Besides planting crops, raising animals, and rebuilding your father's farm, you'll make friends in Forget-Me-Not Valley, find your future bride, and hopefully cultivate a happy family! CONTROLS: Triangle Button- Function/Train Dog/Snuggle Circle Button- Function/Cancel/Put Away X Button- Function/Talk/Open/Eat Square Button- Toggle Quick-Item Inventory L1 Button- Center Camera Behind Character L2 Button- Whistle for horse R1 Button- 1st Person View R2 Button- Whistle for dog Directional Buttons- Scroll through menus Left Analog Stick- Move Character Right Analog Stick- Move Camera Left or Right START Button- Open and close menu screen SELECT Button- Open the map of Forget-Me-Not Valley BASICS: Saving-Go into your house and go to the left of your TV. There is a book. Examine it and you will have three (or four if you have the alarm clock) choices. One of them is save. Click that to save. If you click on 'Sleep', you will have an option of saving before going to sleep. Time Passage-This may seem unimportant, but you never know who may need this explained. Each second in real life is one minute on the game. Each minute in real life is one hour on the game. That means a full day is 24 minutes. There are four seasons, each season is ten days. There are seven years, each year is called a chapter. The first six years are titled. The seventh year will appear that you are advancing from winter to spring at the end, but you really won't. Naming-Another seemingly unimportant thing, but this can be important depending on your creativity. Basically, the only things you need to name are yourself, your farm, your son/daughter, your pets (dog, cat), and your animals (cows, sheep, etc.). You will also name 3rd generation crops when you get that far in the game. When naming yourself, just choose your real name. Naming your farm, you basically decide that for yourself. When naming pets, you can name them after your real life pets (if you have any), or you can just make one up. When naming your son/daughter, you can name him/her after what you would like your real life kid to be named. Animals, either be creative and come up with one, or name them in code, like Cow1, Cow2, etc. Takakura's Notebook-If you are inside your house, go to the right wall (your right) and then move towards you (clicking down on the joystick). The bookshelf next to you contains the configuration screen (vibration, etc.) and Takakura's Notebook. Takakura's notebook gives you more information on your animals, crops, and business. A good resource for starters. Rucksack-by clicking the START button, you will pause the clock, and open your rucksack. Your rucksack contains all of the items that you have. You can see more information about whatever item you have highlighted by clicking the triangle button. There is even a unique sorting system that sorts your items into categories such as seeds, crops, and food. Shipping Bins-the shipping bins are found in the food storage room. You can ship dairy products, seeds, and crops to the city. Takakura will sell them there and give you the money. To collect the money, go to the ordering form in the same building. The ordering form is where you go when you want to buy a new animal, extension, or tool. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#MWT# Main Walkthrough▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ The following sections are the main walkthrough. They cover the main aspects of the game. Cheats, hints, tips, and FAQs will be included. Any spoilers and cheats will be noted, for those that don't want to be 'spoiled' or that don't want to cheat. Any other thing included, you will most likely notice, unless you skip sections. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#TBE# The Beginning▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ When you first click new game, you will have a cut -scene right away. Takakura is talking about the weather and Forget-Me-Not Valley. He's bringing you to a place that he promised your Dad he would take you. You are broughten to your farm. Takakura explains about your Dad's dream to farm before he died. He asks you if you want to farm. Saying 'yes' will continue the game, saying 'no' will end the game, which is completely pointless. He then shows you around the farm. You learn about the various buildings first. After you learn about the chicken coop, two dogs will run at you. You get to choose between the point-eared one and the floppy-eared one. No matter which you pick, the game won't be any different then if you chose the other one, other then the dog itself. Takakura says the dog is a boy, but it doesn't matter if you give it a girl name. There is nothing that happens in-game that would make it weird to have a boy dog with a girl name. Don't worry about the other dog, it gets an owner in the city. Takakura will build you a dog house also. You then get introduced to your house, followed by the location of Takakura's house. You then get introduced to your first cow. It's a female, so give it an appropriate name. You're then told that you have about 30 days of milk left before you need to impregnate your cow again. You now need to name your farm. Doesn't matter what you choose. If you type "Farm" as the name, you'll end up having a farm named "Farm Farm", keep that in mind. You'll then get to choose whether or not you want to be shown around the village. Either way, you'll end up naming yourself. If you choose 'no', the game will not be any different then if you choose 'yes'. You do not get an extra boost in your friendship with the village's people. The only difference is that if you choose 'no', you will save some time in the introduction part of the game. That's all for Takakura's part in the introduction. It's time for you to go to bed. But before you do, you meet the Harvest Sprites Nik, Nak, and Flak. And that is all. You will enter gameplay now. The first chapter is called "The Beginning". ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#SP1# Ch1 Spring▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Now that you have the long introduction over, you can now play the game. First thing you want to do is save your game. Just examine your journal near the TV and select 'Save'. It takes longer to save the first time you do. After your first time, saving goes a lot faster. After saving, go to the bookshelf along the right wall to change the configurations if you wish. You can also get some hints from Takakura's Notebook. Now go ahead and check your TV. You have four channels. One is the weather channel, another is a channel telling you how lucky you will be, another is a news channel which explains different things like fields and seeds, and the last channel changes from things like music and fishing news. After that head outside. When you step outside, go to your immediate right. In the background, you will see a green plant. Walk up to it and harvest it. It is called 'Mugwort'. There is another one near the other field. Put one of these in your dog's food dish. Feeding your dog isn't required. If you don't feed it, it won't die. But feeding it will help it's training level go up quicker, along with its feeling towards you. Save the other one for next time you're hungry. Feeding yourself is necessary, or you will constantly get an annoying "Guu~" message and your stamina will lower quickly. Mugworts grow everyday, so you shouldn't have to worry about running out. Now you want to go into your barn. Get two squares of Fodder (go to the back left to get it) and put them into your cow's food bin. After that, if your cow isn't sleeping or in the middle of eating, talk to it and nuzzle it. Then milk it. You can either milk it by hand, or by using the cow milker. Not sure if it makes a difference, but I use the Cow Milker. Now go into your Tool Shed. There is a door in the back right of the barn that you can use to take a short cut. Get out your Tomato Seeds (and your Winter Breeze record if you want) from the shelf in back right corner of the tool shed. Then go to the shelf on the left and get out your tools (watering can, heavy sickle, and heavy hoe). Now go out to your field (the one that's near the water fountain). Fill up your watering can. Take out your hoe and till two squares of the field. Plant your tomato seeds and then water them. Your dog will most likely be awake by now. Walk up to hit and pick it up. Talk to it and then set it back down. Now you can train it. There are four different tricks. For three of them, you just need to hold down either the square, triangle, or circle button to do. The other one, you need to rotate the left joystick until it is done. Click circle when you're done training. After all that is done, you can do whatever you want until around 6PM. When it comes to be 6PM, go back to your farm and go into your barn. Talk to your cow and then milk her. After that, I usually go and order some animal medicine and good fodder. If it's after 7 by now, I go to bed. On day two, I do basically the same thing that I did on day one, except there are no flowers to harvest. Since you have most stuff done, you have more free time today, so you can talk with fellow villagers. When it comes to be the third day, I watch the TV, water my plants, and milk my cow. Then I just do extra stuff until Van opens his shop. When he does, I buy the brush and the fishing rod, a total of 1000G. If I don't have enough, I sell some milk or flowers. Then, once again, I have free time until around 6PM. At 6PM, I milk my cow and then I go to bed at around 7PM. On days four and six, basically do the same thing that you did on day two. On days five and seven, do the same thing that you did on day one. Day eight is the same as day three, except there is nothing new to buy from Van, and there are no flowers to harvest. Day nine is basically the same thing as day one. Day ten is basically the same thing as day two. So, that's it for Spring Chapter 1. ~~**NOTE**~~ I think of Chapter1 Spring as sort of a tutorial. It isn't a "give you directions, and you follow" tutorial, but it's the first season of the entire game, and you basically just learn...the basics. From this point on, I will only mention days of importance. For example, getting the horse, or getting the tartan. You notice that I told you how to do each and every day of the first spring. After 10 days of playing the game, you should know how to play. So, just a heads up. If I'm missing a day from now on, it isn't because I haven't finished it, but it's more likely because nothing special happens on that day. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#TCH# The Characters▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ NAME-AGE-LOCATION-DESCRIPTION *-eligible bride Carter-41-Carter's Dig-Always seeking an extra hand with digging.

Dr. Hardy-52-VIllage Houses-Mysterious Dr. Hardy makes his daily rounds to check on Romana and the rest of the villagers. There's all sorts of local talk about his strange glowing eye. Flora-34-Carter's Dig-Plenty of folks wonder why Flora and Dr. Carter live in a tent near the archeological site, but this charming assistant insists that it's all about the artifacts. Galen-68-Village Houses-Boredom is retirement's curse. Galen still laments the day he left his job and moved with his wife Nina to Forget-Me-Not Village. He's glad that Nina likes it here. Griffin-46-Blue Bar-Ultra-cool Griffin is older than he looks. His youthful expression might come from the energy-restoring drinks that he mixes behind the counter of the Blue Bar. Gustafa-28-Gustafa's Yurt-Enjoying life one verse at a time, Gustafa is a guitar-strumming poet who lives in a colorful yurt near the beach. Girls swoon over him at his summer concerts.

Griffin thinks that she's the best thing that's ever happened to the Blue Bar. Most customers agree, too. *Nami-28-Inner Inn-Few people understand Nami because she rarely opens up around people. It would take a special listener to win the heart of this quiet and intelligent globetrotter. Nina-67-Village Houses-Cheerful Nina came to Forget-Me-Not Valley to live out the remainder of her years. She likes it here, but she worries that her husband Galen might be bored. Patrick-51-Fireworks Studio-If you didn't know about the patch on his pants, you might confuse Patrick for the greatest pyrotechnician in the world. He likes games almost as much as fireworks. Rock-22-Inner Inn-Other kids might jump at the chance to work in a successful family business like the Inner Inn, but Rock just wants to party. Tim and Ruby don't seem to mind.

Could he train your kid to be an athlete, too? ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#TAN# The Animals▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Now, here are some details about the animals you can get in the game. Just follow what is said here as best as you can, and your animals will love you quickly. BASICS-each animal needs to eat unless stated otherwise. All of the animals have some type of resource or help that you can use. Cows give milk, horses give transportation, etc. There have been rumors about getting some animals that you see around the village, like the turtle and raccoon. These have not yet been confirmed by me, so I'm not sure if they are true or not. In my opinion, I think that these animals are only acquirable in the gamecube version of the game. To care for animals, you just need to talk, cuddle, feed, and basically just pay attention to them. They like to be let outside on sunny days too. I recommend not selling your animals. If you do, other animals will lower their feelings towards you. Only sell animals if you really need the money or if you need to make room in your barn. Now, on to the detailed part for each animal. Chickens-All you need is a rooster and a chicken to start your egg empire. Hatching your own chicks can save some money, bu this could add up to a coop full of roosters and only a couple of egg- laying hens. Cows-Readily recognized as the best money-maker on any farm, happy cows can produce milk twice per day. The big challenge is keeping up with all the feeding, brushing, and cuddling every happy heifer needs. Dog-your first pet. You are not required to feed the dog, but doing so will make its feelings towards you rise quicker. It can also help with its training. You can have either a floppy-eared one or a pointy-eared one. The game does not change at all no matter which one you choose. The only difference is the appearance of the dog. You can stick any type of edible wild plant in the food dish to feed it. To talk to it, you first must pick the dog up, and then you can talk to it. Training your dog is simple. There are four different types. One you rotate the left joystick in a circle, the others you must either hold down the triangle, square, or X button, depending on which one you want to do. Circle cancels training. If you can get the dog's training level all the way up, he might protect your freezer (the one in the food storage room) from Murrey. I'm not sure if this is true, but I will update the guide when I find out. Sheep-Sheep eat half as much as cows and don't demand much attention, but you won't be able to trim their wool more than once per season. Increase their wool sale value by washing them at the outdoor trough. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#CTB# Crop/Tree Basics▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ First of all, there are three generations of crops. 1st Generation: The crops and trees that you can buy from Vesta, Celia, and Marlin. 2nd Generation: Hybridizing two different 1st Gen Crops or two different 1st Gen Trees together using the Tartan. 3rd Generation: Hybridizing two different 2nd Gen Crops or two different 2nd Gen Trees together using the Tartan. Each crop/tree has a different length of time that it takes for it to grow. The soil type will vary also. You can change the ranking of a crop (B, A, S) by hybridizing it with a certain flower. There are two types of crops, one being a root crop (EG-potato), and the other being a vine crop (EG-tomato). ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#1SG# 1st Gen Crops/Trees▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ First, these crops and trees can really be grown in any type of soil. Even though by examining the crop/tree, it will say what type of soil, that is just the recommended type. If it says to plant in relatively rich soil, you can plant in poor soil. Also, I do recommend putting all 1st gen crops in your middle field and all 1st gen trees in your first field (the one closest to your house). Crops: Tomato-Spring through Fall Watermelon-Spring through Summer Melon-Summer through Fall Turnip-Summer through Winter Strawberry-Fall through Spring Carrot-Fall through Winter Yam-Fall Potato-Winter through Spring Trees: These can all be grown all year, so I will only list the different trees. Apple Banana Grape Orange Peach ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#BDS# Buildings▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ First, there are two types of buildings. The first-all of the buildings in your farm. The second-the buildings of Forget-Me-Not Village, excluding those in your farm. This section is used to describe each building. FARM BUILDINGS: Your House-the place you live. Cook meals, sleep, watch television, and check your farm's assets here. This is a really important building on your farm. Takakura's House-this is where Takakura lives. When you unlock the Tartan, it will be stored here. Fields-There are three fields. You start with two of them. The third is unlocked some time in the second chapter. The farther away from the house the field is, the more fertile the soil is. Old Shed-this is not used for anything. It is replaced by the Chicken Yard if you choose to buy that extension. Chicken Coop-this is where your chickens stay when they are inside. You put bird feed here too, when you want to feed your chickens. If you have ducks, they will go here too. Food Storage Room-You order tools, animals, and extensions here. You can send Takakura to the city to cell crops, seeds, fruits, and dairy products also. There is a freezer in the back, but storing food in it poses a small risk. Sometimes Murry will steal food from it. Tool Shed-well...it's a tool shed. All of your tools, be it sickles, hoes, or watering cans, are stored here. The calf hutch and storage pen are stored here also. If you get a Seed Maker, it is stored here. The shelf is used to hold seeds and other items like flowers and dig site items. Forget-Me-Not Village Buildings: Romana's Villa-Romana, Sebastian, and Lumina live here. It's a big mansion. Village Houses-there are two to three different houses in this group. The residents are Cris, Wally, and Hugh. At one point Galen and Nina live here, followed by Dr. Hardy. Later in the game, Grant, Samantha, and Kate live here too. Blue Bar-Griffin and Muffy live here. It is a bar, and you can by drinks. But the drinks refill your stamina. Inner Inn-Nami, Rock, Tim, and Ruby live here. It's a two story building. You cannot rent a room here, but it isn't needed anyways. Fireworks Studio-Kassey and Patrick live here. It's an elevated house that looks slightly like the tip of a rocket. Studio Trailer-Cody lives here. It has some weird iron around it. Gustafa's Yurt-Gustafa lives here. It is a yellow tent. Vesta's Farm-Vesta, Marlin, and Celia live here. You can buy seeds and fertilizer from here. It looks like a farm. Carter's Dig-Flora and Carter live here. It is up by the waterfall. There is a tent, and next to it, a lowered area with a tarp over it. Climb down the stairs to go into the lowered area and you can dig. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#EXS# Expansions▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Okay, now here are details about the expansions. Pond-if you buy this in the first chapter, and it is built by the beginning of summer in the second chapter, you can get free ducks. Seed Maker-you can get a free one from Daryl if you befriend him before Takakura tells you about it. If you put a crop in this, you will get two seeds from it after a few days. Very profitable. Great Field-the third field. It has the most fertile soil and its size is equal to the other two fields combined. Chicken Yard-a miniature pasture, but it's for your chickens and ducks. If they are in here, they eat food automatically. And, rumor is, if it starts raining while they are in here, they will automatically go into the chicken coop. Fertilizer Maker-get this to make free fertilizer. Put two trash items into the trash bin inside the barn and you will get one square of fertilizer. Milking Room-when you first buy this, you have to manually push your cows in the building. But after a while, they will automatically walk in and get milked. Then you won't have to waste your time milking them. You only have to walk in the building and pick up the milk. Food Processing Room-when you have some spare milk, stick it in one of the two machines in this expansion. The food processing adds on to the food storage room. One machine turns milk into butter, the other turns milk into cheese. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#TOL# Tools▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ There are various tools in this game. And for each tool, there are also newer, and better versions of it. You start with some, you buy some, and you can get some as gifts from other people. But, to get a tool as a gift, you have to make friends with the person first. Heavy Hoe-start with. Uses a lot of energy. Can till one unit of soil at a time. Can till over harvested plants. Can till over trees that haven't been fully grown yet. Heavy Sickle-start with. Uses a lot of energy. Can cut down one unit of fully grown grass. Can cut down fully grown trees and above ground plants. Cow milker-start with. Milks cows. Doesn't use as much energy as hand milking. Does take longer than hand milking. Watering Can S-start with. Holds up to 35 units of water at a time. Waters one unit of ground at a time. Used to water plants and not fully grown trees. Refill at the well. Brush-buy from Van. Used to brush your animals.

You have to cook about 15-20 to unlock the next group of recipes. Then you have to cook about 10 more to unlock the last group. If you cook a "Failed Attempt", it will not add on to your total cooked recipes. You have to cook a successful meal. So, now I will list the different recipes from the game. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#WPF# Wild Plants/Flowers▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ While playing the game, you will most likely see various items laying on the ground. Walking near them, and clicking the 'X' button, you will 'harvest' them. There are different flowers and plants that you can do this to. Each season, there are different ones. This section will list them, and have a bit of information about each.

They are Tiny, Regular, Big, and Huge. It is easier to fish if you have the vibration turned on, and if you have the sound loud enough that you can hear it. To fish, you approach the edge of a river or pond, and you click the 'X' button. You will cast out your hook and wait for a bite. At first, there are tiny nibbles on the hook, and then, after a few nibbles, you will get the big bite. When you get the big bite, press the 'X' button. You do not have to hold the button down. Right when the vibration ends after the big bite, that's when you hit the 'X' button. And now, I will list each fish, and some information about each. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#TMG# Mini-Games▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ There are a few extra things you can do in this game. These mini-games take your mind off of the hard farming work that you must do throughout the rest of the game. These mini-games can be fun, and they aren't required to do. Just a little extra items in the game. Territory Capture-when Kassey or Patrick is in the fireworks house, talk to one of them. Sometimes, they will ask if you want to play a game.

In the game, it says that he will occasionally come to town on other days, but I have never had this happen to me. Around noon to 3PM, Van will set up his shop next to the Inner Inn. He usually closes the shop around 6PM. Every time he opens and closes, you get a cut- scene that tells you. There is no way to turn it off. After a year of having this cut-scene, it is annoying, as you probably know by now when he opens and closes. All of the items that Van sells are not available anywhere else, so it's best that you buy all of them that you need. You can sell almost any item that you may have to him. Now, I will list the different items you can buy from him, and some information about each. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#FAQ# Frequently Asked Questions▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Q-If I give gifts to someone other than a potential bride, can I eventually marry them? A-No. But you can become friends with them, and eventually get a gift from them. But you can only marry one of the four potential brides. Q-What if I don't like these available women? Can I go it alone as a single guy? A-No. If you don't romance and propose to someone by the end of Chapter1, your game will be over. In some cases, if you don't propose to someone by the end of Chapter1, one of the brides will come and ask you. Q-I proposed and she refused. Then her diary lost a heart. What gives? A-As in real life, timing your question is everything. Just give her gifts to get hearts back again. Q-I don't have animal medicine for my sick animal. Will he get better if I just keep him indoors? A-No. Sick animals will die if they are left untreated. Order some from Takakura. If you need money, make it quickly. Q-Can I mix a brown cow with a star bull, or do I have to match cows according to their type? A-You don't need to pair the same breed of cows. You can mix them and try experimenting. Q-Can I make the rucksack icon in the upper-right corner of the screen stop flashing? A-Yes. Just go to the configure section in the book shelf that's in your house. ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓#VSI# Version Information▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ Version 1.0~February 2, 2009~First version.
