Thanks for Innocent Life Walkthrough
I don't normally email anyone about their walkthroughs, but I had to for yours. You did an excellent job on yours, and I have only just begun. I figured I would see what kind of help I would get starting this new harvest moon. (new to me anyways). And yours is exactly what I was looking for. Everyone else's pretty much blowed. Plus they didn't even have any info on anything...let alone only had the first few days of spring finished.
So, thank you. I agree with getting seeds before tools, which no one else did. I thought I was doing something wrong, until I came across your walkthrough.
So, again, thanks for all your effort, just know....I am using yours! hahaha
Sincerely-
Stephanie

Animal Crossing Wild World
I would like to thank you greatly for the Animal Crossing Tips and Tactics page you have published. There were so many things that I had no idea you could do or collect. Now I see animal crossing in a different light as I have more stuff to do instead of just fishing and catching bugs!!!
Thanx once again
Rx
Note from Freyashawk: It is good to know that my old guides still are being used. I do tend to focus on Harvest Moon games, but 'Animal Crossing Wild World' still remains as one of the best DS games produced... Any Harvest Moon fan probably would love ACWW as well and likewise any AC fan should enjoy Harvest Moon.

Thanks from a Perfectionist
Hey. I just wanted to say thank you for all of the guides, they've always been immensely helpful to me. Harvest Moon is my fave series, even though I'm horrible at time management and such; coupled with my need to be a perfectionist, it makes these games really tough for me! But still, I love it. Right now I'm playing Harvest Moon DS Cute while waiting for the two new games (preordered, looking forward to my plushies). I think the farthest I've ever made it is 23 Spring, Year 1. I keep restarting...! I can never get my daily routine hammered out, so I struggle and feel like I've done something horribly wrong. Hehe, I have to try and get gifts to EVERYONE, but it's difficult... ah well!
Sorry, I ramble on (it's 3am after all, kinda loopy). Again, thank you very much...! It makes it so much easier to know what to give people. I'll hammer out my daily schedule someday...!
My response: Thank you for your email. I always am inspired to work harder when players tell me that my guides have been helpful.
I myself am a perfectionist and my own instinct is to wring the most out of every day in Harvest Moon. I find myself replaying a day in order to save a few minutes (in-game) here or there or to perform a chore better. I hate to make mistakes but really, Harvest Moon is VERY forgiving of errors. There are few errors that cannot be reversed. When you give an individual a gift he/she detests, you always can restore Heart Levels that have been lost. Littering can reduce an individual's AP to zero, but you can RESTORE that AP by giving Most Favourites or even gifts that are liked but not loved. I try to trigger events as early as possible in the game for the sake of the guide but an ordinary player has all the time in the world in many cases. If a game can last for 255 years, what is the rush? What errors cannot be reversed in 255 years???
You need to move on past the first Spring. Buy the Teleport Stone so you can visit every one early in the morning. Even if you give them items that they like rather than love, you can raise FP to maximum very quickly! You really do need to allow yourself to experience Events and make progress in the game.
By the way, my guides for Island of Happiness should be published on IGN on the day the game is released. My written guide for Tree of Tranquility will be published by Brady Games and is available now for pre-order I believe. As I worked on a printed guide for ToT for Brady, I shan't be able to write online guides for that game but a printed guide may be more useful in any case.

Hello--
I got a later start on Harvest Moon than most people...while everyone was talking about Magical Melody's upcoming release, I had just discovered MFoMT. With all of the talk about the newer games, and me struggling to make myself known in HM forums, it was more than a little difficult to get some of the information I needed for the game I was playing. Your guides for MFOMT for were lifesavers for me! I progressed well through that game and ended up rich, married, and with a kid and a highly developed farm.
Well, what happens to many happened to me--I got hooked on HM! Unfortunately, I tend to be a minimalist if I don't know any better...and reading your guides helped me know better! If it was up to me, my biggest goal in most HM games would be to get married and then I would probably throw it aside and wait for the next game to come out. However, I read your general guide for the game before playing (I'm kinda going backwards with the series, I just bought HM3 for the GBC) and it helps me out a lot! You've probably saved me from throwing my DS in the trash on multiple occasions when I couldn't figure out how to win Keira over.
Anyways, just wanted to drop you a virtual line and say "Keep it up!" Now that I'm more established in Harvest Moon message boards and someone asks me a question to which I don't know the answer, your guides are the first I check, becasue they are so thorough! I from experience know that it's not easy to write them, and it's very time consuming, but, at the expense of sounding corny, you're actually very inspiring to me.
Keep writing! I know I speak for a lot of people when I say we really appreciate your hard work!

Thanks from Ana
In my experience, no one ever gets thanked enough.
So, thanks. My mother, sister and I have been using your guides for quite awhile, myself especially. You have no idea how much your guides have kept me from restarting all of my hard work due to a silly error like I used to before I stumbled across your guides.
I've used your guides for Harvest Moon games, on the GameCube (Another Wonderful Life), Gameboy (More Friends of Mineral Town), Gameboy DS (Cute, Rune Factory) as well as your Sims 2 guides.
I used to get so annoyed at having to restart over and over, especially with Cute and Rune Factory. The games were so hard on my own, and I literally had no idea what I was doing! I was going crazy until I googled the games and stumbled onto your guides. I was having trouble with everything from wooing bachelors (or bachleorettes in the case of Rune Factory) to making money and befriending people until I found your guides.
Now thanks to you, I'm rich, happily married in each of the Harvest Moon games, and have children.
I know how long those guides take, having written a few on various games on my own, so I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the efforts!
Thank you so much for writing those guides! I hope you continue to write them, especially as the new Harvest Moon games come out! (Go Island of Happiness!) I hope that we can rely on you to pull us out of the mud, keep us from destroying either the game or the system itself (and believe me, I was tempted!!) and let us enjoy the games!
Thanks! :D

A Fan of Naruto Writes...
Hello,
My name is sasukegal4593 and I just want to say thank you for making all of the Harvest Moon guides. ^-^ They really did help me out a bunch. I had gotten Harvest Moon Cute yesterday and started playing it. Being the wierdo that I am, I read the players book before playing and saw Skye and I was all, "He's soooo got! That's the one I'm gonna marry!! >///<" So, when I got home, I popped in the cartridge into my DS and started playing. I looked in vain for a hourse looking for Skye. I eventually got fed up with the game and went out into the garage to look for my More Friends of Mineral Town game. I found my box for it, just not my game. . . so, I still don't know where it is and I plan on looking later today. . . so, anyways, then when I finally got done looking (my garage is wreck, anyways n.n') I popped my game back in and started looking for Skye again. With no luck, I finally got frustrated and asked my grandmother if I could use her computer to look up cheats to find Skye. See, right now, I'm at the library on my laptop, using fast wi-fi. But at home. . . Nanny's computer is dial up and her computer is old, so it took FOREVER to even get it connected. I'm a very impatient person, so I wanted to find the information I wanted fast and I wanted to find all the information I needed in one place. I found where you made a complete guide and was overly delighted. ^-^ I not only found out what I needed to about Skye, but everything else I needed. Currently, I'm sitting in the library with my DS next to me to play while I'm downloading anime.
I really can't say thank you enough for making all of the Harvest Moon guides. You must really love the game. ^-^ I bought my first Harvest Moon game, More Friends of Mineral Town, about 2 or 3 years ago and absolutely loved it. However, like I said before, due to my forgetfullness, I've lost it and have to find it again. In MFOMT, I married Gray on my first file and Doctor in my second.
One thing that I had a lot of trouble with was figuring out how to watch TV. That really should have been a commen sense thing for me, but I kinda lack common sense, so I was happiful when I read your guide. ^-^
I'm sorry if I dragged this letter on and on, but I know how much it must mean to you to hear from those that use your guides. See, I'm not sure if your into anime, but I write a Naruto love fanfiction ( Naruto Wolf Angel Chronicles, www.cheyenneandsasuke.zoomshare.com) and I always enjoy recieving emails from those that read my story.
Anways, thank you again
