Japan and English (DS and 3DS) cover.
Harvest Moon: The Tale Of Two Towns (牧場物語 ふたごの村 Bokujō Monogatari: Futago no Mura, lit. "Farm Story: Twin Villages") is a good games if you want to choose villages! First released in Japan on 8 July 2010 (previously February 25). The happy news comes to America where this game will released on 1 November 2011 on 3DS and 20 September 2011 on NDS!
Now comes to the story. Bluebell and Konohana villages were once the friendliest of neighbors. Then a huge dispute erupted between them over food! Both towns were certain that their cooking was the best in the world. This feud went on for a while until things got so bad that the tunnel connecting the two villages was closed off by Harvest Goddess! This feud has transformed these happy neighbors into bitter rivals.
First of all, crops. Konohana the “farming” village, so if you like farming choose this instead. Once I have bought the game, I will choose this village because I like farming.
Anyway, the new crops like Watermelon, Daikon and Bok Choy are appeared here. Yay for you, the crops still grow even in winter! You can till a hoe in a row or in column, as I see in a screenshot. By pressing and holding A button and the direction when you’re tilling your field, you can plant your crops in a row instead of on individual spots called Irrigation Trenches. The more interesting thing, when you water one plant in the row, you water all of them as far as the water in your can will allow. This saves a lot of time and effort when watering. In the same way if you stick a bottle of fertilizer into your field, it affects all the crops in the row instead of just those in the immediate squares. The more thing, you can grow flowers again (but not wild mountain flowers)! Sunflower, Rose, Carnation, and other flowers all in here!
Here are some little guides for all animals from ranchstory.co.uk (with some changes):
Animals (can be raised)
Cows: Profitable animals. As of previous Harvest Moon games, cows provide milk as always.
Sheep: Profitable animals. Sheep do what they have done, provide the wool. As of now, there are three types: pink, white, and black.
Alpaca: Profitable animals. New member to the HM family, no one knows what these cute creatures do yet. There are two types of them, white and brown. Alpacas seem to give you high quality wool.
From the Wild Animal (you can feed them to become friends)
Bears: You can spot them at the mountain, but at first it will attack you!
Boar: Same as bears, it also attacks you.
Monkey: Seems it likes Bananas.
Panda: You can spot them at the mountain between 9pm to 5am.
Fox: There's a place in the mountains where these little yellow animals inhibit.
There also more, Duck, Mouse, Rabbit, Racoon, Sparrow, and Weasel.
Pets (can be raised in your farm)
Cat: Like Grand Bazaar, it will raise chicken (I mean, took the chicken into outside the barn).
Dog: Like Grand Bazaar, but there are 2 types. There are Small Dog (raise cows) and Big Dog (raise sheeps and alpacas)
Horses: Profitable animals. Horses can pull carts that contain goods.
Fish: Domestic animal. When you catch fish, you can put them in your pond and start feeding them. Slowly they will get bigger and becomes high quality.
Bees: Profitable animals. Also a new animal, they give honey once a week except Winter.
Owl: Profitable animals. An adorable owl, another new member, they allow transportation between villages. Apparently they can sit on your head.
To do mining, you must do this difficult way, so pay attention! (thanks to Owen by his/her guide in Harvest Moon Forum, with changes!)
You have to 1st upgrade one of
the farms to 100% by getting every expansion possible. Then Eileen will post a
request at the beginning of the next season to open the mine, or she might also
offer to build a hotspring. But keep in mind, you have to be living on the
fully upgraded farm at the change of the season for the request to appear. If
you get a farm to 100% then move to the other one at the end of the season and
it isnt at 100%, then you won't get the request.
But until then, the only way to get different gems, minerals and ores is by finding them, inside the tunnel or in the mountains, usually in the cracks in the walls behind the waterfall on the Konohana side and in the crack on the lower Bluebell area.
