Starting Suggestions Options

[Saffy]

I should be getting my copy either Tuesday or Wednesday, so tell me some things I should look out for at the start of the game :) For instance, when I played Lost in Blue I had to restart my game probably 3 times before I hadn't gotten myself screwed. I assume the game is a lot like Harvest Moon, but what should I know about entering the caves?

It is impossible to enter the first cave, on your first day. Mist will give you your first two packs of seeds for free, the first pack on the first day, and the second pack on the second day. You have to fight a monster on your first day, and protect Mist. The monster appears on your farm while Mist is telling you some stuff, you fight it with your hoe, and then Mist talks about how it got there. Then she leaves and says she'll be back the following day at noon. You're free to do whatever you want the rest of the day, but beware it is a holiday, so most places are closed.

Everyweek there is a holiday, it is the day between Friday and Monday. There are strangely on six days in a week on this game...
