Though leagues better than modern harvest moon, Story of Seasons has gotten steadily worse with every new entry. This one has no sense of progression - it's too easy to make 1 million g in the first spring via Huang/horse races, and then all other unlockables are just time gated. The in game clock is also much too fast (though this is personal opinion), and there are no options to properly remap controls inside menus or speed up the (extremely repetitive) dialogue. The abilities to save at any time and marry any gender are some of the only improvements. This series desperately needs to take some cues back from stardew valley.
