I'm on year 5

[SirDawrq]

And i'm running out things to accomplish. After I get my Bazaar to 100% is there anything else worth doing? I'm at the point where money literally grows on trees. ( 9 tea trees, 3 coffee trees, 3 orange trees, 1 apple, and the rest are grapes. ) I have close to 800,000 I think.

Main point, what else can I do? Is raising friendship with people worth it at all? ( Cut scenes/bday gifts ) I'm married and just had a daughter, so I think i'm about done..

That's the one thing that GB is lacking, goals. Unlike SI, it doesn't have a load of goals to achieve. Getting all villagers to 10 hearts would probably be about the only thing left to do, assuming you have caught all bugs/fish (easy).

This game is seriously lacking in Goals so...

Fully Upgrade Bazzar
Fully Upgrade Feilds/storage/freshness
All tools fully upgraded
Max Friendship with Villagers
All Bugs
All Fish
All Cooking Recipies
Best Windmill user Rank
Perhaps Maxed out animals with full hearts/training.

Honestly I'm dawing straws and you've probably done most of them already. After the annoyance that was SI's crop system this seems like a good game, but it certainly lacks anything special to actualy DO, and on top of that lacks the usual goals.

Thats about the time I retire most HM games...

[OmegaJasam]

They seem a lot less substantial this time around as well. The only thing keeping half of them from being done instantly is needing year 4 for the large rod.

You might just find yourself trying to pass days by that point though XD

Honestly, after HM:DS cutes goals (level 99 crops, golden lumber farm, shipping list or even the dreaded LOL floors mine), and SI(Shipping list with quality ranks (Though I HATED the crop system), various farming degrees, larger selection of farm upgrades and the 100 stones to collect... The 'upgrade ya storage and bazzar, heres two more feilds' seems... lackluster. :(

Honestly I nornaly never get near to all the goals in a game, but I expect I'll get very very close before this game bores me.

[SirDawrq]

SI was my first HM game, and probably wasn't the best starter game. But i'm on year 7 on it, with 1mil, and a wife/kid. So I was expecting this game to be just as hard, but it was so much easier xD. I think i'm just going to help out my nieces in the game now. And maybe get full hearts with everyone.

Thanks everyone

I really like the principle of HM on the SNES.
You had just 2 1/2 year to complete everything and than you got an evaluation.
Maybe the time would be for games like that one to short but I would like the idea that the game has really an end.

I really never get bored with hm games. For instance, I got to year 9 in harvest moon ds and i still wasn't bored

[Guest]

The biggest time-sink is probably giving gifts to each NPC. I can't be motivated to do this at all. Other than raising the heart rating with the girl you want to marry and her family, I don't see the point.

[SilverFire]

wow, you've played more than me (only on Year 3). but i don't think that i'll get bored with this one. i normally stop and the beginning of Year 2, but this one is so much more sastifing than the others. (to me at least.)

[Guest]

Forgive me if this is a ridiculously easy goal to add to the list (I'm at the end of Year 1, so I can't tell at this point), but getting all crops to 5 stars? :D
I don't know offhand for sure how the whole fertilizer/seed system works (like if a higher star crop will make higher star seeds...), but if it does, it might be something to do. c:

I really hope I don't get bored of this game soon. D:
I had DS Cute and played through a total of about 5 years and still had loads (really, huge amounts) of things I wanted to do.
