That's awesome!! Thanks for sharing your update. Who are you marrying in that game?

I beat HM3 (got almost everything except a few events I couldn't trigger). Between the 3 GBC games, I actually think I would replay HM2 in the future but not HM3. The wife getting pregnant twice for 2 seasons at a time and forcing me to take care of all the animals ended up being pretty annoying. I preferred how the friendship and events worked in HM2 even though there was technically more stuff to do in HM3.

I'm almost done with my first year of HM:DS and I've almost met all the goals for marrying the Witch Princess except the one that takes 5 years and I got her to red heart. I've been messing around in the mines to get my cursed tools. I'm also playing Rune Factory 1 now but I'm not very far. It starts out pretty challenging so I can see why I gave up on it early on when I got it. I'm liking it though.

I married Luke! I am preggers now and waiting on the baby. I'm in Winter of year 3! ^-^

Congrats on all your progress! Interesting to get your opinions on the GBC games. We will see how I like them I guess! Next for me in the main series is HM 64 (which I adore

)

That's awesome, Luke is a great bachelor :D I hope you like the GBC games! I've actually never played HM64 but it looks so good.

It took me 49 hours and 32 minutes to FINALLY marry the Witch Princess and have a baby with her. It's actually 6 minutes less than it took me to beat HM3 (although I had to restart that one due to a glitch). I got all 60 necessary harvest sprites in the 1st year, then I worked on finishing the rest of her goals. I skipped through most days except some festivals and I also got the other villagers married. She had Muffy's child which is fitting since he has the same hair color as her

I definitely want to replay it for completion in the future (marrying the Harvest Goddess) but I'm torn on whether I will try to marry Keira or not. This playthrough reminded me how much I hate mining in this game due to all the save scumming. I'm taking a break from it to play Grand Bazaar for now and I'll decide on that later.

Rune Factory 1 is also going really well. I'm about halfway through with the story and I've kind of got the hang of things now. I just got enough money to upgrade my house so I'll start crafting things soon. I believe Bianca is at 3 or 4 hearts.

I'll be slowing down on my progress a bit since I'm moving over these next 2 weeks. Tree of Tranquility will be coming up soon though!!

Here's my updated completion list.

Oh nice! I had my baby in Lost Valley. It was a girl and I named her Ann! ^-^ She is up and walking now, and I am getting dreams about sleeping sickness... ;~; I have also made a LOT of progress on unlocking crops. I have unlocked the seeds for red cabbage, scallion, white berry, magical berry, barley, squash, giant pumpkin, baby spinach, and yellow pansies. I'm close to a lot more though! ^0^

I haven't been playing any other games since I have been trying to FINALLY get all unpacked and organized in my apartment. >.>

That is awesome that you married the Witch Princess! I always wanted to marry Keria, so that will be my goal I think. That or the mermaid lol. It has been a while since I played Rune Factory 1, but I married Tori I know ^-^

Good luck with moving and good luck with Tree of Tranquility! I love that one, and I tend to marry Jin. ^-^

So I discovered that I indeed cannot use my phone as a hotspot, so the SNES Harvest Moon is out of my reach unless I can either take my entire Wii to someone else's house before time is up, or spend a large amount of money on a cartridge.

Oh no! ;~; I'm sorry! I hope you can get it before time is up to save money!

I've actually been doing this! It was the case for a while that I had played almost every game in the main series, but then from SI on I have a big gap in the number of games that I've played all the way to ANB! So now I'm trying to fill in those gaps.

At this point I have played notable amounts of: HM:SNES, HM64, FoMT, MFoMT, AWL, AnWL, MM, DS, DS Cute, ToT, ANB, RF4, Hometown Story, SoS, RtP, GBC, StH, and HoLV. I have yet to play any of: most of the Rune factory series, AWL:SE, SI, AP, TToTT, IL, MLS, or 3oT (I was waiting for the DLC). I want to play more of BtN, B&G, IoH, GrB, GBC2, and GBC3, as well. I'm also going to replay HM64 to get the party picture and foMT to marry Popuri.

I'm working through the series in more or less whatever order I feel like. Right now I'm playing GBC, but next I'll probably play BtN.

Woot! Post-Story beaten in The Lost Valley! I would like to get it 'perfect' by unlocking all the seeds and finishing my valley, but I consider it wrapped up!
