New info?[edit]

is there any new info or screen shots of this game and the way its going to be played? if not when can we expect some? Maverick423 18:12, 8 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actual title?[edit]

I know this article has the name pegged as being "The Island I Develop with You", due to an article by IGN, but is this official? Ushi No Tane seems to think that it's called "The Island Grows With You". Here's a link: http://www.fogu.com/hm7/

Babelfish translates the name to "Ranch story you the island which is brought up", which is probably the best translation we're gonna get from an online service. I'm just wondering if anyone here can read Japanese and can translate the title for me. Just so I know which is more accurate. Thanks. 88.109.18.196 18:41, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An accurate translation of the many accurate ones is Harvest Moon: You and the Growing Island. Break-down of Japanese: Kimi = You, to = and, sodatsu = growing, shima = island. 76.175.116.65 (talk) 19:31, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Situations"?[edit]

This article says, "It may not be released because of situations with HMDS." Can anyone clarify this? Crowstar^{Vaseline-on-the-lens-Jitsu!fwends!} 18:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please...[edit]

Don't add info it you don't have a source, and PLEASE don't just make info up. 66.67.148.151 03:52, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. A lot of this has awful grammar and false info. Crowstar^{Crow callsTalon Marks} 17:08, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What?![edit]

The VGBox Template got messed up.... 76.175.116.65 (talk) 19:22, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Character Info[edit]

Can somebody please edit the character information, WITH the correct names, sources/citations, and grammar? Whoever had the balls to edit some of the characters, they were somewhat off. Erriderate 11:41, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm adding more references. By the way, Ariella's English name really is Alisa, I saw it in a screen shot. 76.175.116.65 (talk) 23:50, 25 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Layout[edit]

The layout of this page is pretty messed up ("Animals" under "Mineral Town Visitors"?). Is that on purpose? 68.3.112.163 (talk) 06:49, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

have an farming adventure be amarried live on a farm on an island —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.33.56.62 (talk) 23:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible grammar, spacing, unecessary info, and the like[edit]

Who came in here and changed out most of the English names into the Japanese ones? If you go to Game FAQs there are lots of screen shots of character dialogue, revealing their English name. It's better to use these, especially as the English release is approaching in about a week. Let's act like we own the game, even if some of us don't.

Also, just about every sentence for character descriptions doesn't have spacing between periods and commas! Who did that? I'm correcting it right now. Plus a lot of information and word-structuring doesn't sound encyclopedic.

I'll do my best to fix this. Anyone else notice the quality of this page sinking? 76.175.116.65 (talk) 00:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rivals and wording[edit]

Saying that person B is person A's rival means both A and B are fighting for the same thing. Thus, it's incorrect to say that a male character is a rival of a female character (when playing as a male) when what you really mean is that the male is your rival for the female character.

Stop changing the wording back to say that a male character is a female character's rival and vice versa. It makes the information incorrect. --Eajs (talk) 23:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Messed up Article![edit]

Someone messed up the format... completely. Seriously. Under references there's a table of contents and under Gameplay there are the type of people that can move onto your island. 76.175.116.65 (talk) 19:29, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
