Marvelous has released Version 1.0.4 for Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, addressing several player-reported issues to improve stability and gameplay flow. The update introduces a welcome reduction to stamina drain when falling into water, allowing players to explore with less penalty.
Alongside this adjustment, the patch resolves multiple frustrating bugs, including invisible NPCs, crashes when moving animals, and glitches during pet training. Additional fixes prevent progress blockers caused by stamina depletion while holding items, ensuring a smoother farming and market experience in Zephyr Town.
