well, i have some disagreements with the game. the place where the hot springs is, it's kinda hard to get to, it's in a bad place and it took me nearly 7 game days to get up there. i hate loading screens and the other harvest moon games never did have loading screens, but, thankfully they're not that long. i think people who havn't played harvest moon before will find it hard to raise money, but experienced players might find it easier. planting seeds now, instead of the traditional 3x3 seeds, you only get one.

now on to the good stuff ^^. the story, from where i finished at right now (Summer 2, year 1. i just got the first rainbow) it's really good. fiinishing the whole story, i predict, could take about 3 game years, but players will have fun doing it. i havn't got to the most fun part of the game yet, courting and marrying, mostly, cuz, i havn't gotten candace to move in yet. i also havn't been able to build any animal buildings yet, i'm low on money in the game.

i give this game an 8.5/10

Wahh >.< !! Now i really want my dad to gimmie it already. D: I cant wait until my report card D:<... and lol.. OMG ONLY 1?! @_@... Which plot did you chose? Im probly gonna chose the hilltop plot ^^

Awww... I want to live on the mountain...

you can't. you must choose between the hilltop, the town plot, or the seaside plot.

The bigger the plot the less fertile it is.. so thats kinda bad for your crops

thank you, this review is really helpful, since im getting TOT soon ^^
