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

[Syvle]

^ Why didn't they program it so you found out thier hated gifts at 2 or 3 hearts... I think by the time you've reached 7 you already have a perfect Idea about their likes and dislikes...

Aah, maybe they want to make it feel more personal and you need to be a real good friend with them first before they'll tell you what they hate,
since there are people like Gill who hates pepper (which typically identified with childish attitude) might feel embarassed to tell it unless you're close with him, esp considering his personality


And some are not just talk about hated items, like God who hates things which wakes him up from his sleep when or Wizard who hates noise, which might have a bit personal preference reason than simply materialistic things
(heh, they have same 'hate' with me, that make me like them better a little bit better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif) )

[Blah]

^ What is there to give the God that doesn't cost a bomb? Everything I seem to give him has a very nuteral efect... Boring god...

Its the same with the sprites, I give them all a herb of their colour or something they atleast enjoy, and have done for several seasons yet not one of them has gained a heart... Moronic Sprites!

Hmm, he loves shining grape/apple or grape/apple cocktail
if you have an apple tree or grapes, it shouldnt cost much

Shining egg should be easy to get, even though it only counts as liked gift, but still work nice

..or since he loves to sleep so much, maybe you could help him to sleep by whacking his he- *killed by God's fangirls*

and sprites, to tell the truth, I just give them either colored herbs or common mushroom everyday and still managed to get them to 10 after 2,5 seasons (but I rubbed them as well, aside of gift)
and they love some specific flowers depend on their color, and if I happen to have some in my farm, I give them flower sometime,

Red-Hibiscus, Yellow-Moondrop, Blue-Blue Mist, Gree-Gurinrin, Purple-Pink Cat

[Blah]

^ I agree about killing the moody, sleepy, dull, spiky headed fish (?) of a god!!! THE GOD IS BORING!!! So is the Godess, but she's pretty so I don't care but why can't we kill the god! This game needs a flame thrower or a machine gun or something like that...

Is getting a horse relevent in this game? In ToT I only got a horse because I was sick of time going so quickly, and then I never used it after my osterich grew up. However in this game horses' arn't as important since you can ride any barn animal, so other than filling the animal encyclopedia do they serve a purpose?

And why can't you put a baby on the floor!? I kinda thought It would be funny if I left my child at the circus and next season saw it on the zebra's head instead of the weird monkey/lemur thing but she would not leave me! Awwwwww I'm flatterd.

[Zen Clarke]

LOL! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that while you can ride all of those animals, the horse is the fastest. Plus, it's a horsey, and who doesn't want a horsey!?

[Syvle]

Aaah, personally I find him a bit more interesting than Wizard, just because I've seen tons of characters with a same traits and way of talking like Wizard,
Wizard's type of personalities is one of the typical 'must have' in any (dating) games so Wizard is awfully boring and predictable for me
(Not that I hate this silent and aloof type, I like quite some of them, but never really work as a best for me because they're unoriginal)

and I dont think flamethrower will work, he's fire
you need to use watergun or other water-elemental attacks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

If you've completed Circus and get the whistle, I dont really think that you'll really need them so much anymore (except maybe to go to garmoni)

Horse is indeed the fastest, but gives nothing, no purpose at all, esp if you think we can only keep 3 kind of animals
If you want a nice transport but good incomes as well, stay with Goat instead
They're not bad at all and gives product everyday

I was getting horse for completion sake and want goats, but after I got my white foal, I dont feeling like to sell her and keep it, she's too cute to sell~
'side I dont need money anymore, nothing left to buy, so I just go with what I love most now instead of thinking for profit

[Crystal Talian]

I had a quick (probably stupid) question. Do the mines still have those really annoying geysers and pitfalls?

[quincy52]

Hopefully there aren't any geysers, those are extremely irritating?

Speaking of mines, what is the scene like when you pass out now?

[Marley]

The screenshots I've seen show little cracks in the floor like the ones in ToT and MM, so they're probably pitfalls and geysers.

I do hear, though, that the Garmoni Upper Mine goes up instead of down, and I'm curious as to how that works. I suppose the geysers take you up and the pitfalls take you down, still, but it'll be strange to say, "Yay, steam geyser!" And do you uncover the down stairs as in the ToT mines, or do you smash rocks to uncover the up stairs, because those are the ones that move you through the mine? Because that really doesn't make a lot of sense. :/

The bottom of the forum page says it's Nurse Fin's nineteenth birthday. Happy Birthday, Nurse Fin! :]

[Blah]

^ Yah. There are Pitfalls and geyzers. Its really annoying because as you get deeper into any mine the amount of light for you to see vairys (Its also the same if you take in the bad gas sometimes) and since your so far down its not worth risking pitfals or geyzers incase you get the wrong one and end up futher away from the end, but since you can't see you useually step on one anyway... oh well.

And for the upper mine it is like "WOO A GEYSER". Its like loving the enemy. And almost every single time the stairs are visable for you to move to the next level. I have only been on one floor where I had to smash a rock to uncover it... I think... Maybe it was to get past it? Oh well, the stairs are always visable I'm sure.'

In this game I'm a goodboy and actually haven't passed out once! But in the mines there is now coloured gas which can give you actual illnesses. Some gasses can give you colds and make you sleepy and ones that can cure it. There are gases which can make all the directions opposite and darken a room for a short amount of time. There are gasses which make you fast or slow and there are the classic positively and negitvly afecting stamina gasses.

Okay Waffle over.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NURSE FIN!!!!

[Zen Clarke]

Is it like in ToT, where half the time you'll end up hitting a pitfall (or in this case, a geyser)? Because I usually just said, "Forget it" to the stairs and went around to the pitfalls until I got towards the end.

[Marley]

I prefer to take the stairs down. Didn't take too long in ToT.
The stairs are hidden under the rocks that contain ores like in ToT, right? Or are they just in random places in the ground and you have to dig them up with your hoe, like in MM? Because that was really annoying.

And is there a prize at the bottom of the Water Cave? I know there are power berries at the top and bottom of Garmoni Mountain, but is there anything in the Water Cave? And is it some silly prize, like the cake at the bottom of Gelato Mine?
I never figured out how a cake could find its way into a crystal, fifty floors down the mine. And how did it not go bad? That must be some magic cake.

I heard on the Ushi no Tane forums about the evil sick/sleepy gas, and I also heard there's no gas that cures it and you're stuck that way unless you brought medicine into the mines. x_o Is that true? Because that's sort of distressing, even though I've always been pretty decent at dodging gases. Whenever the good gases come up, though, I end up dodging them reflexively and not getting the nice stamina recovery.

I hear (I hear a lot of things.) that there's no way to tell if an ore or a wonderful will contain something worthwhile. Does that mean that the ores and wonderfuls will stack in this game? Because that would be just plain awesome. I could mine forever! 99 Bravo drinks and plenty of stay-awakes, and I could stay down there (or up there, I suppose) as long as I want!
And speaking of mining forever, if you're out after 6:00 AM, are you teleported back home like in every other game (besides AWL, which didn't have a set wake-up time), or do you stay where you are like in ToT?

Oh, so many questions. I'm a big fan of the mining mini-game, so I have a lot of questions.

I usually dodge healing gases too - then I chase them pathetically going "No, wait! Come back!"

My guess, and just a guess, is that you can stay up for three days before you're teleported home and lose a day resting. That's what it did in ToT.

So, basically, the stairs are pretty much always visible, and don't fret. There are ones that cure your illnesses. :]

[Blah]

I'm 90% sure... It was eather that or when you hit moles sometimes you do get medicine. Eather way my cold was cured inside the mine.

[quincy52]

I don't think the gases will be much of a problem, now that there is medicine for gas effects. Wish they had it in ToT.

I already know Jin will despise me, cause I pass out about 5 times a week.

Haha me too. Especially during the beginning ;x;.


I wanted to cry when I saw all the prices for everything. I'm going to be bankrupt ):.
I wonder if you leave your kids at home all alone like you did in ToT. That was such bad parenting (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) .

[Zen Clarke]

I'm always scared to pass out. I don't wanna get in trouble. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) My thing is with the money, if it costs more, does that mean that you get more money for things? I see it like it was back in the day, when you could buy something for 25¢, and you think now that that was really cheap, but for then that would be like paying $30 or something (I don't know exact prices like that, but you get my drift).

[Blah]

Its also easier to make money so don't worry about not being able to afford things.

Plus you do leave your children home alone as both parents will leave the house during the day for atleast 1 hour...

[quincy52]

Do the babies still go outside by theirselves once they start walking? That was crazy in ToT, when the baby would go walking away from the house, once they started walking...
