Same here, same here. My favorite style was Friends of Mineral Town/the first DS games. I got every DS game that came out until A New Beginning and I just...didn't like it at all and gave the game to a friend. I didn't get another game until SoS: FoMT. Ngl, the strawberry cows sold me. It's a wonder I have yet to play any Stardew Games yet. I guess I just have too many HM games I wanna finish first.
I do plan on buying PoOT at some point, probably this summer when I'll have more time to play it. Still not my favorite graphic style, but I'm really intrigued by the new features.
