Thanks so much! It is one of my childhood favorites, and probably #2 on my top 5 favorite games list. It really means a whole lot to me and shaped a lot of who I am.

That's a massive reason why I chose the GC edition. It holds up super well if you compare it with other games created in 2003! Thanks for al the kind words!

Thanks so much! I'm thankful for any size audience I have. It's just super cool that a lot of people in this community grew up with similar experiences I did because of this game. It's like discovering a parallel dimension with friends I've never had coming out of the woodwork lol

No problem, I'm glad you enjoyed!

Lol that would be interesting. Just a super cut of what to give them and how I feel about them. I'll look into it!

Thanks so much for watching! Good luck on your playthrough! It'll be the perfect appetizer for the remake this coming summer!

Thanks for all your kind praise! I've been on KZfaq through various channels since 2009, this is just the first time I've had something hit recommended lol. HM:AWL is in my top 3 favorite games of all time so its really cool to discover a lot of people had similar experiences with it!

That's awesome! I hope you enjoy it! I've heard the special edition on Playstation is a little wonky, but it's still a fun experience with a whole bunch of new mechanics and balances as opposed to the original.

Thanks so much! I'm just as excited for the remake as you are. I think you're right, it looks like a fairly honored remaked to the Special Edition with some new stuff thrown in. If they don't add more characters for names I'll be upset lol.

Thanks so much! Big Pog

Thanks so much! It's definitely in my top 3 favorite all-time games

I'm hoping to finish the challenge sometime in early December! Between getting it done and editing the last 2 - 3 videos, I'll probably survey my twitch chat and Discord and see what games they want to see. I've had some early shouts for Rune Factory and Magical Melody!

If only you were here sooner. I also voted for Nami, but I'm the head of a democracy, and it prevailed. Muffy had 70% of the vote when we decided who to marry, so she'll be the wife in future videos. When I do the SoS:AWL playthrough, I'll take another vote there too. Hopefully, we have a lot of representation for Nami! I do want to include the side animals, but I thought it was only rumored that you can get them on your farm. I'll look into it and see if it's possible in the original edition.

The next video will probably be closer to 120 - 150 days since this game is pretty front loaded. I want to make sure the next video lives up to the amount of excitement as the first video did!

@@JackDuckGoose that's even better! Can't wait

Thanks so much for all your kind words! I'll look into that. TBH, I'm not too well-versed in child careers so I'll have to do some research!

No worries! Thanks for watching my video!

@@JackDuckGoose Of course! Gotta support a friend! 😄

I'm glad my video could have an impact! I just wanted to "complete" it with the remake right around the corner. You should make some gameplay! The community for this game is awesome and more the merrier!

same here! It's was a simpler time back then lol

Lucky for you I have a video on the first 30 in-game days of this 100 challenge. I'm super stoked for the remake and will be trying to 100% that too. Maybe they'll have their own, in-game list this time!

@@JackDuckGoose I've watched it twice now!! Keep em coming buddy!!

Thanks so much! Will do!

I've looked up a couple long plays and found some information that does confirm the extra items are possible in the original edition. There's also a couple of cutscenes that I thought you couldn't get, but you can so thats just more stuff! Thanks for watching and letting me know!

Very interesting. I'll definitely make sure that those asterisks are removed and those other two items get added. Thanks so much!

Great! I'll look into these so I know exactly how to get them!

I think I might hold of on that type of video until the remake comes out. That information will probably be packaged with a whole bunch of other stuff about villagers like; what cutscenes they have, if they give gifts, what are their likes and dislikes, what are their schedules, etc.

Thanks so much for watching and that's a great question! My understanding is that there is no friendship decay in AWL. Most of the cutscenes require a high friendship level, and I was still getting cutscenes with character I hadn't talked to for years lol

@@JackDuckGoose Thank goodness haha thank you for replying!!

@@sockopunch5423 No problem!

Thanks so much! I'm pretty sure you're right. I've had a couple people in twitch chat mention something to this affect, which is a super cool mechanic they put in place lol

I'm pretty sure if you do the play/train(I forget what it was called but where he spins around??) command and get your dog to full hearts it does, I vaguely remember this too!

@@lilithlaney1759 yeah, I remember seeing a version where you could train your dog to do tricks ( that wasn't an option in mine ) . But basically one day I just started showing my dog the chickens, like holding them and then showing the pupper and he'd bark I think. And then after a few times of this, he'd watch them wherever I put them down, and if they wandered off a bit, he'd bark and they'd come back! It was super convenient for keeping them in a group while they were outside and not wandering all over the farm for me to find.

@@JackDuckGoose omg, you guys have no idea how many years I've just low-key wondered if it was just me or not 😂😂 I basically just tried it on a whim and based it off of training dogs irl! 🤷‍♀️ now it makes me wonder if they'll include it in the remake!

@@Oniwabanshugirl I think they might. A lot of the information I can find on the remake seems to be leaning heavily on SE mechanics, so I wouldn't be surprised lol

Shout out to the algorithm gods! Also, I've only streamed twice since recording the audio for this list, and I've already found more custscenes that aren't listed on any website I used when doing my research. Most of them are my fault since I didn't know you could get the "Light in the Sky" custscenes in the original, but you can! The best thing about this game is that there are still surprises almost 20 years later.

In the special edition, there is a cutscene where she races a turtle lol

No worries about not having twitch! I appreciate the comment so much. The translation is super interesting. I guess the new remakes are more accurate, but I grew up with Muffy and Celia, so it's weird to call them something different. I know a lot of Molly's and Cecilia's, but those names don't have the same feeling associated with them than the wrongly translated names. I'm excited to play the game and get the second part of my 100% challenge out and I'm glad you enjoyed!

@@JackDuckGoose I'm enjoying it alot

I'll look into that! A proper guide would be nice in anticipation of the remake. Is there anything outside of Hybrid Crops or Horoscopes that you think needs revealing?

Nice! Hopefully you enjoy it!

Thanks so much! I'm almost into chapter 3 so I'll make sure I get those items. I'll let you know when I get it sorted out!

Thats good to know! I'll make sure I add that to my list of cutscenes too!

I have a Tartan/Hybrid Crop guide that I will be putting out soon! Once I get to a point where I have an excess of crops and what not, I could make a video going through every recipe. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! That means a lot! Hope to see you in a stream soon!

I've never actually got the crop shipping bin so that'll be a first for me lol

@@JackDuckGoose lol, I didn't even know there was one in the game for about 17 years because I never even thought about showing a 3rd gen hybrid crop to takakura until six months ago😅

@@86Kathi With AWL, it's always hard to gauge heresay with their being 3 versions and everyone playing a different one lol I'll definitelly show Takakura a 3rd gen when I get one! Thanks so much!

Lol thanks! It's the microphone, I swear.

My understanding of the books in the child room is that it reflects what their career is on track to be. If there are books about art and farming, he's on track to be an artist or a farmer. If books disappear, it's possible that his interests are moving away from whatever that book is hinting at.

🥳

My motivation for doing this in the first place was the remake announcement! It's been a great time!

Hello! Still crazy to me even now. I wrote this video when I had 300 ish subscribers, and it's insane that more people have found my channel!

That's a great question! In AnWL, the girl edition that the special edition is based off of, Gustafa is a bachelor so Cody was given the task of gifting the Weird Sickle. I'm guessing they just kept that mechanic since it was easier than reverting it to the original edition.

That's a great question! The intended method to getting the records in AWL and AnWL is to use the GBA link. With that being said, there is a way to get them, but there are a few drawbacks. You can use the 3rd port, second controller Z glitch. It'll give you 99 of random items, including the records. @BryceTheRamenKing made a great video on how to do it that is easy to follow that you can find here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5iKg5Rpz56beX0.html Hope that helps!

That's good to know, I'll make sure to add that on my list going forwards. GameFAQs does still exist and I use it pretty regularly with this game since this game was published so long ago lol

Lol apparently I pronounce Lumina's name wrong as well. I say "loom-ina," when a lot of people in chat say "loo-me-nah." Making a per chapter checklist would be an interesting video. I'll look into it, for sure! Thanks for watching!

​@@JackDuckGoose you actually do but i didn't wanna correct you twice lmao. its loo-meena Another good tutorial style idea would be a video dedicated to each characters cutscenes, where and when to activate them and in what order. like all of Celia's or Nami's heart events or other cut scenes related to them in a single video. or a video dedicated to where, when and how to get each of the special tools. i would do this myself but i don't have the proper equipment to film ._. I just know for the tools you have to get them in chapter 2 after you get the great field. for Galen's rod, if you don't know the specific rules to getting it, befriend him chapter 1, and in chapter 2, he will be too sad to talk or take gifts, you can get the rod in spring year 2, but you have to clean nina's grave first in the morning, then follow him back into his house after and he'll be happy enough to talk and give you the rod. this one isn't actually a cutscene. no one ever specifies the details, just " be his friend in chapter 2 and go to his house in the morning and he'll give it to you " but its not that simple. I just got the rod from him but it took me forever to figure out why he wouldn't talk to me because no one ever said how to make him talk, just that he does xD

True, Galen's Rod is a super confusing acquisition if you've never played. I've definitely considered making character specific videos. With the remake coming out, if I do make a video like that, it would probably include a lot of the cut scenes, but the narrative would be more like, "This is Celia and the heart events are x, y, and z and they detail how she's in the process of getting a marriage arranged." Those videos would be more centered around them as a character in preparation for the remake.

Thanks so much! I'll make sure to get that updated!

@@JackDuckGoose awesome its fixed :)
