i hate how i nearly beat the game already and i didnt have to use anything but a broad sword. i didnt buy use any items beyond antidotes for poison, and i only used the artifacts for 75% resistance to seals and paralyze.
i hate how big the cows and chickens are. i mean, thats not really that much of a big deal, but it does bug me.
i hate how many times i have to chase bees around while im trying to collect honey. thus just wasting rune points trying to collect it when they are sitting still, and then they move right when you hit the b button. this isnt THAT bad, but it happens and it annoys me.
i hate the festivals. in my opinion, harvest moon 64 was the best. farming blew really bad in it, but the marriage system and the festivals were the best. the only real festival i like in this one is moonlit eve.
i hate how the girls in this are WAY too easy to raise. again, harvest moon 64, it actually took a long while to get them to raise their love. This one, its fairly easy. unless you have mei, bianca, or tori.
i hate how they give you a choice between a battle axe, sword, 2 hander sword, hammer, and spear... but the only logical choice is the 1 handed sword and shield, because everything else feels retarded to use.
i hate how i never had to use magic except to return home. and maybe heal twice.
i hate how you dont even have to farm, as you can just go mine a total of 10 or 15 rocks in mt gigant and make more money than your crops could ever get to, unless you spent days raising their levels.
there are other things im upset about in this game but i wont get into them. honestly i really enjoyed this game. its nearly glitchless (although i have caught a few typos), and unlike most of the other harvest moons, you have to work a little bit harder to marry (i complained about it being easy, but its still better than most). i also enjoy the fact that they give you 10 people to choose from. not like, 3.

I think we can summarize Rabbitank's biggest beef with this game being the balancing

Things are whacked out in balance. I NEVER sold any crops for profit, and never bothered farming. Sold ores for awhile, and then leveled up a Wind Sword to 100 and sold it for insta-cash. It seems like there was lack of insight in this game.
I wish they had more facial reactions of the characters while talking to them, and also if the conversations of the girls could change based on your relationship with them.
Also, when you reject a girl, it's kinda odd having them tell you to never speak to them again, but if you talk to them again, they're like "Oh, you're just the person I wanted to see!"

The festivals is a one big « Puppy Doodoo ». I remember the festivals from HM:FoMT/MFoMT. I had a fun; chicken sumo, Christmas time, The first day of summer (frisbee), Moonlight Eve and more.... I loved them. In the RF all festivals is a one, big mistake. All people from the town sit on the street and if you talk to them once, their LP/FP will grow.
- The first day of summer - why are they in the town? They should go on the beach, don't you think? Also, Cecilia says something about the swimming permission, so why I can't swim in the sea? Also, all girls should wear bikini, the Mayor should start some races - it would be fun.
- Harvest Day. In the every game we had a big pot so I could throw my vegetables. In the RF we don't have any pot, only the fat dude still says about his stomache
- The Cooking Day. Dear « Harvest Goddess », I would kill the person who wrote the plot to this fantastic festival. In the GBA games almost all girls cooked some dishes and we had a fun (Karen has got the lowest score

). In the RF... they just sit on the street and....nothing happens.
- The biggest LOL is the Moonlight Eve. Hahaha. ROLF. I asked the girl for a date and I went at the top of the mountain. I haven't seen any moon

Also, the dialogue between me and the girl was LOLish:
She: Umm...wh...what do you think of me?
Raguna: What? o_O
She: I...I like you
Raguna: What? o_O
She: I have to go home.... *she runs away*
Oh « Harvest Goddess »! The crappiest date ever

Balance is the biggest issue in this game. Like you said, you can beat the game pretty damn easy with some of the weakest weapons and armor. I kinda wish there was some sort of extra boss feature or something that faces you up against INSANE HARD monsters.
Doesn't have to be part of the story line, just something a little extra to the game for the people who are elite at it and make the best weapons and armor in the game. Kinda like the Ultima weapon in Final Fantasy games.
Also there's no trees. =p

I have to agree on the girls not changing any dialog as they like you. There's also like no cutscenes or anything you can walk in on, whether it be rival scenes or just villager scenes. There's a few but very very far between.
I do miss the cute chickens and cows.... Woolies are cute though.

Not really. If Melody has a crush on you and you go to her room before 3 pm, she will tell you more about her feelings and life. I'm not sure about others. I know only, Mist doesn't say much because [I had her on 6lv (LP)].

So do I. I loved the chickens from HM:GBA^^ The new creatures usually are fugly like a « Puppy Doodoo ». I like only few of them.

1) Game balance
2) No Harvest Goddess!
3) Watering grass
4) Needs cuter animals!
5) Not enough to spend gold on. Another house upgrade. Perhaps a vacation home. More decorative items.

Ummmm just letting you know in this game there are no animals and also the monsters are not good looking cause of the bad textures. Even the characters look bad if you look close to them.

I hate how I feel rushed while playing this game. I know that there's no time limit to finish everything and all, but I want to be able to beat Misty Bloom Cave before the end of the first year, so I have to hurry up with everything else. I also don't like boss battles. Fighting regular monsters I don't mind, I just don't like fighting the bosses.

Ummm When you say you rush.. Rush in what? Even if you "rush" you have 22 days per cave to be exactly on 1st day of winter able to visit mist bloom. Where is the rush in that? Even if you stick to like 2nd cave until the end of summer you will be so leveled up you will be able to walk though the next two caves and kill anything that you see on sight.

Only thing I did not like was the fact you had to water the grass, and it could only be harvested ONCE! That just felt like one HUGE rip. I mean, all the other harvest moon games... you have unlimited grass, which made life so easy!
