I just started playing it and have found it alot more tolerable then SI/IoH.

The fact that you can do a double jump in this game makes it infinitely better to me for some reason.

you don't seem to need wood or stone to build (I didn't need anything but money to expand my storage, at least)

edit: Dumb question, how do I talk to my chickens? I can pick them up and get the bonus for that, but I can't figure out how to talk to them, so they end up pretty stressed out sometimes.

Edit 2: Well, I'm not completely screwed for the next bazaar at least. The mayor gives you a fishing rod on the first day of summer (though I had to go in and out of my house a couple times to trigger it). Guess I'll try cooking every fish I find to see if any are simple recipes.

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:

edit2: Let's figure out what fish you can catch with the basic rod can be cooked into simple one-item dishes!

YES: Dark Chub, Sweetfish
NO: Silver Goby, Crucian Carp, Bitterling

Corridor posted:

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.

This is true. The quality of the ore apparently has nothing to do with it. With two upgrades you can water 3 squares at once. WOW! Totally worth like 15,000g

What, the storm? And going outside? It no event, but it can be mistaken for a hurricane, which usually doesn't let you outside. I'm just saying, don't assume you can't go outside.

To make grass seeds you combine fodder and fertilizer in the grinding windmill.

While on the subject of windmills, does anybody know why there are a few windmill recipes at the bottom of every list that are just question marks? When I look at the master list of recipes in my house I can see them, but they're not options when I'm actually at the windmill. Hopefully when I actually have the items used in those recipes they'll work again, but I'd like to know now if it's a glitch.

I just started Spring year 2, so we could trade, though you'll have to wait for the Wheat seeds, I just had a bazaar.


_{Also where do I find my friend code? I feel so dumb}

I tend to sign into different access points, will my friend code change each time?

SapphireC posted:

Do any of you guys do the make your own seed thing? I just got the last windmill unlocked, but I hate the idea of having to basically carry the seeds around til I can use them again. I imagine that is another factor in trying to grow perfect crops, but I don't know how much it affects what they sell for.

Eh, I've given up on wheat. It only seems worthwhile if you're a completest and want to fill out your cookbook. I don't think anything you cook can sell for high enough to make up for the fact that the plots you're using on wheat are used for fifty loving days.

Sorry just felt like throwing a Discworld reference.

I don't think anyone thinks it isn't creepy, and it's always really similar between games, so you know that it's going to sound like!

On the Sheep Chat, I accidentally left one out one night, and it was the first time I left any of them out, and the little jerk got sick! Do I lose FP if I let one die? I have 2, and I figure when the newer sheep come in, I'll be upgrading. Not having animal sales in this is probably the only major problem I have.

Anyways, I just wanted to say I've completely updated the preservation on my storage, and then skipped a bazaar day. I'm up to 75% on Bazaar and I easily cleared to the 1st position. I seriously love this game, it's a bit more involving than usual, and if Twin Village is anything like it, or even if it's different and awesome in it's own way, I can say these are my new favorites!

And it's still another 760 some hours on herb perfume

Don't forget that you can jump to cover more area with the watering can/hoe, but make sure you're in those lanes between crops or you'll damage your own crops like a shameful farmer

Corridor posted:

I dunno if I'm the only one currently playing this or what (8th Winter first year, just picked it up again after a hiatus). But I was wondering if anyone else got this. The cat has lately started running up to my character and meowing while throwing up a [!]. It does this every single time they cross paths. It's fed, I already threw it and poked it with the stethoscope, I let it play with the bell, what does it WANT. Is it just a thing it does once it gets to a certain friendship level? I'm pretty sure it didn't level up recently or anything.

I just started Bazaar (first week) and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of...uh, anything to do so far aside from growing turnips. Am I missing something or have I just not been introduced to content yet? Should I just be going to bed two hours after waking up?

So, I'm a little insane, and I ended up making a ridiculous addition to the Fugu HM Spreadsheet - profitability checks!

: ( Way too much work for little to no reward, but it's handy. The upper left contains a search box that will highlight any recipe that uses the word.

For all I know, the bazaar might advance even without you ever making the goal, but by simply participating and going to the recap the next day.

I have the sickle, but not the hammer.
As for animals, I have five chickens, one cat, but no bell or anything.

I maintain that the farming is the best in the whole harvest moon series since everything in general goes faster, you can pick up 9 of a kind of item before having to hit Y to put it in your bag, you can throw into the shipping bin from a distance, the touch screen controls are mostly flawless, etc. Unfortunately for pure farming enthusiasts, though, you need to beat the first dungeon to unlock upgrades; and you need to grind up your crafting skill a LOT to get to the second upgrades onward.

And why not? The hero barges into everybody's homes at any time, day or night. In a sleepy village where nobody locks the doors, they ended up having to because of the new guy in town.
