I played the original a lot as a kid, but never finished it. I always got bored around Year 3 of each play through and restarted the game. Now that I’m an adult, I picked up the remake and was determined to finish a full play through.
But I’m seeing why I always got bored. I’m halfway through Year 3. I have Tier 3 S crops being harvested, cows on cows on cows, every facility has been purchased, I have no need for money unless I really want the Teddy Bear. I know this is a social game, but I have almost all the villagers at 90+.
At this point, is it really just a matter of learning all the recipes, getting the goddess tools, and killing time until my character dies? Is there anything exciting coming up or am I supposed to watch my kid grow like watching paint dry?
