BOKUJOU MONOGATARI: KOROBOKKURU STATION Harvest Moon: Sprite Station A Translation Guide and FAQ by Myah/Koji Version .30 PLEASE REPORT SPELLING AND INACCURACY ERRORS TO koji2009@netscape.net This guide is a work in progress. If you are willing to donate any information on this list that is not already on the guide Or you think there is something important I need to add, please send your Q&C to the e-mail above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A foreword: This is the first time I have written either a FAQ or a translation guide. My japanese is definitely not that greatest. But I know many people were looking for some serious help in playing this on Cher's forums so I have decided to write up this guide. This guide will assume you have played a harvest moon before and you know the basics behind the farming system (that is plowing, planting, watering, and harvesting) To view this faq correctly, you will need japanese language support installed on your computer. You can still use this guide without it, but you may not be able to find the menus as easily. For instructions on how to add japanese language support to your PC http://www.nihongo-ok.com/ (scroll down the page until you see "Gon method", then follow the instructions. (thanks Cher ^_^)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Table of Contents: Section 1: Getting started 00001 Legal stuffs 000A1 What's New 000B1 How to use this Guide 000C1 Basic Japanese 000D1 Standard Controls 000E1 Touch Screen Controls 000F1 The New Qame 000G1 Section 2: Understand the Menu 00002 Save Menu 000A2 The Rucksack 000B2 Map 000C2 Statistics Page 000D2 Money 001D2 Character 002D2 Animals 003D2 Shipping List 004D2 Television 005D2 Section 3: The TV 00003 Home Television and DVDs 000A3 Section 4: The Telephone 00004 Poultry Farm 000A4 Yodel Farm 000B4 Kaarii's Store 000C4 Spring 001C4 Summer 002C4 Fall 003C4 The Blacksmith 000D4 Upgrading Tools 001D4 The Carpenters 000E4 The Church 000F4 The Television Shopping Channel 000G4 Section 5: The Sprite Tree 00005 Hiring Sprite 000A5 The Casino 000B5 Section 6: Other 00006 How the Love System Works 000A6 Collecting Harvest Sprites 000B6 Other Shops 000C6 Van's Shop 001C6 Bess' Shop 002C6 Tenjin's Shop 003C6 Glitches 000D6 Non-harmful Glitches 001D6 Helpful Glitches 002D6 Harmful Glitches 003D6 Section 7: FAQ 00007 Farming 000A7 Girls 000B7 Harvest Sprites 000C7 Section 8: Credits and Contact Info 00008 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section 00001: Getting started Section 000A1: Legal Stuff Copyright 2005 Sean Jacox (Koji/Myah) You may post this guide anywhere you would like as long as you follow theese conditions: 1) You do not alter the guide in any way 2) You give the auther (Koji or Myah, either will do) full credit for the guide 3) The guide must remain in its entirety, with every part intact. 4) The guide may not be used for any profit; It is to be distributed freely All information in this guide, unless otherwise noted, was compiled and written by the author or given to him by others.

Most sections incomplete ------------------------------------------ Section 000C1: How to use this Guide This guide is not supposed to be a full fledged FAQ. I'm not going to tell you how to play and every little detail of the game. Instead, this FAQ is mainly for translating most of the options as well as the important item names so people who don't know japanese can successfully import and play this game. To use this guide, return to the index at the top of the page. You simply have to search for the code connected to each section. For example the sprite tree is listed as item 00005. Simply click "edit -> find" in your web browser or text editing program and type 00005 in the search and it should bring you to the "Sprite Tree" section. ------------------------------------------ Section 000D1: Japanese Basics Here I will go over some basic words that you will encounter throughout the game. ------------ はる - Spring なつ - Summer あき - Autumn ふゆ - Winter 日 - Sunday 月 - Monday 火 - Tuesday 水 - Wednesday 木 - Thursday 金 - Friday 土 - Saturday はい - Yes いいえ - No (thanks to Eponick) ------------------------------------------ Section 000E1: Regular controls. D-pad - used to move jack and the cursor on screen Start - paused the game Select - N/A A - Used to pick up and drop items and confirm menu options B - Pressing and holding this button causes your character to run. Also cancels menu options Y - Uses the tool currently equipped X - Eats whatever is currently in the players hands if it is edible. L - Used to whistle R - Used in the following conjunctions R+A - switches the item you are holding R+B - switches through your tools R+Y - switches through your tools in reverse order R+X - switches your equipped special item ------------------------------------------ Section 000F1: Touch Screen Controls The touchscreen is a mixed blessing. It makes moving items around easier, but it also adds to a lot of frustration as you must use a stylus. The points are too small to try using your fingers or any other object and this can slow down the game (especially since you can't pause while you are messing in the menu) In the menu the touch screen is used to select objects and to equip/unequip items. In "touch" mode the stylus is used to "pet" your animals and raise their hearts ------------------------------------------ Section 000G1: The new game When you start a new game the harvest goddess will greet you and ask you following questions in this order. Your Name Your birthdate Your farm's name Your Dog's name and finally your Cat's name For all the questions that require the entering of a name you can choose from Hiragana (top option on the left side) katakana (2nd option from the top) roomaji (or english letters. It's the third option from the top). After you are done typing in your name click "end" (final option). You will then be asked to confirm your action. The top option is Yes （はい） while the bottom option is no (いいえ）. For your birthday you may choose from one of 4 seasons. Spring (春) Summer(夏) Fall(秋) and winter(冬) and then any day of that month. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section 00002: Understanding the menu Section 000A2: Save menu The save menu is a very straight forward page. There are 4 bits of text. セーブ (save) ロード(load) その１(save1) その２（save2) To save a game click on セーブ then click on either その１ or その２ depending on which save slot you want to use It will then come up with a confirmation. If you want to save move the cursor to はい (yes) and hit A. If you changed your mind put the cursor on いいえ (no) and click A. To load, you just click load and then which slot you wish to load. ------------------------------------------ Section 000B2: Rucksack The ruck sack menu is partitioned off into 2 sides. The smaller left side shows your 3 equip slots. Red is for tools Green is for items you pick up Blue is for special items. On the right is everything in your inventory. You start off with only 1 page, but you can buy 2 additional pages via Kaarii's shop (see section 000C4) To equip an item manually you can either drag it from it's slot to the correct equip slot, or you can click on it once then click on the spot you want it to go. To seperate a single item from a bunch of items, double tap (may take several attempts) it. To switch rucksack pages after you've bought them, click the up or down arrows on the right side of the menu. ------------------------------------------ Section 000C2: The Map Forgive me, I'm not good at making ASCII maps so for the time being I'm going to have to just use a JPEG ^_^ http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v336/Koji2009/SS.jpg 1. Mansion and Witch Hutt 0 fields 2. Your farm 1 field 3. Goddess Pond and Sprite Station 1 field 4. Water Fall and Kaain's dig site/Mine 2 fields 5. In town: Mite Mite Inn, bar, and 3 houses 4 fields 6. Bess' Farm 0 fields 7. Town outskirts. Pyrotechnicians house, artists house, scientists house, hippies house4 fields 8. Old Man's house. 1 field 9. Beach and Ain's restaurant in summer. 0 fields The map in SS is much more useful then the maps of previous games. Besides seeing where you are, you can see where everyone is in an area. Simply click on an area of map to zoom in. You can see who's there and what they are doing in real time. ------------------------------------------ Section 000D2: Statistics This page keeps track of everything you've done in the game. How many animals you have, their heart levels, how much money you have, etc. From top to bottom are as follows current money your character your dog your cat your horse how many poultry you have poultry feed live stock livestock feed sprites found Sprite leaders found books found wood peices in storage buildings currently built gold logs in storage fish caught trading cards how many items you've dug up Click on each one to get a more detailed report. For space sake I am only writing up on the more "important" statistics. I'll try and add the others at a later time. ------------------------------------------ Section 001D2: Money Clicking on the picture of money on the left side brings up the money statistics. There are 3 pages Top page: This gives details analysis of your earnings and spendings in the current season as well as your total season earnings and expenditures Middle Page: Let's you see the total gain and loss in every season. Final page: This shows the days you earned the most money in a single day, the most you spend in a single day, your most profitable season, and the season you spent the most money in. ------------------------------------------ Section 002D2: Character Clicking the picture of your character brings up your characters status. This shows the current level of experience on each tool as well as how many Casino Medals you currently have. Section 003D2: Animals Here you click on the animal that you want to see the health/friendship status off. Your Dog, Cat, and Horse can never get sick so clicking on their pictures merely brings up their love meter. Chicken, ducks, cows, and sheep all can get sick. Clicking on their picture brings up the option to click on a specific animal and see their hearts and their health. ------------------------------------------ Section 004D2: Shipping List The shipping list shows how many and of what kinds of things you have put in your shipping bin. You access it by clicking the crate with apples in it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section 00003: The TV Unlike the Television of Friends of Mineral Town, in Korobokkuru Station the TV is with you at all times. Unless previous iterations, there are 9 channels instead of the measly 4 Channel 1 Weather: Shows the weather for the next day Channel 2 Television Shopping: Shows items you can buy over the phone. Channel 3 Sprite info: Gives information on harvest sprites Channel 4 Animal Information: Channel 5 Music: Change the music to any records you have bought. Channel 6 NEWS: Discusses upcoming events in Forget Me Not Valley Channel 7 Mystery: Showing the highest quality entertainment programs! Channel 8 Help channel: Information to help you out on your farm. Channel 9 Quiz: No one has yet unlocked this channel... ------------------------------------------ Section 000A3: Home Television and DVDs Although you do not start with a TV for your house, you can purchase one from Van the merchant as well as a DVD player and DVDs to play on it. It doesn't get the sprite station channels. You can purchase the DVDs from various shows that were on FoMT. Details on the price listed in Van's Shop. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section 00004: The telephone The most important shopping tool in the game is the telephone. 99% of your shopping will be done through it. Many of you will be reading this section of the faq just for the menu translations... I heavily suggest that you have japanese language support installed so you can actually see what the menus look like in japanese. Sometimes they do change position as new things are added/removed. You have been warned. The Telephone numbers are as follows. にわとりりあ→Poultry Farm (buy chickens here) ヨーデル牧場→Yodel farm (buy live stock here) ぜっか屋→Kaarii's Shop (buy seeds and cooking supplies here) 鍛冶屋せいバラ→The Blacksmith (upgrade tools and has livestock care tools) ***ゴッツ→The Carpenter (constructs things) 教会→The Church (used to uncursing tools) テレビショッピング→Television Shopping (where you order stuff from the TV) ------------------------------------------ Section 000A4: The Poultry Farm Here you can buy chickens and everything you need to take care of them (except the chicken coop ^_^) and is open from 11AM to 5PM 1st option→Chicken Feed 10G 2nd option→medicine 1000G 鶏を買う→buy a chicken 1500G 鶏を安る→sell a chicken (varies) (need a chicken for this to appear) アヒル買う→buy a duck 2000G (need a pond for this to appear) アヒル安る→sell a duck (varies) (need a duck for this to appear) ------------------------------------------ Section 000B4: Yodel Farm This is where you buy your cows and sheep. 11am - 5pm 1st option→Grass/Hay (animal fodder) 20G (used in constructing the cheapest buildings) 2nd option→medicine 1000G 牛を買う→Buy a cow 5000G 羊を買う→Buy a sheep 4000G 牛を安る→Sell a cow (varies) (need a cow for this to appear) 羊を安る→sell a sheep (varies) (need a sheep for this to appear) cow head→miracle cow potion 3500 sheep head→miracle sheep potion 3000 bell 500 ------------------------------------------ Section 000C4: Kaarii's Shop You will buy most of your seeds here.

After you choose the material you want, you get the next choice. "Build with supplies you have" "Build without supplies" "Cancel" (やっぱやめる） If you have all the wood/stone/etc you need to build the structure it's much cheaper. If you do not have the material you can choose to build without the supplies in which case you are charged extra for the supplies to build the building. Building material # cost with & w/o: grass/hay wood stone gold -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Chicken coop 420 500/8900 5000/26000 10000/94000 na/42100000 Animal barn 500 680/10680 6800/31800 13000/101300 na/50130000 Silo 100 na/2200 2000/7000 4000/24000 na/1004000 Mushroom House 300 na/7000 na/25000 na/35000 na/30200000 Maker building 360 3000/10200 30000/48000 60000/132000 na/36600000 Wood Storage Bin 100 na/2200 2000/7000 4000/24000 na/1004000 Stone Storage Bin 100 na/2200 2000/7000 4000/24000 na/1004000 Gold Storage Bin 100 2000/4000 20000/25000 40000/60000 na/1040000 Pond 600 100000/220000 demolish --- 2000 House upgrades will be added once I have obtained them. ------------------------------------------ Section 000F4: The Church The church offers 2 services.

The first and main section is where you get your slaves... err... sprite friends to help you out with chores. The back section contains the Casino where you go to gamble away your money and earn fabulous prizes (like the teleport necklace) ------------------------------------------ Section 000A5: Hiring Sprites Go to the main desk as you enter and the sprite behind the counter will ask if you want the sprites to help you. Certain sprites specialize in certain tasks. The more sprites you have of one type and the more they like you, the better and faster they'll work. There are 7 teams you can hire To give individual sprites a gift you either have to give them the gift while they are out in the fields working for you, or you can go up to the dolls on the counter and try giving the gift. A menu will appear with all the names of the different sprites. Choose the sprite by their name and how much of the gift you want to give them. You can only hire 1 group of sprites to work in 1 area at a time and the most sprite groups you can have working at once is limited to 2. To hire a sprite group go talk to the sprite at the front counter in the Sprite Tree. To hire a sprite go up to the counter and talk to the sprite called Gattsu　（ガ ッツ）. A list of sprite teams will appear. Their name and functions below Japanese name English name Color Task Cost (per day) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- どうぶつテーム えさ Animal Team-feeding Red Feeds animals 50Medals しざい＊めテーム Clearing Team Orange Clear rocks/tree branches 10Medals どうぶつテーム　ブラシ Animal Team-Brushing Yellow Brushes your animals 50Medals しゅうかくテーム Harvesting Team Green Collects all shippable items 50Medals かいふくテーム Recovery Team Purple Recovers your stamina and fatigue 50Medals つりテーム Fishing Team Dark Blue Fishing sprites 20Medals みずやりテーム Watering Team Light Blue Waters your Crops 50Medals After you pick the sprite team a map will appear to tell you where you want your sprites to work. Certain sprite groups (like the animal teams) can only work on your farm and therefore don't bring up a map. Select all the area(s) you want them to work then press the little button near the bottom of the screen. Then, after you have selected the location you'll be asked how many days you want the sprites to work (1, 3, or 7) and it shows the total cost on the right hand side. The 4th option (もどる) let's you go back and change any options and the 5th option (**をやめる) is to cancel. ------------------------------------------ Section 000B5: Sprite Casino After you have unlocked the Casino by finding a dealer sprite (see sprite section for the details) enter it via the back room. In here you should find 4 sprites each behind a different table. The purple sprite in the square desk on the far right converts G into medals and also converts medals into prizes. お金をメダルにえる→ Convert money to medals メダルをアイテムと＊＊する→ Convert medals to items やめる→Cancel Click convert money to medals brings up a new menu. Every 10G = 1 Medal. Click convert medals to items and you get a lot of items you can trade your medals in キャベツの種→Cabbage seeds　（plant in spring) 500Medals パイナップルの種→Pineapple seeds (plant in summer) 1000Medals ピーマンの種→Green Peppers seeds (plant in fall) 150Medals ＊＊＊の＊→a book of some kind. No clue on the translation 2000medals はじめての＊＊＊　１→ no clue. Book of some sort. 100medals はじめての＊＊＊　2→ no clue. Book of some sort. 100medals はじめての＊＊＊　3→ no clue. Book of some sort. 100medals はじめての＊＊＊　4→ no clue. Book of some sort. 100medals はじめての＊＊＊　5→ no clue. Book of some sort. 100medals はじめての＊＊＊　６→ no clue. Book of some sort. 100medals リラックス茶→ Relaxation Tea 1000medals **石→Teleport Stone 1000medals 真実の＊＊→Ring of Truth (see special items) 2000medals ＊の＊＊→(unsure) Heart Ring (see special items) 5000medals *まんと→(unsure) Mantle (see special items) 65535medals ゴッドハンド→God Hand (must get above 3 items first) 100000000medals ミラクルグローブ→Miracle Glove (same as god hand) 100000000medals --- The sprite directly north of the purple sprite is the Red Poker sprite. ポーカーで＊ぶ→Play poker ポーカーの＊＊→Learn to play poker やめる→cancel I'm writing all of the winning hands in english since all the katakana are for english words. Royal Flush 500X 5 Card (5 of a kind) 250X Straight Flush 100X 4 Card (4 of a kind) 50X Full House 25X Flush 10X Straight 8X 3 Card (3 of a kind) 4X 2 Pair 3X 1 Pair 1X They point of poker is for your hand to match one of those listed above. After placing a bet you select which cards you want to get rid of and then click option. If you don't want to flip any cards, leave and hit the above option anyways. After winning a hand you will get the following options ダブルアップに＊＊→Double or nothing ポーカーで＊＊→Play Poker やめる→Cancel Double or nothing takes you to a game of high and low where each time you win you double your score. Details below. Tips for winning: If you don't know much about poker, then just be sure to flip any card you see that isn't sparkling. Doesn't matter if that means you have to reflip all 5 of them at least it's better then nothing. If you DO know how to play poker well, look for flushes. They are pretty easy to get and multiply your bet by 10 if you have nothing else to go on. --- The middle black sprite wants you to play a game of blackjack. The options are similar to the red sprite. ブラックジャックで＊＊→Play Black Jack ブラックジャックの＊＊→Learn to play Black Jack やめる→Cancel Multipliers are different depending on how you win. 6 Cards 50X Three 7's 30X 5 Cards 10X BlackJack 3X After you have placed your bet your cards will appear. The object is to try and get as close to 21 in cards without going over while beating your opponents hand. The left option is "hit me" which adds another card. The right option is "stay" After winning a hand you will get the following options ダブルアップに＊＊→Double or nothing ブラックジャックで＊＊→Play Black Jack やめる→Cancel Details on the double or nothing option below. Tips for winning: Know your limits. Your just trying to beat the dealer, you can't always get the best hands. Don't be afraid to just stand. You have a better chance of winning with a small hand then if you go bust. --- The final sprite on the far right in blue is a matching game sprite. The option layout is the same as before. The goal of the game is to match 4 card pairs up before your opponent. If you do, your bet is multiplied by 4. Same double or nothing options after you win Tips for winning: Pay attention to your opponents move. If you have a problem remembering a lot of card placement, try to just remember 1 or 2 different cards. When you find the matching card you should easily be able to remember where the first one was. Then just repeat the process till you win. --- The Double up games are very straight forward. There are two kinds... ハイアンドロウに＊＊→High and low ハイセレクトに＊＊→High select In high and low, a card is flipped over and you have to guess if the next card is greater then, less then, or equal to. If greater then, choose the first option, if less then, the second option, and if equal the third. Tips for winning: Always play the odds in your favor.If the card is a 6 or lower, always place your bet on High. If it's 8 or higher, place your bet on low. If it's a 7 you just have to take a guess. In high select, a card is flipped over and your job is to pick one of the 4 cards that is higher or equal to that card. The only other option is "cancel" in the circle which forfeits your play. Tips for winning: Don't bother with this one. You are far less likely to succeed on larger numbers and you still only double your winnings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section 00006: Other Section 000A6: How the love system works. (taken from a forum post) First thing is to go to the gambling hall and win or buy 5000 medals (buying will cost 50,000. I spent 500G worth on medals and won the rest) and purchase yourself the ring near the bottom with hearts on it. When you have this equipped and you talk to someone you will see 2 numbers. Aijou (love) and Yuukou (friendship). You will only see an Aijou value if you are talking to an elligible female. From what I've learned with this ring, I shall impart onto you the ways to get a woman's heart up. The most important thing you need to know is that you've almost assuredly have been littering. The ONLY place in the whole game where it is safe to litter is on your farm... NOT all the plots of land around town that you can farm in. If you have picked up and thrown a weed, you have lost 200-500 Aijou. Each and every time you throw a weed, rock, or tree branch anywhere that's not your farm you lose tp to 500 Aijou. From what I can tell so far, women gain 1 heart level ever 10,000 Aijou... so when every weed drops you 500 Aijou, you can see how it'll quickly add up. To solve this problem DO NOT THROW WEEDS. Either cut them with your scythe, or put them in your ruck sack. You can then dump the weeds safely on your farm or into your shipping bin. Now that you have got the most important step done, you probably don't even need to read this next part... use the Heart ring to determine what gift gives the most Aijou. 500 being the most Aijuu you can get from any 1 single item. Other things to know about Aijou is that every day or so (I haven't figured it out exactly yet) You automatically get 200 Aijou if you talk to the girl every day but only the first time you talk to her that day and only every other day (I think) Extra gifts after the first one do not count towards love points. They do count towards the Yuukou points. Yuukou points are the only thing you can get with normal people, and 100 of these usually unlocks that characters special. Daryl for instance unlocks his basement at 100 Yuukou. After the first gift that day, every gift after is worth only 1/3rd the Yuukou. Heart levels (in aijuu ^_^): 0-9900 Black Heart 10000-19900 Purple Heart 20000-29900 Blue Heart 30000-39900 Green Heart 40000-49900 Yellow Heart 50000-59900 Orange Heart 60000+ Red Heart ------------------------------------------ Section 000B6: Collecting Harvest Sprites Here is a list of some harvest sprites.

He doesn't seem to come on specific days... he comes around on the 13th and several other days during the month and sell rare items. He's also the only person in the game you can sell items to outside of the shopping bin. ちからでーる→Bodigizer 500G かなりちからでーる→Bodigizer XL 1000G つかれとール→Turbojolt 1000G かなりつかれとーる→Turbojolt XL 2000G 女神の＊＊リ→Goddess Gem(see special items) 50000G かっぱの＊＊り→Kappa Gem(see special items) 50000G 女神の＊＊→Goddess Hat(?)(see special items) 200000G かっぱの＊＊→Kappa Hat(?)(see special items) 200000G あいてむを 売る→Sell item ------------------------------------------ Section 002C6: Bess' Shop Bess' shop is located on Bess' ranch on the far right side of the map over the bridge in the left building. She usually starts selling things at 4PM. The first 4 seeds listed in Bess' shop are the same as those seeds found in Kaarii's phone shop at the same season.

He's hiding in the box that Van usually sits behind when he's selling things. After inspecting the box from the top Tenjin will appear and go to the sprite tree where he will then begin selling rare items. 女神の耳環り→Goddess Earrings 400000G かっぱの耳環り→Kappa Earrings 500000G 友好の胸飾り→Friendship Brooch 300000G Record (HM: Spring song) 500G Record (HM: Event song) 500G Record (HM2: Fall song) 500G Record (HM64: Opening) 500G Record (BTN: Opening) 500G Record (BTNG: Love Event) 1000G Record (STH: Summer song) 1000G Record (STH: Autumn's Forest song) 1000G Record (AWL: Fall/Winter song) 1000G Record (AWL: Blue Bar) 1000G Record (FoMT: Spring song) 10000G Record (FoMT: Summer song) 10000G Record (FoMT: Fall song) 10000G Record (FoMT: Winter song) 10000G Record (FoMT: Ending) 10000G １万G＊→10000G ticket 10000G １００万G*→1 million G ticket 1000000G 牧場物語カード→Harvest Moon Trading cards (pack of 5) 150G ------------------------------------------ Section 000D6: Glitches Section 001D6: Non-harmful glitches These can occur fairly often but don't really have any effect on the game, or the effect is minimal and easily avoided. 1. Often you will see random shadows on the ground with no one above them. This happens most in festivals 2. You can throw your animals on top of your fences 3. The ball the mayor gives you randomly disappears 4. Occationally the orange harvest sprites (and possibly others) will refuse to do what they are supposd to do. ------------------------------------------ Section 002D6: Helpful Glitches Rare but can be very useful if you can find out how to take advantage of them. 1. On rare occations the gathering sprites will cause a glitch that makes you instantly have 1 billion G. ------------------------------------------ Sectino 003D6: Harmful Glitches These nasty little buggers are more common then they should be. It seems that Marvelous Interactive somewhat rushed the game out and their deadly legacy of this are these game altering bugs. 1.Not being able to leave your house: These seem to occur most in spring and winter. I've yet to confirm this glitch, but if you do experience it the only solution is to either go back to bed, or load up a save from the day before and try again. 2. Locking basement: This has occured numerous times for me and other people. When you can build a basement, only make 1. 2 or more causes many lock ups to occur that you can't get around. Hopefully this will be fixed when it's released in europe and the states. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section 00007: FAQ Section 000A7: Farming Q: Can I grow crops outside of my farm? A: Yes, there are many small places in town to plant crops. See the picture in section 000C2 Q: I have a giant crop! How did that happen? A: It seems to be random. Sometimes you'll grow out and see one of your crops is 4 tims it's normal size. Q: How do I grow mushrooms? A: You need a mushroom house. Once you have one built, you need to place logs on the stands and put mushroom seeds on them. Make sure to water them every day. You can purchase the mushroom seeds from Bess and you can only purchase them after your mushroom house is built. Q: How do I pet my animals? A: You need to purchase a Touch Panel Glove from Arisa's poultry farm. Simply equip it and pick up the animal and the touch mini game starts Q: How do you buy ducks? A: You first have to purchase a pond. Q: Why do my animals get sick? A: You could be leaving them out in the rain, or forgetting to feed them if they are in the barn or coop. Q: How do you get the horse? A: Take care of your current animals and Takakura should bring him sometime fully grown in summer or fall of the first year. Q. How do you get the Fishing Rod? A. Befriend the old man and woman that live south of Bess' farm. After you have them at 100 Yuukou each, go into their house on a Saturday between 12pm and 2pm. You should get a scene where they give you the fishing rod. You may need to try more then once. ------------------------------------------ Section 000B7: Girls Q: How many marriable girls are there and what are their names and relation to other harvest moon games? A: 14. There are the Harvest Witch, Harvest Goddess, Mermaid (Retesu), Princess (Kirara), Aafi (Ann), Arisa (Popuri), Erisu (Elli), Kaarii (Karen), Reona (Lumina), Marivia (Mary), Serena (Celia), Nasuka (Nami), Furen (Flora), Muu (Muffy), Q: What does XXXX girl like? A: Why don't you try some things yourself? Most girls like the flowers or the jewelry from the dig site. This is mainly just a translation FAQ so people who import the game can play if they don't know japanese. Q: Where/when does XXXX girl's heart event take place A: Again, you're going to have to try and figure these out on your own. I just don't have enough time to go hunting for every single event ^_^ Sorry. Q: What are Aijuu (love) points and Yuukou (friendship) points and how do they relate to hearts? A: Yuukou is simply how much a character likes you as a friend. This number is mainly important to villagers. Anyone with a 100+ Yuujou is considered a friend and you may unlock any special events or gifts that have to do with them. Aijuu are all about how much a girl is attracted to you and ONLY appear on elligible females. Every 10,000 Aijuu her heart level will raise 1 color. Q: How do I get a blue feather? A: Get the girl to orange heart or higher. Kaarii will then sell it at her store for 1000G. Q: How do I marry a girl? A: You'll need her at a red heart, have seen all of her heart events, upgrade your house, and get a big bed. Then propose to her with the blue feather and hope for the best ^_^ Q: Why does my girl's Aijuu and Yuukou keep dropping? A: Are you littering? Something that everyone got used to doing in FoMT is to pick up weeds and throw them. This is fine if you are on your farm, but all the little plots of land in town are NOT safe to throw things. It's considered littering and everyone in town will grow to dislike you for it. You can lose as many as 500 Aijuu from littering (usually more in the 2-300 range) per item. Make sure you either cut the grass with the scythe, or put it in your ruck sack and dump it into your shipping bin later. ------------------------------------------ Section 000C7: Harvest Sprites Q. How do I find XXXX Sprite? A. I've made a short list of important sprites that I've found and how to get them. I'm not sure on the specifics on how I get the rest. Q. How do I use the recovery team? A. Hire them for a specific plot of land. When you've used up all your strength and part of your fatigue talk to the sprites and they will heal you some. I can only imagine they heal you for more as their level increases. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Section 00008: Credits and Contact Info Myah/Koji guide creator ^_^ koji2009@netscape.net Cherubae of UNoT for all of her VERY useful information and translation help www.fogu.com/hm Mreow contributor from UNoT Forums Eponick for his help and giving me the idea to do this guide Kyledoveness for all his help and information and mirror hosting. http://www.hmevergreen.com/ Covert for hosting the guide and spell checking for me ^_^ http://www.cghm.org/ SPHIII from the Gamefaqs forums for contributing information.
