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

[ZBoy]

Going gold is big news!!! I didn't have my hopes up when they were talking about Sunshine Islands going gold without even mentioning Animal Parade. Myy hopes just got a little higher. :D

[HMFarmergirl19]

Yeah even Natsume posted it on their page(It's a press release) :D

Press release-HM AP Goes Gold!

That press release is in PDF format but this is very good news! and I don't see them pushing the game back now!

[Marley]

o_o I got Vivi up to fourteen hearts two days after we got married. It took two or three more to get her up to fifteen, and I gave her gifts, talked to her, rubbed her, and took her walking for 24 hours each day.

Huh. Maybe they'll stick with it.
Only two pushbacks. Nice going, Natsume.
I may rent the American version and play it for a while, just to check it out. But I won't be buying it for a while... maybe not even until Christmas. o_o

[Skarlet Fantasy]

"Going gold" means it'll probably definitely come out when they say so or something? I'd be more excited, except my mind is kind of preoccupied with Halloween right now... and Christmas

Only got pushed back twice, huh? Isn't that like a record for Natsume? Congratulations. *claps*
Can't wait to see how many typos/glitches are in it...

"Rub her"??... I imagine the player running up to someone and rubbing their arm or something.. *rub rub rub* "Uh.. what are you doing?" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) (I know, I know, you mean the p2 trick, right?)

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

"Going Gold" is what's used for saying that the game is being released to manufacturers. So yeah, unless they make an error it's basically confirmed to be coming out soon.

... I still need to preorder this. By the end of the week I should be able to...

[quincy52]

I'm so excited! It's almost finally out, only 2 weeks! And these weeks have been going by surprisingly fast, I think someone hit the fast forward button on life.

[Marley]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Yeah, it's some weird terminology. >> I wasn't the first to call it that.
Whenever I think of "rubbing," my mind goes in the gutter... which is not good, because it's something you can do to your children.
Oh, yeah, it's going to be a mess, I'll bet. Can't wait to see.

...
No one talk to me about the thirty-first. I've spent way too much time on my cosplay for the anime convention that happens to be this weekend. Way. Too. Much. Time.

[Cresenttwilight]

I know right? These past few months feel like they've been flying by. Like you said, it really feels like someone hit the fast forward button. I thought it was just me, but I guess not. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

[ZBoy]

I know it's almost obvious that with "Going Gold" we are all practically assured that it will be released on time, but to make all of you more assured, I recieved my monthly Ninendo Power today and there was a review of Animal Parade in it. Now don't tell me they would put in a review and push it back again. :D

[Crystal Talian]

You got your Nintendo Power, too? Okay, that's it. Our mailman is so with-holding mine. I bet he reads it before he delivers it . . . I want my Nintendo Power. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalacry.gif)

Anyway~

I'll believe Animal Parade will be out on time when I see it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif)

[Skarlet Fantasy]

They gave it an 8.5 right?... (I'm too lazy to check...) I do remember that they said that they wished you could send gifts to/visit friends... but you can, right? with wiiconnect... I hope that Natsume didn't remove that feature and it just wasn't in the demo... or maybe they meant they wished it was over wifi and it wasn't just sending a cutscene to your friends.... it really should be wifi at least.. and if you could actually run around your friends farms would be so awesome

and if I remember correctly, when they reviewed ToT, the game was still pushed back...

Today is November 1st, only 9 more days :D (well depending on how you count it, 10 or 8 and 10 hrs...) But I'm not feeling so excited.... the game that I'm currently really excited for is a game I found while looking for the Tales of Grace official site.. but I suppose that's for the best, considering Natsume's history of pushing games back.. but with it going gold an all, maybe they'll come through

(happy late hallowwen everyone and happy 100th post to me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif) )

[Typo]

So is "Animal Parade" before or after "Tree of Tranquility" as far as the timeline goes?

[Darth-Paper-Boy]

After I guess, but they're not really sequels or prequels and don't really follow a timeline. I think that idea was abandoned after 64.

[ZBoy]

So is "Animal Parade" before or after "Tree of Tranquility" as far as the timeline goes?

Well after playing the game (unless you spoil it for yourself) it can sorta make sense that this game culd be a prequel, but it was never confirmed...

[Typo]

lol. I guess I'll just consider it an alternate timeline.

I wonder if they'll keep the same cast of characters for the next HM game? Or if they'll switch it up?

[ZBoy]

I'm sure they would switch it up. I'm sure there would be a large controversy if for 3 main console games in a row they used the same cast...

[Typo]

Is there a site where I could view all of the child possibilities? And can you have 2 sons/daughters?

[ZBoy]

You can have two of the same gendered children. Around the internet I'm sure you can find each child. The structure of each child you can find on fogu.com/hm. ;)

[LadyKartoffel]

Will they make us download the update in order to play? Because my Wii's wireless connect is broken, and has been for several months now. I can't download shat. But I don;t want to have to use my freeloader every time I play the English version, either! Maybe they will make it optional??
