...Wait, there's an "end" to this game?

Harvet moon-likes should never end D: that is the worst of fates!

The original ends after 2.5 years. What are you, a heathen? Down with the non-purist-believer!

The Female versions of HM end as soon as you get married and become a baby making machine.

Not all of them, just some of the early ones.  And it was one of the most irritating things about them, which makes me extra-glad it stopped by the time they left the GBC.  Of course, Havest Moon DS turned the tables - there, if the male character married one of the unlockable Mineral Town bachelorettes, the game also ended.  The reason was never stated, but it was typically assumed that it was something like you moving out to go to Mineral Town with her.  DS Cute (with the female protagonist) had no such issue, so your lovely bishie doctor (for a completely random example) would be perfectly fine moving from Mineral Town to settle in with you.

Seems like a game I'd do. Married? THE FUN IS OVER.
Bahaha! I didn't know about that, though. That sounds weird.

Spoiler: Farm, Spring Y2 (click to show/hide)

Finally actually got to play _{in my 90 hours of recorded play time} and got to year 2!

I spent the last week of winter tearing up my farm and rearranging it. I'm happy with the results; it's not the most efficient thing, but it makes me happy aesthetically, so whatever. 

[MaximumZero]

Momentarily ignore this.

Spoiler: More fun (click to show/hide)

Abigail wanted me to come over after 8PM to "show me something". I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I got the letter the same day the Bouquet became available - but the scene requires actually giving it to her. Anyway, full of dirty thoughts, I went over to her house late at night. There, she showed me her spirit board. We tried it out, and the spirits began to spell out what she was really thinking. She got embarrassed, flipped over the board, and (politely) asked me to leave, which I did.

I bro-fived the spirits on the way out.

That's not a farm, that's a town plaza.

[Greenbane]

True. Far too urbanized. Looks like a downtown farm museum.

[Sanctume]

I played around a bit, and on my 3rd re-roll, haha. 

Maybe spoilerish, but more of an outcome.

First "Sanctume" who acts like a pimp, checking out the babes in town, being social.  And ofcourse did mass planting / harvest like a farmer.
I eventually felt unsatisfied when I hit a "tech" bottle neck because I need a certain item that requires some skill / time.
Oh yeah, I learned that I hate and loathe fishing.

need iron for sprinkler, and I don't have that kind of cash (yet)

Second, "Frodo Baggins" who I had fun just making a hybrid leprechaun sporting a green afro, and overalls.
This time, I did a conservative planting.  Technically, I timed myself on what I can do in around 2.5 hours so that my .5 hour walk to town means I'll get there 9am.

Interestingly enough, rushing to spelunking in the mines depends on an event to happen.  Frodo isn't married so being non-social is ok.  I did get a pet cat, and named him Sam.

My Third, "Dorf", Farm Name "Fortress, Favorite Thing "Magma Forge" will be my main now.  Doing balance of sort, meaning doing skills as Fortune dictates.  I still don't do much social interactions, but want to do more to seek the items I needed in the first run with "Sanctume."

gold seems tight, but I realize I am a packrat, so I sell redundant items since having 3 wood chest is getting full

Here's my farm spring year 3

About the endgame

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I was visited by grandpa and I only scored 5/13. A little disappointing. There's a few things I know I didn't get done such as restoring the community centre. I've had ducks for the longest time and they've never ever dropped a duck feather so it made finishing the bulletin board bundles a bit hard. That and I didn't bother planting fruit trees until fall spring 2, so I was lacking the fruit needed for those bundles.

Speaking of end game stuff Slime ranching is pretty disappointing. You farm slimes to get... more slime... I was hoping there'd be some interesting mechanics around it.

Question about void chickens - is there any point to having them? I haven't found anything I can do with void eggs yet. I can't even make void mayo!

About the endgame

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Void eggs are good gifts for a couple of characters, mainly Sebastian and Krobus. Beyond that, they have no special uses, as far as I know.

I don't know if ConcernedApe is reading this, or any, thread, but I've decided to join the war efforts on the front lines. I sold four customers on Stardew Valley today. GameStop does not sell Stardew Valley, as far as I know, but I'm telling people about it anyway.

I've gotten 3 of my friends to get it so far, and a comment I made about how people should buy the game on Kickass torrents made an appearance in a Polygon article, so I think I've done my part. I've been looking forward to this game for a few years, and for once I'm not disappointed, it's awesome.

I'm gonna be honest with you, KAT is where I picked it up. That said, I had my doubts because Chucklefish. My doubts have been silenced and I'm planning on buying at least one copy, and Wolfeyez is probably picking it up, too.

Same. I was a little worried at first, but I ended up buying it day one after only playing it for a little bit.

[variablenonsense]

Personally, it was a day one buy for me - which is really rare, since normally I admit, I'll hit up a torrent to make sure I actually like something before I buy. I'd been following the devblog though and was satisfied it would be fun. Chucklefish was the only reason I hesitated; I understand the need for a publisher, but man. I feel bad for CA with CF's rep, heh.

It's good to see fans of the game helping each other out though. I wish I had the funds to toss a few random copies at people, myself. CA deserves the money!
