I finished the main story of Sos1!

Thanks chaosinventor !!! I fell asleep right after making the post but I'm still so happy ahhhh
Who all did you marry again? I remember Mistel, but my memory is kinda crap lmao. I don't think I'm ready for another playthrough, but I've wanted to try dating him next!! I'm so attached to Kamil though, this file has been an absolute blast.

get the game get the game get the game get the game get the-

Please PLEASE do yourself the favor of experiencing Oak Tree Town one day ;__; !! A lot of people hate the farm and trade system but it's supposed to be the "better" Grand Bazaar (there are a TON of references to GBz). I feel so much more fulfilled having completed SOS1 than I did finishing Trio, in all honesty.

I honestly prefer SOS1 because it's just one town to manage. Don't get me wrong, Trio has so many nice folks in it, but I only end up going to one of the three towns 99% of the time. It feels much more disconnected than Oak Tree Town. SOS1 is a longevity game as well. It seems like there's not a lot at first, but that's because it's spread out over years. You don't get family vacations until you're married and you get to visit each of the unlocked countries once a year (total of 7 years wow!), it takes a hell of a long time to unlock Ice and Tropical country because those are longevity vendors, there's Safari unlocks to do...there's just SO much that comes after playing the game for the long haul. It feels like you can do everything for the Farming Tips in Trio within the first 2 years, and then everything else like town ranks is stupid simple after that (maybe 2 years at best with multiplayer help). Takes the fun out of playing. 
Then again, I'm one of the few players that actually LIKE playing these games to year 20+; I know so many people that just ...stop after getting married/having kids. lmao

I try to encourage people to keep playing even after kids because there's so much people keep missing! I hear all the time "wow, I didn't know x happens!" or "x says y?? didn't know that!" and it's suffering

But I totally understand the motivation dip; it's the kid phase!! When you have the kids, there's that period where they're babies and it's so hard to continue with your work because you want to see them grown up right now. 
(The kids in SOS1 are so cute!! And they get to interact with Melanie and Lutz, it's so nice ♥ )

I hope you enjoy it!! 

Good luck!! You most certainly can talk to me anytime!! 

That must feel great! Congratulations! Man, I never got to unlock the last two vendors, but I was trying. My 3DS XL is literally falling apart, so I’ve stopped trying to play on it until I can either get it fixed or transfer to a new one. SoS isn’t my favorite of the 3DS games, that would be 3oT, but I still really love it. I’ll always come back to it.

Kamil is so sweet, I'm glad you've played so much on that file!! I married Mistel and Angela (and am always ready to gush about them!!!) but I still wanna go back for Nadi, Lillie and Agate. I have more playtime in this game than probably the majority of games I've played.
