The world is not so big that you will take a whole day to go around (like AP), but it is not so small that it will take you little time to go around (like FoMT). This Harvest Moon game has a relatively comfortable feel to it. But I loaded up my game recently and found that I was almost at the end of Year 2, with many accomplishments. As much as I recalled from the past, I had assumed that I barely spent a year ingame. I was rather surprised by how much I enjoyed this game.
