There are some events that only occur on certain days and such, so yeah there is holidays.SockHeadx4 said:
And while it is still free ranged, its not as free ranged as animal crossing I guess, theres 52 little stories you can play through, but you can always decorate your character and room and town and such even after you've done them, but they all give in game rewards.
And theres always the Bug and Fish catching system, but it seems to have no puns which is a little saddening =P
Still a lot of stuff to do though.
PS: Hey Bacon Boy
, long time no see.
A fair bit, but not overly huge, its still a confined town to some degree. However you can also enter "Mysterious Times" which changes the look of everything, and apparently different things change throughout your town, but you can only enter this alternate world every so often. Neat I guess =OAnna said:

Yeh, I saw it in the game catalouge a while ago, I thought the same thing "RIPOFF."
The faces are the same, Houses, Some furniture, well, all of it.
The main reason i hated accww is because its crap, Not the game. How its all lay'd out and
how say, A ball would'nt look *censored.2.0* like one.IT would look like a Square (Yes i know its a D.S, But they should atleast try to make a ROUND object rather then a pointy one)
Pointless.

It is to some degree, but they more took the base formula for Animal Crossing and built a different game on top of it, the focus here isnt paying off debt, customizing your house and village, making animal friends, etc.
While all that is there (except debt I think), the focus of the game is more on the magic system, exploring, and doing these mini tasks and learning new spells.
I agree its not very original of them to copy Animal crossing's look, but its by no means the same game.

It's still disrespectful as hell.
Nintendo has provided a system for Konami since the beginning, and now it boils down to this.
Not a good way to sell your game, by shielding it in the appearance of another.
Shame.

You act like every game ever made is an original idea, game companies steal basic concepts off of each other all the time, Nintendo has even done it from time to time. Its not the greatest thing to see, but if it improves on an existing game then maybe there could be a collaboration in the future and it'd actually lead to a good product for both companies. A lot of great games wouldn't exist if not for this pseudo-thievery.
My point is that it doesn't matter if it is, if nobody ever ripped off original games then there would be a lot less great games out there.
The most profitable company in the gaming industry is Blizzard, who got rich off of WoW primarily, which is a blatant ripoff of Everquest with a few tweaks to the formula, and look how they turned out.
In the same way, this is a ripoff of Animal Crossing with tweaks to the formula, it shouldn't be looked down upon for that.

I hate the way that people judge this because it's similar to Animal Crossing. I've played it and it's actually decent. I would say it looks more like Animal Crossing than it is, so people should try playing it before saying "Animal Crossing Rip off, this sucks".
HEY!
I just realized that Animal Crossing could be considered a build on Harvest Moon!
Now sure, I know genres build and build but know I also know now that originality is a bit of a myth in games.
Now Cake Mania is a rip-off of Cooking Mama because it's the same concept with no improvements and tries to lure you in with a female character.
That's a fact.

Please. Before you go typing your fingers on stuff unknown to you, do research. Until then, please stop.Robochao said:
Saying it's a rip-off of Animal Crossing is like saying The Conduit is a rip-off of time-shift. Time-Shift was an okay game, it's not that good. The Conduit looks like it has the same type of gameplay and the same type of ideas with just a tweak.
A Ripoff would be selling a ds game with a different sticker on it and a different case.
