The sense of balance that has gone into this game is amazing. RP seems like such a limiting factor, until your monsters become even more efficient at your jobs than you are. Hell, if my cow's kills counted toward my own experience I'd take him with me everywhere. He's a force of nature.

Monsters add a lot to this game, freeing you up in a lot of ways. Then there's the ability to balance crops, leave Runes in dungeons for you to get energy in a pinch, I'm sure bringing enough areas into Prosperity will be like the second coming of Jack from Harvest Moon 64...

And I'm going to assume that bigger dungeons also mean I get better ore more often, so it's possible to make much better stuff, and that my monsters' produce levels up alongside their affections. I'm going to be able to make some seriously good stuff by the time winter rolls around.

All right, all right. Now, I just need to decide if I want a Forge, a Kitchen, or a Laboratory...

They actually do.

Would you count shaving off five days from each stage of your crops' growth? That means pineapples every day...

The lab's very helpful: potions=health, and they're the surest way to have status defense in the long run.

Very well then. I suppose a better Forge wouldn't help me until I got better ore anyway...

And you just gave me free license to take my cow with me everywhere.

And I have no clear way to describe how helpful that sounds like it would be. It is beyond me.

I'm on the last couple of days of Spring. I ended up buying a Forge and a Kitchen first, and I do not regret it. I've leveled up my most important tools considerably.

Can you have a kid in this game? How old can the kid get? (you can see where this is going)

Yup, you can pop out a little one. You can even pick the gender this time! Unfortunately, from what I've heard, the kid is the same no matter who you marry. I'm not sure how old the little squirt can get, but my hunch says he/she will be around Candy's age.




Oh, and in a first, I've heard it's possible to engage in infidelity in this game...>_>

Candy's old enough to do chores, which is just perfect for me!

....Say whaaaaaaat

Get married, ask another girl on a date...and hilarity ensues. To be honest, I desperately want to see it myself, but Cinnamon turned me down.

My fiance watched a video on Youtube wherein Raguna proposed to every single person that you can't marry. I only heard the audio, but it was great.

That hadn't even occured to me...

Excuse me, I need to see just how committed Rita is to her marriage.

It is now summer.

I have the Lion Can. I can water one 3x3 square. This makes me ask: what can a special attack of 3 do in a watering can? Perhaps even bigger!?

Also I seriously need to get that shortcut to where Iris lives on Whale Island.
