How do I get treats for the animals?
Cabin Country should have those available for you.
Now that I've finished up with some other games I've been playing, I've played a lot of this. Though, since I'm a total newcomer, then I'm probably not doing everything as efficiently as everyone else. I'm going to marry Iris, and then probably Angela on my second copy if I decide to make another file. Anyone have any tips for doing the most you can each day?
Ah, okay. Thanks!
Anyone have any money making tips? I'm not broke but I never seem to make much..

Have you unlocked flax yet? I know a lot of people unlocked it in like Summer, but it took me until Fall to unlock it.
Anyway, once you do, start fertilizing it to get its star rank up, convert to seeds, plant, repeat. When you turn it into thread, dye it gold, and create cloth, you'll have a whole lot of money.
If you haven't unlocked it yet, I'd just try to plant as many crops as you can and fertilize them, if you have the seed maker shed. It's best to do this with year-long crops, like soybeans. If you have the fishing rod, I'd also recommend fishing, since you can get some pretty big fish in there that go for at least 200 G. Any smaller fish you catch can be turned into grilled fish to make them go for about 120 G.
Other than the above, diving and taking care of livestock, that's how I got money the first three months. Definitely sucks that it takes so long to make money, what with all the sheds and stuff costing as much as they do. I may do seedling mode on my new file, just because things got a little tedious after awhile.

I just want to add to the above post that if you enter your five star flax into the "Other" category for the harvest festivals, you will receive a new branding rank increasing the profit you gain from selling flax and any product made from flax. This includes the golden cloth.
No flax yet.. heh.. But the fish thing is a good idea. Thanks for the info on flax, though!

Anyone know how long a cow's pregnant? Mine has been for like a whole season or two. ;A;

I just buy my own cows now. I ended up having Hanako bred and I swear it felt like it took more than a month for it to be born. Then once it's born, it takes a long time for it to become an adult and give you milk products. There must be some benefit to breeding animals. Maybe the higher hearts your animal has, the calf will have an increased amount of hearts to start out with than if you were to buy a new cow?
Maybe. I'd hope. It was just born today after a frickin month holy crap.

Is Marian a guy or a girl? Because this website says it's a girl but the game uses he/him pronouns and I'm just confused..
I just got this game! I'm still in the training part... It's a little boring as I'm already familiar with other harvest moon games, but I'm looking forward to the actual gameplay. I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed with the graphics though. 
Oh my, I feel bad for not checking in on this thread for like ever! xwx;;
However I've been quite busy as of late, but I'm finally managed to get into my second month of the game, I'm quite pleased because the second month has got me much more interested than the first </3 it seemed really slow at first but now things are kind of picking up.. I love the conquests especially, and I've already unlocked two more vendors! not sure how I did that, but I'll accept it.
Raeger is finally at blue heart, as well! but I plan to make another file to marry Nadi, (although I haven't even see him in game yet.. xwx )
I just didn't expect how much I would want to really go for Raeger! it's really surprising but I like it as he reminds me almost exactly of my fianc?, from the way he acts to the way he looks to the way he tells me to get out of the kitchen when he's cooking. D:
Although I want the reverse confession! because it's a lot more romantic when the guy asks to be together in my opinion, so I think I just need to make the sewing studio to make the ring, and then I believe just hold the ring in my rucksack to trigger it? </3
Ah! I'm not sure, but I'll figure it out! eep.

Eeep, good job! <3 I will congratulate you with confetti and cake!~~
I gave up on marrying Licorice and went after the cougar, Iris, instead.
We're already dating and I've already got her flower up to green. Got the big house to get married as well and it's not even Winter of year 1 yet. Think it's the 17th of Fall. Idk. I need to get the Seed Maker ffs. These low tier crops are killing me.

Ah it's been a while since I peeked on this thread.
I'm pretty addicted to this game, I'm in Autumn of Year 2 now. ;-; I've nearly gotten all of my crops to 5-star (mostly through wanding in multiplayer on Ushi) and I'm just waiting for Klaus to pop the question (going for the reverse proposal) and trying to unlock Ice Country (I just need to ship like 100 more decorations). Honestly surprised at how far I've gotten considering some of my annoyances with the game, but I'm really enjoying it. c:

"Your sweetie does the exchange (i.e., a reverse ring exchange): Talk with your chosen marriage candidate on a sunny, non-holiday Saturday or Sunday with the Ring in your rucksack. If you have given him or her 100 or more gifts and the person has 25,000 FP or more, then he or she will trigger the exchange. He or she will use the Ring in your bag and ask you to go steady. For Elise, the reverse ring exchange requires her to be at a yellow flower color (45,000 FP) or higher. For Raeger, he needs to be on the first floor of the Restaurant and not upstairs in his living area."
Also to whoever asked a page back, Marian is a man, yes. c;

Also @MrKisstoefur; Fertilize! It is tedious since you can only use fertilizer once a day on each plot, but that's the main way. You can buy it from Otmar's shop, or make it in the machine in the seed shed once you build it (it's made from either weeds or twigs, but twigs take a bit longer to process).
Once you've fertilized every day and it's ready to harvest, you take your improved crop, pop it in the seed maker, plant the seeds, keep fertilizing those and repeat. When you run it through the seed maker it will improve the quality very slightly, but not really enough to notice.
The exception is if you make the improved seed maker combo. If you place all 6 black decorations (I can't remember the exact names because I don't have my game in front of me but it's like - black blocks, black dice block, black cone etc) on your farm, it will create a "combo" that will make your crops improve in the seed maker. I built them and honestly it's a huge help, you'll gain like a star of quality every time you make a crop into seeds which saves a lot of fertilizing.
The only thing that sucks is that the blueprints are kind of hard to obtain for those decorations. Two of them I know are only obtained by those special blue requests you get from vendors. I had to save on a Sunday night and reset to get the requests, because they just weren't showing up. And one of them asks for 30 silver (the other asks for 6 adamantite, I believe). ;l The other four I already had when I found out about this, so I guess I bought them from vendors at some point previously? And besides that, I'm pretty sure each one requires 5 adamantite, so you'll need to stockpile like 36 of those by the end of it.
Sorry for the wall of text, but christ just writing this out I'm realizing how overly complicated this game is. What I find crazy is that if you didn't have internet access/a guide you wouldn't have any chance of figuring out most things in the game, like the combos or what to ship to unlock ice/tropical country, etc. So don't feel bad for not figuring it out, quite frankly I can't imagine how anyone would with the in-game information provided.
edit; By crop ratings I'm assuming you mean the star rank of your crops, if not then I'm slow and this info is useless, haha. c;

God damn it. Fertlizing everything is legitimately the most tedious part of this game for me. Thanks for the help though.
RIP my life trying to ship enough items lol
