6/28/00-version 1.5
All the sections are somewhat done and I took out two sections because they are
hard to info from. Well, I will add details to some sections like the animals.
And I better check the spelling again. I added two new sections: Items and The
Kitchen, hope you like it!
6/24/00-version 1.0
Okay, this is the second FAQ I wrote, but the first one didn’t get in
so I hope this one will. I will get started in all sections or most,
but I wont have time to finish them completely.
2 Walkthrough
Intro
When you start the game it, you talk to the mayor about when you were
young. It shows you going to your grandpa’s farm and playing, you
tried to make fun of the chickens, but they chased you away. You rode
on a cow too. Then a girl comes and you two play in the forest. When
you were about to leave, you promised that you would come back someday,
and that’s your future girl/wife.
Day 1
Well you get your farm today, and from what it looks like, it looks like a huge
farm with nothing but weeds and junk. Start clearing about a 4th of it, you
will need to grow some crops later. Well, the game passes in 10 minute
intervals so you have time to go south of the farm, which is the moutains. Look
around and pick some wild crops to ship out, or you can go to the mine and dig.
Day 2
Well you should notice your money has increased, so if you have enough, you can
go to the grocerry store and buy some seeds, if not keep on foraging. Your
backpack is very small, but the if you want it bigger, you need lots of money.
The upgrades for the backpack is 3000g for the first one, and 5000g for the
second.
Day 3
You should have enough money by now so buy some cabbage or potato seeds because
from what I seen, the new crops don’t give much money during spring. Well,
water them and keep on foraging! From now on, I am not going to tell you to
forage because you do that everyday forever because it never hurts to have more
money!
Day 4
Let’s hope it’s the weekends, because you really need a fishing rod! The
fisherman is located near the beach by the dock on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday
from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. Well try to get your money up to 1500 or more because you
want atleast one chicken!
Day 5
Water your crops and do your usual things, I suggest you upgrade your Axe
because it wont cut tree stumps, only little logs. But then again, it’s 1000g
and you don’t have the money yet.
Day 6
Okay, in my game I have about 2000-3000g now, I hope you do too, I bought a
chicken today and some feeds, so you should too. Now water your crops first
because the Poultry Farm opens at 11:00 AM.
3 The Changes
Your farm is much much bigger with a horse stable you can walk in. And you have
a little windmill to make chicken feed by putting corn in it.
Your dog is a puppy at first, I am not sure when he grows up, since mine is
still little.
The Girls is already slightly dating your rivals, but they are very easy to get,
because you can change many levels of a heart in 1 day if you try hard.
You need to pay to upgrade your tools, it’s more expensive as the levels are
higher, upgrade them at the blacksmith.
You also get your brush here.
Everyone has been put into new set of families, same people, different families
though, and Kent is no where to be seen.
The Graphics are way better.
If you plant flowers during spring, a bee with come and make a hive, then you
can make honey and sell it!
I also noticed that the swimming festival is a bit harder, you have to push the
triangle and circle buttons.
4 The Characters
They are exactly the same as the N64 version except some has been taken out, and
they have different personalities.
Also, a Doctor has been added, also known as your rival for Elli.
5 The Girls
Ann-In this game, she is the cooking master! Her father owns a resturant and
mostly if not always wins the cooking festival. She likes Hot Spring eggs!
Rival
Cliff-He works with Ann’s father but if you wait till the end of the first
winter and you ignored him, he will leave on a boat making it easy for you to
get!
Karen-She is a bit nicer now, and her family owns a groccery store.
Rival
Rick-He seems to be good friends with Karen, if your after Karen, watch out for
this psycho!
Popuri-Everyone treats her like a child, even her brother Rick(Shock!).
She loves Pink Cat Mint flowers.
Rival
Kai-This atheletic jerk is hated by a lot of people in the town. Just treat him
bad and Popuri is yours, as long as you win the swimming festival
Maria-She’s kind of outgoing now, and still works a much bigger library.
Rival
Gray-He seems to work at the blacksmith’s and is Ann’s brother. Just be careful
because if you come at the wrong time, you will see an event, so avoid him.
Elli-She works at the clinic now, and is interested in the doctor(ugly guy!) and
she very mature now, since her parents passed away, she has to take care of her
little brother Stu and look after her grandmother.
Rival
Doctor-As mentioned above, this guy is the rival. Try to avoid him and don’t go
to the clinic at a wrong time, or something will happen.
Couples wont get married until 4 years if your not.
6 The Animals
Fishes-They are my favorite in the game! All you have to do is fish them for
free, give them one bag of fish feed for the whole group, and the feed is not
expensive! Plus they grow up and become big fish, and they breed new fishes so
you can sell them!
Price-free/fish for them.
Reproduce-feed it everyday and when it becomes a big fish, it can reproduce.
Note-I heard you can only catch big fish in the beach, someone please confirm
this.
Sell-depends on size of the fish.
Chickens-They aren’t bad, infact they are pretty good money makers, just buy one
chicken and incubate the others. As soon as you get the chicken coop extension,
you should be getting about 1000g or more a day if you have a few chickens. If
you win the chicken sumo..which I don’t know much about, you will get gold eggs.
Price-1500g each, 1000g for medicine, and 10g for feed.
Reproduce-Chickens you buy can reproduce by putting an egg in the incubator, and
small chickens wont until it matures.
Sell-depends if you are selling the chicken, an egg, or a hot spring egg.
Cows-They are next best money makers, when they mature, you will get small milk
but will get bigger as you take care of them, win the cow festival and you get
gold milk. You can get the cow and tools like the milker at May’s Farm.
Price-Unknown
Sheeps-They take much care because you have to talk to them and brush them and
cut their wool, but they worth money. Get sheeps at May’s Farm as well. It
takes about 3 weeks or 20 something days for it to mature.
Price-Unknown
7 Extensions
Chicken Coop-adds more space for chicken, adds one more incubator, and a sauce
machine for 20000g with some rare metals.
Barn(cows/sheep)-adds more space for cows/sheeps and a few more birthing
station.
Kitchen-adds a kitchen, two cabinets, and something else. You may also cook in
the kitchen.
Second house extension-adds more space to your home and a few rooms.
Greenhouse-same as N64, but there is nothing to protect it, so lightning storms
and typhoons can knock it down. Also has very little space.
I found out that if you are nicer to the Carpenter(Karen’s dad in the N64) he
will lower the price so be nice to him!

13 The Kitchen
Now, my favorite part of the game, the kitchen! In the psx version, you are
allowed to use your kitchen to make food. Making a big meal will for sure gain
your energy back and you can sell your good too! There are special food that
the girls like too. Be sure to buy tools like blender and stuff from the shop
at home thing from your TV, I’m not too sure, I have to get back to you on that
one.
I’ll make a list of things you can cook soon.
