Harvest Moon / Story of Seasons

You can trade items online? That's a pretty awesome feature, actually. I remember the 3rd game on Game Boy had that (only, you know, in person), 'cept it was kind of irritating since you had to do it for 100% completion. Or even to get decent returns on anything but your character's designated moneymaker (animals for girls, crops for boys).

I got a 3-Star Silkie Egg the other day on Multiplayer and recently hatched it. If it grows up in time, I'll have a chicken that can easily steamroll the Beginner Class Chicken Festival.

Birthday dinner with Tina was nice.

Yeah, I guess in that game, you actually go through a dating stage where you're together but not together? Interesting.

There's an interesting assortment of bachelors and bachelorettes in this game. I kind of like the looks of Sanjay. If I went for him in that game, he would also be only the second non-scientist, non-Meganekun in my rather large harem. Although one of the inducties in that harem is only honorary, since I still haven't played Sunshine Islands in depth yet.

Yeah, basically you have to "go steady" for a period of time before you can get married.

Yeah, currently going after Tina.

I'm on a horse.

Rod and his pet shop have come to town and I am never walking anywhere again. I also unlocked the mine. Now the fun really begins...

Are Yuri and Allen siblings? Ok no but man they look like brothers...

Hahaha! I won the Advanced Cooking Festival my first time around! My money problems are over! I literally just sell tons of 5-star pudding and rake in the dough daily.

I am so glad festival prizes were implimented.

So, who's occasionally run into a decent random gift on multi-player? I got my first Silkie Chicken that way by incubating an egg I received, and I got a 5-star Apple which I then proceeded to turn into a seed. I should have high quality apples right off the bat by the time Fall Year 2 hits.

I've decided to make A New Beginning my next major 3DS purchase, and am now sizing up the bachelors like dogs at a show.

I kinda like the looks of Sanjay; he looks like a sweetheart. But that crazy guy in a kimono is a journalist, and there haven't been many fellow writers for me to stalk in the series before. Hmmm...

I can't help but have feelings for Felicity... Maybe cause she's a Maya expy?

Really, HM characters really only come in a couple different template flavors; it's just sort of a matter of what design they stick to that template each game. XD Actually, one of the reasons I rather dig DS Cute, despite its detractors, is that the bachelors are all so atypical and that makes them much more interesting in my mind. And there's always Mineral Town men for those who play it safe. You don't even need a More Friends cartridge to unlock perenial favorite Kai!

Meh, didn't like the 3DS game that much. I'm going back to the Two Towns. I still got Hiro to woo!

I don't have a DS, so I never got a chance to play Two Towns. If it ever comes out for 3ds and I have the money, I'd like to give it a try.

It did actually get released simultaneously for the 3DS. You might be able to find a copy somewhere.

Isn't the 3DS version of Two Towns a buggy mess, though? From all reports that I've heard, you're better off with the original DS version.

Original DS version Two Towns is the way to go; the 3DS port is a mess.

Do it for the alpacas.

You do know that the 3DS can play original DS games, right?

Witch princess is who im goinig for when i get the game

I got A New Beginning recently! I'm currently midway through Renovation 2. I would probably be done... if I remembered to stockpile enough Honeycomb. It is now mid-summer and I have not enough to build any Beehives to make Honey. Adurrr.

Congrads on getting the game! I have honeycomb to spare if you want to do a trade.

So how do I get the mine open?

Here you go!
