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. ^^'


Rival Couples so far:
Juris & Freiya
Agi & Anemone
Lloyd & Shelfer

Finally got Schmidt to a purple heart, and I'm able to meet Kagetsu (haven't done it yet, am about to)

One thing I noticed is that I have not been able to activate a single rival event so far; I just started Year 2. And all the source guides I'm looking at have conflicting info and little-to-no specifics about the triggers. D:

O_o

Are you breezing through the game or something? YEAR 2 AND YOU HAVE NOT SEEN ANY RIVAL EVENTS?!

It takes me around an hour to do TWO DAYS for me. I'm t the end of Autumn Y1 and I pretty much have my Windmill level maxed, seen a LOT of events (rival ones too), and there is NO WAY I could have reached Y2 without getting any of that done.

I found Dirka and Enju's first event VERY EASY to get.

Try this.

I'm not sure if this affects anything, but I got Enju's gray heart event the day before I got this one (so you may have to get Dirka's if your character is female).

Anyways.

3:30pm. On the town square, exit on the BOTTOM left. You will see their event (which is Enju hopping down the mini cliff things and then "getting hurt". Dirka goes to see if she's ok, she's fine and leaves).

Actually...almost every event I have had took place around 3-4pm.

I just tried doing exactly that for 3 days in a row and it won't activate... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalacry.gif)
