So far the game is pretty entertaining. Not that I've gotten that far into it, but I'm looking forward to playing it tomorrow. The only thing that really is kinda... off-setting is the priest... who is annoyingly gay (I mean, absolutely OBNOXIOUS). :\ I dunno. It's like... why the hell did they feel the need to throw that into the game?! All of the other characters are wonderful, if not anime-typical.
Voice casting gets a B+. Graphics are gorgeous, though I swear the girls flip and flop their arms too much.
Only other annoying thing that might end up being a minor problem is the animal noises when you start fighting. I actually had to turn down the volume because they were just getting ridiculous.
Still, the game so far is a solid B+ so far. I'm expecting some interesting things. Farming might not be so bad, either. Different, but it's got its own different appeal.
...Also, no shipping box and there's some sort of haggling system in place that I've not been introduced to officially yet (just a brief mention). Still... I keep wanting to dump all of my goodies into a shipping box and realizing "oh.... I have to go sell them manually.... by hand even...."
Oh and not a seriously big deal but still "meh" ... there's like 10+ bachelorettes but only 3 bachelors. ... I'm beginning to think that it is impossible for a Harvest Moon game to create and introduce a good set of bachelors. Still... two of the three that are in place are very cute so if I do feel interested in playing the girl who just feels like a throw-in at this point, I do have at least two good choices.
I say that the girl feels like a throw-in but honestly I'm liking the female character more than the boy who while femme looking comes off as a bit of an asshole sometimes in his interactions. I hope he improves. Because if I go after Violet, she deserves someone SO much better than the male protag. :[
