Hah, I played this game 3 days in a row and beat the main story (about 9:40 playtime) XD
I was saddened to hear that the main story would end at 500K price (36th day), since I had just hit the 200K payment already.
Was a little surprised to find (from various sources on different forums) that people had problems hitting the last two deadlines. I beat the 200K (with only about 105K about 5 days before deadline) one with over 250K left over, and beat the 500K (with only about 150K 5 days before) one with 560K left over. Basically, in both cases I basically quintupled (or even more) my liquid cash in 5 days XD BTW Most of the extra cash (as in, the cash over the required amount due) was made the day before and the day of the payment date. The days before were devoted to buying enough stock (often putting me even lower than what I started with), and selling enough to reach the required balance on the due date.
Thank goodness for Food and Armor price hikes XD The food ones tend to last two or more days at a time, which means that so long as you stock up on food at some point, you'll make a mint if you fill your store with nothing but food (the highest price ones on display). Food is also an item commonly sold to you by customers, and they don't really expect much for them.
BTW: If you've hit a food price hike with only a bit of food in stock, don't be too afraid of buying the marked up food in the market, you'll still make a mint unless the shortage runs out all of a sudden.
At least, that's my experience with food price hikes, maybe the game is a bit more random with other people *shrugs* Oddly, weapons seemed to suffer regular price drops (one time swords were low priced for like a week and they still haven't properly recovered for me, what happened to the rumored price hike on longswords? That never happened for me, so long have I had 5 of those swords that never seem to normalize in price >_<).

I've beat the game only buying and selling food.
Khundes:
I just beat the game, and it's one of those rare games that I feel like bothering with post-game because of how much fun the whole deal was. Part of it is novelty for sure, but even then it's also very clever.
And tomoya-kun, food price down bits must have been hard on you, or did you just go dungeoneering until they passed by?
tomoya-kun:
Food price down bits killed my capital by 25% each time or something.
Sosseres:
The English publisher of this title ported another title recently (from the same company) by the name Chantelise. That seems to be a more RPG like game. I think it looks fun and I want to promote more ports so I bought it at Steam, don't have time to try it out this week though. Anybody have any opinions on it?
