Ding ding ding! We have a winner! And the game is so damn addicting, too. I borrowed it from a friend, played for 5 days, and had to buy a copy. Luckily it had just gone Player's Choice. I proceeded to play every single day for a long time. Also, 3 of my friends wereso enamored with the game that they got copies, which made 4 towns I could visit.
You'd have to play for at least a year to see everything, since the game is in real time. Certain fish and bugs can only be caught in specific seasons, different things happen during the day than at night, there are tons of items to collect, different fruits from different villages, and, if you visit other villages (sometimes even if you don't) town residents will move away and new ones will come in.
All that for $20. Damn, I need to go play that now.... But I don't want to spend hours picking weeds from my abandoned town.
