Day One Options

[Saffy]

When you first start a Harvest Moon game, what do you normally do? It doesn't have to be just the first day, but maybe even the first week or season. What are your goals?

My first priority is usually to clear land and start getting a few patches of crops growing (usually 2). I'll forage to get some sort of an income. Throughout the week I'll try to have talked to everyone, with all of their first scenes being done within the first day or two.

Eh, I seem to do the same as a lot of people. First day I try to meet most of the people (well, in AWL, you're kind of forced to), clear fields, etc. My first season is spent trying to earn as much gold as possible, and hopefully have a few chickens and if I've made a lot of money, a cow and/or sheep. I don't usually try too much with my marriage options until maybe mid-summer, because I'm greedy and want the money first (then I realise I don't need so much money and try to get a girl/boy--like in Rune Factory, after I started getting a little money, the money just came flowing in and I had way too much--several hundred thousand by the end of the first year, after getting the expansion and everything I could buy for the house, blah blah blah. Who needs that much, I ask you?)
