Only time to find out about the weather is through the old man and that's once per day so if you forgot the conversation you can't trigger it again.Conversations don't change much through the seasons.Winter there's nothing to do but fish and mine.You need to talk to everyone or they will leave the island if you ignore them for a month (if I remember).Weather point system that you can't control (and there's no radio) that can wreak your crops (Go to fogu to figure out how to water crops and pray.).REALLY easy to get a kitchen and house upgrades compared to the newer ones.

Tons of events for everyone and you can just watch events too.

Marriage options are not so bad (Witch princess is in this one.).

No one seaosn crap like Two Towns, only limitation are materials

You can upgrade your farm through the whole season.

No freshness but quality does go down which can be fixed with fridges that are easy to access.After marriage option does more than the 3DS games.I'm going to list all of the good and bad of SI. Sunshine islands was one of my first HM games next to FoMT.
