Harvestella‘s incoming launch on the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam is set for November 4th, and today Square Enix shared a new blog featuring some of the final major features before launch, as well as some interesting tweaks based on feedback from the free demo launched earlier this year on for the Switch.
Previous updates included a look at each major season aside from Quietus, including Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter — each represented by a town boasting unique features, cuisine, items, and NPCs.
Changes from the demo will be part of a day one update to the retail version only. They include:
- Time progression has been slowed down so you’ll be able to fit in more activities in a day.
- A reduced hit time for fishing, making the activity more rewarding.
- Switching jobs in battle is now faster, with a reduced cooldown timer between them.
- The Mage job will now attack more swiftly, based on feedback that it felt too slow.
- A new warning effect has been implemented that better communicates when the player character has critically low HP.
- The retail version has been improved with a partial reduction in loading times, modifications to the UI when saving or using auto-save, and various bug fixes.
Check out the new info on the latest Harvestella gameplay features:
Quietus Dungeon
During Quietus – and only during Quietus – a mysterious dungeon becomes accessible. The interior is somewhat strange…
You enter this deep dungeon from a well, which you’ll find in a certain location…
Defeat the fearsome enemies that await you on each floor and press on further into the deepest depths of the dungeon.
New Job: Lunamancer
Your weapons and abilities in battle are determined by the Jobs you have equipped. By recruiting characters with a particular job, your protagonist will be able to use it, too.
Release is nearly upon us, but we have time to reveal one more job: the Lunamancer!
This job excels at wide-range magic attacks and weakening enemies. It can perform attacks that take advantage of the planet’s huge mass.
Daily Life: Cooking Deliveries
Over the last few months, we’ve shown you many drool-inducing shots of the delicious food you can cook in HARVESTELLA. But what can you do with it?
You can eat it or sell it, of course, but you can also use it to fulfill cooking deliveries!
Residents of the different towns you visit on your adventure may sometimes ask you for a particular dish.
By cooking and delivering their requested dish, you can earn a range of rewards including money and new recipes.
Daily Life: Conellu Dolls
In a certain town, a hideout lies quietly nestled away.
It is said that the owner of this hideout, Chief Conellu, will exchange any Conellu Dolls you find and hand over for some great stuff.
Conellu Dolls can be found in all kinds of places, lying around towns or in dungeons.
Pick them up and claim your reward from Chief Conellu!
