"Harvest Moon!"

Got this today, 'tis brilliant.

So far I've got a big-faced dog called... Bigface, a cow called Rainbow, loads of milk and some 'cultivated land' watered.

I haven't played ti for long, about 15 minutes, but it really is amazing.

Get it.

I do hear it starts slowly, but its not like the seeds aren't growing, I just can't plant them. It just comes up with a '?' and babbles on about the seed.

Ah, right.

Thanks.

So what am I to do in the mean time?
I suppose I could not plant some stuff.
And maybe I could not fish/do anything else.
I could like go and talk to people and get them to say "Okay..cya later then"
Erm..

This game does start a little slowly, but if you stick with it; it really does become very very addictive. Make sure you're buying the correct seeds for the time of year as well, as seeds only grow during certain seasons.

Van only appeares on certain days.

Just go where Van normally is and press A.

I've now decided to give the farming a go, just to add a little more variety to the gameplay. I've planted tomatoes, carrots, turnips, strawberries and sweet potatoes; 5 of each. I'm also going to learn to make proper meals as all I eat is fish, that's all I've been eating since I started the game. :)

Also, how do you get a stall set up?

What an absolutely confusing/rubbish game this is.
I can't seem to do anything.
Are you supposed to not be able to plant things?
What about 'Van'? Even though you people seem to interact with him, he is no where to be found.

On the plus side, I called my cow WS.

I grew 20 Turnips and they lasted me about 3 seasons of food, even after giving most of them to Nami.

Forgive me for being stupid, but how did you manage to link the two games up? All I get is a white screen on AWL and from what I can see, FOMT just plays the same as normal.
