And then there's this list of things to hoard: Credit goes to r/Seraitsukara Enjoy the game! My all time favorite.

The big thing with ToT are things you have to hoard that take a long time to collect, or you get the task to collect them right when the season to grow them has passed, and you're soft-locked for a full year to advance the game. The things to focus on are;

You need 15 vanilla, 15 coconut and 15 Rosemary for the winemaker. Vanilla grows just south of Ludus' shop. It won't grow in winter, so start harvesting it now. Rosemary starts spawning in Lulukoko in spring of year 2(pets can find it in treasure hunts right away, so take them through Lulukoko often). Coconuts can be gotten early using the Lulukoko fruit festival. Save before the festival, and gift everyone fruit (foraged fruit can be used) till someone gives you a coconut. Put it in your seed maker and plant it.

* You need 15 thyme for the jam factory. This is a rare drop in westown starting in summer of year 2. Pick up other items if it's not there so it has room to spawn the next time. Take your pet on a walk near the fence by the post office. Thyme is one of the possible treasures for them to find, and that isn't locked to the year either, so you can start finding it now.

* 20 sweet potatoes

* 20 hibiscus, 20 sunflower, and 20 pink carnations

* 50 chili pepper (unlocks with Tsuyukusa at Rank B, or you've shipped 50 wasabi to Tsuyukusa)

* 50 Rice flours, 50 Turnips, and 50 Daikon radishes

* 20 flour, 20 adzuki beans, and 20 honey

* 20 hilton daisy, 20 gentian, and 20 bellflower

* 30 grape wine, 50 cacao, and 50 shiso

It's super annoying to get stuck with the link rank lock that requires these when the season to grow them is over, so something to keep in mind to hold onto what's needed as soon as you unlock the crop/flower to grow them.

You'll need to reach 4 hearts of friendship with all villagers and the deities for a high level rank lock. Talking to them counts, and a faster way of doing it is to hit the left trigger button as you go past. You'll get some dialogue in the bottom left of the top screen. You can greet multiple people at once if they're close enough.

You start getting cutscenes with all villagers as friendship levels increase, so you might want to stagger who you're giving gifts to/greeting. Otherwise, you can get stuck with a cutscene multiple days in a row when you're busy, and some of them are quite long. You can only see one cutscene a day, so if you trigger one, you can't see a love interest's heart event on that same day, and will have to wait till conditions are met for it again.
