(Nurse Fin's) Exciting Animal March: A First Look, Observations about the game Options

[Blah]

I'll Answer as I am so compleatly awesome... Yes you may praise me.

1) You can ride any adult barn animal so long as they are at 5 hearts, and cows are super slow, its shocking how fast everthing else is in comparison.
2) It depeneds how efficent you are, I wasn't too efficent and leveled it up in mid-fall. You need to eather go Phyco in spring and summer planting like mad, or buy a phone and buy seeds of Taylor, even though they are double you can buy any of them without leveling up.
3) BUY IT IMMEDIATLY! It does work very well, but if you do well over the season you get some free, so take this into concideration.
4) It depends how well you do it, I go up normally go up 2 hearts a season when I talk and give gifts every day, But it is very hard to do this in spring.
5) First Rival Event: 0 for Potential Spouce
Second Rival Event: 2 for Potential Spouce
6) If you want to raise it quickly, then it's pie my friend. But if you are a little down on funds and don't have any cooking equipment then:
Roomi: Pink Shells (Beach), Red/Purple herbs (Anywhere), Blueberries (Any where if in season)
Mai: Sea Urchins
These wont do much but they can help the process when you're poor.
7) Nope time carrys on as you lazily fish away.

Wizard Questions:
1) Tam Tam Mushrooms... He Loves the delightful speckly things.
2) Perhaps a tiny bit harder to raise affection, but that is made up for that his favourite gift is something that is free and easy to find.

Hope this helps!

cows are super slow, its shocking how fast everthing else is in comparison.

So...just for curiousity's sake, would you just be faster walking than you would be riding a cow?

[oorin]

Omg you sure did help alot! Thanks !

I have a bunch of other questions too..

1. What is the fastest to ride then?
2. How long did it take you (or, normally) to chime the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th bell? Can you tell the detail like which season which year..
3. When did you get married? Year 1 or year 2?
4. When do I meet wizard? / When will he be unlocked?
5. When can I possibly get rival wedding? Season and year?
6. Is fertilizer 1 bag 1 square? thats rip off :< the price is so expensive ~ And spring year 1 is like POOR.. no money..

Tamtam mushroom is easy find? Thats cool!
I thought you have to explore the darn forest for ages to find it..

I still have alot to ask haha.. Do you mind adding me on msn? So we can talk about WakuAni :D
Thanks~

[Horcrux]

I have one. So wooing might be easier then everyone says if you use the P2 trick.

[Strongbad456]

^ Once you get going it is quiet easy to make friends... I have at least one heart with every Non-Child (Excluding Chloe/Thyme/Pao) And I just talk to some of them.

And Keep the trees on your farm... I kept 3 out of 5 of my Trees and I was still able to become a hero with money to spare if your using blue mist flowers!

I just got rid of my trees (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalacry.gif) . I figure it's best I fill the whole field with the flowers. I need money so I can upgrade my house and tools. Also cows are slow? I've only had a cow so far and I thought it was going pretty fast.

1. Horse is fastest
2. I got the first 4 by summer, but I hadn;t been making friends at all so the 5th bell is taking me forever.
3. I married the wizard Spring of year 2. I couldn't woo him until middle of summer.
4. Go through Tam Tam forest (you have to get Cain to unlock it) and do the cut scene with the witch/frog. Then go to wizard's house. You have to get all of the ingredients to fix the witch before you can woo him, which means you have to complete the blue bell first to get to the island.
5. I haven't gotten any rival weddings yet because I haven't gotten any of the girls past 3 hearts yet. I'm in summer year 2.
6. Gather EVERYTHING and sell it. It's easier to make extra cash. It isn't hard to do well enough to get free fertilizer at the end of the month, so I would recommend waiting until fall to start buying fertilizer.

And you actually do have to search the forest to find it. But it doesn't really take that long.
If you level up the inn, they sell coffee for something like 400G, which the wizard also loves. Or you can grow it and make your own.

I have a question about the forest. Is it seriously a forest? Like, it actually has one of those loading things like the different sections of the town? Because I was really dissapointed when I was playing ToT and I walked up to the "forest." Seriously, I was like, "Oh! Here's the for...est...what the crap?? This isn't a forest!!"

[oorin]

Ahh I am so excited! >_<

So I am going to name myself Aria - アリア
And getting married with Wizard Gale - ゲイル
Will have studious older son Orphas - オルプァス
And a shy younger daughter Lamria - ラムリア

Does that sounds nice?
And yes, I took Rune Factory 2 names.. Cause they're awesome! =w=
And I want to have a 'fantasy' feeling to my family's names..

Second choices:
Myself: Athena - アテナ
Son: Reon - レオン
Daughter: Alice - アリス

If I name myself Aria, my farm will be Neo-Venezia ネオ・ヴェネツィア
But if I name myself Athena, my farm will be Aria アリア

Which to choose?
Help me :<<<<<

But I don't know..

Note: If someone watch anime, I bet they know what I am talking about =w= Aria <3

Easy, make two files. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

No really, I prefer the RF2 set of names myself, but that's all your choice.

Because I was really dissapointed when I was playing ToT and I walked up to the "forest." Seriously, I was like, "Oh! Here's the for...est...what the crap?? This isn't a forest!!"

Yeah, it is a real forest! I know how you feel with ToT. And then it took so long for the three trees to regrow. I was wondering around islands looking for a tree to cut down! I ended up growing about fifty of them on one of my fields.

Yeah, it's like ten or so different loaded areas with about 5 trees in each, and boulders and rocks.

Did anyone notice you have to chop a stump about 12 times, and you only get 1 piece of wood from it?

[oorin]

Wow. Is that from ToT?

If so, I can't really remember.. I stopped playing ToT awhile after marrying Chase..
Got bored.. :<

I just hope getting lumber is easier in EAM

[Strongbad456]

In EAM you have to chop a stump 12 times and you only get 1 piece of wood. You have to chop a grown tree about 24 times but I don't remember how much wood you get. And there are plenty of trees in Tam Tam forest.

[Zen Clarke]

^Ugh, I know what you mean about the lumber. It's so annoying to have to get any! It takes forever for the stupid tree to be completely cut down, and even after you have all the upgrades, it STILL takes forever to cut down a tree! Going up to find that stupid mama bear, where you have to clear your path, nearly killed me. x-x I brought lots of snacks (for myself, not the bear...I didn't know you had to befriend the bear at that time).

[Blah]

Oooo Make sure to win the foraging comp on New Years! It is the best thing ever! You get tonnes of lumber, I have enough to make the Level 3 barn and coop without doing any real work, it rocks!

I have a Physics exam tomorrow, but It's so boring, so I shall waffle about EAM more!

I have had rival weddings (If anyone cares) lol. I got my first in Winter 15 year 1, it just depends who is getting married.

And to people who think the P2 trick is a exelent, it's really not. It is very good for those people who cant be wooed immediatly, like the godess or wizard, and if you constantly use it, it may make a diffrence, but it only has the same effect as talking does and it means its really awquard. Your picking up the wrong remote and dropping them and switching them and it makes you want to tear out my hair.... I just read that over.... Yes you may tear out my hair... Go on! You know you want to.

[oorin]

How do you win the foraging competition? :O

[Blah]

Pick up as much stuff as humanly possible, Its easy and once you get in the habit you don't remember why you're foriging. Just pick up mushrooms and beach stuff and you'll win easy!

Oooo yah and Oorin, I added you on MSN!

[Strongbad456]

Yeah, I'm hoping I'll win. It'd definitely help. Hopefully I can get my axe upgraded soon. I upgraded my water can to silver and I'm extremely happy with it. It's much better to water 9 squares at once than only 3. It'll make growing a field of flowers much easier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif) . Also I got my first pet. I got the beagle to 6 hearts and made it my pet. It was fun taking it for a walk but it got a bit mad when it was off-screen for like 10 seconds. I think he'll just stay at home.

[Zen Clarke]

I think I may just borrow my friend's controller, try the thing once (just so I can see what it looks like, cuz I'm weird like that. x3), then give the controller back. LOL! And to avoid having a need to rip out your hair, Blah, I shall borrow one of her rechargeable ones. Easier to tell the difference. :D

[Strongbad456]

I think I'm too lazy to do the trick. If it had more of an effect I'd use it. Although, I'll probably end up trying it anyway since I'm getting upset that people aren't gaining hearts for me. I give Perin herb tea every day and he's supposed to love that. He's at 1 heart and I've been giving it to him for like 8 or 9 days. I want to hit over and over until he likes me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaevil.gif) .

[Zen Clarke]

I know they're not the same game, but in my guide book for ToT, it has all the bachelor[ette]s and what they like, and under some it even has what they say when you give them something they love, then it has +10. So, if there are 100 points per heart, and you get +10 for giving them a gift everyday, then maybe in a day or two he'll (or she'll? I don't know who Perin is) gain a heart? It's worth a shot waiting another day or two (game wise, of course).
