Gameplay
Like all Harvest Moon games, Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar is a
simulation game. Gameplay aspects that have made the series a
favorite over the years, such as farming, animal husbandry,
marriage and raising a family are all present, but the new focus
that Grand Bazaar brings is an emphasis on the town marketplace.
Players are tasked with helping to rebuild a once grand
marketplace that has fallen on hard times. Prompted by quotas
that the town mayor provides, players accumulate goods and
animals, grown and raised on their farms, and a variety of
special good that are created at windmills throughout the game
space. These can be sold at the weekly bazaar for money that can
either be saved or used to buy special items only available at
the bazaar. Special manufactured good created at windmills, such
as rings, can also be given to prospective mates, which may
increase the chances of getting married more quickly and starting
a family. Additional features include the ability to play as a
boy or a girl, four-player game support and more responsive
controls that allow for faster movements and a double-jump
ability.
