great timing, i got the harvest moon ds game myself, missing a ton of things from the japanese version though
AND GEEZ NO ONE TOLD ME THROWING WEEDS ON THE FLOOR WAS LITTERING EVERYONE LOWERED THEIR FP LIKE A TON
personally i'd rather play 64 or AWL. 64 had way more random interactions but i liked the rural setting of AWL. i also own MM but that game is really repetitive...
did you know that holding z on like the fourth controller in the female version of AWL allows you to own all the items? For some reason, when my sister was playing the female version a randomized second file came up. The name was Xher, I can get pictures of it later.
