Man, what a ride that story is even in the remake. But there are still some (bad fever dream) theories I can't get out of my mind. What if Hugh DID kill the turtle and have another demon like himself inhabit it's body. Rock may be dense (harhar), but he can sense that something is off. Which brings me to the main crack theory behind it all: Romana is an immortal witch. She (and Sebastian) seem to be unaffected by time. My theory is that she made a deal with a demon to grant her loyal butler immortality in exchange for a human vessel. That vessel was Hugh. Nina, being no one's fool, caught on to this foul act and confronted Romana. That sealed her fate, and Romana attempted to turn Nina into another vessel. But without a specified target, immortality was granted to Gary/Galen. Because Nina aint playin by your rules, she then peaced out, sending the demon inside her back to hell. Lastly, to ensure her faithful cats would stay by her side for all eternity, Romana offered the turtle as another vessel. Crazy shit, I know. But wait, there's more! Maybe the reason your character ages much faster than everybody else is because Lumina is siphoning your life force. She is the decendant of a witch afterall.

Harvest Moon DS and DS Cute are so nostalgic for me- I wonder why they reduced the bachelors and bachelorettes. I loved marrying Flora, Skye, Kai, and even considering marrying the mermaid (Lola?) but never got around to it.

[@JackDuckGoose]

I'll say this, Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life was released on the Gamecube in 2003 and Harvest Moon: DS was released in 2005. So, DS was modeled on AWL, and they added characters in to flesh it out. Why they didn't include those characters into the remake, I don't know. I would've loved to see Kai, Skye, Leia, and the Witch Princess in 3D, but my guess is they wanted to keep the remake faithful to the special edition of AWL

[@bananabread6148]

The later years wouldn't feel like such a slog if the game had rival marriages and more events. If the marriage candidates started families, maybe the player's kid could get married at the end. Whoever they choose to marry could correspond with their chosen career. Out of all of the HM games, this is the one that would have benefitted the most from rival marriage and it baffles me that they didn't add it!! It's depressing to see the lonely, ageing marriage candidates.

[@JackDuckGoose]

I agree. Rival marriages are a fragment of past RPG's that I wish would return, but apparently the Japanese audience had a mega distaste for them so they just stopped including them in games lol

[@alchemysaga3745]

I will permit you your (incorrect) opinion on Marlin/Matthew, if only because you did such a great job with the video- and were very generous to leave midroll ads off. I do like how they added on to some of the storylines they were forced to abandon in the original version of the game, like the "Wonderfuls." And I'm totally not biased towards Matthew because I, too, have anxiety and a chronic autoimmune issue.

[@JackDuckGoose]

As I actually played through the game, my opinions on a lot of the bachelors and bachelorettes has changed. Matthew/Marlin is definitely a riser on my ranks, whilst Gustafa and Cody dropped a few places lol

[@alchemysaga3745]

​@@JackDuckGooseQuestion- do you know around when your character was sleeping during the first year? Or how often you were watering during the day? Were you gifting EVERYONE one gift a day, everyday? I've been trying to use this as a guide on how to 100%, but I've found myself running out of time, particularly in regards to the fishing at night.

[@JackDuckGoose]

@@alchemysaga3745 Apologies for getting to this late, I was working on a new video pretty intensely. I think I've answered some of your questions in previous replies, but the one about gifting everyone on gift a day everyday is new. I didn't gift everyone 1 gift a day everyday. I worked in "clumps" for the lack of a better term. For example, I started with befriending the bachelors and bacheloreetes 'since I wanted to see their heart events and Rival events ASAP. I got them up to 6 Hearts then stopped, since once you see their 8 Heart event, you can't see rival events. Once I got almost every bachelor up to about 6 Hearts, I worked in different clumps. Daryl was important to befriend super early since he gives you a freed seed maker. Hugh is important to befriend early since year 1 is the only year he likes milk. Nina is important to befriend early cause, well you know. And then I would work between Flora and Carter at the digsite, Lou and Tei at the inn, all the people by the bar, the fireworks bros, and the villa residents. When it comes to actually gifting, most villagers will accept 2 to 4 gifts per day, that's why it was so important for me to collect aromatic herbs all the time and turn them into soup. Those soups along with flowers, fish, eggs, and milk made it pretty easy to befriend a character quickly if I really focused on giving them those 2-4 daily gifts. In terms of time management, the first year is jam packed, so it's tough to prioritize. If you're having trouble, I would do this; Befriend every bachelor and bachelorette to 6 hearts then stop so you can see the Rival events that start in the Summer. Then befriend Nina, Daryl, and Hugh. Most of the missable cutscenes in Chapter 1 require friendship with them. The final heart event doesn't unlock until Winter 1, so spend the time in Summer and Fall seeing Rival Heart Event 1 and 2 for the three couples, befriending as many valley people as possible by giving them 2-4 gifts per day, and working on money by investing in sheep. You shouldn't be filling up your crop fields with crops every season. Making 4 or 5 of each crop available that season is more than enough for recipes, requests, etc. Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions!

[@alchemysaga3745]

Question, do you remember enough about this playthrough that you could make a video- or Google Doc, or whatever- that's more of a guide on how to replicate this? Like a list format of what you need to buy on what days, what events need triggered by a certain day? What time you were going to bed, were you watering crops twice a day, etc? A major one would be which days you did the dig site (and what timeframe) and which you dedicated to fishing. Sorry, but I'm really interested in the idea of 100%ing at least the first year for my own playthrough.

[@JackDuckGoose]

I definitely remember everything, but putting it into words without being prompted is difficult. It's pretty easy to answer your questions though. I went to bed around 10:30 or 11 PM almost every single day. I watered crops twice a day, right after I woke up and right before I went to sleep everyday (unless I forgot). I was in the digsite pretty much every day barring the 3rd and 8th of every season when it's closed. It's one of the large reasons why my daughter in this series became in academic. It's a great resource for gifts in Year 1 and remains a great resource for money Year 2 and beyond. What I will say is for the digsite is once you befriend everyone and no longer have use for the items as gifts, I would get the new items in the beginning of every chapter, then only dig up golden items. So, if I could see them sprouting out of the dirt OR if I could dig once in the spots that already have been touched, but there wasn't any item sticking out, and find a golden object, I would dig those. If all I could see and uncover were regular items after I befriended everyone, I left and did something else. For me, fishing was simple; I wanted to get all 4 sizes of every fish, so I spent a lot of time fishing in the evenings. This made getting the rod upgrades quick and provided a lot of gift items in the form of raw fish and sashimi. For cutscenes, I followed this guide on Fogu: fogu.com/sos5/ There are three big categories; Heart Events, Rival events, and "random" events. If you navigate to the bachelors and bachelorettes, it shows you the conditions needs to activate their heart events. There's an entire section for Rival events here: fogu.com/sos5/events/rival_events.html and the Random events page here tells you how to get all the cutscenes you can see and what season and chapter you can see them in: fogu.com/sos5/events/random_events.html Feel free to let me know if you have any more questions. Or you could contact me on twitter/discord!

Did you give everyone gifts everyday, and if so did you give them the max number possible or just try to give them at least one a day? I can tell from the video that you seem to have prioritized the dateable NPCs and Daryl, then worked worked your way from the most accessible to the least accessible NPCs. Thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions!

[@JackDuckGoose]

@@alchemysaga3745 For this play through, I definitely did not talk to everyone everyday or give everyone a max amount of gifts a day. I pretty much went through friendships in clumps. The first clump was people I knew weren't going to be in Chapter 2 and people that had cutscenes only available in Chapter 1. Those people would get 1-2 gifts a day starting out. Bachelors and bachelorettes were easier since their heart events worked towards friendship and affection, so I mainly focused on them, daryl, nina, and hugh early-game.

Sensory issues surrounding milk & mild lactose intolerance means I don't do cereal all that often (lest i commit the food crime of using water instead of milk for some sort of moisture) but I can always ignore those issues when it comes to reeses puffs

[@JackDuckGoose]

Damn, Reeses puffs have crazy pull I guess lol

[@MarsCBG]

@JackDuckGoose I'm also incapable of not getting the Reese's Puffs rap stuck in my head whenever I think about them. Advertising has won in this case

[@JackDuckGoose]

Milk after, unless it's oatmeal (which I make with milk, because it tastes better that way to me), in which case, I add milk first, then oatmeal, fruit, and any other seasonings I feel like (honey, maple, brown sugar, etc), before cooking. My favorite cereals are Lucky Charms (because dehydrated marshmallows are AWESOME), and Maple/Cinnamon Chex (because YUM). Never played any of the Harvest Moon games (thought I've played many of the games that owe their existence to this charming progenitor), but have to say it was touching. Misted up a little at the "it's been a wonderful life" ending. Great content! Looking forward to additional journeys we're invited to join along. Cheers!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much! I appreciate your attention to detail with cereals and oatmeals. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that gets super specific with the order of making something as benign as oatmeal lol

[@TheGizmoWolf]

@@JackDuckGoose *laughs* Well, oatmeal can be just, you know, oat-meal, or it can be an amazing breakfast experience: warm and mellow as a warm binkie straight from the dryer, or a death-metal harbinger of the fruitocalypse. What was it they used to say about Campbell's Chunky soups? The soup that eats like a meal? Yeah. Like that. Way too much info, I know. -.-;

[@kumakuma4859]

I watch this and it’s part 2 multiple times a day! I have chronic fatigue so I sleep a lot ❤ it’s so perfect for falling asleep- but it’s also super entertaining

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much! Hopefully I can help with the sleep lol

[@N0_Air]

I love cheerios. Not because it’s the best but because it’s so simple and I can consume it dry

[@JackDuckGoose]

Yeahhhh, cereal that is just as good dry as with milk is the best lol

[@kapnkarhoonch5497]

Favorite cereals is grape nuts, not because they taste good but because once i finish a bowl of grape nuts i know that what ever life throws at me it wasnt as bad as what i did to myself when i woke up.

[@JackDuckGoose]

thats me but just getting out of bed in the morning

[@zainalmuttaqinrinaldy6271]

appreciate how you made this content so far. thanks for the effort. I watched this video every second without any disruption. Bless you

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@jed4110]

i remembered this game is a grind to get the npc to be your friend

[@JackDuckGoose]

Yeah, it definitely takes some time. A lot of cutscenes are dependent on having high affection with the villagers, so I really focused on befriending them early lol

[@mochimilk1559]

I love these videos so so much please continue to make more on the harvest moon/story of seasons games! I would also love to see this with other farming sims like coral island and sun haven

[@JackDuckGoose]

Lol theres too many games I want to play. I just need this to be my real job and I can play them all

[@mochimilk1559]

@@JackDuckGoose aw I feel that. I hope you can do this as your job one day. Keep up the great work!

[@rokaroka2649]

I don't know if this cereal even exists anymore. Kelloggs special K, the strawberry flavored cornflakes. Those were my fav

[@JackDuckGoose]

My Wife loves Strawberry Special K lol

[@antheorium]

I've been putting your videos as background noise while working since being recommended one of your videos. Pretty sure I've watched (listened) to this video twice already- third time is this comment and it still feels as if this is my first time watching haha. Hope to see more harvest moon/sos videos soon!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I've told my wife that people will put my videos on for background noise or to fall asleep and she always says, "no way. you're voice isn't relaxing enough" so it I always get a good laugh when someone mentions that. I definitely have more HM/SOS stuff in the mixer lol

[@arletestanyol6101]

it has taken me more than 3 weeks to watch this video full, so you can imagine how i was sobbing towards the end… great video to fall asleep to!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching the entire thing! Hope you had some good sleeps in between lol

[@Ashe0v0]

Applejack always have a place in my heart, and I love you taking out your anger on Charlie

Shoutout to Autoplay lol. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@RetroRaine]

Banana nut Cheerios are absolutely amazing. Just a little sweetness from the banana nut, delightful. I’m a new viewer but I respected your intro and liked your video format, very well done. You got a subscriber outta me. Thank you.

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much! It's great to have you! P.S. that's a solid cereal order. Cherrios used to have these little Yogurt versions where some cherrios had a sweet, dried yogurt coating. The strawberry version of those went so hard but I don't know if they make them the same anymore lol

[@mslamblambs7610]

Wow my favorite sponsor for this video, well done on that. :)

[@jiikininkii7130]

Sad that this series is over! Hope you continue making great vids my guy!!

[@JackDuckGoose]

There's definitely more to come! Thanks so much for watching!

[@Chiquita_pandita]

Favorite cereal is definitely frosted flakes with slices of banana. That was a huge pregnancy craving of mine and i still enjoy it!

[@JackDuckGoose]

That honestly sounds like it would go hard. The banana could mellow out some of the sweetness.

[@nutty9966]

i can see that cinnamon toast crunch is populat and that makes sense bc its my favorite too!! and fruity pebbles… theyre a close second i think.

[@JackDuckGoose]

The yin and yang of cereal

[@GreyFoxOverlord]

Gotta be Frosted Flakes for my cereal fave 🤔 Since you asked for more P names, here’s some off the top of my head: Paige, Phoebe, Prue, Perdita, Piper, Penny, Priscilla, Petra, Primrose, Penelope, Paul, Patrick, Phil, Phillip, Peter, Pedro, Pierre, Percy, Pascal, and Payne

[@JackDuckGoose]

How did I not think of Percy 🤦

[@bensonbone]

lol your thumbnail looks like your farmer said “no, YOU go farm”

Lol he do be looking a little jaded

[@johnmaano9354]

Thanks for the no-ads vidsss you are a Godsend

[@JackDuckGoose]

You're welcome! Hope you enjoyed the video!

[@takebadger]

When they said to comment ur fav cereal, I legitimately went hmmm what is my favorite, as if I’m not currently pouring my third bowl of Raisin Bran this morning

[@JackDuckGoose]

Raisin Bran gets way more flak than it deserves. Maybe it's just because I really like Raisins, but it's a solid 7.3/10 for me lol

[@ryanmackenzie6109]

I LOVE Corn Flakes and Raisin Bran! Aside from that, love this content. Your voice is really nice to listen to, you speak at a great pace that scratches my brain, and the game looks really, really fun. I'm only about 20 minutes in, but it looks like a game I'd enjoy! It sems very Animal Crossing meets Stardew, and thsts soemthing I've been craving for a bit. I'm glad this got recommended to me!

[@JackDuckGoose]

Thanks so much for watching! It definitely is a solid game, especially if you've never played the original! It goes on sale pretty often so I would wait for the next time it goes half off lol

[@soulshield7744]

Favorites have to be frosted flakes, corn flakes, and pops. They’re just good textures, especially with juust the right amount of milk. Even the generic brand corn flakes and frosted flakes from my local supermarket are good.

[@JackDuckGoose]

You GOTTA make sure the milk to cereal ratio is on point

[@richardstill3575]

Just like to say you really did well we this vid man. It help me to understand the game alot better to play so nice one. Really well done😎

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! I hope you enjoy playing it. If you have any questions, feel free to let me know!

my favorite cereal is probably reeses puffs

[@JackDuckGoose]

I do love the peanut butter chocolate flavor

Cocoa Puffs reign supreme❤ Totally could’ve stayed with the P name theme and named the farm the Phowl farm

In hindsight, Phowl farm is perfect lol

[@caffienatedtactician]

Was trying to figure out why in the world you couldnt name an animal Pine and it turns out this game has an insanely strict profanity filter, and a lot of them dobt make sense. It also censors names that the game *generates itself*, like certain hybrid crop numbers

[@JackDuckGoose]

Shout out to the mod that removes the profanity filter

[@derpkipper]

Ive listened to this video 4 times while falling asleep. Its comforting. My fave cereal is Fruit Loops :]

59:46 Eyyyyy your southern accent came out here lol Now i hear it throughout the rest of the vid but, tbf, southern accents are hella endearing and you do a great job with masking it, fwiw xD This vid is still a big comfort lol I wouldnt call out the southern accent if I werent intimately familiar with it, rest assured xD Feels like an Arkansas or northern texas accent lol. My familys got that accent. I do too if I'm around the right people lol Forgive me if ya dont have a southern accent and I'm assuming xD

[@JackDuckGoose]

I was born and raised in the midwest, but most of my family grew up on farms and worked doing agriculture so maybe that's where those slight accent hints can be picked up lol

[@derpkipper]

​@JackDuckGoose lol you sound like me. Genuinely. I'm a midwestern baby who had family with a farmer / southern midwest background. I think thats cool. Thanks for sharing! Maybe the fact im picking up on the tiny hints of accent is also reflective of my own background! Lol

[@JackDuckGoose]

@@derpkipper Lol i bet thats it. I can always tell when someone is from around the same parts I am on TV or something.

1. Milk after the cereal. 2. Frosted cheerios were my favorite as a kid. These days I eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Reeses Puffs.

[@JackDuckGoose]

All W opinions lol

[@werekiwi2213]

Fruity pebbles is my favorite cereal. Once ordered a couple of boxes from Amazon, order got cancelled so I bought some from Walmart. Amazon order ended up coming anyways. I ate all 4 boxes across a month. This was 4 years ago and I’m still obsessed with it (haven’t eaten 4 boxes in a while though and won’t ever do that again for obvious reasons)

[@JackDuckGoose]

I legit have never ordered cereal online lol. Maybe it's because cereal is such a specific craving that, once the cereal came in the mail, I wouldn't want it once it got to my house

[@luu2619]

This was an absolutely amazing video. Super fun to watch. It made me get the game so thank you. 😊
