A look inside, Rack's first observations of playing AP Options

[Rack]

Hello! Let's get down to business!


Let's talk about: Your farm!

You start out with a little house, coop, and barn. You have a starting field with Tulips, Potatoes, and Lettuce growing. Even some Turnips ready to be harvested. To the east side of your field, you have six or so Cherry growing trees.

After Cain drops you off, Hamilton will show up. He gives you some books, and your watering can plus hoe. Now you can water and plant! To boot, a bag of nine turnips! Nice!

After exploring some, you'll find some mushrooms and assorted fruits/ herbs growing. Pick them for some early profit!

Speaking of your farm, you have a whole new set of controls to master! Unlike ToT where the camera was usually flat, it angles every which way, making watering and tilling no easy task. Not to fear, for the Z button is here! Press the Z button on your field to center in a way. This make watering and tilling much easier to control, but you move around painfully slow. Luckily, time seems to pause, giving you all the work time in the world! (Time also freezes indoors and when taking pictures with your camera)

Be sure to plant more turnips at the beginning, and if you happen to get your first cow on Day 1, be sure to buy extra fodder. Or go to Marimba Farm and buy grass seeds. Unlike ToT, you have to grow your own grass, just like in FoMT.
I'm not sure for what you do with chicken feed, but we'll worry about that later.

Money is easy to make. Foraging makes quick cash, and if you devil into the mines, getting some wonderfuls are a snap!
You start the game off with 1k in gold. Your farm looks free, but its really 5k! Don't worry, Natsume has borrowed this from Animal Crossing. You don't have to pay off your land that very moment. Take as much time as you need to make that much money, and pay it to Hamilton at the Town Hall.

Next time: The Town

Yea you can start any bell whenever you want provided you have access to the area where the frame is found. I'm doing Alan's bell quest right now along with the green bell.

I would be finished with Alan's but it seems that gold ore doesn't exist in my game. I havn't one gold ore and I've gone to the mines 2 days straight.
