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

I'm almost at the point where I want to be done with the game (1 week until Y3).

I've got most things maxed out, Bazaar at 75% for 2 seasons (probably will be 100 after 1 or 2 more), most items in the game.

Here' the thing.

I STILL CAN'T GET MARRIED. WHY DID THEY MAKE IT SO HARD?!

To get married in this game, you HAVE to see EVERY HEART EVENT CUTSCENE. I am 2 behind because the one I need is this.

Go to Shelfer's house on a Sunday that is after a Bazaar but not a holiday (that's about only 4 days out of a whole year). Felix has to have 3 or 4 hearts. >_<; He only has 2 in mine, so besides just upping his hearts, I need to hit the exact date for ONE CUTSCENE so I can get more. SHE HAS 7 HEARTS BUT I NEED TO GET 4 MORE CUTSCENES.
