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

[Syvle]

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...

What?! Is that really true? The baby can walk away from house in ToT? I must see it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

But the baby will stay in his/her craddle until he/she becomes a fully grown child, and even so, he/she just walk around house and sometimes to school

And there's no prize at the bottom of water cave except Skull Jellyfish
and you can stack wonderfuls now, plus you'll not get sent back home even after 6 AM

The mole can drops Bravo and Stamina drink, but I dont think it'll drop cold medicine or stay awake

[LadyKartoffel]

I've never stayed awake for 3 days, but I did bring some stay-awakes and stamina drinks and stayed in the mines for 2 days. I went home the night of the second day to take care of my crops and animals.

And it's great since they stack. The only thing I don't like is that things don't sparkle anymore. When I was trying to upgrade all my tools to gold I had to mine about a hundred gold ores, because I only had about a ten percent chance of them being actual gold. 80 of them turned into junk ore. And you still have to pay to refine the ores, even though it isn't that much. I hate having to pay 1000G to refine a pile of junk ore.

[Zen Clarke]

What?? Man, that is so LAME! I used to make my money by mining and fishing and doing part-time jobs! Ugh! Looks like I'll just spend my days fishing -- Tao and I will be good friends. -_-

[Blah]

Well... You need to make lots of money so you can upgrade your fishing pole... its the opposite to ToT in that upgrading means you throw the rod further out and leveling up uses less stamina... GET ON THE FARM MISS ZEN-CLARKE AND EARN THOSE PENNYS!

[Zen Clarke]

*cries hysterically* But I always win the heart of my love, THEN work on the farm! Because working on the farm takes up a lot of my time, so I don't have as much time to run around town courting and making friends!

[Marley]

Well time doesn't pass in buildings, right? So, animal care will take no time at all (Also I hear the interactions take less real-time. PLEASE tell me this is true!)

And, if watering takes the same amount of real-time as it does in ToT, then it'll take half the in-game time. Does it? 'Cause I'd like to have the time to flirt with my rivals every day. I want to meet those rival kids! Especially the new ones.

Yeah, my baby in ToT used to wander around outside my house all the time once she learned to walk. All by herself, too. Coupled with the fact that we dressed her in that stupid rabbit hat... we're horrible parents. D:

[Zen Clarke]

LOL! Yeah...I'll still be able to scavenge for stuff, right? :s

[fabshelly]

Who scolds you if you faint before you ring the blue bell? Irene?

[Blah]

^ I am usually finished with farm work by around 8:00 am at the very latest without anyhelp from my family. Time doesn't pass inside buildings so it takes no game time at all to take care of animals, and barn animals are extreamly quick to take care of... But coop animals are slightly more annoying because the coop is quite small so its hard to walk around in.

Watering can take forever at the start of the game, but once you get silver watering can or better it gets so easy its boring. But don't worry about time in this game... without using circus animals or barn animals, my day ends at arround 6pm... and it normally takes around 30 - 30 minuets but most of it is traveling.
_________________________
New waffle!
I haven't seen my child outside my house yet, but I may have just missed her. And I guess Irene is the only option, but I guess it would be pointless if they did make a Pre and Post Blue bell passing out scenes so I bet Jin doesn't do it at all.

I think spouces hate children or are lazy... they only hold the child when they do something special... STOP LEAVING OUR POOR CHILD ALL UP TO ME!

[Zen Clarke]

Hm...that Irene thing reminds me of when I had my child in ToT; I hadn't gotten...um...I can't remember his name. The guy who's now the priest in EAM. Well, anyway, he's supposed to say something when you're leaving the hostpital, but since I didn't have him, Irene said it.

[Blah]

I guess Perry isn't really that Important...

I had my child on the day he moved to Waffle Town, and even though I knew who he was, I was saying "AHHHHHHHH STRANGER!!! GET AWAY FROM MY SON!!!" and wanting to pick up Luna and swing her around so as to Kill Perry... STAY AWAY FROM MY FAMILY STRANGER!!!

That reminds me... To althose with the game and those who have seen the Nurse Fin's birth scene on youtube, don't you think its more natural than ToT's. In ToT my wife just said "Take me to the docter" Irene forces you out of the way and the woman gives birth... within 5 minuets she's out of bed and stroling around with her new son... then back at home its still early morning and Luna said "Boy, giving birth is tiering." I was flabbergasted! It felt like she treated it like it was a 10 minuet Jog around the farm... She then went on to preform her normal rutine while I did the farm work... Poor Newborn. After the EAM Birth my wife said something similar, but since the time was 8pm (Just long enough to get the chours done and see your friends) I felt like she genuinly was tired... Even though I know she's a game character.

[quincy52]

It's nice that it is more realistic, and I like the birth scene with the husband pacing back and forth.

[Marley]

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.

Really, I don't think I'll be shelling out the cash for gas antidotes. I just leave the floor through the up-stairs and come back when I get hit with bad gases in ToT.

I'm all for more realism, but not getting home until eight? That's a little late. I mean, I suppose I could do chores, but I don't think I'd have time to flirt with people. Eh, one day, I guess.
When do you get home after your wedding? Or is it like the olden Harvest Moon days, where you don't get home at all and you don't get to feed your animals and they get pissed off at you the next day?

[Blah]

I doubt your wife/husband will be happy... but oh well. MUHAHAHA I SHALL FLIRT WITH VARIOUS PEOPLE SPOUCE AND YOU SHAN'T STOP ME!

And In EAM with Marriage you just miss the entire day, but thats okay because Barn animals have enough fodder spaces for 2 peices each and chickens and such are really easy to please so they don't really get angry at you, most oof them are just neutral.

[Syvle]

Dont get too worried over time flow in this game, really
and other thing as well.....like bells, money, collapsing and become hero

Maybe the game sounds hard after you read some changes from ToT, but just wait till you play the game itself, there's nothing hard and troublesome over this game at all

And I could say that AP is one of the easiest HM ever

Even when I just started the 1st data from zero, I could managed both farming, socializing and storyline in balance and without any hassle
Just get the red bell as soon as possible so you can access the hotspring

You should've finished with all farm works at 7 AM, plus 1-2 hour more perhaps, if you got extra fields without lvl 4/5 can or helping hand to harvest your crops

and then you have time from 10 AM for socializing, fishing, mining and collecting materials until you get bored or decided to finished for a day
You'll get it well for every aspects, esp if you're not a real slacker and can work a bit more till 8 PM instead of goes to sleep whenever you've finished with farm duty and wooing your sweetheart only


I've never collapsed, but I tried once after I got married, cause I just want to see my spouse's reaction
I got sent back to my home, not clinic, so no scold from Irene/Jin, and I've half stamina left the next day and no one commenting about it unlike ToT

[Zen Clarke]

So, like, after a date, does your date just abandon you in the middle of the night after it's over? I always thought that was so lame. Seriously. What kind of a boyfriend abandons you in the middle of the field at night, to make the long walk home all by yourself?? You could be mugged!! T-T

[Syvle]

Yes, you'll be left alone in the date area at around 7PM after date
You'll get sent back home (or walking home together, as they say *rolleyes*) after confession and proposal though (except God/Goddess)

[Blah]

I found this game really easy, and If I can do it ANYONE can.

I thought the Blue Feather was going to be the most Impossible thing ever, but I proposed after I saved the god, and got the portal up to the top... when it was time I just skiped to the top and got the blue feather... I was slightly disapointed.

Think about how hard you think this game will be... then make it 10000 times easier... then picture your grandmother and her cat getting married within the first week she started... It's easier than ToT and Much more fun, and ToT is extreamly fun.

Another way to think, Think about how awquard some of the aspects of ToT are. Then picture slightly cuter animation and all of theawquardnesses at least in some aspects fixed.

[quincy52]

How is the camera angle in this one? Is it like ToT, cause I don't like that type of angle, where you can't see a flat view of the landscape, like in AWL, if you've played that.

I'm excited about the new outfits, and the fact you can wear during any season. And the variety of clothing I have seen is nice. Shorts in the winter... Is it just me or does the girl from ToT look better in outfits than the new girl? I just like the new girl cause she has long hair.

And I was thinking of using money cheats in the game, but if it really is easy as you all say, I might wait till' my eighth time playing, like I'm doing in ToT right now...

[Marley]

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) I use the word "flirt" in Harvest Moon to refer to giving people gifts, including people of the same gender and the non-marriage-candidates. It means nothing, Chase, I swear! Dx
o__o If I were actually flirting with the little kids in town and the married folk I think we'd have a bit of an issue.
Isn't there a fancy trophy you can get for getting everyone up to three hearts? I AIM TO ACHIEVE THIS! >D

I think, if you hold... some button or another while you're on your field, it switches to birds-eye view. Sounds handy.

I love the new outfits! I've seen pictures. I know which ones I'm getting already.
And I think I actually prefer Hikari over Akari. She's just so cute. owo I like her hair a lot more.
Then again, I haven't seen both of them in all the outfits, so I don't know for sure.
