I think that's everything relevant... feel free to add anything I may've missed. Anyway, usually we have a similar topic when everyone's beginning to play a new game. s'fun to talk about experiences and have a place for quick questions to ask other players. Right now, I don't have too many people in town. After Neil showed up to give me my first cow, Iroha showed up a few days later. Hopefully since I have a blacksmith now I can start getting some actual work done instead of just gathering/farming stuff...

Alrighty. Well, I am much happier with this file. I got my farm situated exactly the way I wanted it from the very first day I could arrange things, built Tina's house that same night, befriended both Emma and Iroha, obtained all of the tool blueprints, and built all of the things necessary for TRP#1. As soon as Summer 1st hits, I'll place them and complete it immediately so that I can start building for TRP#2. I already have pretty much everything I need for that anyway - the only thing that will take some time (not much) is shipping 10 Honey. Then it'll be another well-planned hoarding fest until Fall 4th, when I can participate in the Cow Festival.

They're trying to extend my play, I believe, but that isn't going to hold me back much. Right now, I'm thinking that I'll be done with the construction for all five Town Renovation Plans by Summer of Year 2 at the very latest. The only things left will be to participate in/win certain festivals and earn a certain amount of money.

It was definitely worth it to start over. This game is a lot more fun when you're prepared. =w=

EDIT: Okay, so... this is the second time I've noticed a mistake on Cherubae's ANB guide, but... not only does Rebecca sell Copper, the actual final requirement to complete TRP#2 is to make a cow festival possible. So, all you have to have is an adult cow. ....Which you got for free in Spring. Woo. .....Now on to Town Restoration Plan #3 early. \o/

That said, it's entirely possible that you did actually have to compete in the Japanese version of the game. But, fortunately for me, not in the English version.
