The game is essentially a well-designed, incredibly involving test to see how well you can manage resources. The game does start out slowly, with a packet of seeds and a weed, stone, and stick covered field masquerading as a farm. Much of the early days are dedicated to truly hard work, cleaning up the area and removing all the brush in order to make the farm a lot more habitable for the crops to grow. One packet of seed is enough to generate enough income for more seeds, eventually enough for a chicken or cow. The strategy is, of course, how to use the money that you've earned to the best of your farm's abilities. The only enemy in Harvest Moon is the clock itself, and a day in Mineral Town lasts about ten minutes. It's actually a tough time to gauge since the clock only rolls in outside environments; if you're more affectionate to the animals or a heavy miner, the clock doesn't move at all. On the farm, though, the time ticks away at a rate of 5 seconds for every 10 minutes of game time. So, it's a challenge to "Beat the Clock" when out tilling the fields, planting the seeds, watering the ground, and harvesting the crops, a cycle that's neverending if you're good enough. A season lasts for thirty game days, of which the seasons change and the current crop withers, which then requires you to clean up the dead plants and replace them with seasonal vegetables...the sooner you get them going, the faster the income's generated. But for every action comes an obvious reaction: fatigue. You're only human, and hard work will seriously take its toll...which means that you'll have to spend a significant time in the hot springs to bring your energy level back up. Later on you'll discover elements which will increase strength and energy, as well as farming ability (levelling up farm equipment is an absolute must), but in the early days it's a fight to get the farm going. There's so much to do in the game that it would be insane to expect one person to handle all the farming tasks. Thankfully there are these friendly elfish sprites that will jump at the chance to do chores for you...but you'll have to befriend them first with gifts that they like. So, not only do you have to manage "employees," you'll have to make sure they like you enough to keep working for "the man." These little guys are an extremely important element to explore since your hard working will inevitably cause you to neglect one of the goals in the game: to woo a boyfriend. There are several choice males in the game that you can latch onto and smother with affection, each one's affection level for you represented by a heart icon throbbing on their on-screen representation. It's a slow process to get a guy to actually take a liking to you, and players could spend several seasons attempting this goal. There is competition, though, since there's an in-town match for each of these townfolk...and you'll have to act quickly in order to get their man of choice to go with you instead of the canned in-game choice. Animals can die. Crops can whither. Your horse can leave you. But life goes on, and it's up to you to make that life work. Inpregnate a cow. Replace those crops. Be nice to the next horse that comes your way. But don't overwork yourself; catch some bugs and fish. Join in the scheduled town festivities. Play with the sprite elves and build their harvesting, watering, and animal caring abilities. This is your second life. Much of the replay comes from repetition, though, so don't expect a fresh feel in the years beyond the first one. I can go on and on about what can be done in Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town isn't as "more" as the title leads you to believe. It would have been better aptly titled "Friends of Mineral Town Again" because it is, essentially, a repeat of the original game with certain elements swapped around. Even so, it's still a great and highly recommended experience that will last you a very, very, long time on the GBA -- but only if you're new to the series on the handheld. Those already familiar with the original game don't need a replay. Live the simple life as a farmer in Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town. This game is similar to the original Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town, but now you can play as a girl who has left the city to pursue a life on the farm. You'll take part in growing crops, managing livestock, finding a husband, and raising children. สวัสดีครับ ผมเป็นคนที่ชอบ harvest moon มากครับ ภาคเเรกที่ผมเล่นคือ harvest moon : back to nature [ps1] ติดมากกกกกกกกกกก ผมอยากเล่นภาคอื่นๆอีก เพื่อนๆช่วยเเนะนำผมด้วยนะครับ มีภาคไหนที่น่าเล่นอีกบ้างครับ รัก Harvest Moon It is the third game that focuses on the female perspective (the other examples being Bokujō Monogatari: Harvest Moon for Girl & Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life). It is one of the very few Harvest Moon titles to have a cancelled release in PAL regions. This game follows the pattern of a lot of Harvest Moon games - planting crops and raising animals. You may also befriend the numerous villagers of Mineral Town, and there are lots of optional events to view as well as many festivals to attend There is a choice of eight bachelors (five regular and three secret bachelors) to marry. Plot[]The player is sitting alone in her apartment, thinking about how tired she is of her life in the city. She wants something new, and as she's looking in the newspaper, she sees an advertisement in the newspaper about a farm for sale. She decides to purchase the farm, and goes there to see it. Upon arriving, she meets with the mayor, Thomas who is surprised to see that somebody has replied to the advertisement. Although the farm needs a lot of work, Thomas says that the people of Mineral Town are desperate for a person to revive the farm. The player decides to live on the farm, and the game then begins. New Features[]
Gameplay[]The main goals of the game are simple:
Marriage Candidates[]Like the male version of this game, you may choose to get married. In the female version, the previous male rivals now take the place as possible choices, leaving the previous possible wives the new rivals.
Gourmet, Kappa, and Won are all special bachelors. However, the Gourmet and Kappa will not live with the player, similar to the Harvest Goddess. Like the previous game, you may request your spouse to be a stay-at-home one, however, you will not have that option with Won. If Kai is married, he will live in Mineral Town permanently. You may also have a child 90 days after marriage if you've kept your husband at a high love level. Rivals[]There is a rival for each of the five regular candidates. The three special bachelors Gourmet, Kappa and Won do not have rivals.
Connecting to Other Games[]The game offers connectivity with the Nintendo Gamecube game Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life. To connect with the Gamecube game, the player must throw an offering (virtually any throwable item) into the Harvest Goddess's pool in More Friends of Mineral Town. When connected, entries will be added to the library with details about the characters in A Wonderful Life. Also, certain characters will talk about the characters in Forget-Me-Not Valley. If the player connects enough, she will obtain the seaside cottage, the ultimate reward for connecting. Unlike past Game Boy versions of Harvest Moon (and even Harvest Moon: Back To Nature), Friends of Mineral Town does not feature the ability to trade livestock with other FoMT game cartridges.
