The name changed in 2014 from ''Harvest Moon'' to ''Story of Seasons''. The official continuation of the series is now being released under that title, while the ''[[VideoGame/HarvestMoonNatsume Harvest Moon]]'' name continues onward by Natsume as a separate series, causing no small amount of confusion for fans and retailers alike. In early 2014, Marvelous dropped Natsume as publishing and localization company for ''Bokujou Monogatari'' in the West, switching to Creator/XSEEDGames--their Western division who were already localizing the ''Rune Factory'' series--starting with ''VideoGame/{{Story of Seasons|2014}}''. They picked a new name for the series, as Natsume still owned the rights to the ''Harvest Moon'' brand (and decided to make their own farming sim games under that label). Many fans favour XSEED's localisation and translation style and still have fondness for older games; two older games have been rereleased under the ''Story Of Seasons'' name as {{Enhanced Remake}}s.
