00:00Harvest Moon 2
00:02This game is more technically impressive than the previous GBC game.
00:06There's forging outside, and there's an actual town you walk around in.
00:12Both of those are only superficially good because time passes outside.
00:17When the game starts, you get the option to choose between a boy or a girl.
00:22I always heard about how this game has gameplay differences depending on which gender you chose,
00:27which feels like a cluelessly sexist, gimmicky way of introducing replayability.
00:32Here, only the boy has access to turn-up seats.
00:36Good thing I picked the boy purely out of nostalgia for its similarity to the main character in Friends of Mineral Town,
00:42because otherwise, that is bad design.
00:45Gender differences in general are a guy dang it in Harvest Moon.
00:49I only looked up gender differences because I remembered my first playthrough of Harvest Moon 3.
00:55Anyways, when you first start the game, you see a short cutscene when the mayor briefly considers turning the run-down farm into a theme park before you stepped in.
01:04Was the town just importing their food expensively and all the time its farm was run-down?
01:10It's weird to think such a small town with only one farm could have survived having no one managing its farm for so long.
01:16There's no indication the seed shop is a farm by itself.
01:20Cutscenes always bore me in these games, so I immediately felt like it was wasting my time and wanting to skip it.
01:26I then got to walk around town, and immediately felt intimidated because I'd have to memorize the town's level design.
01:33Fortunately, the town isn't very big.
01:35All the buildings are in one convenient spot in one room of the game.
01:40Unlike other games.
01:42The town just consists of a few horizontal roads of houses.
01:46So with something so repetitive, naturally I took a little bit to fully memorize the exact building locations.
01:53They shouldn't call it the flower shop if you can't buy flowers.
01:57You can buy flower seeds though.
01:59Not that it matters right away.
02:01The librarian who looks just like Mary from the previous game is in this game.
02:06And naturally I was impressed right away.
02:08But no, I can't marry her.
02:11When you go into the library, you can't give her a gift.
02:15There should be an inn building to at least try to explain where everyone lives,
02:19because the mayor is the only one who has a house of his own.
02:23There aren't any civilian houses wasting your time.
02:26So it's all either shops, a clinic where the doctor lies that you're fine even though you don't have your stamina at max,
02:33so how did they screw that up?
02:35It makes it look like the clinic doesn't do anything.
02:38And there's a church that serves no purpose whatsoever most of the year.
02:42Yeah, that makes sense.
02:44What kind of a name is Chocola?
02:46There's a girl called that in this game.
02:49It's so patronizingly unrealistic that she never says she's ashamed of her name and no one makes fun of it.
02:55Why did her parents do that to her?
02:57We'll never know because the NPCs in this game have no personality for the most part and barely get any development.
03:03And then there's the town square north of the town,
03:06which has a billboard that tells you about the mole-whacking minigame I never played on the TV.
03:11When I unlocked it by just tilling the soil of my farm, my game crashed.
03:17No kidding.
03:18What a great first impression.
03:20The minigame's total ass anyways because you don't actually see the specific mole hole that you're highlighting.
03:26So you just blindly move the circle pad around and mash A, hoping you don't press A over the frogs.
03:32How did they manage to screw this up?
03:35And the town square's billboard is just full of notes telling you things you've always known.
03:39I've started to hate the spring music because it sounds too goofy.
03:45It worked for the very beginning of the game when you were just getting started.
03:49Not when you're an experienced farmer.
03:51I wish this game had the night music and a magical melody with a hooting owl.
03:56It'd be nice to get a daily break from the music that constantly restarts when at night.
04:01I like that even this old game bothers to give your character idle animations, but that was also in the previous game.
04:08I love that if you press select in the tool menu and turn memo on, it has a day of the week and time in what tool you have equipped always displayed on the screen.
04:18I hate that it eats up screen space.
04:21It's great that there is a run button.
04:23It'd be better to have a walk button instead.
04:26You'll have no reason not to be running.
04:29When you press A in front of your cat, you pick it up regardless of what tool you have equipped.
04:34Same always went for trying to ride a horse.
04:37I wish that was the case for the harvest ready crops and berries.
04:41The Q&A tells you that cats give you items and dogs herd.
04:45And if it has no affection meter, then it's not like I need to own it longer for it to have a better chance of giving me stuff.
04:51When I first played the game, I tried to till the land directly in front of my house and was confused and shocked that nothing happened.
04:59I had to go down a screen and only then could I get to tillable land.
05:04Which is easily the most inconvenient place in tillable land I've ever seen.
05:10The music story starts whenever I change screens.
05:12I love that the flower shop is open even at 6am.
05:16But it was so unintuitive that it took a while to find this out and take advantage of it anyways.
05:22I hate that there's an option to buy zero seeds every time you try to buy seeds, and it's the default option.
05:28I don't know why the game can't just always have the amount of money it had to be visible when you're at a store.
05:34I am grateful that she only lets me buy as many seeds or whatever she actually has.
05:40So I don't have to keep count of what I have back home.
05:42I know I'm 99 when she runs out of stock of something.
05:46It's realistic.
05:48I wish the lady at the flower shop with a relatable pose with her hands on her chin told you how long it took to grow every crop.
05:55Not to mention how much it's worth.
05:57She'd rather tell you that you have to water your crops daily every time you buy seeds.
06:03It's pretty ridiculous with her dialogue for asparagus seeds.
06:06She says they harvest in 9 days if you water them daily.
06:10And then says that of course you have to water them daily.
06:13It's not like the crops are going to wilt if you take a few days to water them.
06:17I like the soundtrack for this game more.
06:20Even the menu music is good.
06:22But it being good is distracting because it tempts me to just sit there on it and listen.
06:27Menus shouldn't have their own themes.
06:30What Harvest Moon game does that?
06:32That blonde Chocola makes it harder to get into the animal shop quickly.
06:37I immediately loved the mountain forest music.
06:39It was surprisingly epic and adventurous.
06:42Time doesn't fly by nearly as fast in this game.
06:46When you're experienced with Harvest Moon 1 at the sprinkler,
06:49you actually prefer the faster time keeping the fast pacing up because days fly by.
06:55Which is much better for making you feel like you're progressing than this game's time.
06:59Considering the stamina system, you always feel like you have time to do everything you want to do in the day.
07:06As long as you don't plant too many seeds for you to handle.
07:09There's no shipping bin right in front of the house.
07:12Which means you have to take a few extra seconds going inside of your barn to ship something you got from the woods.
07:18Or you could take the risk of trusting your horse.
07:21There's only three things to forage, which is actually good because you don't have a bag in this game.
07:28For some asinine reason.
07:30The mountain stumps respawn after a screen transition.
07:33If you move at all when cutting a stump, the game loses track of how many times you've hit it.
07:39And I hate that you can't simply jump down ledges on the mountain to quickly get to the bottom.
07:44You need a guide to know the shortcut to the farm.
07:48How are you supposed to know you can walk through a tree?
07:51Thank goodness that's in the game.
07:53It was a very convenient way of getting max lumber over a few days.
07:58Because they're right next to the hot spring.
08:00I only knew that you could heal a bunch of stamina by hopping into it repeatedly from looking up online.
08:06If you don't have a tool in one of the slots, it gets the empty hands feature if it's empty.
08:12So it's not like it'll be faster getting to your other tools with less tools in there.
08:17It's weird that with some things you put in the toolbox, they always go on the second page of it.
08:22Why can't we just put the tool wherever we want?
08:26It takes extra time looking for the second page.
08:29All the 8-bit games don't show you the face of the one buying what you ship.
08:34Because there's no character portraits.
08:36Some invisible guy suddenly teleports to your bin and throws his voice so loudly that you can hear it from anywhere on your farm.
08:44Somehow they thought not letting you make money off anything you ship after 5pm was a remotely acceptable idea.
08:51Luckily, this game let you get away with staying up until almost midnight with no consequences.
08:57You can't stay up past midnight though.
09:00You'll be forced to go to bed automatically.
09:02When the previous game let you stay up until 6.
09:06What's confusing is that you can only go to bed by pressing A in front of the diary.
09:11It was something weird about the previous game too.
09:14I love that there's such a quick transition to the next day after you go to bed.
09:18That's something great about the older games.
09:21I usually enjoy playing this game.
09:24It's hard to stop playing it.
09:26Of course I'll sound negative when fully describing it because what's good about it is the same thing that's good about most Harvest Moon games.
09:33There are a lot of these games so I can afford to be picky.
09:36You only know the hour of the day and not how many minutes you have.
09:41So you never know how close you are to the next hour.
09:44This can mean the difference between getting to ship stuff before 5 and not bothering because you think you won't make it to the bin in time.
09:51I didn't think to complain earlier because it's a bunch of old games.
09:55But there's still some room to the left of the hour of the day on the memo.
09:59This 8-bit game has a horse race?
10:03It's such a simple concept I don't know why it wasn't in the previous GBC game.
10:08It was obvious the game was rushed out and that's why it's so bare.
10:12That's why you had to re-water crops in the rain after harvesting.
10:16I was so glad they fixed that glitch for this game.
10:19If you use tools too many times in the rain, and the worst part is they don't even tell you how many times you're allowed to do it.
10:28Then the next day, your character will wake up with a cold and decide to spend the whole day in bed.
10:35What the fuck?
10:36That is the stupidest gimmick there's ever been in a Harvest Moon game.
10:40I didn't think anything could top the scrappy mechanics of Story of Seasons, but somehow they managed.
10:46You have to look up a guide, which you're not going to think to do, to find out that going to the clinic after working in the rain will cause you to rest there for the night and not have to deal with this.
10:58You're better off having the memo on on rainy days so you don't miss out on your opportunity to go to the clinic.
11:05On my first playthrough, because the game never told me about the clinic's function, I didn't think I could do any work in the rain after that.
11:14The only thing the game's Q&A warns me about not doing is sowing seeds.
11:19Don't blame us if you get a cold.
11:22I will blame you because you programmed it into the game!
11:25Well, maybe the person who wrote this text didn't, but it said us, which kinda implied everyone responsible for this game.
11:33You'd think the Q&A would tell you about the clinic thing.
11:37And the way I upgraded my hull was that I used it until it suddenly broke.
11:41And I was like, that's unnecessary!
11:44So I had to get it repaired in the tool shop and wait three days for it.
11:48I realized that it was just an alienating precursor to the way the blacksmith works, without forcing you to get the ore yourself.
11:56It's pretty annoying though that every shop is closed on Sunday.
12:02The idea of every shop in the game being closed on the weekend was an idea I thought about as a kid when I was questioning the unrealistic closed days of the shops.
12:11And even kid me to discard it because I knew that would lead to this very problem.
12:16It's creepy that if you choose the talk option, the priestess just says your name and that's it.
12:23The grass looks so ugly when it's ready to be harvested because it's obvious that each tile of grass is separate from the others.
12:30You have to stand so close to the square you want to cut for the game to actually cut it.
12:35You'll almost be standing on it.
12:38Otherwise, you'll swing your sickle and waste time and stamina.
12:43I love that you don't have to charge up the super tools.
12:47I hate that when you use the super sickle or axe, your character's eyes bulge out overly cartoonishly.
12:55It's gruesome and distracting.
12:57You get it from Will after he falls down a cliff.
13:01The game is nice enough to teleport you to the clinic after someone tells you to help Will.
13:06And then you have to get the idea to talk to Will a day later in his shop.
13:10He'll take your sickle and give you the super sickle three days later.
13:14Or you can get it early as a birthday gift.
13:17But you only get a birthday gift from the one person with the highest affection.
13:22Which is lame compared to everyone that liked you in a later game.
13:26Which was common sense.
13:28Thankfully, the sprinkler is back.
13:30It works the same as before, unfortunately.
13:32It should have been child's play to extend the watering range.
13:36You can get the fishing rod really early from the tool shop.
13:40For 2000G.
13:42Which feels like highway robbery considering that when I first used it.
13:46Because I hadn't fished before in the previous GBC game at that point.
13:50I waited for a while and got no bite.
13:52At least I thought I had no bite.
13:54Because I didn't see an exclamation mark appear over my character's head.
13:58So I had to look it up.
14:00To pull a fish up, you need to wait until you see the end of your pull twitch.
14:04So you get a bite every time the fishing rod dips.
14:08Every second.
14:10So the rod works way better in this game.
14:13You can actually hoard fish.
14:15That's not actually good.
14:18Because it means you might waste a lot more time with the game.
14:22Just to try to get 100% completion with it.
14:25When it doesn't actually care.
14:27There are immersively small 18 different kinds of fish.
14:32And you can hoard 99 of each kind in the fishing pond.
14:36So that's how they get longevity.
14:39Fishing is awesome once you figure out how it works.
14:42And this time you can be right next to the bin when fishing.
14:46But it's more fun to do farming.
14:48Because that's what you're playing a farming game for.
14:51And with farming you get to actually move around.
14:54Instead of just sitting in the same spot.
14:56This is the best fishing system in all of Harvest Moon.
15:01The way this is handled where it rewards timing.
15:04Is actually pretty exciting and rewarding.
15:06All it really needs to be better is a bag or basket.
15:10I hate having to constantly go back to the bin.
15:14As usual it's random which fish you catch.
15:16And there seems to be only two fishing spots.
15:19So it's only a matter of time before you get them all if you're trying.
15:23All of the fish are blue.
15:25It feels even more pointless that there's so many different names of fish.
15:29And the fact that you can't cook.
15:31Means you don't have to spend a billion years cooking them.
15:35It's so much more streamlined.
15:37I wish I could just pick up and move the shipping bins.
15:41It sucks that the game insists on asking you for confirmation on some things you'd always want to say yes to.
15:47Like take out this fish.
15:49It wastes your time.
15:51You need to put fish in the pond to ship them the next day if you're fishing past 5pm.
15:56It's so convenient for an 8-bit game that you wouldn't expect that at first.
16:01Usually you just expect the sign to say where you are.
16:04So why would you check the sign in front of the pond and find out what it's actually for?
16:10Sadly, you're only allowed to buy animals when you have enough grass planted and fodder.
16:15Unlike in the previous game, they ramped that up to 11 to the point of making it look like the Clark refusing to sell you animals had serious problems.
16:24Seriously, I couldn't count all the times I cursed that green-haired weirdo out and called him out on how fucking weird he was for not selling me a goddamn animal already.
16:34They shouldn't force a pasture on you.
16:36It's a lot more satisfying when you think to do it yourself to get free fodder.
16:42Too bad it's impossible to get rid of a square of grass.
16:46It wouldn't be so bad if he at least told me exactly how much grass I had to have.
16:51So I wouldn't constantly have my time wasted by failing to buy something.
16:55I ended up buying a chicken after a hundred fodder.
16:59Chicken's hitboxes are a bit too big.
17:02And you can only get a more profitable golden chicken by trading again.
17:06So again, fuck that game design.
17:09But at least there are golden chickens in the game.
17:13I love that after the end of the season, the crops don't wilt and force me to get rid of their dried out weed forms.
17:20That's the case for a lot of the older games.
17:23But it's just so common sense that they don't force you to do this that it's easy to forget to mention it.
17:29Like the fact that you don't have to wait a couple seconds before you can move again after giving someone a gift.
17:36Because you shouldn't have to compliment the game on doing what it's supposed to do.
17:40Speaking of that, I love that when you have a seed and buy more of the same kind, you end up with, say, one bag of a large amount of seeds.
17:49Rather than ending up with two bags of the same seed variety wasting space.
17:54It's like complimenting the game for being programmed correctly.
17:57But it's hard to figure out what's complimenting the game what it's supposed to do.
18:01At a certain point, I'd barely compliment the games at all if I never complimented on that.
18:07I think the tomatoes look distractingly bad.
18:11If you ask the carpenter to go to your house, he'll force it to be sunny when he shows up.
18:16Which cancels out the blizzard or typhoon.
18:20You can actually get the 20 melons event twice.
18:24A guide told me that he pays you more for the melons than you normally get.
18:28Apparently, if you ship too many of the melons, it won't actually count it.
18:34He insisted that if I ship non-melons, it'll just cause problems.
18:39If you don't put enough melons in, his text annoyingly has him say that he can understand because it was a tall order.
18:47When my farm clearly had more melons than I could have put in the bin.
18:51Couldn't he have harvested that last melon himself?
18:54Ken should have said to you at the start that it'll pay you more for the melons than you would get from the buyer.
18:59I like the idea of this though.
19:02And the melons is the most profitable crop anyways.
19:05So it's very convenient that he asks for them.
19:08Well, at least you can only have up to 4 cows and sheep.
19:12That's a compliment because friends in Mineral Town letting you have 16 animals in your barn really dragged out the days in comparison.
19:21I love that every cow in mine looks unique.
19:24And I wish every Harvest Moon game did this.
19:27Not that this makes the ranching fun.
19:30Obviously you don't have the max animal infection exploit in this game.
19:35They don't get a ridiculous infection boost from medicine.
19:39Melons being multi-harvest is also confusing.
19:42Like how eggplants are single harvests on the Game Boy Color.
19:46You get the horse as a mare for free.
19:49And it's unique that the horse is white.
19:52But it looks weird when it's facing south.
19:55It also looks like it's got a skull mask like a demonic horse.
19:59The super hammer is gone after you expand your house.
20:04You'll get it long after you've already used the hammer for everything you would ever use it for.
20:09Why did I have to talk to the lumberjack Ken in order to get the super hammer?
20:14I never would have thought to do that.
20:16The treasure map is sadly part of a really poorly designed quest that's impossible to complete because it requires trading to get the other half of it.
20:26It's so insulting and could have very easily not been split in half.
20:31The billboard spoiled for me that the map was a slide puzzle.
20:35I sucked at those and other games and never really gave them a chance.
20:39You can't just dig where the miracle gloves are supposed to be.
20:43You have to be told where it is first, which is dumb.
20:47And the dicks who lazily ported this game to the Virtual Console were too lazy to just put the miracle gloves in your toolbox by default, which would show actual consideration for people.
20:58If they thought the miracle gloves were a great idea, why the hell didn't they just let you buy it at a store?
21:05So you're really better off just game sharking into your inventory.
21:09What is the point of the franchise having two makers if cheese and butter are both worth the same?
21:16Which has been the case since the beginning.
21:18It would be a newbie's trap if one was more profitable than the other because you wouldn't know which to make.
21:25You might as well save butter maker for the last thing you buy.
21:29I've been befriending the villagers as well.
21:32Most of the time the only way to raise affection with people is to talk to them.
21:36But that's much more convenient than having to look up what gifts they like the most.
21:41Mary asks me to go to the mountain with her.
21:44Not specifying the time.
21:46And we buried a time capsule.
21:48And I got a bunch of messages I was able to choose.
21:51Of course, I chose I love Mary.
21:53And three years from now she'll open it up because apparently she was planning on that.
21:58I hope she has a good response.
22:01I'm glad I can watch the full moon with her.
22:03It's like they knew.
22:05And I like that she said thank you very much when I gave her a berry in town on Sunday.
22:10It's mean that nobody's outside when it rains.
22:13Because you can only give gifts to people when they occasionally happen to be outside.
22:18I read all the Q&A.
22:21Enough to learn that you apparently need to build a hothouse in order to grow flowers and herbs.
22:27Which is weird because I don't remember needing to build one to grow them in Harvest Moon 64.
22:32It also told me that I need to harvest them with the scissors out of nowhere.
22:36That's at least an interesting change of pace.
22:39And I guess it's realistic and immersive.
22:43You can only have four tools at once.
22:46So whenever you need to harvest flowers or herbs.
22:49You always have to go all the way back to your house to get the scissors.
22:53But using the scissors costs stamina of course.
22:56And that's when this harvesting method becomes an actual problem.
23:00I hate that you have to buy flower pots.
23:04You'd think they just come with a hothouse.
23:07I do love that the greenhouse exists though.
23:10So where was this in Friends of Mineral Town?
23:13And the crops in the greenhouse are safe from blizzards and typhoons.
23:17I love that you can grow herbs.
23:19There's an option in the carpenters for building a sheep pen.
23:23Why do I need to build a separate barn for sheep?
23:26Because there's a sheep exclusive pen, you'll actually feel like having sheep.
23:33Normally sheep are in newbies trap because they only produce wool once a week.
23:38It would be better if you could just have an option to have a second cow pen though.
23:43Considering that sheep will bully sheep that look different from them in real life.
23:49It is realistic actually.
23:51I tried to plant turnips in the sheep pasture and was pissed when the seeds just vanished.
23:57Why on earth do they put a shipping bin in the pastures then if it's impossible to plant crops there?
24:04You're not going to feel like going out to the pastures to put wool in there.
24:09Did two people design the pastures and they didn't communicate?
24:12Wasn't it common sense for them to program the seeds to stay in your inventory?
24:17And it's confusing that there's both a scissors item and clippers because I instinctively feel like the scissors should function as clippers too.
24:25Speaking of tool redundancies, I always wondered why on earth is there a separate tool for calling out every different species of animal to graze?
24:34I never used those tools anyways.
24:37So why'd they include three different options for feeding animals?
24:41I bought all the medicines for animals in feed and discovered that, one, you actually aren't given the option at all to buy a miracle potion if you have four cows or sheep.
24:51Why is there sheep medicine and cow medicine?
24:55Wasn't it quicker to just program one type of medicine?
24:59At that point, where's the chicken medicine?
25:01If chickens just don't get sick, when apparently they do in the 64 game, that's weirdly nice.
25:08They already can't get their affection up.
25:10Which is good for the pacing in the long run if you actually know that.
25:14It's interesting that the cow, chicken, and sheep feed end up staying your barn and coop as an emergency food supply within it rather than adding to the fodder supply.
25:24I had to wait until tomorrow to buy the sheep feed.
25:27Why is the sheep medicine more expensive?
25:30Eventually, the player does get to buy the yarn maker.
25:34Which left me baffled that it took so long for it to be sold.
25:38There's even a knitwear maker.
25:40I really hate that the Q&A lies to you that animals don't need to be fed during Typhoon or Blizzard.
25:46The 8-Bit Games don't have animal festivals that increase the price of your animals or their products.
25:52I'm in the spring of the second year and the horse just got the ability to ship things.
25:59I feel cheated having to buy the saddlebags.
26:02I bet I didn't have to buy them in 64.
26:05The horse moves around even more in this game.
26:09So it's even more likely that you'll destroy the item you're holding now.
26:14Sometimes you end up stuck on something when you dismount.
26:17Quality control? What's that?
26:19Normally you can harvest a max of 9 crop squares in a donut pattern in a day.
26:24The horse brings it up to a measly 10.
26:29I'd love to be able to build another greenhouse.
26:32There's plenty of room for that on your farm.
26:35Instead, the bridge is practically pointless.
26:38Most of the land down there goes to waste.
26:41How are you supposed to know that you can talk to the mayor twice in the New Year festival to get 1000 G?
26:47The festival doesn't even happen until the second year, as usual.
26:51When the day of the horse race comes, you're asked if you want to join by nobody inside your own house.
26:57With no explanation.
26:59And if you say yes, another way it's streamlined is that you instantly teleport to the horse race game.
27:05That's weird but compliment worthy.
27:07Too bad the minigame sucks.
27:09Button mashing A and B? Really?
27:12Why is everyone ahead of me? I'm good at Mario Party games.
27:16It's easy to accidentally hit yes when mashing A to get through the text in the morning.
27:20Why is it called Daisy Stakes anyways?
27:23The internet suggests using different fingers to win the horse race.
27:28Winning the Spring Horse Festival gives you 20,000 G.
27:33Which is more than enough to make up for the profit you were cheated out of from time skipping ahead to 6pm after the race.
27:39So I got the ability to spend over 3000 G on the ability to practice the horse race.
27:46Sadly, you need to waste the whole day with the horse race at least once to be able to buy this from the tool shop to practice it.
27:53You would never think to talk to someone twice at a festival to get extra dialogue.
27:59You can catch bugs with a net.
28:01I like the net because it reminds me of A Link to the Past.
28:04But I don't see the point to it because you can't ship the insects.
28:08They just disappear.
28:10How are you supposed to know how to catch every type of insect?
28:14And there are only bugs in the summer and spring.
28:17They try to incentivize it by having your character have an insect photo album along with a fish photo album.
28:23The so-called library consists of no educational books and instead is just a collection of your photo albums and lets you trade with other copies of the game you don't have.
28:33At least the photo album is giving this game a unique quest to accomplish if you feel like it.
28:38Separate from the main story of it.
28:40I'll never be able to get every photo.
28:43It's so distractingly weird how the photos always contain both the girl and guy protagonists.
28:49As if the girl is a canon character who just follows you around like a stalkerish ghost and somehow appears in all your photos.
28:57And no one questions it.
28:59Was there seriously not room in the cartridge to have separate photos depending on your gender?
29:04Well it is confusing that the game doesn't tell you that you're getting a photo taken when it happens.
29:08It is faster.
29:10I don't like that when you're in the album you can't simply hold right immediately to get to the next photo.
29:15Instead you have to press A to scroll through the text describing it after you get it to appear every single time.
29:21At least the fact that completing the album is its own reward doesn't make you obligated to do it if you wouldn't want to do it.
29:30Mary gave me a picture of a flower for my birthday.
29:33I hate how there's more than eight flowers in the Planet album when it says,
29:37Oh wait.
29:39I have two flowers that aren't given a number out of eight.
29:42By the time I remembered it was the Harvest Festival, it was already too late.
29:47I had already shipped all my cow's products.
29:50You need to give Rosie some milk or cheese.
29:53But apparently she's not satisfied with anything else.
29:57And yet she'll still take them from you.
29:59It's so stupid that even though it's called a Harvest Festival,
30:03it's not about giving your crop to her.
30:05That was just unfair.
30:07I appreciate the idea of having to give her cheese though.
30:11So here's how the 25th of Winter Festival works.
30:15When you talk to the doctor, he glitches out and doesn't give you any dialogue.
30:20Anyways, if you go to the church and choose to pray for anything but wealth,
30:25so that shouldn't have been an option, you get that wish granted.
30:29Unfortunately, because bullshit, it'll be 6pm after that point.
30:34I cut all the stumps in the southern field, and I still don't have the super axe.
30:39I had to look up how to get the super tools I don't have.
30:43Apparently, if you keep talking to Daisy of the seed shop,
30:46she gives you a super axe she had no excuse for not giving to you right away.
30:50What was so hard about having your tools upgrade themselves automatically like last time?
30:57I wish the secret garden was the way the harvest breaks.
31:00Who else would suspiciously have a secret garden on my property
31:04that only has a new flower show up when you get a power berry?
31:08That's pretty magical to me.
31:10I'm grateful for every event I get because it spices up the monotony,
31:15and it's not like the events feel dragged out so they don't bore me immediately.
31:20I'm even looking forward to the pointless, going deaf event for year 3,
31:25where you have to go to the clinic for it, or you end up stuck in bed all day the next day.
31:31Because god forbid you're smart enough to realize that it doesn't really matter if you can't hear the music in this game.
31:38At some point I was disappointed that the beautiful Rosie not only gets married,
31:43but actually gets replaced by her sister forever at that point.
31:47I remember going into her shop and seeing Chocola and being like,
31:50what did you do to your hair?
31:52The fact that she's dating Chet comes out of nowhere.
31:56Sure this is clearly Chocola,
31:58but this is the same game where Ken has a darker skinned character portrait behind the desk,
32:03and then as bright as a white guy with green clothes and black hair.
32:06I could never get Rosie to her last dialogue box in the first playthrough before suddenly the game robs me of her.
32:14But at least Chocola only says three things.
32:17Because it's faster.
32:19I had an event where the carpenter was panicking over seeing a ghost in the fountain.
32:24I got cheated out of seeing how an event ended,
32:27because it turned 6pm right before I could go talk to Ken again.
32:31There's no reason Ken couldn't have given me the full details on what he saw earlier in the town square,
32:37instead of me needing to talk to Minister Kane first.
32:41But that sounds like a guy's name.
32:43So I didn't know what the mayor was talking about.
32:46Events should not end at the end of the day.
32:49I assumed I'd get to meet this ghost,
32:52because this is a franchise with elves in it.
32:55I'm guessing the so-called twist is that it's not really a ghost.
32:59I can never get the girl who wants to be a dancer or the old man to say anything new.
33:04So what's the point of letting you give gifts to them?
33:07If you befriended all the villagers,
33:10on your birthday the mayor will come to your house and give you a measly 1000 G instead of a photo,
33:16and Mary doesn't show up!
33:18What the hell were they thinking?!
33:20That's horrible game design!
33:22It's completely unrealistic that she decide not to give me a gift!
33:26I can't give weeds to villagers!
33:29I finally got the mayor to stop showing up and keep me from getting Mary's birthday gift!
33:34I had to let 8 cows and sheep die and answer fine!
33:39Why do they make oversleeping take priority over getting a birthday gift?!
33:44You can buy 999 flower pots,
33:49when you can only play 16 of them!
33:52So to feel like you've fully completed the game,
33:55you have to spend less than 200,000 G!
33:59Boy, the game certainly does know to drag out the ending cutscene!
34:04I was so bored seeing my character automatically plant one plot of asparagus and take care of one cow to snail's pace!
34:13I already see these things constantly, so this is repetitive and redundant!
34:17I don't need to be reminded of this!
34:19It's not really accurate anyways because it only shows one cow!
34:23Not that I want to see him take care of all of them!
34:26Still, they could be right beside it!
34:29Why did the automatic character never run?
34:32It was cringe-worthy seeing the cow be fed at such a slow pace!
34:37And I guess I gotta put the credits with the credits music somewhere!
34:40But it was still annoying having to ignore the game while the credits were there for a while!
34:45My character's birthday is Spring 1st!
34:47But that's also the day the 4th year celebration begins!
34:50I could've just consisted of the mayor showing up at your door to congratulate you and your picture being taken and that's it!
34:56My point is, I'm not being given a birthday gift!
35:00I cannot believe they never anticipated any players being lazy and picking Spring 1st as their birthday!
35:06What a developer oversight!
35:09In fact, it's 6pm all of a sudden!
35:12For the most part, it's a great game for keeping things simple and relatively fast-paced with clear financial goals right from the start!
35:20But it suffers from a couple of major problems!
35:24I think it's a lamer version of the previous Game Boy Color game!
35:28You can't marry anyone!
35:30Now I only missed that by late game!
35:32Because I like getting spent 100% of my short day doing something profitable!
35:37Especially in a game with no bag where you can't stay up past midnight!
35:41But the horse is the most common major problem with this game!
35:45The horse is always moving in a random direction and barely ever stays still!
35:49You're constantly mounting by accident even from a square way!
35:53And that can actually cause you to get stuck in things like your crops!
35:57At least the dumb horse makes harvesting an engaging challenge!
36:02It means you're not really bored and in pain from holding the run button all day long!
36:07You can't use tools outside in the rain or you'll get sick and lose a day if you don't know the rest at the clinic!
36:15The other major problem is that you're not allowed to buy chickens and cows until you have enough grass planted!
36:21And you're not told exactly how much you'll need!
36:24And you're also not told that it doesn't actually count the grass seeds until the grass is harvestable!
36:31So you end up taking it until fall to buy cows!
36:34And you'll be spending money on nothing but grass seeds until then!
36:38Which feels wrong for Harvest Moon!
36:41Because the appeal of Harvest Moon is buying things permanently!
36:45Some real big problems are that I really hate how the cows and sheep are constantly moving
36:51And don't register that you're using tools in them unless they're stationary!
36:55Taking care of cows and sheep is annoying because you need to be way too close to them in order for the game to register that you're brushing them!
37:03So constantly, you'll end up using the brush twice because the cows move around way too much!
37:09Especially if they think you pushed them!
37:11At least you aren't accidentally making them leave the barn!
37:14On the bright side, I love fishing this game!
37:18It's so fast-paced!
37:20Play Harvest Moon 1 GBC instead!
37:23This game has 34 downgrades from that much faster-paced game where you got to see the days fly by!
37:30It's hard to motivate myself to play this game when it seems like a slug by comparison!
37:35The only purpose that days going by slower serves is obligating you to spend more time slowly foraging and fishing all day!
37:44Foraging is inferior because it's outside with further apart berries in a place without a shipping bin!
37:50And obviously there's not nearly as many areas for foraging as in 64!
37:55I feel like it's way better than Harvest Moon 64 though!
37:58I may hate not being able to marry someone, but at least there is a way to completely guarantee avoiding the sick in bed problem!
38:07I'll see you next time!
38:08Bye!
38:09Bye!
38:10Bye!
38:11Bye!
38:12Bye!
38:13Bye!
38:14Bye!
38:16Bye!
