So the limiting factor in monsters is the number of monster hut spaces you have? You can always tame one if you have enough time and endurance?

So! We've got monsters now. I imagine next time we'll find out what they can do for us, which will probably be wildly disproportionate to the amount of time and effort it takes to improve them.

Yeah, pretty much no review site ever, like, recalibrates its reviews from 10 years out or whatever. At the time, the potential of Harvest Moon that tied into a more conventional fantasy adventure was worth forgiving the faults.
