However, I've been playing it for several hundred hours now and find it quite satisfying on several levels. The graphics and sounds are quite pleasing and it can eat up the hours!
Bottom line - you should go with Farm Together 2.
Is there anything big that you can think of off the top of your head, just curious? :)
Mainly, to determine which game is going to be a better fit for you and your wife, it would be best to know what you would want out of the game.
In both games, you can have a variety of crops, trees, fish, animals, flowers, and decorations.
Both games are casual and crops and things do not wither or die if they are not harvested immediately. Animals don't die if not fed, they just won't continue producing resources until they get more food. Crops and flowers will continue to grow and produce even if you do not water them (watering flowers makes them more valuable and watering crops makes them grow faster). Both have tasks that can be done to earn the ribbon/medal currency. Both have houses that you can build on your farm that you can enter and decorate or do house tasks in.
In FT1, there are weather effects that can affect the value of flowers and the speed of growth of crops. So far, FT2 does not have this feature and may never have it.
In FT1, you use the coin currency to feed animals. In FT2, you use resources from the crops or trees you harvest to feed your animals.
In FT1, you can choose to create a farm with a variety of terrain features, including an all flat farm. In FT2, you don't have that ability but you can unlock the ability to change terrain features with a building that unlocks at farm level 24.
In FT1, you place market stalls and other buildings on your farm. In FT2, you build market stalls and other buildings in a town off from your farming area. In FT1, if you want more resource storage, you build more market stalls and buildings. In FT2, if you want more resource storage, you upgrade the market stalls in the town.
In FT1, house tasks give you the diamond and ticket currencies. In FT2, house tasks give you the diamond currency and appropriate resources (like a painting or a food resource). In FT2, you can use house resources harvested as decorations (using items you can place in the house, like a plate for foods).
In FT2, you can change the ground type under your objects placed and terrain features (for example from grass to sand or snow).
There's probably a lot more that I don't know or am not thinking of, but when I think about something for a while, I lose focus and my thoughts become disjointed. I hope this helps to get you started with your decision at least. ^_^
That way you’ll be able to enjoy both of them and switching from FT1 to FT2 will feel awesome!
When FT2 came out I did what I always do before ever getting any game, I watch others play the game to see if it is something I would enjoy. I watch on YouTube and Twitch. Of course if you don't like spoilers, then that is not an option but I don't mind spoilers at all as I want to know what I am getting in to.
I have over 1100 hours in FT2 so far and my Nintendo Switch thinks I have passed away because I bought a Steam Deck to play FT2 on and haven't looked back.
I don't usually play anything in early access but these developers have been very responsive to issues when they crop up and get them fixed all while they are steadily working on their updates as laid out in their roadmap for the game. They have a very solid game so far and glad I decided to jump on when I did.
One of the best features of FT2 is the automatic tractor. That feature has saved my hands over the time I have been playing it.
And of course the graphics are way better. No more to say on that
While it's true that FT1 is a complete game and is awesome, FT2 just tops it for me, even though it's not yet complete. From my perspective, I'm watching it grow and want to be on the cutting edge of the game. I really look forward to new updates whenever they come out and to be honest, there's an awful lot already in the game - easily enough to enjoy it to the full.
But of course, it's up to you. For me, now that I have FT2, I don't think I would like to go back to FT1 graphics but that's just my own personal feeling.
FT1 has a pet dog or cat though, and horses, donkeys, etc. that are not YET in FT2. I'm sure they will be added soon. FT1 is done; no more updates or progression. They are too busy working on more for FT2. I love FT1, but just don't want to play it anymore. One thing I'm awaiting in FT2 is the choice of terrain for a new farm. I miss having that choice. I'm so very tired of spending days to get rid of the devs decorations, fences, pathways, holes, mounds, etc. I just want a flat piece of ground with just grass on it and perhaps a river running through it. I feel certain they are working on adding all the things we had in FT1. It just takes time, but they're on it.
If you think clicking your mouse is not an issue, then imagine that in your work day you have already clicked tens of thousands of mouse click doing your work and then go home looking for some entertainment and ended up having to suffer your wrist clicking another tens of thousands of mouse click in Farm Together. Over long term, this will lead to wrist fatigue and eventually wrist injury. I am not joking.
If you think you will not be clicking tens of thousands of mouse clicks in Farm Together, then you are deadly wrong. Look at those high level farm (basically what we called 'end-game'), they are HUGE. There are tens of thousands of crops and trees and flowers and animals waiting to be harvest. If each and everyone need you to mouse click to harvest, then it is a torture grind rather than relaxing entertainment.
I believe automation is key for 'end-game' (i.e. huge farm with many many many many many many harvest nodes). Hope the dev will focus and develop more automation in FT2 going forward.
If dev think cooperative play is the way to manage large farm, then they are solely off-direction. If I want to play cooperatively, then I will play MMO and not FT2. Maybe the dev can think about building a new Farming MMO where massive cooperative play is possible, but not FT2 which should be more focus on chill solo non-competitive play.
Right now, my right wrist hurts halfway to my elbow! Farm "Together" is not indicative of a solo farmer; however, I have 25 farmhands. My friend joins me often, then I go visit and help with his farm. I do make an effort to go visit other farms, too. I'd like to see where it is a "together" farm jointly made by two people and accessible by both at any time. I don't really like playing co-op and be locked out, because my friend is off line. I could at least, go in and harvest. On the other hand, I do enjoy having complete control over another farm with just the aid of the farmhands. I mostly play "offline". I use the whole map, so I do appreciate when other players come in and help harvest. I was blessed with half a dozen visitors this morning! I try to go visit their farms, but cannot find some of them online.
