I shouldn't be using ellipsis because I'm not actually disappointed. Summer vacation is really long, so you get bored after a while. I wish they'd make 4 day weeks because then summer would still be long, but not that long.
Anyways, as promised, I have something up. I just posted Yokmir Forest, Water Ruins, and Obsidian Mansion guides, which can be found under Rune Factory 4 on the side.
None of the information is wrong, but it's not necessarily complete either. I've 'beat the game', but I haven't 100%ed it yet, so if you see anything missing, don't hesitate to tell me.
I, in fact, did work very hard on this, but I feel like it's not up to par.
flashback
6~7 years ago, I had just finished 3rd grade. I have no idea why, but my parents sent me to this daycare in downtown called Horizon or something like that. It's not that they didn't trust me at home because I only went there for a few weeks out of the 3 months of summer, but that's not the point of the story. I met a girl there named Natalie. We bonded over our mutual love of Naruto. One day, we took out our DS's. I started playing Pokemon, maybe Diamond; she, Harvest Moon DS Cute. While valiantly battling some wild Pokemon, I started to look over her shoulder where a blond girl was running around a picturesque village. We traded games. I fell in love.
Later that summer, I convinced my dad to drive me to a GameStop in Chinatown to buy my very first Harvest Moon game, DS Cute, for $21. I played that game until 4 a.m. for the next few months and it was amazing... but I had no idea what I was doing. I really wanted to upgrade my tools, but I didn't know where to get the ore. I was at the dig site, but all I ever got was toiletries. So like any decent child born at the turn of the century, I googled it. And found Freyashawk.
The point of the story is that her guides are amazing. There's no other way to put it. They are so detailed and organized, and I think that she's an amazing person for being able to write them. She inspired me to start this blog because all I wanted to do was be like her. It obviously didn't work out, but there's no need to sweat the details.
What I want more than anything is to help some 4th grader out there who can't get past part of the game, or they want to tame a monster, but can't find it. And that's why I feel like my guide isn't up to par. I honestly don't think that I've helped anybody yet and I don't think what I have down so far is going to.
Well... now that I've poured my heart and soul out, I'll be going to bed. Early to bed, early to rise. I think it goes like that. I know that RF4 has been out for a while, but I still want to write my guide even though there are plenty of better ones out there. I'm also putting a bestiary together as well as a recipe list, so expect those within the year.
Good luck in the coming year,
Pokemoon
