Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland, released in Japan as Bokujō Monogatari 3: Heart ni Hi o Tsukete (牧場物語3 ハートに火をつけて?), is a 2001 farm simulation game, part of the popular Harvest Moon series of video games. It was the first PlayStation 2 Harvest Moon game released, and the second to be released in the U.S. on a non-Nintendo console. The player takes on the role of a 21-year-old man whose grandfather, Tony, recently died and left him his farm. Upon arriving at the farm, nominally to pick up his grandfather's belongings, the player's character encounters three "Harvest Sprites" and the Harvest Goddess, who ask him to stay on the farm and help them. The area is slated to be demolished within a year to make way for a resort and amusement park. The goal of the game is to find a way to save the town before the year's end. Like other Harvest Moon games, the player must tend to his or her farm by growing and selling crops and gathering produce from his or her animals. ...
