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

[LadyKartoffel]

I'm not sure I understand your question.

[Zen Clarke]

I believe she is saying: I heard there's actual kissing in this game? How is it "actual" because there was kissing in ToT? I guess maybe their faces actually touch, unlike in ToT where there was a large gap and hearts, and then blushing. >->

[Oscar]

I hope this game is released in September, but it's unlikely. I wont give up hope though! :D

[Zen Clarke]

Same here. Keep the faith!!! :D

[Marley]

The videos show kissing being much more realistic in this game. Their faces actually touch and the kissing sound effect is much better (then again, that's not difficult; the sound effects in ToT sound like they were recorded in a toilet).
Nurse Fin also has a video in which Kanon and Juli hug that looks surprisingly nice. The snow looks lovely, too. Graphics are just all-around better in this game.

I hope it comes out on time here. Natsume really needs to get their act together. :/

Wow. Ah, the snow looks really cool. They look like real snowflakes...I wonder if each one looks different...>-> That'd be both very awesome and detailed, and slightly creepy that they took that much time over every snowflake on the game. Wow, now I'm rambling. xP

[furby]

Yeah they are cool I wish people would take the time just for us to translate it.

[Zen Clarke]

Ah, that reminds me. Ok, so you know how it seems like the longer it takes Natsume to translate Harvest Moon the more glitches/typos/ect. it has? Well, do you think if they were to translate it on time just this once, it'd have no typos and be perfectly glitch-free? I think that'd be both funny, and ironic.

Oh wouldn't it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

And it'll happen the day the planets align, pigs fly, and I find that missing tube sock I lost before I started getting addicted to this franchise in the first place. x_x
With Harvest Moon 64, which, might I add, credited "Natume" on the title screen. Yeah, Natsume and typos are like... conjoined at the head.

Stranger things have happened. And don't be so unsure of that whole "pigs fly" thing. I heard someone say something about how Obama would become president when pigs fly. Within his first hundred days, the swine flu was airborn. >-> True story.

[Oscar]

As long as the biggest glitch the game has, is some typo, I'm happy. Not something HUGE like someone you can marry is instead unmarriable. If that's a word! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[Zen Clarke]

Yeah. A typo or grammer thing. But it bugs me when people's sentences get cut off. They do that with one scene in ToT, and then I know on AWL, when you're married to Muffy, sometimes if you talk to her she'll say some tiny piece of a sentence, and then it goes away without you clicking the A button or anything. >-<

[furby]

Hum hum hum waits for eam to come out natsume takes to friggin long.

[Oscar]

Ahh AWL, those were the days...
I really feel AWL had a really nice feel and mood to it, that no other HM game has really been able to remake. ToT came close, but not close enough.
I hope EAM has that mood and feel again...

[furby]

Yeah the happy feel even the name has a ring to it.

Har har.
My school almost got closed for that stupid thing, before they realized how minor it was. They almost shut down the district, even.

Typos sorta bug me, but not as much as huge, gigantic, gaping glitches like the Calvin Glitch.
I'm almost shocked they got away with not fixing it for as long as they did. I mean, imagine what would happen if they screwed up and made Chase unmarriable. Heck, if that had happened, they'd probably be overthrown by legions upon legions of angry fangirls.
...
On second thought, that might not have been so bad.

AWL did have a calming, happy sort of feel to it, but I could never get past the second chapter. x_x The gameplay mechanics made it unplayable for me, and for some reason, if I tried to make my character go in a certain direction, he'd end up going unusually slowly. That bugged the living daylights out of me. And it moved uncannily slowly.
I hope that I don't find EAM too slow. o_o I like the games a bit more fast-paced. As long as there's enough to do, though (which it certainly seems like there will be!) then it should be fine.

No one in our area even go it. T-T Not fair. But yeah. A lot of my friends and I were laughing about it. They REALLY overreacted.

Heh...heh, heh...can't you just imagine the Natsume company going:

AWL was ok, but there were some things that bugged me. Like Marley, I never got past the second chapter. Also, I think I gave the wrong answer at the end of the first chapter, so that instead of being a musician, my child was art crazed. >-< And the weather report was off a lot, it would start raining in the middle of the day (that bugged me because I'd think it would be sunshine that day, and be across town, and have to jump on my horse and race to get my cows inside). And the sci-fi show really made me mad (I dunno, it was just me, maybe) because they blew up the planet after they left. >-< Maybe I've watched too much Doctor Who where they teach NOT to do that...Anyway, it was an ok game, but not one of my favorites.

[Skarlet Fantasy]

lol, run, the fangirls are coming!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/emot-kraken.gif)

I never got past the second chapter in AWL either...... :l
It's really fun, and I like it, but there's just nothing to do after you finish the first year... just... farm... but I would really like my son to grow up....
the thing that probably bugged me the most was that you need an alarm clock if you want to wake up on time (or go to bed early)
the Van scenes were hilarious (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

I loved AWL. It was a great game and it was the first game I ever imported. It did get boring after awhile though. In the Japanese version, I got to like the 3rd chapter but I stopped playing that and started playing the English version. In that one, I think I beat it once but the game just gets so boring toward the end. Another Wonderful Life was much better because it made each chapter a year long. That made them much easier to get through.

Plus, it added the ability to see what your kid was good at. I was thankful for that. I married Muffy(MuuMuu) in the Japanese version and Celia in the English version. I believe I also tried marrying Nami but I didn't get far in that file. And in Another Wonderful Life, I married Rock(the blond guy from the Inn).

[Zen Clarke]

That's something that bugs me about AAWL. The guys really aren't that attractive. But my friend said that if she ever played that one, she'd marry Gustafa because it sounded like Musafa and name her kid Simba. xP I think those are the right names? I know Simba is, but the other two...>-> xP Oh well. But yeah, the time really should've been only a year for each chapter.
