That chick who's always making clothes out of food also gets in some expensive designs, furniture, and super-expensive original artwork later in the game.

I'm still miffed I can't put anything in my 2nd level of the house. I can carry stuff up there and put it down, but when I go back to the main floor it has warped down there too. I just want a god drat cactus next to my forge!

Each game of Harvest Moon should start out with a 47-hour tutorial that consists of filling out loan applications, insurance forms, land permits, and equipment leasing agreements. Then you spend the next 20 years only growing corn since it has the highest subsidy amount.

If you were really smart, you wouldn't farm at all. You'd just snap a few pictures of the legendary "harvest goddess" and go to the media. And as for Rune Factory... you're powerful enough to kill giant goddamn trolls with your fireball spells. Why are you farming in the first place?

Does RF3 have that annoying-rear end thing where every gem, ore, and monster drop also has a level, forcing you to carry 3-5 stacks of otherwise identical items?

There are a lot of items that are marked with levels, but do not appear to exist with any level past 1. Basically anything that's not edible. e;f,b

Good. That multiple level thing for crafting items was dumb as hell to have made it into the first RF, much less survived intact into the second one. In some ways it was worse in the second one, since you pretty much never got higher levels of ore/gems until you get the hammer upgraded a bit, so it's like being punished for making a better item. In general I don't understand why HM games make it so easy to amass an insane fortune and/or become an unkillable demigod, yet buying a ton of storage space is somehow beyond your reach.

Speaking of which, do you ever get to upgrade storage more than once? I've upgraded my fridge and storage box, but it's still not enough to hold all the ridiculous pieces of junk I somehow need to have sitting around to make crafting less annoying.

Aaargh I can't tame the little wizards in the Winter Dungeon. I've thrown so much stuff at it in hopes that they would join me and spawn magic powders for crafting. :3 Also (from the Raven date scene): Raven: "Do you think about marraige?" Me: "I have a kid." Raven:  Some of the responses are just wacky.

Stroth posted:Two questions. How did you do this? And far more importantly, how can I do this? If you have homebrew already it should be fairly simple. There are a couple of things that can run these codes. I've got all my wii games on an external hard-drive and I use WiiFlow to play them. WiiFlow has a built in cheat engine called Ocarina. You can also download Ocarina separately and run it, or I think you can use GeckoOS if you're going to use discs. If your RFF is PAL, put this in a UNIX ANSI txt file code:code:Just enable whichever cheat thingy you're using as per the documentation for it, and enable this particular code if possible, or just the entire thing if not. If you use Wiiflow the txt should be in SDCARD/wiiflow/txtcodes. If you're using something else then it wants to be in either SDCARD/txtcodes or SDCARD/codes depending on what the instructions for your cheat thing say. Depending on the one you use you may also need to convert the txt to .gct using codemgr.exe, which I downloaded in a rar file called 'ocarina'. If you post back saying you use WiiFlow or you're willing to then I'll upload the correct txt for you and you just pop it in SDCARD/wiiflow/txtcodes. If you want to do this, let me know if your version is PAL (UK/EU) or NTSC (US).

Unless that item is called fairy powder, not sure.

Tufty posted:This code sets all Runeys to 60 in every area. Even if you use the harvester and empty the area as soon as you leave they reset to 60 again.  To really "disable" Runeys, use 14141414 (20) instead of 3C3C3C3C (60), though some flowers will take forever to create (100+ days for some I think?!).

maketakunai posted:They only take four days to grow if you have all not-dying not-flourishing zones (20 of each everywhere). Coincidentally, that's their base growth rate. Also I wanted to throw out that after the Runey system, the monster befriending system was the lamest part of Frontier. Monsters took forever to build friendship with, which sucked hard for the ones that produced products, but even worse for the ones that performed tasks, since their friendship level determined their speed. A harvesting monster would harvest as many tiles as he had friendship levels at a time. Early on this meant they were pretty worthless, but a 10-friendship monster could ship your whole feel several times faster than you ever could, especially since you harvested SO SLOW in Frontier. The downside is that they could only handle a 3x3 field at a time, so if their friendship was level 8, they'd do their little harvest animation once and ship 9 crops, then they'd do it again and ship just 1. Same went for watering animals (who were very unreliable and would never water the whole field). The only ones that really worked at a reliable pace were the stone-destroyers, since not very many new stones would generate per day. Even the plant-gatherers wouldn't gather the weeds, so you'd always have to deal with them manually. Again, it wouldn't be a big deal except that it took so long to build their friendship. At least if you gave them a runestone they'd have a kid at their friendship level, so you only had to befriend 1 cow/sheep/hornet up to max level and then you could breed as many top-level monsters of that species as you wanted.

I played A Wonderful Life on PS2 and Gamecube, loved it, it was very Zen. I need more chill games like that. Having only AWL as a reference point, are there any of the DS Harvest Moons that would be more or less recommended? There are a few, and then there is Rune Factory... help me out here.

Yeah I'm a big fan of the main series and Twin Villages is by far the best DS one. It'll probably have an english release next year. The only DS one I haven't played is Grand Bazaar and it's supposed to be alright. All the other DS games are horrible. Although if you liked AWL basically any of them will be as good

Whoopsie, I found a glitch in RF3. When you do Sofia's first request, the one where you bring her a cooked dish, you can apparently keep giving her cooked dishes (even a failed dish) and she'll give you the 2000 gold reward over and over again. It happened when I tried to give her a failed dish as a gift after completing the request. It would be more useful if money was actually an issue, but there it is.

No wi-fi though. :/ Oh and leaderboards based on festival points and whatnot with the top spots already filled action-replayed scores. At least you get stat boost items when you update yourself to the board.

I'm tempted to pimp Grand Bazaar, but the actual bazaar mechanic might turn you off. Usually on Saturday the bazaar opens up and that's where you sell your wares instead of using a shipping bin. The game has a pretty good pace, it doesn't throw everything at you at once, like you don't even get your horse until year 2. It clips along well, the people are fairly interesting, and it's pretty. I've actually stopped playing it religiously and instead just pick it up when I have a free 20 minutes or so to knock out a day. The only other comparison I have is the original HM DS, which took a lot more work for me to be able to knock a day out in. And some people don't like the bazaar mechanic, but I think it's a fun little break in the farming routine.

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll look into Grand Bazaar. I enjoy the "managing a store" minigames in almost every game I have seen them in, so that should be good. It's like doing my terrible retail job, but I'm an anime farmer instead!

Another possible bug in RF3. I tried giving a strawberry I grew to the town mayor for the spring crop festival, but he kept refusing it saying I didn't grow it. So I thought gently caress it, I'd try giving him a golden pumpkin I found in the desert. He accepted it, oddly enough, and moved to the cutscene. Here's where it gets weird. He then declares that my crop doesn't count because it's out of season (even specifies my name). Then declares the winners: I'm 1st place  , then whoever else was 2nd and 3rd place.After the cutscene I get congratulations and a chest full of bread, and I even get my golden pumpkin back. Weird.

I think you get a point bonus if the crop is in the correct season, but a golden pumpkin is probably so much more valuable than any of the other contestants you won anyway.
