and it will also be a dish of cooking. If you can fill the hero's stomach, you will be able to work in the world of Harvester more advantageously, so let's actively cook.

Nevertheless, if you put the surplus in the shipment box, it will be liquidated when the day is over, and you can earn as a sales. With this, we will buy seeds and seedlings and proceed with the next farm work.

Even if it seems to be used as a farmland, there are obstacles at first and large land cannot be used. It seems that if there is a tool that manages this OWA, it can be solved...

The people who take care of Harvester will warmly welcome the protagonist. Humans, cannot live al1. Sometimes it's a good idea to ask for help. This time, I learned the secrets of agriculture from Mr. Hirudokawa, but it seems that there is a limit to solving anything only in the fantasy world.

There is a great concern to go in a world where you don't know culture or land. The next thing you need is an exchange technology to survive.

There is still more time until November 4, 2022, when Harvested will be released. In order to survive in this world, we have headed to the next co-worker, Japan Communication Approval Association .

Next time, Exchange will be released on Wednesday, November 2nd.
