Thank you so much, it's amazing, and it's been running great. I am impressed and pleased.
The chapters may be long, but you can make it to the end if you're very patient. Celia is my favorite character, so I paired her with my character, or rather the game chose for me when I reached the end of chapter 1.
So far, my character's son is interested in either Farming or Ranching, I think. One way or another, if I play the game right, I can get the ending where my character's son becomes a Farmer or Rancher.
In fact, I named my character Link and his son, Brian. I guess I'm a Legend of Zelda fan, and I liked the game Quest 64 to some extent.
But anyway, it's a good game so far. But the tragic thing is, sorry about the spoilers, the character dies at the end of the game. Sure it's because of old age, but that's not going to be the best ending I see.
Anyway, aside from the above, A Wonderful Life's a fine game. But since there's no freeplay, I'd reccommend Tree of Tranquility if you want a game that has no time limit and no character deaths.
Only one thing I'd liked to have known before I ordered the game is whether or not it's possible for the Ducks, to live without food as well as the horse without either animal type dying in this game.

You get to be a farmer and you get to rase animals on the farm. You get different chapters in your characters life to live out as you please, and it gets to be very addicting. You get to choose whether you want to marry a pretty girl, a rich girl, a country gal or a girl who lives at the inn. Or you could marry all three of them (in different games) and live differently each time. What you do after you get married is also very important. You get to influence your child to become the career that you want him/her to do. He/She could become a farmer/rancher like you, a snigger, a runner, a scientist, whatever. But it all depends on what you do when you can still influence Him/Her.
When the game arrived, not a scratch was on the CD and the box. When I played it, the storyline was as it is supposed to be, but some items that you can get from the villagers, in my copy of the game, only worked like normal items. ex. a hoe that you can get from someone only makes one tilled land instead of nine. Other than that, it works quite nicely, and Ill have to choose between wanting to be a farmer or a rancher cuz being both plus watching my kid? (I want mine to be a rancher) It sure dose take a lot of work!
I would recommend Harvest Moon to any and all ages of people (at least, old enough to read anyways).
WARNING: This game is very additive and it might keep people from going outside for extend hours. So have all children play it, after all Natsume games are all usually very good.
Disk did have minor scratches but do not affect the game at all! Works great and very satisfied!
