Wow it seems you've got quite a lot of takers to help you haha- this forum in general is full of nice people from what I've seen. I'll offer just in case you're up for another :] Wahh I can't believe I've found another Harvest Moon fan- have you ever tried Rune Factory? Similar, but different in many ways c: During the break I'll be playing this game a lot before uni starts up again, so if you'd like some help with beginning your town, I like helping people, and I can offer advice and such (plus it gets lonely playing by yourself all the time haha). Have you ever played any games in the Animal Crossing franchise before? It'd be especially interesting if you've never played before, and although it takes a little while to understand the nuances of the game, it's quite addicting--beware! :] I know a little French, so I could probably muster up a few conversational phrases, but spelling is always a struggle (especially for writers I think haha) so I'll apologize in advance. Cheers and welcome to the community!
