| 4.  WELCOME |================================================================
+=============+
Welcome to my FAQ for Harvest Moon:  Save the Homeland.  Since this is an
adventure game, there is no walkthrough per se.  Instead, this FAQ is broken up
into parts.  First you will be given an explanation of choices you have for
playing the game.  Next, you will be given all the possible commands you can
give with a brief description of what those commands are.  The last part is
dedicated to strategy.  This strategy will give you an idea on how to fulfill
the various endings associated with the game.  Input is appreciated along with
constructive criticism.  If you wish to e-mail me thoughts on this FAQ, better
ways of doing things, other strategies, etc., feel free.  Make sure you put
Harvest Moon:  STH FAQ in the subject.  If you don't, I'm liable to discard the
e-mail as spam.

| 5.  OVERVIEW |===============================================================
+==============+
Harvest Moon:  Save the Homeland takes place in a mythical place (got to love
games that start like this).  Anyway, your grandfather passed away and left
instructions for you to come out to the country to make sure his farm was doing
good.  Unknown to you, though, the small town that this farm is located in is
in danger of being developed over.  That's right, those heartless developers
want to increase the tourism to the area so they are going to level the town to
put in casinos, a resort, and other things to make it a real moneymaker.  You
now have a mission to accomplish.  That mission is to prevent the town from
being turned into a commercial mecca of tourism and sin.  You have nine ways to
making this a reality to accomplish your mission.  Good luck.

| 6.  THE ENDINGS |============================================================
+=================+
Harvest Moon:  Save the Homeland requires you to complete one of nine possible
endings to ensure that the town doesn't get covered in concrete.  The
strategies for completing these endings is in Chapter 9.  Each ending requires
you to fulfill certain requirement in order to get the desired ending.  Since
the game is non-linear, you could end up with more then one ending waiting in
the wings.  The endings are (in alphabetical order) listed below:
Azure Swallowtail, The
Bluebird, The
Cake Contest, The
Endangered Weasel, The
Fishy Story, A
Goddess Dress, The
Horse Race, The
Treasure Hunt I, The
Treasure Hunt II, The
