Okay, been playing for two whole ingame days now! Thoughts: - The old ladies in the town make some loving creepy sounds - Arrgh why are all items such different qualities, I have like ten of each flower and they're all half a star off and don't loving stack  - Oh god this sidestepping thing is insanely useful, working the fields is almost fun now. I can never go back to other HM games after this - Holy hell, you can pick that suave rich kid as a husband OR his baby brother?  - WHAT THE CRAP TIME PASSES INDOORS WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT Question: how I mine for fish?

Oh my god I just learned that I can own multiple kitties in this game.  I am buying every kitty. I will be a crazy cat lady on my kitty farm.Revol posted:Yeah, I'm picking the latter, Freya. She's a bit easy to play for because butterflies are a +150 FP gift for her, and then once you get good enough to make Superb Cheese, you'll have a +500 FP gift ready. Hahahaha "the Japanese girl sounds incredibly hard", you have never played a HM game before have you.  In previous versions if you wanted to marry the ultimate special girl (Harvest Goddess) you had to a) ship one of every single item including the insanely expensive accessories, b) find all the magic jewels in the horrible 99999 floor mines, c) have every goddamn upgrade... the list goes on forever. The Japanese girl also has no relatives in town, only requirement is giving her 120 gifts, which is not really that many. The Freya girl weirds me out because she has the same name and basic appearance as my younger cousin. I was thinking of marrying the merchant because he's such an rear end in a top hat. Dude basically tells you to gently caress off every time you see him, and apparently once you're married he still runs his stall but doesn't give you a discount or share his profits. e: scroll down this page to get a list of all the poo poo the windmills can make and the stuff they need. http://www.fogu.com/hm9/village/windmills.php

Zenzirouj posted:I decided on Freya the instant I learned that she lives on her own and actually has a career. It's such a step forward for Harvest Moon. Even though I know I'm going to marry her and she'll turn into a dopey, doting housewife since that's what every woman really wants. Right, Natsume? Seriously. I was pretty surprised. She looks like an actual grownup too, as far as this game goes. Actually the previous Island games, while horrible to play, featured NPCs kinda like that. I remember one of the first residents is a young woman with a tiny shy kid who says "Yeah I just divorced my husband and it's affected my daughter so we're taking a holiday here to get her mind off it." You can't marry her and adopt her kid, sadly. But it was kind of surprising for HM. I gave the kid tons of flowers to make her happy.  e: actually the first HM had the girl who ignored you her entire married life, preferring to maintain the hootch still set up in your barn. Your baby just kinda toddled around the equipment. As a girl character I'm gonna marry that Amir dude purely because he's darkskinned (even if he does have blue eyes and white hair). Not terribly progressive but a step upward. I'm also glad the Mexican stereotype store owner came right out and admitted he was a stereotype first time I met him. He's like "Yeah it's a gimmick thing, old-fashioned crap from my home country, I might have gone too far with it though". He was the only real cliche I hated in this game.

Star Guarded posted:So Grand Bazaar is good? I liked Sunshine Islands but so far nothing has come close to Friends of Mineral Town/Harvest Moon 64 for me. My two major problems with the Harvest Moon games I've played in recent years: the translations are so bad that the characters have no personalities, and there's never very many social events involving the characters (or all the events are the same), unlike FOMT/HM64 where unlocking the friendship events and stuff was a fun source of mystery. Wonderful Life had some pretty great characters (mad scientist who kept a mermaid in his basement, giant gay black artist, mentally retarded hobo, cute immortal evil chick, cyborg doctor in underwear, sleeping beauty, pyromaniac dwarf twins). Too bad all the actual games set in that town kinda sucked.  Grand Bazaar is kinda the opposite to me... loads of fun to play, but boring villagers. They seem a little better than the Islands and motherfucking Mineral Town though. PotU posted:Well, it's been out in Japan for a year and a half already so I thought someone might know by now. Fair enough... but no, apparently no Japanese readers have been bothered making proper FAQs. eggrolled posted:I was glad they sorta spun the ridiculous Mexican stereotype merchant that way, but the way his Japanese voice acting is kinda counteracts that in a way.

Star Guarded posted:A Wonderful Life did have great characters, yeah. I could never get past the structure of the game, though. It felt like nothing unique ever happened until you got to a timeskip. If I remember right (holy poo poo it's been six years) it didn't have festivals, either. That's too bad about Grand Bazaar. I think you just helped fight off my Harvest Moon obsession until Twin Villages comes out in a decade. Well I definitely didn't mean to make it sound not-fun. I'm getting more out of this than I did out of previous HMs. I meant that the cast list doesn't have the FMN Valley level of insanity... they're likeable enough, just not hugely interesting. Bear in mind that I hated most of the Mineral Town inhabitants, and was bored brainless by everyone in the Islands games except Gannon I also like how it's kind of Dutch, with the windmills and clothing styles. What a weird decision, but oddly charming.

omg the kitty is adorable.  It sleeps on the roof during the day and can enter/leave the house freely. It also starts with the ability to deal with one chicken per day (carry in and out). Freaked me out the first time kitty just barged in and grabbed a chick in its mouth and took off.One thing they don't loving tell you is that you can only get pet food from the store, and it costs 150g per can. And pets gotta eat every day.Zenzirouj posted:I've been doing the same thing when I have stamina to burn ever since I found out you could get free stuff doing that. The best things I ever got was an ore stone with a copper inside and an urchin one other time.

Then two ore blocks, then an urchin, then a "straight tea" (which failed when I tried cooking it alone so I dunno what its deal is). I'm not so sure the river is simply random. I'm going to start worshiping it. Stuff respawns that way too. I woke up one morning and ran down to get walnuts and there were none. I quit without saving cos someone called, then later I replayed the day and there were two walnuts. Stuff I got from drowning are a straight tea, about one urchin a week, two ores with silver and copper inside, lots of mini medals, and like a billion cans/branches. e: Hey what did everyone else draw on their giant signboard?

In Gamefaqs it says this:quote:Throw the bell near the cat and it will play with the bell. " ! " will show not long after the bell is thrown, which means the cat notices the bell. Then, music symbol will appear. A heart symbol will appear after the the cat had 4 music symbols previously, and the cat will gain a skill point. I also read someplace that you need to put the bell away in your inventory before throwing it again to make it count. With the dog you can just throw the bone over and over each time it's brought back, but the bell you have to retrieve yourself and put away and then take out again with X button. I think you can also just leave the room/screen with it. While looking this stuff up I noticed a thread titled "Antoinette has a huge head". Burst out laughing so hard.

Revol posted:God, I loving hate bringing the cows in and out. I just bought 3 babies, so I now have four of them. I'm thinking I'll just feed them indoors.. it would cost me 490G a week to do so. Felix sells the medium pole in year 2, I'm told. It probably lets you reach the medium sized fish, which sell for about 100G or so at Raul's shop. If you mean upgrading the small pole then I dunno... maybe improves quality? Dogs are in the game to herd your livestock for you, and are buyable after you get 4 cows/sheep. When you buy the doggy I believe it's automatically ready to herd one cow, so that's one less you deal with. Could take a while to train. You can also apparently call them with the handbell. I have one but haven't used it yet, will try later. Pets need pet food from the store, but one food tin lasts a few days. And frankly I'd let Freya wait on the presents until Spring. Winter's not that long, she'll still be there after. And since this is your first winter you probably need the money more than a wife at this stage. Just talk to her each day and you shouldn't lose any FP.

What the poo poo happened to the cow festival? It said COW FESTIVAL IN SQUARE AT NOON so went down to the square at noon, and it was just a normal sunny day. People were milling about and Felix was in his house, and when I talked to him he told me that his house is high up. And the festival didn't happen. Is it because my cow is still a little cow? What, so because I'm unable to enter, the entire festival gets called off?SUPERFINE CONCUBINE posted:I just started playing Grand Bazaar. drat, the characters are ugly as gently caress and all look like children. TV has way nicer sprites. I dunno, I really like having the farmer's market instead of a shipping bin. It makes the act of selling your crops so much more rewarding. And immersive, as far as this goes. Plus removing double-jump and run-toggle just seems cruel and ridiculous. I do like the TV look better than the GB toddlers though.

My main problem with it was that it holds back so much of the game until you have a child. I'm talking about tool upgrades, home upgrades, and the majority of monster hunting lands. Apart from being a far better game in terms of mechanics and system, RF2 has insane characters (and MAX DE SAINT-COQUILLE) and a protagonist I didn't want to punch in the face.

I am in Fall of year 1 and either I am having really bad luck or I am doing something wrong. What am I gonna do with 50+ roasted eggplants now? Wow, I never have trouble selling poo poo. I usually sell everything by 2pm and end up selling stone and crap. You must not be ringing it very often? Or are you just standing in one spot in front of your stand while you ring? You sorta have to ring it near people so they hear, if it attracts their attention they'll get a ! above their head. I find that the best way is to nip back and forth between one side of the stand to the other. Stand on the edge of your stall, right before it asks if you want to pack up and leave, and then just clang that motherfucker. This way you kinda catch people as they're passing up and down either side. Especially on the left, where they wander in and out of the bazaar entrance. The only time I ever stop ringing is to sell poo poo or answer idiot questions. LUCYYY! YOU GOT SOME 'SPLAININ' TO DO! e: Also the customer attention 'resets' each time you move stuff around on your stall, even if they were in the middle of buying something, so you gotta grab them again.

I adore Lloyd for the same reason: dude just don't give no gently caress. Every time I talk to him he's like "Yeah whatever bitch I got poo poo to do".

I see the idea, but Vaughn and similar come across like they actually don't like you most of the time, and why would you want to marry that? Because... it is a game? I think you missed the part where most of us don't take this remotely seriously. It's very difficult for me to think realistically about  what sort of man I should marry when all those 'men' are tiny two-dimensional cartoons and look like babies. I do not go for the most attractive option. I go for the option that would make for the most ridiculous and/or hilarious results.It's also the reason I always marry Rosalind in RF2 (I mean I've only done it twice but whatever). Julia is pretty, and Alicia has hot boobs, and Dorothy is sweet, and Rosalind is totally loving insane and leads to some extremely conversations post-marriage.

Meliv posted:Was playing Grand Bazaar, my first HM in a long while. Make 15k at the bazaar, buy a shitload of cabbage seeds, water then for a week, seasons changes, lose all my crops Exact thing happened to me in the Great Cabbage Disaster of Summer 01, I whined about it a couple of pages back. I ended up restarting too. Not as a boy though, because the options for marriage kinda suck and Freya reminds me far too much of my cousin. Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:A question about pet training, does repeated throws of the bell or bone actually do anything? Or do they only get 'experience' the first time when you see the heart bubble? Nobody actually seemed sure of the answer here, with arguments and poo poo, so here's how it is for kitties (I don't have doggies). (e: apparently I don't know either  )Throw the bell. Kitty gets a heart pretty quickly, which is purely for affection boosting. You may notice that even after hurling your cat daily for a month it still hates you. This is because its affection boosts are spread out over picking up, stethoscope, and this drat bell. So now it's got a love-you heart, that's great, but no skill. The way to get its skill up is to wait until the kitty gets tired of the bell. This can take a LONG TIME. It also doesn't count if the cat accidentally throws the bell into another room. You will grow to hate the bell. So when it stops playing and leaves the bell, it gets a little music note. This is its skill-up notice. I don't know how many times it takes to get a star, it is at least 4 and maybe 5. Getting the music note takes so loving long per bell-play session you might not want to do it more than once a day, but if you do, then apparently (I haven't tried this) you need to either exit the room with the bell or put it back into your backpack to make it 'reset' before you throw it for the cat again.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:That seems contrary to my experiences. I've gotten the cat to level up with an affection (heart symbol) boost, and the music notes play over the cat every time I put the bell in my bag or the bell gets knocked into another room. Does it get skill boosts every time there's the note, or only when there's a note after it's done playing forever? Also this level up was done after I put the bell in my bag when I took it from the cat forcefully, not after it got bored of it. That's weird, even when I experimented I never got this to happen. quote:And another thing, it got the level up animation, and can carry two chickens a day now, but it's training level is still at 0 stars, but its friendship is one heart now.

Is it just me or are the multiple choice reputation dialogues at the bazaar really random and inconsistant? I've been looking over the cheat sheet at fogu and gently caress these are retarded. Half the time it's the same conversation worded slightly differently, but while giving a certain response will sometimes gain you tons of rep, it has the opposite effect half the time. Like "Hey can I have this item free? < No you have to pay" makes your rep drop, while "This item is so cute can I have it? < Only if you pay for it" gives you a big rep boost. Also a guy shows up and says he's the famous comedy duo Ricky And Lucy. The best answer is "Ricky, where's Lucy?" and then you get a rep bonus and an I Love Lucy reference. "Luuuucy! You got some 'splainin' to do!" But if he says the exact same thing phrased in a different way, the best answer (out of the same three choices!) is "We've been expecting you". Revol posted:I am so loving jealous. It gets old fast. While it makes me feel totally to see an Orwell reference on my bigass sign every day, it's really just boring scribbly text.

"Apocadall posted:This is why it is so amazing when people train a cat to do anything other then eat, sleep and poo poo. It's not that the ingame cat is especially hard to train, it's that it seriously makes no sense. Especially the part where it races into the chicken coop, snatches up a baby chick in its slavering maw, then puts the bird safely in the pen. And in order to make it better at doing this, you give the cat a toy that emulates a tiny chirping helpless creature, which the cat will gleefully smack and hurl around the room.

Been looking through the Twin Villages official site, once again I'm reminded I'm far too old for this game by being attracted to characters' parents. Why are that chick with the glasses and the guy with the eyepatch not marriageable? They're way hotter than any HM characters I've seen in... ever. So in every picture I've seen, the girl's been shown with the crops and the boy with the animals. Is this scripted or can you pick both gender and occupation freely? Is the occupation you pick tied to the village you live in? Also can you go hang out in the village you don't live in if you don't feel like talking to the dweebs you live with? And is that white haired dude a marriage option, because he looks even gayer than the guy in full makeup. e: European village marriage candidates http://www.bokumono.com/series/futago/chara/partner.html Japanese village marriage candidates http://www.bokumono.com/series/futago/chara/partner2.html Villagers you totally can't marry http://www.bokumono.com/series/futago/chara/villager.html Gay dude and hippie child http://www.bokumono.com/series/futago/chara/partner3.html Corridor fucked around with this message at 09:51 on Sep 8, 2010 |

Revol posted:It looks to me like Twin Villages might play somewhat similarly to Grand Bazaar (it looks like seeds will be single-patch again), but TV is gonna have at least three times the content. And will have jumping and run toggle removed apparently. I'm so relieved they decided not to make them permanent features, they really are far too innovative and efficient for HM. If we get lucky TV might not even have any intelligent career girls as marriage options. I'm amazed how insanely racist the original Mexican triplet portraits are. I think someone even said their original dialogue is in broken Japanese with horrible accents.

LordSloth posted:Harvest Moon: Corporate Farm will come out in 2013 and you can hire undocumented labor to pick your orchard! How low can you pay them? Have to keep them isolated from the community AND feeling in danger of the authorities! Properly manage your threat levels to keep them satisfied with horrible working conditions, but not so threatened it backfires! You can do this in the GBA Harvest Moon. The sprites avoid all human contact but if you barge into their house and throw enough grass at them, they'll come round and do all your chores for like, nothing. You aren't threatening them with immigration laws, you're bribing them with your affection because they're so lonely that they think slavery is the only way to keep your love. You get to play abusive spouse to a whole tribe of tiny retards and it's awesome. Wandering Knitter posted:Then I played the Rune Factory and God drat it I want to marry the hot Mom that runs the restaurant at the beach! Not to mention the hot mom that runs the weapon shop in RF2. Sure she's insane, but everyone in that game is nuts. Back before I hated the Island games I always spent all my gifts and affection on the pink-haired mother of that pasty girl and the glasses boy. Maybe if her affection is high enough she'll break her scripted dialogue and have an affair with me.

There are like a billion farming-based casual games on PC if that's what you mean. Also Farmville.

CAT TRAINING I threw the bell around for a while, just picking it up and putting it in my pack and then throwing it again. Eventually a tiny LVL UP text appeared above my cat. I checked its stat board and it's gained... a heart?  I did it some more and when it next got the LVL UP sign, it had gained a star. So now it has one heart and one star and it takes care of two chickens. I do not understand how this works.e: make that three chickens. Well that was fast. Oh and my 4-heart cow won the Cow Festival on its first try in my first year despite the other cows having better stats. It promptly gained another 3 hearts, netted me a Mithril, and pushed Angelo up into purple heart. I attribute it all to my inspirational signboard. Animal Farm prevails!

Hey I just hoiked some adamantite out of a river rock. Is it super rare or something? Like, should I be saving it or can I sell it off?

Man, getting the pot and frying pan is like buying a money printer. I can turn all my corn, tomatoes and pumpkins (which already kinda sell for a lot) into single-ingredient dishes that sell for fuckloads. I can probably do the same with my eggs but I keep forgetting to check. The last two bazaars I've made like 60 000G. I'm still in my first Summer.  Are there any cooking or windmill recipes to avoid, cashwise? Someone said boiled eggs make the egg worth less somehow, and puddings (egg + milk) also seem to end up worth less than the egg and the milk sold seperately. Oh yeah yesterday morning ingame my cow suddenly produced a huge gold milk after giving small milks forever (it is at 8 hearts). It was kinda funny because it was the same day I bought a new baby cow, so it was like OHFUCK I'M BEING REPLACED BETTER WORK HARDER. But the next day it was back to small milks. Apparently the shock of seeing another cow made it poo poo out a gold milk somehow. What gives, cow? SUPERFINE CONCUBINE posted:Isn't the recipe for the watering can stone lumber + watering can + orichalcum? I should know; I've upgraded mine like 4 times. I think adamantite is only used for jewellery. I thought this too but wanted to check... quote:Has anyone else seen Dirk's yellow heart event? The whole time I was
