@Bidoof: Tale of Two Towns should be available everywhere by now.
Or you can go to Natsume and buy direct from them.

@Gallows: Do you have your farm fully upgraded?
House Upgrade?

 

[Prof Gallows]

I have the first plot expansion. My problem is that the tunnel requests keep popping up instead of the house requests.

and I dunno if Bidoof could import one, the 3DS is region blocked. =/

yeah i can't import, it's region locked... fu 3DS

 

[MDofDarkheart]

Than find out the origina: game maker in Japan.
Because that is where all the Harvest Moon Series started out at.
I think it's Mavelous Entertainment but I'm not 100% sure.

 

[Jake]

:\

i'll just wait for Aus release date

 

[MDofDarkheart]

Yeah, until you get Tale of Two Towns it's hard to talk about it.

Warning!
If anyone named NathanZ contacts you guys with a character of the same name on his 3DS friendcode information..... Do Not Add Him!
He asked to add me on another site than when we did Multiplayer field he did something to my game that corrupted my data!
I had to delete him from my list and restart my Tale of Two Towns game!

 

[Jake]

I dont mind waiting, the only HM game i played was Tree of Tranquillity, so i'm not overly hyped about it, anyone want to tell me what the 3DS version is like?

 

[MDofDarkheart]

It's pretty much the same as the DS version.
Though I will admit to trying both versions because my friend has the DS version and I have the 3DS version.
The graphics look better on the 3DS version but there is some lagging in both versions.

 

[Jake]

I kinda meant the gameplay haha

 

[MDofDarkheart]

Gameplay wise it's the same as the DS version.
You pick a town you want to start off in.
You do quests to earn rewards which can sometimes be useful for other quests.
Some quests involve your house, tools, your farm, and the tunnel.
You can gather insects, fish, and forage for items in the mountains.
Of course the normal farming crops and tending animals comes into play in the game.
The cooking festival is actually a key to the storyline this time!
You can get married in the game like most Harvest Moon games.

 

[Prof Gallows]

And in fall of your second year, you get to own alpacas.


Alpacas.

Oh also, I finally got the bigger bed request and got to marry Reina. =3
now I'm just working on expanding, currently in summer and have a farm full of pumpkins and onions. lol

 

[Jake]

damn want this game now haha

 

[Prof Gallows]

Ended up switching towns, I wasn't making enough money in Konohana. All of my money was coming from milk and eggs, and then every 3-7 weeks I'd make a little extra when my crops were ready. So now Reina and I live in Bluebell where I can have more cows and chickens.

 

[Jake]

switching towns?

 

[Prof Gallows]

switching towns?

In HM Tale of Two Towns there are two towns you get to choose from when you start the game. Every season from the 23-30 you can go to the town hall and move to the other town if you want. Konohana focuses on growing crops and Bluebell focuses on taking care of animals.

 

[Jake]

oh gawd sounds fun.

AUSTRALIA RELEASE IT

 

[MDofDarkheart]

@Bidoof: Congratulations, for are now an anxious Harvest Moon fan! ^_^
As if waiting wasn't hard enough! ^_^

@Gallows: Oh congratulations on your marriage! ^_^
I hope you two will be happy. ^_^

 

[Jake]

I never married anyone in ToT...
I just couldn't be bothered, does marriage have any advantages?

In certain games, your spouse makes you food which you can either eat or sell.
I'm not sure if Tale of Two Towns has the food bonus daily after marriage or not.
I know Tree of Tranquility does.
Otherwise, it just moves the plot along and you get a child/children.

 

[Jake]

Cool, i'll have to dig out ToT and get married haha
