HMFGP 2, Harvest Moon Funktastic Gameplay! Options

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

This was successful enough last year, so why not do it again? Summer is beginning again, and with it will be coming a multitude of free time and potentially another Harvest Moon game! Unfortunately, we already know how the wait for those goes, so why not kick back and play some of our old favorites? This isn't going to be limited to any particular game(s), just pick and choose your favorite one(s) and play along with everyone else.

I would get the ball rolling, like it would make sense to, but... I sorta didn't even think about this until I realized today was June 1st. Maybe I'll go with '64... or finally get around to looking at the stuff for GBC2. Hmm...

Well... I started a new file on Save the Homeland, starting from scratch, and tried to see what ending I would get. Here's my experience, written in a random, almost unreadable form:

I originally planned to give NO GIFTS at all, except for what was needed to complete a scenario. That lasted, oh...until about midway through Spring.

I decided to go for the "Cake Contest" ending, since I needed to get a cow and chicken anyway. I bought a chicken and then later mentally kicked myself when I remembered that I could by an egg from Ronald, incubate it, and get a chicken that way. Oh well. Next time.

Too bad you can't buy the cow seed from Bob, plant it, and get a cow. Anyway...

I randomly decided that I wanted to make the Moon Drop Dew (or whatever that's called) with Dia, since she's ridiculously easy to befriend (as long as you have enough blueberries). So I did that. I also ended up triggering the "Treasure Hunt" ending (and, well... I think I triggered the first events for EVERY ending. XD)

I searched and searched for power berries, and managed to find one fishing and also found the one in my pasture. However, I never could find the stupid power berry in my field. Blasted thing.

I choked on Katie's horrible cakes, saw Louis stalking Lyla and Parsley when they came to my farm to talk about the Blue Mist Seed, and got the book that lists the recipe for Moon Drop Dew. I made it with Dia on Spring 29th. My chicken shortly thereafter laid its first golden egg. Whee!

But... I ended up getting the "Treasure Hunt II" ending because my cow was too slow to give golden milk. Oh well. It's a fun ending. ^^ And very cute.

Then I restarted my file, and still had the same animals and crops and all, but everyone in town seemed to have amnesia, since they suddenly had no idea who I was. Oh well. Time to start again.

Or, rather, I think I may start a new file on Tree of Tranquility and play that. XD

But... I have a few STH videos. They're in Japanese, but I added notes in English:

Tim Finds a Treasure Map!
Dia Finds the Sacred Land
The Golden Potato
Man, I love Parsley's goofy expression when he's happy. It's so bizarre.

Oh, and Hasfusel: Sounds like the guy in your games leads a very interesting life. The villagers must absolutely love him.
