Harvest Moon: Magical Melody - Gameplay

Gameplay

Among a vast variety of possible personal goals to be accomplished in Magical Melody, there are two primary objectives.

Firstly, players are enlisted by the Harvest elfs to awaken the Harvest Goddess, who has turned herself to stone out of melancholy at the townspeople's disregard. To do this, players must gather musical notes by achieving various chores and milestones. Collecting at least fifty out of a total of one hundred notes allows the player to create the titular magical melody that will revive the village's protectress.

Secondly, the player is able to woo and eventually marry one of the townspeople. Players have the option of either a male or female character in the GameCube version. Each gender has a choice of ten potential spouses of the opposite sex, along with the androgynous rival Jamie who is eligible for either player gender.

The game also includes several minigames in which up to four players can test their skills.
