I'm still in year 1 of winter and I just experienced the Starlight Gala...
I can't say that I was very impressed. I love the game but the festivals, in my opinion, just aren't very eventful as they were in previous games.

Have to agree with this, also lack of more festivals although I do enjoy the Fashion Fiesta.

Agreed. I wouldn't be surprised if during the firework show if you donate 100k you'd get 3 fireworks instead of 2. I need to get a barn for my horse. I am so tired of him following me around when I'm trying to tend to my cows and sheep.

Reading spoiler and between the lines of what you guys are saying as you play...I feel like it's not that impressive of a game. :c
I think it would probably be only good if it's your first time playing the series...or if you haven't played in a few years. If there's nothing to compare it to...as there seems to be nothing new or different from the other HM installations.
Otherwise, there seem to be a lot of disappointments or just generally unimpressive events.
Am I wrong?

As someone who is playing it, I must disagree lol xD I am addicted as I have ever been yes here and there are some let downs, but my overall experience has been tremendously fun and the numerous amount of animals/customization/bachelors/bachelorettes etc. is incredibly well played out so no REAL complaints from me ;D
Oh and it is my like 8th+ HM title and I LOVE IT! so not just good for beginners :3

That's really good to hear! I was so excited to try this for a while, then I got into other games...anyway, lots of back and forth. I didn't know if I should keep it on my wishlist. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Definitely one to think about hehe : )
And added note, I started a new save file for Nadi/Raeger since ugh I saved too far into my Klaus file and it would have taken eons to get him to break up xD Oh well my lesson learned; I did name my new Farm Ishval for Nadi's sake haha and my new Farmer is Sasha after me : D
Finals are kicking in, so I haven't been able to play as much as I'd like. 
What is everyone's daily routine - if any? I feel like the town isn't as rich in resources as compared to previous titles.
I start off with my crops and barn chores before heading out to collect logs/stones and dive. It's already 1700~1900 by the time I'm finished, which is a bit early to end the day. I'm still in year 1 mid-spring. What else could I do to use my time efficiently?

I haven't touched Harvest Moon since Animal Parade so I don't know if my opinion is biased or not. I wasn't too impressed at the start of the game. I felt like there was very little to do and see. However, after progressing further in the game and unlocking more things I enjoy it so much more than when I first started. I do wish the events were better and there were more interactive elements with the people, but overall I really like this game.
But aren't all HM games like that? I know ANB was really uneventful for the first season or 2...it was like, water plants, look around, say hi to 5 people, feed the chicken, feed the cow, go to sleep. lol I don't know how they get away with it. But I've heard the other games in the series always start out that way too. Until you unlock some stuff...

No he was in year six haha. He just finished the game after being 8 years in.
he put 70 hours into it and finally had kids and did a few other things and finished up. Now he's on to a new beginning. He's never played that one.
I have so many HM games and haven't played a lot. XD

I don't know to be honest lol. It's been a long time since I've touched one I hardly remember.
Did the game legitimately end after 8 years or did he just stop playing at 8 years? It would suck if it really did end.

My guess is the credits rolled but it didn't so to speak end haha, most HM handhelds don't make you stop playing so that's my guess xD There is always more to do, but otherwise I have put 70+ hours in and no year 8 yet : )
Hmmm also as far as I can tell you have to play through each year, I know they did year skips in RF 4 but hmm just seems odd to finish in 70 hours as there are sooooooooooo many things to unlock and it takes sooooo long but oh well xD
In any case I hope that's not true as it defeats the purpose of HM imo : O

No, haha. The end credits rolled way way before. But I just meant he himself was done playing.
I don't think any HM game really ends until you want it to.

Phew! That's good to know.
Does anyone know if the hammer effects the quality of ores you have a chance at mining? Right now I'm using the master hammer.

I finally made it to Summer of Year 1! Lol I've been busy with work to have much time to play until lately. I've already gotten a couple heart/flower events with Mistel now I'm going to work on seeing the other bachelors first few events. So far I'm really liking how making money appears to be much more challenging in this game compared to ANB (I'm playing on Veteran mode by the way).
I also briefly started a boy file (I did this in ANB as well and I like it, cause when I get sick of what I have to do in my other file I can switch it up). Not to mention going for a bachelorette is really fun too! I've only just finished the tutorials and fixed up his old shack of a house (That terrible hat of his and hair style had to go!) but I've stopped at that for now. I'll likely see the first few heart/flower events for all the bachelorettes while I wait for Agate to be unlocked as I think that's who I'll have him going for.
