Harvest Moon: Back to Nature
Link | by Rukia on 2005-11-02 08:31:04 (edited 2006-03-08 10:27:30)
First I played the game, I really thought it was more like of Threads of Fate, Guardian's Crusade, etc; opened the toolbox, wondered that those hammer, sickle, hoe, axe, watering can?? were his selection of weapons. XD Later did I find out that it's actually FarmWork! I didn't notice the 'harvest' part in the title.

Anyways, I had my eyes set on Ann in my first game. It's because I somewhat see myself in her; more of a tomboy, loves animals, loves to cook (Umm... I don't cook much), too cute and gullible, and sometimes... reckless. (She always burns her hand.)

The second game, I had Mary. And just like me as well, she likes reading books, staying in libraries, having weird preferences for blue/green grasses and poisonous mushrooms which all the other girls dislike so much.

Karen first time through, Elli second time through, and Pouporri (did I spell that right) third time through.

It's simply Popuri. You know how mostly Japanese spell out names as how they would pronounce them.

And yeah, I was also thinking of marrying them all. You can have only one save file where you are really eligible into marriage and have the necessary preparations, then just make 5 more files for the five girls: Ann, Marry, Karen, Elli, and Popuri. Do not overwrite the original.

I wasn't able to finish the game cause, man, the game is so time killing...I just can't sit back and play games all month long...My parents are going to kill me for the electric bill and I needed to study and study (sighs) -_-
Anyway, I really loved the game even though it took a lot of time for me...I can still remember, my first girl was Elli because she's a very soft and cute girl. I actually I got to the part when I married her. And my second was Karen, the cool and mature type of person. I think sometimes she acts so cool and confident at times but she's still a girl and she just probably wants to be loved like any other girls... but you know what I was thinking on courting Ann as well but we did go out but I still preferred Karen.
Harvest Moon...Brings back the memories...(sighs) -_-

^_^v PEACE OUT!

Aye, strangely fun indeed. I'm already in my 5th month, Summer! My favorite season because you reap rich pineapples that boost your money so damn fast! I think my money is from around 2M (G).

With the large farm I'm having, I almost consume half an hour just for a day! Eh, when I plant, I make sure that everything in the fields is full of crops! =D Inside my ref, I have already stored as many as 99x of every crops there is to gain in the game; 99 fish, 999 fodder & chicken feed... in these days, all you need to think of is how to spend your overwhelming wealth! Though I still regard Zack as the wealthiest, well he can just buy any amount of pineapples that you would throw in the bin!

BLEH! =P
I'm still playing it up to now! I'm in my... umm. 7th year? XD
If I have the time, I just clean the farm, not to mention the crops on the soil, then just harvest everything that're ready to be shipped. Oh yeah, and the cows and sheep. =)

Hmmm... a lot of weird things do happen in the game, let's see. To enumerate some, I'll have to start with your HOUSE.

Point 1
He wakes up with a food, his breakfast actually. Now, where does he get that? Considering that in the first game, he didn't have a ref or food storage. And it's free! Now, saving money from the start is hard and frustrating that you'd wish he shouldn't have eaten that piece of food, and instead, he should've throw it in the bin for profit! XD

Point 2
Ummm... where does he do his habitual "thingies"? XD You know... uhh, it's not like he'll do those in the public bath, now would he? And even if you have had your 2nd house extension, there's still no proper place for those! Wow, so in those times, bathrooms were not that necessary at all! Hahaha...

Point 3
How come you can't eat the stuff that your wife prepares when there's a special occasion?

Point 4
Let's say you've almost worked all day, starting as early as 6am (usually), but you didn't get tired at all, you just did all the tasks. But then it's already 5-10 mins before 6am! You'll be needing a good sleep. Now, if you go into bed, you'll wake up as early as 6am too! That'll be 5-10 mins of sleep all for working all day long! Compare that to sleeping by 6pm, but really exhausted, to the point that he'll collapse. You'll end up waking by 10am/ 12nn, even though it's 12 hrs of sleep!

Let's move outside...
Animals
(1) They grow fast, but then let's say you've reached 5th-10th years... any changes? They don't age at all! They remain as healthy and as fat and as cute as new! ^_^

(2) When you milk a cow, press X into the apple tree beside your house, you get free container/bottle to fill in the liquid.

(3) Place your animals outside in bad weathers, they won't die (fortunately), though the hearts would somehow decrease, but still they wouldn't die even if we're talking about HURRICANES/SNOWSTORMS!

(4) Villagers don't grow. EVEN YOU! Say you got married, got a child and so on. For a couple of years, your baby can now walk. Look at Stu and May, they're same as old. I don't even think that Ellen (Elli's grandma) will die if the baby turns 10 or so.

Pond
This one's pretty funny. In winter, you can't feed your fish because the water has frozen. By spring, it goes back and the fish are still alive, big and intact. Put one in the freezer, then allow it to remain there for a week/month. Put it out and return it to the fish pond, it's A-L-I-V-E!!! (Well, you can say there's the principle of cryonics... but then an ordinary refrigerator could not make it possible! LMAO )

Mining Sites
(1) How is it that there's a very unusual mine over the lake and winter's lake? Who constructed those ladders leading to the bottom?

(2) Ores: bronze, silver, gold; Mystriles, orichalcums, adamantites are so damn cheap!!!! If you compare the prices to the price of a corn/potato... My my... now that's totally weird!

Ok, I think I need to take a break and recall every weird stuff since I haven't played the game for a year. Now, if you know else more, please do share. 'CAUSE THEY'RE HELLA FUNNY!!! Well, this is not to diss the game, actually you can excuse them for it's cuteness overcomes everything!

I like this game a little because this game is a time killer. True, the characters, animals and the environment are cute but the gameplay is so slow.

If the character is inside the house or barn, the speed is fast. It turns slow again when going out the barn.

VICTORY goes to the only one who is the bravest!
If you are not brave, you will lose but you still have the courage in your heart!-->
