I really wanted to love Animal Parade but I had 2 big issues with it. It seemed to me that Animal Parade was the start of the recent trend of HM games being too long and taking forever to get on with the plot. I had my farm pretty much exactly how I wanted it but was. Maybe 1 or two hearts on the guy I was trying to woo? And getting animals to like me, which was part of the point of the game, just took too long to bring up affection. I played ToT A LOT so AP reusing the characters probably contributed to my boredom with it. I think that the general consensus among fans regarding Animal Parade is that it is the last 'good' Harvest Moon game (assuming we do not count Story of Seasons).

I personally really liked Animal Parade. The long days made for a very relaxing and laid back Harvest Moon experience. I also liked a number of the bachelorettes (Cadence and Phoebie are two of my favorites). I also like how the relationship system in Animal Parade was modified so that you can have additional lines after marriage. I enjoyed it, but I know several people dislikes it. These are some reasons I've heard so far.

(Note: These are some reasons I've heard from other people. Not me) • Everything takes so long to do due to the slow animation (e.g. Brushing, picking up, feeding, etc). • Tree of Tranquility is better!!

• The game lags!! (It kinda does in the farm). • The map is unnecessarily big. It takes forever to get from one place to another. • 64/BTN will forever be the best and only HM game for me.

• I don't like how they focus on the bishie aspect of the game. • It takes forever to finish the plot. • Where do I get f### gold ore!? I've been digging forever! • The characters are so forgettable.

Either it or FOMT are my favorites in the series, but it does have some flaws: • The real world time taken to make progress is very long. A lot of this is the time taken to tend to your barn and coop. Thankfully, when I was playing I was basically free to play the day away, but most of the time that's not the case. • In general I like longer days, because it gives the game a bit more room to feel like an RPG.

FOMT's days are very busy if you are playing well, especially before you have all the harvest sprites willing to work for you and with good skills. I find it doesn't take long before I feel like I'm just going through the motions rather than 'living my farmer life'. AP's days are much longer, but after about a season, you don't need the time at all. Instead you get done at like 4 PM and then decide whether to just go to bed early or squeeze a bit of extra benefit out of the day (e. Crouzet Logic Software M2 Manual there. g. • There are unambiguously optimal crops. In several other games involving farming, there are significant tradeoffs. For instance, pineapples are the best profit over the course of a full summer in FOMT, but you get nothing back from them for several weeks.

Yams are the best profit in fall in FOMT, but they require so much labor that you need harvest sprite support for it to really be worth it. In AP, the best crops are the fast ones, and their one drawback is that you need to replant. Yet you have plenty of time to do this, so there's not really a reason to care about it. • Several locations that you actually walk past frequently cause FPS drops on a Wii.

• Some places would probably cause huge FPS drops if it weren't for the fact that they rotate the camera, showing basically none of the (fairly pretty) landscape in the process. • Walking around is pretty slow. I actually got used to this pretty easily, though. It helps that I like the music, even after how long I've spent listening to it. • The rubbing mechanic is just stupid; if there are any free hearts to be obtained, it should be through talking.

I hated this mechanic to the point that I refused to do it altogether. I felt quite penalized for doing so: on my file that is now in early Fall 1, I still haven't gotten the last bell (which has a friendship requirement), even though I've been giving gifts and talking to the requisite number of people for at least 3 weeks. With rubbing, I would've gotten that with no gifts already. • There is a really nice reward for rescuing all the circus animals.

If you know the requirements, you can get it in the first Fall. But if you don't hold onto something, I think it is impossible to get one of the items until the second Spring. • The dialogue repeats a lot. (Recently, Rune Factory 4 has spoiled me on this front.) • • • •.
