Since the rest of the game does not look all that interesting, I was wondering if that part was at least somewhat fine? I couldn't find any video, so I'm sorta curious how it happens.
Is it basically like most of the HM games and clones, where you fulfill the requirement, then get a short scene and then nothing else ever happens? Or do you get some build-up and stuff?

No. It's not like HM but it is just as entertaining I must say. I recommend you get it.
Basically what happens is you start out with nothing. Then as you progress you get more varieties of seeds/produce and animals. Events occur when you cook dishes and bring it over to other neighbor's house. There is no courting or so I think since you need to have a certain amount of sheep to marry girls. The highest being 25 sheeps for Clara. Right now I'm trying to get that. There is also a girl called Elizabeth that is so high and mighty that the Mayor refuses to let you try for her. He says you and her are worlds apart >_>".
I haven't upgraded to the 2nd House expansion so I dunno. If she's still unattainable after the upgrade there must be something you have to do. Since there's no guides and everything is new, I would give it a 7.5/10 overall. Really neat. Had me glued for a good 3-4 hours straight on a Sat afternoon and that hasn't happened in a year or so.

Crazy... I got this game, but, have not played it that much yet. Good to hear you like it, though.
I think I will try and put some time into playing it. I like games like this and HM.

I got married with the first one that I could, I have a feeling this game won't last much, so there was no need to bother getting the most expensive brides.
One or two years after you marry (I cant remember), you get a baby (mine was a girl), then the game get as boring as harvest moon, but harvest moon lasts longer.
Oh, and Elizabeth actually is the easier to marry, just let your food drop to zero. The first time she'll show over and give you 20 food, the second time she will appear again and give you another 20 food, the third time she'll appear and force you to marry her (even if you're already married), and it's game over.

So basically Elizabeth is unattainable without getting a game over?
I already upgraded everything. She's still "worlds apart" according to the mayor.

...Oh wow, so in reality the supposed most expensive girl is actually the cheapest you can get, and also the bad ending?

Yeah me too. 25 sheep is a lot. The dog won't do anything and they keep running away. Sometimes the offsprings will jump out of the barn for some reason and die. When winter comes I tend not to press L near the barn animals or they keep dying >_>"

Elizabeth forces you to marry her even if you are an girl?

No, if you drop any of your three survival parameters to 0 once while playing as a girl, Elizabeth does not even appear to help you. Mr. Newman complains about having to make Otto chicken (or something weird like that) and you get kicked out of the village and it is game over.
And in addition to that, making bed covers is harder than just getting sheep, so I guess that would make playing as a girl a little more difficult. You game over from one starvation mistake (instead of playing as boy where you can make up to 7 before game over) and marriage is more difficult.
This is made up for by the fact that husbands are more useful than wifes in the game.

This game will go one for years and years... You can upgrade your house 3 times i think. It starts to get hard when you have more land and WAY more animals. Its not bad at all. It keeps me playing...

Even when you have more land, you don't really have to use it all. I use the more land as a way to rotate crops fields or keep animals in a bigger place.

Anybody know about the requirements to marry the guy?? I'm playing as a girl, and I have my eyes on the butcher and the Mayor's son :3
Is there any benefits from getting married, like do they help us on our works or anything else?

To marry the guys you need to get a certain number of bedcovers made, then you will be able to buy a husband with the bed covers. Bed covers are a lot of work to make, so good luck!
Chuck and Hunter need 1 bedcover, Kai and Giles need 2, and if you want to buy Ray, the mayor's son himself, you will need 3 bedcovers! It's very tedious to make bedcovers and it takes 11 wools I think. Since you'll only get wool from an adult sheep once a year potentially, make sure you have a LOT of sheep to work with unless you want to wait forever to get married.
The spouses actually do help you a little. They bring in money, and some of them will give you stuff you can use, for example Hunter and Giles will give you meat. Not everyone gives you things though -- the women will give you nothing as wives except for Haru who will rarely give you something.
Also, your spouse will also bring in income, so you will get a bit of extra money each month. The most productive wife is Chizuru who brings in 500 Sal a month, and the most productive husbands are Ray and Hunter. Hunter gives you 1000 Sal every 2 months and Ray gives you 500 Sal every month; however, Ray does nothing else productive, while Hunter will give you meats sometimes.

Btw, Tokimeki Memorial 4 has been out for months.Haha, I know, I preordered the game ;D
I'm just too lazy to change my sig. It's been this since I first cleared Kawai's route in TokiMemo 3... so it kinda feels like it belongs there, ahaha.
But you're the first person to have pointed it out since the release of the game

they won't do anything if they are still young, you have to wait for about a year before those shelties become useful..
