People have different opinions. If everyone were thinking the same thing, the world would be boring.
BTW, do the villagers still reject your gifts if you ignore them?

I'm glad you highlighted that, because the next sentence in my post said basically what you just said in your post(excluding things being boring). ._.

'Tis alright. I sometimes don't read everything posted(especially if it's not directed at me or something).
Okay, back on topic! Mmmm, I already know I won't get this when it first comes out... What about you, Fretka?
Psssh... if they still rejected my gifts if I didn't always pay attention them in this game, it'd be a pain... but recently, I've gotten in the habit of talking to everyone on a regular basis(in my HM and RF games). I guess, I was so used to the people doing that in IoH, it became a force of habit or something. It'd be nice if I didn't always have to keep up with them, though.

Awesome, I will be getting both. I have to admit though, I haven't had much time for harvest moon lately. I got Rune Factory two years ago and still have not had the time to play it yet

Its a shame they changed the name of SSaF, I liked the japanese translation better...

Umm... are you asking about the game? Are you from Europe?

If they still reject my gifts I will be really mad. Talking to everyone every day is a pain. The villagers should know I'm very busy and I don't have a time for a daily chit chat. Marvelous removed some painful things (for example, the characters won't leave the island if I ignore them), so maybe in this game they will accept our gifts, even if we didn't talk to them for a while.

Better play Rune Factory 2. It's much better than RF1.

How many days it takes in IoH when you call ignore and make them reject gift? I can see if it's still like that or no
I've never ignored anybody in SSaF, since like i said above, the town layout are much better and you can also focus to a particular area in the map by pressing select, which make finding people in one area become much easier
although i still pretty sure that they'll still reject it, cause people wont directly accept your gift in beginning just like IoH

I don't remember well, maybe 2-4.
I have a next question - how many random events can be found in this game? In DS Cute and FoMT/MFoMT we had a lot of them. I wonder how many is in SSaF.

Now i remember, it's still there
ignore=wont accept
i remembered again how frustrated i was when i hibernated to marry shiba and need to raise Wada's FP for sunstone
I see 31 random events listed in wiki, but in this game, you could only trigger one event per day, including heart and rival events (which can be annoying sometime)
so at least you can spend 31+28 (heart events)+18 (Rivals)= 77 days in game to see them
and those random events will only happen after they have 6 FP above

Yes. And no. I guess, I have to feel lucky enough to get the games, at least. It's just... I think Natsume hates us or something. Or perhaps, they just aren't so dedicated in their line of work.

That'd be nice. But, since I'm giving them gifts anyway, I might as well talk to them... unless being in their homes or something eats up the game time, then they only get presents. Yes.

I wouldn't really expect these games to come that soon, considering how Natsume tends to delay them anyway.
As for Animal Parade, I really hope it's better than ToT. I found ToT's flaws to render my experience with that game as unenjoyable <_< .

I don't know how they feel about us. However, many fans dislike them for the mistakes they have done.
Europeans always may buy the US version in the shops like Videogamesplus, Amazon or Play Asia. They send their stuff to Europe and you can pay them by Paypal (you don't need the credit card or the bank account if you wanna use paypal).
