  • The name started as “bo ba”, the Chinese name for the tapioca pearls, and the west turned it into “bubble”. No idea what the original Chinese means, could just be bubble.

    The original chinese name before i was introduced to the english name is 珍珠奶茶(zhen zhu nai cha), literally translated as pearl milk tea. That’s around mid 2000s. Not sure which come first though, bubble or boba.

It also released in a period where the direct competitor basically run the genre to the ground and drag it for kilometres, the timing is just right that people remember they actually like cozy farming sim like Harvest Moon. There is no other choice before Stardew, other than Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons, one is only a shell of its former glory, and the other one is locked behind a console.
