HM:BTN has some very bizzare things happening

[Rian]

along with some jokes that i found at db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/harvest_moon_glitch.txt whicj contains lots from BTN glitches and bizzare hapenings have fun reading



1. The Basket
If you leave it outside during a hurricane or blizzard, it's still
there and it doesn't move an inch.

Re: Yea, but so does your tree, your house, your mill, and not to mention
your beehive.

2. The Doghouse
Neat decoration, eh?

Re: Yea, and so does all the laser beam on FFVIII's Ragnarok, and all the
polygons they make for FFX's airship.

3. Produce
....how come when you get honey, the bottle is included?
and...same thing with the milk can!

Re: Because, over all the other things, it's a village where a goddess
could easily be summoned by a rotten cucumber!

4. Zack
when he comes to get your produce... he zaps it [i mean, how'd he get
everything there? do you see him carrying a sack?]

Re: Uh, something he learnt from the Avalanche? Or from the Power Ranger?

5. Greg
the fisherman he just stands at
the dock, he doesnt fish at all

Re: Uh, did you realize whose shiny rod was that in your rucksack?

6. Louis
the bee researcher eh?... then why's he always in gotz's house?
ain't he supposed to be researching?

Re: and, uh, ain't a farmer supposed to take care of the crops instead of
messing with neighbors?

7. Oh here's something funny....

try raising the blue feather to Gray...
he'll think you like him... hehe

Re: Yea, the sort of thing you could expect from a person named ga.., I
mean, Gray. Oh, I forgot there are lots of kids here. So I would just
say it's because Harvest Moon came from Japan.

8. Tree stumps and the stone near the bridge
they regrow everyday =)

Re: Uh, that's..., well, good point

9. Legendary fish
why doesn't he take the fish? he just throws it away
and he grabs a photo-copied picture of the fish!
[it's black and white! so it looks xeroxed]

Re: Because a good fisherman didn't fish to kill. They fish for the pride,
which can simply be obtained from the body-print from the certain
fish or some sort. No murder involved. </serious_fishing_gamer>

10. lil stones
nothin can break them except your hammer

Re: and how about lil May? Not even a hammer- uh, yeah. There are
kids around and stuff. Sorry.

11. Marry Ann and....
if you marry her, enter the house at...let's say....12 and she'll ask
you what you wanna eat [she won't cook anything!] and talk to her when
she's infront of the fridge, she'll say she burned herself "again!"

Re: Luckily I didn't marry Ann, nor do I have the desire to, so I'll pass.

12. If you check the bridge, you'll see that the fall is frozen
then, when you go to the waterfall, it's still running

Re: Haha, that's supposed to be the Anti-Freezing Magical Harvest Goddess
magic! Or rather, the programmer's "we want to let you people meet
your oh-so-adored deity even in the coldness of winter" rant. Or
something.

13. Pineapple is much more expensive than a gold ore

Re: Uh, when you can obtain infinite amount of gold inside the cave in
your backyard with a little luck and some help from your ol' hoe, you
can't expect high value as much as when it comes to a faraway fruits
grown for weeks with all the tears, bloods and daily watering. So I
guess that makes sense.

[Rian]

and umm.... sorry bout my typos heheheh

[Rian]

or if you dont want loading hers the big one .................

sorry forgot the music tan tanan tatatatatat tantanan............Presenting Glitches of HM:BTN

| VERSION HISTORY |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi. If you wanna know the real glitches found here in Harvest Moon, because
you experienced it and you have a problem with it, or you just want to know
what might happened to you when you do certain things, then go ahead, read
on the FAQ. Oh, and no, I don't make this as a classic-style FAQ like I did
in my general HM FAQ, because if I do that, there will be only one question
there. You know, 'Tell me all about glitches in Harvest Moon!' and that
will already cover all of the contains of this FAQ.

Hey, maybe Natsume do read this FAQ, and they will know what's wrong with
their game. It's always nice to help, ain't it? Maybe this FAQ will give
us a better Harvest Moon in future. Or maybe I'm just dreaming ^_^

And I hope that you, anybody, will sent me some glitches that aren't listed
here. Just because I haven't experienced them, doesn't mean they shouldn't
have to be listed here. So, my address is <[e-mail]> if you
want to sent them in, or if you want to ask about something, of course. As
usual. Now read on the FAQ.
___________________________________________________________________________
Version History
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Version 1.3 July 1, 2002
- I've added a whole lot lame asides and stale jokes here and there.
Because, uh, I thought that's kind of fit into our Glitch topic. No, I
mean, because I'm bored.
- And so, I'M VERY SORRY if my lame asides hurt your feeling or something.
Never meant to do so.
- Oh, and we've got 40 now!
- The trivia is done, is closed, is decided.
- There's this new "how to identify glitch" section, because of some
reason.
- The credits section, despite nobody reads them, has been updated.
- The disclaimer again was cut down. Because it made me sound like a jerk,
in which kind of pointless because I already am.
- Oh, and now the <geocities.com/kuadran3> is not officially mine. It is
now owned by this Ayanami Rei. Or something resembles her. If you're
into the sort of character, I think it pays a visit. As you can see she
has made the place a whole lot more interesting than before.


Version 1.2 April 04, 2002
- Added some information on glitch #31 thanks to Neo Zero!
- Added some new information on glitch #11 and #18, thanks to Timmy
Petersson!
- Added a new glitch (#32) sent by <[e-mail]>. Thanks!
- Of course, glitch #33 is also there, I found (or realized) it recently.
- Added my website address, which is right at the very top of the page.
Or here <geocities.com/kuadran3> if you don't wanna scroll right up
- The disclaimer was way much more trimmed. Slim, and I like it.
- And the Introduction was too.
- Added the TRIVIA section, please check it out.
- Did some spellchecking and rewriting and such.

Version 1.1 January 12, 2002
- The FAQ gets somewhat a lot response from people who had lot of different
glitch problems. I DON'T, however, have the time to put them all from
e-mail to this FAQ. Once I get the time to re-check my mailbox again, I
might put them all in this place. Please forgive me.

[Rian]

- The layout was somewhat changed, some of the text was lined up and
had been rewritten from the original one.
- A lot of new glitches listed, and their source was added as well.
- The Counterparts section was built. It is the place to clean the
programmer's name out from their glitch mistakes
- Version History section was also built as well. You are here now.

Version 1.0 July 9, 2001
- The first draft with only about 8 glitches listed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, kids. I've got enough e-mail in which I thought I shouldn't need to
receive if I ever to explain this thing. I don't know about you, but it's
kind of funny when people asked me whether this particular thing is a
glitch or not; just because I write a Glitch FAQ at that. So here, some
brief clue for your glitch hunt:

1) If your game freezes and you can't continue your data even if you have
smashed your console to the wall, then it's a glitch.
2) If any character suddenly have different / mixed-up faces and polygons,
like a chicken head in place of your dear Elli's, then it's a glitch.
3) If you throw the dogball somewhere out of your reach, it is also a
glitch. But take note that this is a very TIRED glitch please don't
send me another one.
4) If any character went crazy, like they're talking to you even though
they are NOT there, it is a glitch. Or maybe you just need some sleep.
5) Now, over all the above things, if your mind said it's weird then it's
weird. Weirdness doesn't always make a glitch, but asking my
confirmation doesn't make as well.

Which conclude, my very simple thought about a glitch is when everything's
not going to way it should be. Just like that. If you just can't decide,
please, I don't think reading this whole FAQ will help as well. Thank you.

Glitch #1: The Door Trap
Source: Self experience
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is the most popular yet hated glitch in Harvest Moon. If somehow, you
bring your dog or hen in your hand and drop them right on the door (any
door), they might get stuck and you cannot get them back, because when you
press X you open the door instead of picking up the animal. The only thing
you can do is to wait, pray that your dog or hen will eventually find their
own way to free themself. Try whistling your dog, and try picking up them
from different place and angle, where you do not face the door.
This one happened to me when I was going to show my puppy to Cliff. Yup,
it get stuck in his room's door in Ann's house. Finally, I can pick it up
again after trying from different place. So this is the idea. After all,
this glitch is harmless and it is avoidable.

Glitch #2: The Bad Luck in Winter Thanksgiving Day
Source: Message Board
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I don't really think that it is a glitch, but this one is not supposed to
be happened. Somehow, if you're unlucky enough, you might experience a
snowstorm in Winter Thanksgiving Day. That means you cannot get out of
your house and you cannot get any chocolate from any girl.
The only thing you can do is, again, wait. I mean, wait until the next
year. Or maybe, if your last saved game is at least two day before the
Winter Thanksgiving Day, you might want to load 'em back because the
weather is still possible to be changed. But if your last saved game is a
day before Winter Thanksgiving, then you can not change the weather.
This one never happened to me, but it does happened to some people out
there, especially people in Message Board.

Glitch #3: Yet Another Bad Luck in Winter Thanksgiving Day
Source: Charry of Message Board
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This one is really weird, and rarely happened. Actually, only one person
reported that it was happened to her. It was happened in Winter Thanks, and
the girls of the game (who was supposed to give the chocolate) had purple
or better heart. But weirdly, none of the girls came to the farm. The
person waited until the day ends, but still, he got nothing.
I really don't know why this happened and how to fix it. Maybe if you
load the game from the previous day, it will disappear, but I'm not sure.
But if you've tried everything and it is still happened, the only
conclusion is to use your GameShark.
I never experienced this, but the one who reported this is Charry, a
message board member, and she reported this quite long ago. So, Charry, if
you ever happen to read this, this is yours. Thanks.

Glitch #4: The <whatever-you-COULD-put-in> Soup
Source: FAQ, Message Board
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Yes this is it. In the Harvest Festival, you can bring anything you'd like
to throw into the bowl. You can bring green peppers, tomatoes, hens, or
even your dog. So this one is for you who have raised your little puppy
nicely and then you want the villagers to taste it a little. As far as I
know (and as far as I experience), the dog won't be gone if you throw it
in. You can find it the next day in Rose Square, that strong doggie.
There's no conclusion for this glitch since it is harmless. It is just
there for fun. Try it. And yes, I have tried it, and that's how I found
out that you'll see the dog back in Rose Square the next day. People don't
like its taste, I think. Oh, just like the dog soup, chicken soup won't
help as well.

Glitch #5: Fish Them Out and See What They Really Cook for You
Source: Self experience
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Hehehe, the title might sounds weird but since the glitch is also weird,
it won't be a big problem nonetheless. It is still happened in the Harvest
Festival. You can fish into the bowl there, if you're standing in the right
place on the ladder. Sometimes you will get small fish, but you will be
most likely to get fish bone. See what they really cook for you?
Again, there's no conclusion for this glitch. It is harmless, and fun!
Maybe Natsume really make this glitch, because you know, they are Serious
'Fun'. I have tried this and get some small fish. And if I'm not wrong, the
trash bin that is usually there in Rose Square was gone, so you can't throw
the fish bone into it.

Glitch #6: The Hot Spring Stairway's Guardian
Source: Self experience (and confirmation by Alex B!)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
It was happened in the stairway to the Hot Spring. And it was happened to
me couple month ago. It was morning and I was trying to take a little rest
in the spring after some works. Suddenly, I was stuck in the middle of
the stairway. I cannot move up to the spring, nor get back down to the
cross-road. It's just like something's guarding the way. All I can do is
moving RIGHT and LEFT, to the slope. But I can't move further, though. I
was so desperate there because I think the game got screwed up and I have
to reload again. So, all I did was keep moving right and left. And
suddenly, when the day got dark, when I didn't really watch the game, the
glitch was gone and I was up there near the Hot Spring!
No one seems to experience this but me. So all I can say is just be
patient and keep on moving right or left until the glitch's gone. I'm
sorry, I don't know what really happened when the glitch's gone, but it is
gone at night time.
I know, you might not believe in me, but this glitch is true, and please
don't you ever think that I write this just to fill in the FAQ. This one
is true. And of course, it is NOT (again, it is NOT) a real Guardian or
something. It is just titled that way, because I think it sounds cool.
Somebody had emailed me and tell me that there is NO Guardian, it is just
that I have stuck in some kind of slope or something. Yes, he was right.

Now, the confirmation:

" Hi,
I was reading Glitch number 7 and you said it didn't happen to
anyone else. It happened to me. My sister told me to give Ann some
bamboo shoots at 7:30am and I got stuck. But I could move forwards at
an angle. And When I tried I walked right through the cliff!!! "

See? Now anybody else sending me e-mails with "WHat GUarDIAN YoU StOOpiD
LIaR" as subject will happily join my innumerable list of blocked senders.

Glitch #7: He Ate the Ball?!
Source: John Wachowsky
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
It was happened when the victim (^_^) threw his dogball to his dog. The
dog caught it, and voila, the dogball disappeared! I don't know why this
happened nor the conclusion to get the ball back. All I knew is to wait for
Won to sell yet another ball. This was sent by John Wachowsky, so thanks!

Glitch #8: DogBall goes Asexual Reproduction
Source: FAQ, Self experience
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This glitch is different, since it is very useful. You might have heard
this one, but in another name, which was the Dogball Duplication Trick. Put
your dog behind you and stand near a wall. Hold your dogball in your hand
and throw it up so it bounce off the wall. Make sure it falls right behind
you and in front of your dog. Now quickly turn around and pick up the ball
right when your dog is also picking it. Now you have two ball, in your hand
and in your dog's mouth! Now, isn't it an amoeba's self-dividing thingies?
No, there's no conclusion for this one, since you won't need any. I have
tried this, and I think it is pretty nice. The only downside is, well, you
can read it down there in Glitch #24!

Glitch #9: Bored Chicks
Source: Self experience
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Hey, get rid of that thinking in your head! This time I'm talking about
real chicken. Your chicken. You know, in some really rare times, your
chicken won't lay any egg even though you have fed them the day before. It
is not your fault, but I don't know why this happened neither. Perhaps,
they were just get bored after all. Keep on feeding them and tomorrow their
eggs will be back again.

[ In real world, some chicken farm had some kind of unwritten law, that's ]
[ "do not take all the eggs or else the hens won't lay any the next day" ]
[ and maybe, just maybe, this has got something to do with this glitch. ]
[ Maybe your chicken will always lay eggs if you don't take them all, or ]
[ in reversal, will they never lay any egg when there is still their pre- ]
[ vious egg? I don't know, for this are just wild guesses... ]

Glitch #10: The Ghost of Popuri
[Information and title courtesy of krems]
Source: krems of Message Board
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Popuri was finally married with Kai. So then, she left the village
altogether with the guy. But then, in any festival, Popuri was still in the
village. And if you go upstairs in Lillia's house, Popuri is there! Have
you ever thought what really happened between Kai and Popuri? Heh, just
kidding. I guess this is just something missed by the programmer. I don't
know why Popuri is still in the village while she was supposed to be
somewhere in Denmark or Alexandria (or Zanarkand) with Kai.

Glitch #11: Ruined Weddings
Source: FAQ
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
After you had your short wedding scene, your wife will ask you how will
she address you from now on. Whatever you chose, then the screen black out
and the game stopped. This is because you are playing the PAL version of
the game. In that version, the game always stopped when you marry someone.
So maybe it is time to return the game to get some refund or some new NTSC
version.
...or maybe not. Timmy Petersson had informed me that in the newer PAL
versions of the game, this glitch is corrected. Thanks

Glitch #12: The Sleeping will Die, the Rest will just Live
Source: Alfan Mansur
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
No, it's not about you. It is about your chicken. It is a nice glitchy
trick. Now, before I went too far, let's get going. If your chicken is
sick, and you don't have the medicine, then you have to buy it from Poultry
Farm, right? But then, what if the Poultry is closed? Your chicken would be
dead if you don't cure it at that day. So? Easy. Just keep on working and
do anything else but don't go get some sleep yet. Make it until 5 AM and go
into your chicken coop. Pick up your sick chicken and wait. Just wait until
5:50 AM and eventually the screen'll black out and you will be proceeded to
the next day. You will be in your house, still holding on your chicken. So
you have one day longer to get the medicine to cure it. Isn't it nice? Just
don't sleep to keep it alive. But eh, you can't pick up your cow or sheep,
so don't bother to do so...

Glitch #13: The Missing Watering Can
Source: E-mail
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Somebody had reported to me about this and sadly I can't remember who. The
glitch was that the person cannot find his watering can, anywhere. So that
I really don't know what happened or how to fix it. Perhaps the tool is
still at Saibara, or in the toolbox. But I really don't know.

Glitch #17: Trashes Over and Over Again
Source: Anang Iswahyudi
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Anang Iswahyudi has reported this glitch. I can't remember the details but
the point is that he went fishing day and night, another day and another
night, but then all he got is just trashes and trashes. All my guess is
that probably he threw up the trashes back to the water again once he
caught it, so then he caught it again and again. As far as I know we have
to put the trash into the trash bin in Rose Square, or into our basket once
we have it, so that it would help us to get better chance to caught some
fish. Perhaps we all should try it.
___________________________________________________________________________
Glitch #18: People is Different, but this is Just Too Weird
Source: FAQ
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I mean, fine, people might have different tastes and so, like Saibara who
loves ore. But that's normal since he is a blacksmith after all. But have
you ever know (or realize) that a girl named May loves trashes you could
get from fishing? Or that Karen will not hate you if you give her food
fiasco? Maybe we could include the Sprites that loves flour for no reason
too. Of course it is NOT a glitch but it is just too weird and I really
want to put it here for some reason ^_^.
...and then again, Timmy Petersson also informed that, at the very least,
once you are married with Popuri, she will even like you more for any
weeds you give her. Perhaps she is starting to be a vegetarian or
something
Here is the additional notes by "Rob Ledbetter":
"looking at glitch #18, I got to thinking about the game's simulation
element. Each person has his or her own personality, and it goes without
saying that the occurances that happen in the game should clue you in as
to what people are like. Since Karen is not that great a cook, it is no
suprise that she would relate to your food fiasco. Also, Mary likes
poison mushrooms, because she has that appreciation for learning, seeing
the gross gift as a biological specimen. So, if you want to try to
predict how the people in the game might react to different gifts, think
about how their experiences, their strengths and weaknesses. The
correlation shows that the programmers gave human dynamics a lot of
thought, and the result is a core group of characters that have a
suprising amount of depth..."
[ Or maybe, they were all really intended, y'know, for the sake of the ]
[ game's difficulty / challenge points... ]

Glitch #20: The Discipline Pastor; Or is He?
Source: Self experience
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
We all should know that in Music Festival, pastor Carter asked us to came
by to the church RIGHT SHARPLY at 6 PM. So then, following my curiousity or
just coincidence, I came by at about 6:30 PM or so. I thought the door
would just be locked or something, but weirdly I could get in and the
festival started as if nobody did came late ^_^. So my suggestion is don't
take his word seriously, he is a tolerate person anyway ^_^.

Glitch #21: Fooled by the Market
Source: E-mail (much, much of them)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Many people had emailed me, telling that they are already shipped all the
crops needed to get the special crops, but the Supermarket doesn't seem to
sell the secret crops yet. I really don't know why it happened but I have
some thought and conclusion. Perhaps when you were fulfilled the
requirements, the season changes so that the Supermarket has to sold the
present season's seed, not the previous season where you get the secret
crops. Or if it isn't, then all you have to do is to WAIT until the next
season before the Supermarket starts to sell it. Hope this helps.

Glitch #22: DogBall Trouble Strikes Back
Source: E-mail
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Yet there is another trouble came from those little pinky round thing.
Somebody had emailed me saying that his horse was stuck to the dogball so
it couldn't walk anywhere. It is because he was coincidentally threw the
dogball right to the legs of his horse, and so it stucks. All I can suggest
is try to whistle your horse, perhaps you will help him out. Or throw
another dogball anywhere near your horse if you have it, since it will
make the first ball disappear. Or just wait until the Horse Fez came.
Hopefully your horse would be taken to the Race safely and came back
freely again. However the most suggested way is to throw another dogball
which will also leads us to the next glitch...

Glitch #23: DogBall Wants to be Alone part 1
Source: Self experience
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Just like godzilla (if somehow you're interested), a single dogball don't
want another dogball nearby. Put a dogball on the floor, and get another
ball in hand. Throw it out nearby the first dogball and poof! The first
ball disappeared. Perhaps if you take some minutes to practice this trick
you will be able to get some extra money as a illusionist instead of just a
plain farmer -_^.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
And also, if you put a dogball in your cabinet, you won't be able to put
another ball in the same space where you put your first ball in. You will
have to put the other ball into another space of the cabinet. See, a space
of cabinet could hold up to 99 flowers of the same kind, but why not the
ball? Nobody does know for sure.

Glitch #25: Unreal Animals

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
See, I was trying to have some cute animals like rabbits and foxes as my
pets, so I bring them down into my house and keep it there. The bad thing
is that after I get out of my house, they are all disappeared.
This is somewhat disappointing, at least for me, since this would be
pretty nice especially when your last pet has been eaten by the villagers
during the Harvest Festival {Just Kidding! Refer to Glitch #4!)

If you're going to get some sleep by checking your diary and STILL holding
something (like basket or anything), you will still be able to sleep and
still holding that item at the next day when you're awaken. Well, actually
you can make use of it, refer to Glitch #12.

See if they really want to make this game as real as possible, then why
there is ALWAYS the same sound of a cutting knife continued with oven timer
when we cook different kind of meals? No matter what we cooked, Chocolate
Cake, Sashimi, Strawberry Milks, Boiled Eggs, why did the sound remains
the same? Chop, chop, chop, TING!

Glitch #28: Stuck in Gotz's Work
Source: Message Board
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
So this shouldn't be #28, this is harmful but I just kinda missed it. This
glitch happened like this. If you ask Gotz to work on your farm, and your
animal was playing around his work, there are chances that it might get
lost forever inside the work (especially after the expansion finished). So
be careful there. Some people had a trouble losing their dog or horse
misteriously, I guess this is why.

Glitch #29: Confused Basket
Source: Message Board
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The explanation said that your basket could hold up to 30 crops in one
time. How about non-crops item? For any sellable item (like honey, eggs),
the game will consider and group them as the crops too, so having 30 eggs
inside the basket will fill it up just like when you have 30 turnips or 15
turnips and 15 eggs.
Now, how about non-sellable item, like trashes, can or fishbone? Well, you
can throw them in the basket, but they won't be considered as crops
(because you can't get money from it), and no matter how much you throw
them in, the basket will still be empty.
You can make use of it for your fishing purpose. It seems like the game
was designed so that if you throw thrashes you get from fishing back to the
water or on the ground, it will be harder for you to get fishes. But since
basket is DIFFERENT with ground or water, you can throw the thrash to the
basket, and it will help you very much in getting much bigger fish, espe-
cially on the beach.

I'll make it fast and straight. During festival, you cannot give anything

thinking about the festival, and they will completely ignore your effort.

Glitch #31: No Time Zone
Source: Self, e-mail, including from "Neo Zero"
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I believe this should be obvious for most of us, but tell me, isn't it
weird when the times moves so fast outside but completely frozen inside
a building or the cave? Maybe the programmer DID realize it and actually
mean to help us when they made this, but if they don't, man, they do missed
a huge shot glitch.
Here's some addition from "Neo Zero":
"Time stops completely inside buildings and the cave. It has actually
always been this way with all the Harvest Moon games. This is actually
the first one I've seen where time stops in the cave, though, it's
usually only inside buildings. This helps you pack a little more time
into your day, letting you slow down inside houses and such. =)"

Here's the glitch taken directly from his/her mail:

"here's another glitch for you. I exchanged a chicken that I was holding.
when the exchange was done the chicken was still in my hands. When I set
it on the ground the chicken disappeared. The official Harvest Moon
disappearing chicken trick. I also found that sheep and cows disappear
if you trade them to another farm on the day of their festivals before
Barley brings them back the next day. The farm you trade them to has
them on its inventory but when you go into the barn they're gone! If
you don't feed your invisible livestock they will lose their hearts.
A way to get them back: send them to the festival again and wait until
the next day. Barley will have brought them back visible again. it's a
nice trick to not have such a crowded barn but you can't milk or shear
them so it's not a profitable situation.

Here goes, directly from the mail:

" I finally bought the basket and I was very pleased with it. I took it

accidentally threw it into the basket. Curses! I tried to empty it, but
nothing came out. I got angry at my basket and I took it to the
supermarket.
Why? Well, this was a long time ago. Maybe I wanted a refund? Anyway, I
set it down next to Jeff and left. Every time I went to the market,
there it was, sitting next to Jeff. About a month later, it appeared

(Directly from e-mail, with my useless reply or some sort)

1. The Basket
If you leave it outside during a hurricane or blizzard, it's still
there and it doesn't move an inch.

Re: Yea, but so does your tree, your house, your mill, and not to mention
your beehive.

2. The Doghouse
Neat decoration, eh?

Re: Yea, and so does all the laser beam on FFVIII's Ragnarok, and all the
polygons they make for FFX's airship.

3. Produce
....how come when you get honey, the bottle is included?
and...same thing with the milk can!

Re: Because, over all the other things, it's a village where a goddess
could easily be summoned by a rotten cucumber!

4. Zack
when he comes to get your produce... he zaps it [i mean, how'd he get
everything there? do you see him carrying a sack?]

Re: Uh, something he learnt from the Avalanche? Or from the Power Ranger?

5. Greg
the fisherman he just stands at
the dock, he doesnt fish at all

Re: Uh, did you realize whose shiny rod was that in your rucksack?

6. Louis
the bee researcher eh?... then why's he always in gotz's house?
ain't he supposed to be researching?

Re: and, uh, ain't a farmer supposed to take care of the crops instead of
messing with neighbors?

7. Oh here's something funny....

try raising the blue feather to Gray...
he'll think you like him... hehe

Re: Yea, the sort of thing you could expect from a person named ga.., I
mean, Gray. Oh, I forgot there are lots of kids here. So I would just
say it's because Harvest Moon came from Japan.

8. Tree stumps and the stone near the bridge
they regrow everyday =)

Re: Uh, that's..., well, good point

9. Legendary fish
why doesn't he take the fish? he just throws it away
and he grabs a photo-copied picture of the fish!
[it's black and white! so it looks xeroxed]

Re: Because a good fisherman didn't fish to kill. They fish for the pride,
which can simply be obtained from the body-print from the certain
fish or some sort. No murder involved. </serious_fishing_gamer>

10. lil stones
nothin can break them except your hammer

Re: and how about lil May? Not even a hammer- uh, yeah. There are
kids around and stuff. Sorry.

11. Marry Ann and....
if you marry her, enter the house at...let's say....12 and she'll ask
you what you wanna eat [she won't cook anything!] and talk to her when
she's infront of the fridge, she'll say she burned herself "again!"

Re: Luckily I didn't marry Ann, nor do I have the desire to, so I'll pass.

12. If you check the bridge, you'll see that the fall is frozen
then, when you go to the waterfall, it's still running

Re: Haha, that's supposed to be the Anti-Freezing Magical Harvest Goddess
magic! Or rather, the programmer's "we want to let you people meet
your oh-so-adored deity even in the coldness of winter" rant. Or
something.

13. Pineapple is much more expensive than a gold ore

Re: Uh, when you can obtain infinite amount of gold inside the cave in
your backyard with a little luck and some help from your ol' hoe, you
can't expect high value as much as when it comes to a faraway fruits
grown for weeks with all the tears, bloods and daily watering. So I
guess that makes sense.

around and repositioning before you can pluck it from the tree, this
glitch costs a bit of time, something we don't have to spare in this
game, you can always get it but it takes a bit of repositioning."

Re: Yea, definitely agree with you. I remember I had to reload my data for
at least eighteen times in a row because each time my character woke
up, he WASTED SOME VERY VALUABLE SECONDS by EATING sandwiches even
though he'll still be tired anyway in the afternoon!!

Glitch #19: The Invisible Counter
Source: Self experience
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
See, in the game, your character really do have some kind of Stamina
Points or so. The Stamina determines how many times you could use your
tools or do some other works before you get fainted. At first you have 100
Stamina Points (or is it HP?) and for each Power Berry you ate you will
have 10 points more. It is TRUE although it doesn't seem to be shown to you
directly in the game. Of course it is not a direct glitch but it is some
kind of weakness of the game since it will be pretty nice if Natsume let us
know how many stamina points left, by giving us some kind of stamina points
counter (like they all have in any RPGs). So that we could plan what will
we do next and prevent the faint easier. There's also another invisible
counter, like how many fish you have sold. It is actually needed when
you're going to catch the Sea Bream (where you have to sell 200 fish
first). I think it will be better if we could just know how many fish we
have sold, so that we don't have to note them down manually on our own.

Another glitch that has been reported a long while ago in Message Board,
that is the missing horse. The person lost his horse and he can't seems to
find it anywhere in his farm. All my (wild) guesses is that maybe he forgot
that Barley had took it back, or the horse had disappeared after it got
stuck in Gotz's work (maybe he is upgrading his farm at the time), or maybe
it is just a really strange unreasonable rumor.

Glitch #15: The Lazy Sprites
Source: e-mail (?), additional confirmation by Zak Deardorff
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The report is that the person cannot ask the harvest sprites to do their
work. It was in winter and he/she talked to them many times, but they just
don't offer the job. I really don't know why this happened but I guess it
is because all of the sprites had finished their work in farm not quite
long ago. I think the Harvest Sprites won't accept any job one or two day
after they finished their previous job, like they need to take a break or
something. But then I really don't know for sure, perhaps it is just yet
another strange glitch.

From Zak: "It's probally because their hearts are below 2 hearts."

This is just about when you left your basket in any level of the mine. You
see, even if you forgot to bring it back, you still can have it back if you
go back to the exact level where you left it. Isn't it nice? The programmer
had give some extra memories in your data to remember that you have some-
thing left in the mine. It was quite a little thing, you know. I believe it
will be very bad if you lost your basket if you forgot to bring them back
and then you will have to spent more money to buy another one.

Hey, ever thought using your ax to your animals? No, don't you ever do
that because that might lower their happiness. Plus they will squeaks with
their funny sounds. So don't. Of course we have to say that it is smart
that the programmer realizes that we might try to do _that_ kind of thing
so they gave us that response. However, I just want to add some little
things. We don't get any response even if we hacked away villagers with,
let's say, a Sickle. We can hack them away but nothing happened. How about,
instead of having no response, make the people say something before we do
that kind of thing so we were prevented from doing that. There are many
kids playing this game and I just feel something's wrong imagining the
kids keep watering Elli or plowing Ann. So I guess it would be better if,
as an example, when I press Square to axe somebody, my action was canceled
and the person get mad at me. Of course, the person loses his friendship
points at me as well. So how about it, Mr. Programmer?
