Evidence checked
- Farming and raising animals remain core systems.
- Exploration includes caves, islands and towns.
- Romance, marriage and village restoration are confirmed.
What this does—and does not—confirm
The store genre label should not be expanded into claims about combat, multiplayer or RPG statistics that Natsume has not announced.
This answer covers Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea only. It does not copy schedules, gifts, values, controls or mechanics from earlier Harvest Moon games.
