Anthos is the land that players will explore in Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, and it is inhabited by the Harvest Sprites who safeguard both nature and people, as well as the Harvest Goddess. Unfortunately, about 10 years ago, a volcanic eruption occurred in the region, forcing the Harvest Goddess and her Harvest Sprites to utilize all their powers to protect the people. Although the people were rescued, the villages were cut off from each other due to the destruction caused by the eruption. The Harvest Goddess, however, believed that the villages and people would eventually be reunited, so she left a message in a bottle and sent it into the ocean, along with a letter and a magic key, before going into a deep slumber.

Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, the latest entry in the long-running farming simulation franchise, promises players an exciting new adventure. As they explore the world of Anthos, they will discover five distinct towns, each with their own seasons, terrain, and colorful cast of villagers to interact with. In addition to growing crops, players will also be able to care for a variety of livestock, including cows, sheep, chickens, and more. Of course, there's also the added fun of wooing and marrying one of the game's five eligible bachelors or bachelorettes!
