Rune Factory 2

aka Harvest Moon Shining Sun and Friends

People often asked me which one is better, IoH or SSaF
and in my opinion, this one is better

Here's my pro and contra with SSaF:
(+)
-easier control and item handling/shipping system (main point)
-more efficient map and town system, compared with kinda spacey HM Island, which can save you more times (2nd main reason)
-More map to visit and each of them are have their own function
-Harvest Sprites can help you
-More interactive festival since there are mini games for pets
-New Characters
-Wild animals which can help you, Pig and Cat, More color variation for animals, special animals as well
-more challenging , esp in fishing, befriending townspeople and mining, but somehow i find farming is easier here
-Wedding Gown
-Can visit other people's house even in festival day
-Can change your house wallpaper, tools box and shelf color
-More random events
-Townspeople who likes you will give you birthday present =D
-You can get free lunch from your spouse
-People cant leave your island (but some might thinks this as (-) huh?)
-Can easily pick up the middle crop (you can do that too in Island, but you must stand in certain spot and push really hard toward your crops wall)

(-)
-No rival children
-Heart Events system back to normal
-less townspeople (faceless, NPC one), only 8 non main cast people now
-can only seen one event per day D: (well, maybe they intended that you wont rush to see all events and then get bored later)
-can't ride your horse

will add more later

I decided to begin my SSaF gameplay diary, though it begins at Autumn 4 1st year, since it's my earliest data o_O
