Reviving the farm or saving the village/goddess? Options

[Indigo Horrible]

Since these days, Harvest Moon games seem to be more focused on saving the whole village or saving the Harvest Goddess, rather than reviving the run-down farm you've taken over, I've been wondering... which do you prefer? Restoring your farm to glory (or surpassing it, we never really know how successful that place used to be), or pulling the village's or Goddess's toosh out of the fire?

I like both. I think I prefer the goal of "restore the rundown farm" more, but having more storyline added doesn't hurt. it's when that storyline is pulling you away from what should be the main take of restoring the farm. in a lot of these games, I'm seeing it change from "bring your grandpa's farm back to it's former glory days" to "here's a farm, have fun."
