There's probably an optimal way to get peak performance out of your farming, but you can't really say that there's a "right" way to play A Wonderful Life. Suffice it to say that the game manages to keep the day-to-day routine of farm life interesting for a long, long time. One could spend pages describing all the different activities you can take part in and events that will occur as you play A Wonderful Life, but we'll leave that to the FAQ writers. The game is absolutely brimming with touches just like this. You won't want to let your animals outside to graze when it's raining, which means you'll need to make sure they have plenty of fodder in their troughs, but the upside is that you won't need to individually water all your plants by hand.

The different seasons will impact what you can actually do on the farm, and certain types of fruits and vegetables will grow only during certain seasons. The game puts you through the four seasons, though at a highly accelerated rate. There's a dynamic weather system in place, and if you face toward the ocean when it's about to rain, you can actually watch storm fronts come and go. What really makes the Harvest Moon experience so engrossing is its almost obsessive-compulsive level of detail. It's little more than a pleasant aside, though fans who have already put in work in Mineral Town will appreciate it. Anticipating this, Natsume has included GBA connectivity in A Wonderful Life, and if you connect the two games, you'll be able to travel from Forget-Me-Not Valley to Mineral Town and interact with the people there. If you're already invested in the Harvest Moon series, you likely own a copy of Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town for the Game Boy Advance. The romantic portions of the game are surprisingly well realized, and you'll find yourself really stressing over which girl to pursue. Which one you end up winning as your bride will impact the personality of your child, as well as various aspects of your farm. Each has a very unique personality, and each will respond differently to your advances. Social interaction with the other residents in Forget-Me-Not Valley, the area where A Wonderful Life takes place, is vital to the experience, as you'll need to court one of the three available girls in the area to keep things going.

Or, you can just spend an afternoon hanging out in the local bar, having drinks and chatting with the locals. You can focus your energy on fishing, animal husbandry, archeology, cooking, or even cross-breeding your crops, and each of these activities is like a unique subgame in and of itself. There's the aforementioned groove you'll get into, and you can always expect Van, the traveling salesman, to show up on specific days, but if you grow tired of just milking your cows, collecting eggs from your chickens, and watering and harvesting your crops, the game offers plenty of other activities. There are aspects of the game that take on a certain clockwork quality. Once you get familiar with the particulars of caring for livestock, cultivating crops, and getting paid for your efforts, you'll get into a groove where it's dangerously easy to just let hours slip away as you take care of your day-to-day chores. The game basically lets you play out the life of a farmer, which, admittedly, sounds like a dull, tiresome undertaking, but there's a satisfyingly meditative pacing to it.

And milk, and eggs, and wool, and fish, and, ultimately, children. Your character doesn't really have personal stats to build, but rather, the fruits of your labor are quite literally fruit. Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life is an RPG, but not in the save-the-world-from-an-absolute-evil way. It's all pretty ancillary to a lot of the actual game, but it's eccentric touches like this that really define the feel of the game. As an odd combination of second- and third-person perspectives-which you could safely call anything from fourth- to sixth-person-the technique is more interesting than just about anything the narrator actually says. Though you'll actually be playing the game as a young boy, the narrator is an older man who is helping you maintain the farm, and he's actually telling the story to the memory of your father, who left you this farm in the first place. In a peculiar game like Harvest Moon, the fact that the underlying narrative is one of the most peculiar parts is saying a lot.
