Nurse Fin's Welcome to the Wind Bazaar, Observations and first impressions Options

[Nurse Fin]

I don't have the game just yet (grr, gotta wait 'til Christmas...), but other people do. As of today it is available in all game stores across Japan.

Here are some things I have noticed through the wiki:

- Crop system is similar to IoH and SSaF (darn...)
- Most actions are done with the B button now. The A button is strictly for jumping. The "menu" will only display your rucksack; there are no earnings/relationship/status charts on hand (all charts are accessible through the bookshelf).
- For other controls, pressing the L button(?) will toggle walking/running, and the R button will open up a tool selection window.
- Schmidt and Kagetsu are marriage candidates. It is unknown whether there are two more, but it seems unlikely.
- Most of the townspeople are already available, with the exceptions of Schmidt, Kagetsu, and 4 other mystery villagers. The methods to unlock them are currently unknown.
- The save system is like the old HM games. When you start a new game, you pick the slot you want to use (2 total). You can only save when you go to sleep. You cannot make duplicate/backup files (my guess is that it was implemented because of the Wi-Fi...).
- Everything is in real-time. Time doesn't stop indoors (not even in your house), or when you open menus. So far there's no way to pause the game (except closing the DS), so I guess it's something to watch out for.

-Jumping into the water will drop your stamina, but sometimes you can find items in there. Like money, medals, stones...

Obviously I'll have a lot more info once I can try this game for myself. But that's what I've gathered this evening. ^^'

Junk ores actually sell for 200G ^^'

Anyway, that's what I do, but even then it only takes up like, 1 hour at most... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

My daily routine is
1) Take care of animals (this takes the longest)
2) Water crops
3) Talk to random people
4) Jump in the river until stamina runs dry
5) Recharge Guts meter
6) Jump in the river until stamina runs dry again
7) Save and sleep

I think selling stuff at the bazaar is fun though. I like it when people come to talk... too bad the conversations with the bachelors and bachelorettes doesn't seem to raise their LP much.
