While I do have some apprehensions about minor things, I&#8217;m just really looking forward to it and I can&#8217;t wait to play. So, when <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sami_spoon\" target=\"_blank\">Sami Spoon<\/a> asked if I was up to making a guide with her as she&#8217;s playing the game in Japanese, I quickly agreed and thus, it began :P <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/hhd.crystal-dreams.us\/\" target=\"_blank\">You can find the guide by clicking here<\/a>! :) At the moment, the layout itself is up. The pages that will take the longest to complete are Items and Character stuff just as there&#8217;s so many. I&#8217;m hoping Buildings will be the next page we get up. But yes, it&#8217;s been a good way to help somewhat quell my excitement.
