ok - so I saw the video, but rather than cluttering up that topic with all the "what if's" (it probably will be anyway) I thought I'd bring my musings back over here, where it's already been happening.
So... did you notice - when it rains, the villagers run for shelter, but the kids go out to play in it. Guess that means longer to complete tasks when it's raining.
Tautal (or Tautai?) ran from the sharks, but when she went close to the clam it started snapping at her. Still, that's a lovely looking black pearl. Puzzle, methinks... avoid the sharks, harvest the clams.
Does the tribal chief replace the esteemed elders now, so there's only going to be one? I wonder... Did you notice there are two totems behind his pedestal at the amphitheatre - I wonder if a villager has to become a master in MORE than the usual areas to become a tribal chief? I wonder if he does much around the village other than "contemplating" and delivering addresses? I wonder if the villagers benefit by listening to his lectures - if he imparts any wisdom to them? Looks like taking the tribal chief to the amphitheatre is the equivalent of ringing the gong - wonder if you're limited in how often you can make him address the village?
wonder if we'll have to find a way to drain all those puddles out of the amphitheatre
ok - enough - apart from saying I'm even MORE eager to have it now than I was 20 minutes ago, if that's even possible! Think I'll transfer my money into Paypal NOW, so it doesn't get spent on other things and the game is suddenly released and I'm BROKE!
