I upendo - no - I ADORE both Magical Melody and mti of Tranquility, though I prefer Magical Melody. I'm not sure why I'm uandishi this article, I just... felt like it. If wewe upendo ToT to bits and cannot bare to see it criticised, au if my long-winded uandishi style is already boring you, then it's probably best if wewe stop reading, because most of this makala is a mild rant about ToT's faults compared to MM and my style probably doesn't get much better. I'm a newbie at uandishi reviews of any sort, sorry. :P
In many of its ideas, mti of Tranquility is better than Magical Melody. The addition of being able to adopt wild wanyama as pets, for example, is is a brilliant one. I also upendo the new farm wanyama that wewe couldn't get in MM: goats, ducks, silkworms, ostriches... I may have missed some out - oh and the fact that there are shipping boxes in places throughout the island, rather than just on your farm, is FANTASTIC. Especially when it comes to mining and foraging.
The biggest problem I have with ToT after playing MM is how painfully SLOW it is to get going. After the long cut-scene and dialogue with Pascal and the Harvest Goddess at the beginning, wewe meet the Mayor and then have to go around the village to meet everyone, with zaidi cut-scenes and zaidi dialogue. Then, just when wewe think the introduction to the game is over, wewe have to work for a few days at Souffle Farm before getting your own property. Yes, it teaches wewe the controls, but... it's a real drag. At least Animal Crossing didn't have long cut-scenes with the characters when wewe introduced yourself to the villagers and worked for Tom Nook. Anyway, after Souffle Farm, wewe can finally have a house - hooray! The bad news is your character is nearly dead kwa the time you've finished weeding, meaning wewe have to walk extremely slowly to that natural hot spring thing, au find something to eat, before wewe can begin doing any real work, like planting crops. If wewe want to start befriending any wild animals, wewe have to stroke them three times on your first encounter with them, waiting a sekunde au two each time for your character to say 'there, there' and... well, if you've played the game, wewe know the rest. It's taking me ages to even DESCRIBE the beginning of ToT. wewe have to wait until the 28th of Spring (unless you're amazing with a hammer) before wewe can even get any animals. For days on end, wewe work part time at places like the carpenters just to kill all the oodles of time wewe have (and to make some money, which is a nice addition). Don't get me wrong, ToT is an excellent game once it gets going and I thoroughly enjoy it, but it's the getting going part that can be a real pain, especially if wewe turn to it after playing Magical Melody for weeks on end... which I have.
The only other major problem I have with ToT compared to MM (other than the bachelor choices in my opinion) is the way time keeps ticking when your inside any building besides your house, including the ghalani and the chicken coup. This means that when wewe have a large number of animals, wewe have absolutely no time in the siku for anything else. Oh dear.
MM was just far zaidi enjoyable to start playing, in my opinion. wewe got going pretty much straight away, putting up fencing around your farmland with stakes (usually stolen ones, if you're too lazy to collect your own lumber like me), fishing to feed your dog (unless wewe find mushrooms), cooking sashimi to keep yourself going etc. If you/someone else accidentally saved over your file in which your character was married and pregnant (this happened to me recently - it was HORRIBLE), wewe could probably get your progress back in roughly a Harvest Moon year... yet MM never felt the slightest bit rushed. At least, not to me, anyway. It was a nicely paced game; wewe could still feel proud of your efforts in the typical HM way as your farm slowly grew and your relationships were built up bit kwa bit... but it wasn't ridiculously snail-paced. It wasn't like trying to make paint dry with your mind.
I am willing to admit that a lot of mti of Tranquility's characters have zaidi depth than the ones in Magical Melody (but I don't like any HM character as much as Jamie, personally) and it probably has a better storyline and main quest than MM, too... but if wewe ask me which I enjoy playing more, it'll be MM, every time.
Additional stuff: I never really care about graphics/art style when it comes to games, but if I had to choose, I'd go with Magical Melody as my preferred style, because there's just something so charming about those cute chibi-like people. I think the muziki in both games is equally good.
That's all. Thanks for kusoma - wewe must have patience to put up with my tedious uandishi style for so long. =^w^= I just want to say AGAIN that I think ToT is a great game and I have happily played it over and over. MM is just my favourite Haverst Moon game. Feel free to post maoni debating against and contradicting anything I've said, though I'd rather wewe didn't swear and attack me with capslock. :P But I doubt HM attracts that kind of crowd, anyway. XD
