    Man, I love this game because it's so easy to break, haha. A few tips from a powergamer:
    1) Not only does time freeze at night, but you can use it to get infinite work done. There's a hot springs up in the mountain. Every time you jump into it, it restores a bit of stamina. If you have enough patience, you can clear your entire farm plot of all debris the very first day of the game! If you REALLY want to min/max like a crazy person, you can earn a cool 900~1200G and still end up with I think three or four power berries, a completely cleared farm plot, 999 wood, max dog affection (you don't even have to pick the dog up 100 times on different days, just doing it 100 times in a row works just fine), and completely maxed out hearts with Eve before the start of Day 2.
    2) Wild animals attacking your livestock is based entirely around if you have any broken fence pieces or not. Which means that, ironically, having NO fences at all on your entire farm actually makes your livestock immune to being attacked. That said, yeah, it's completely pointless to let your animals out so it's kind of a moot point. Also an interesting point about the dog - leaving it outside or bringing it in, even leaving it outside during a hurricane, doesn't reduce how much it likes you at all, but if you leave it outside, it will bark during the night if you have any broken fence pieces. It doesn't actually scare the wild animals off or protect your livestock, but it can make you aware of any broken fences if you're still using them. Personally, I always leave it inside, because it can get in your way and block your movement when you're trying to harvest your crops, wasting valuable daytime.
    3) This may be kind of obvious, but you can put fences back into the wood bin to recoup the wood. Combined with the above tip, since fences are completely decorative, it can be handy to 'recycle' all of the pre-placed starting fences to get a head start on your housing upgrade wood. Also also obvious, but the tree stumps on the mountain respawn just by leaving and re-entering the area. So, again, combined with the infinite nights and hotsprings, you can always chop as much wood as you want in a single day.
    4) Again, this seems kind of obvious, but since time doesn't pass while indoors and you get infinite time at night, the first thing you should do every day is tend to your animals inside the coops, then harvest all crops, then tend to relationships you're working on. Everything else can be done at any time and it doesn't matter, but shipping and talking to people are the only time-sensitive tasks.
    5) If you want to get an estimate of how you're doing, you can hold L+R+Select when you go to sleep at night and the game will skip you right to the credits, then give you all of your ratings at the end. If you reset, the game will put you back at the next day as if you hadn't skipped. If you're trying to go for a "perfect game" or get all ending cutscenes, it's handy to check your progress.

      You can also max out Ann’s and Maria’s affection score as early the first Sunday while they are at church speak to them and answer Yes to their questions you gain 4 affection points per yes (max is 999) just exit and re enter the church as much as you want to answer the questions.

    A few corrections, animals outside will eat mature grass, if they don't find any, they starve, meaning chickens will not lay eggs and cows can go sick.
    If you want to keep animals outside, best way is to make an enclosure of logs that has enough grass inside.
    You can actually go to sleep while holding something, so you can do one last trip to the mountains at night and get something to ship first thing in the morning.

      Real life chicks don't need to eat on their first day as they still have nutrients from their eggs yolk.

    Something I think is important to note is that the horse is bugged and will not count items as shipped unless your character is in contact with him when placing a crop. It plays a little animation of the saddle bags getting bigger. If that animation doesn't play then you just wasted an item

    I've been having a surprisingly good time playing this on the switch online release! I'm a long time fan of the series but my first HM game was on the GBA so I missed these earlier additions. I can't believe how well it's aged! There's a few quality of life things I miss like an inventory and character sprites but overall it's still been an addicting, fun experience. Thanks for these tips!

    The chance that wild dogs will come and eat your chickens is dependent on how many broken fences you have. They tend to break after it rains. If you have no fences then wild dogs wont come at all, so fences are just for if you like how they look. You can destroy broken fences with a hammer and you can get more fences in the shed beside your house that has a sign telling you how much wood you have. If you don’t want a fence that isn’t broken, you can pick it up with A and then either throw the fence in the water or walk off screen.

    My first harvest moon game was Harvest Moon 2 GBC because I was obsessed with all things farming, zoo, and animal related (I was mostly obsessed with farming related stuff xD). Like my grandpa got my twin brother Harvest Moon 1 GBC and Harvest Moon 2 GBC for me so that we can both trade animals and whatnot via the link cable and that's what we did. But I did get to play this game once I got into emulating games and I really appreciated everything this game brought to the table, the fact that it started a whole genre in the gaming world is amazing. I also appreciate that Ellen is the old lady in Harvest Moon 64 (and possibly back to nature and friends of Mineral Town).

    One thing I also learned, I think your overall score at the end of the game as well as an ending(I could be wrong about this since it's been a while) is influenced by how much land you used. I remember having planted grass for the farmland that I wasn't using crops for in order to increase my score when I was playing this.

    • @JoshGamingGarden
      @JoshGamingGarden  Před 2 lety +6

      Oh, that's possible! I know there is a happiness score that is calculated for the endings, but the game never says anything about it. 😅 Good to know!

    pro tip: animals only get attacked when the fences are broken.
    That is, if there is a broken fence on your property, there is a chance of losing an animal outside.
    I notice that LOTS of your fences are broken.
    Also, you can solve this by having no fences :P
