Travis Bruno of Capsule Computers writes:
“Over the last few years the line between remaster and remake has blurred to the point that most remasters are just straight remakes. Sure, there are still plenty of collections and titles that are given a slight visual upgrade or quality of life features, but there are just as many that have been re-built from the ground up, using only the framework of the original to help establish itself. Such has been the case for the last few Story of Seasons games and nowhere is it more evident now than with Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar that has seen countless mechanics that were previously tied to DS mechanics or limited by the handhelds’ systems now grow far beyond the roots that it once had. So now that Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar has fully arrived in its remade form, is it a worthy harvest?”
