Day 25: Are you a completionist when it comes to HM games?

Yes.... and no.

For the first play-through, you will always make a couple mistakes here and there so you can miss a few things. Therefore, I typically wait until my second play-through to go all out with the completing (I write some pretty thorough game notes which makes completing much easier).

Now, with some games its pretty easy to complete everything (AWL, HM:SNES, etc.) so I totally go for completion right away. I don't know why I get so obsessed with completion, but as Harvest Moon is kind of a free-roam world, its the only way to feel like you really 'beat' the game or 'won' it.

When it comes to some HM games however, I don't care enough to make a completely perfect file. HM:HoLV is a more difficult game (and on my PSP which I don't show very much love to) so my main goal is just beating the main storyline and getting married (ya, didn't even get that far. That's how quickly the hype died out for me)

All in all, I'm a completionist when it suits me and when I can find the time ^-^
