God it's been forever since I played this one and I don't remember it, but I remember time and stamina ending up a real issue after you actually managed to unlock things, which took a weirdly long time. Also I kind of hated the garden tour mechanics? And I think one of the bachelors was kind of awful.

It was a good Harvest Moon outside of those things, and I did like all the customization you could do to your farm and the town. It was kind of fun unlocking things, even if the pacing wasn't that great. But I think those above things are the reason I ended up selling the game eventually.
