Real Time Mode vs Skip Mode

[minko]

I've been playing both RTM and SM but I'm afraid that playing skip mode will kind of show me the whole game in a too short time and i'm gonna get bored to keep on playing the RTM.
Do the girls have lots of topic conversations for the meetings?
What do you think? Which mode do you play?

I play both, but playing skip mode won't show all the game, there are lots of things that can only be done in Real Time Mode. Giving presents, holidays, season events, etc. Skip mode is useful to speed things up. Getting the special items would take forever in real time mode.

I play real time mode, but mostly I fast forward the time (especially since I tend to leave the game for days at a time when I'm busy).

Skip Mode, i only use it to quickly unlock places I want to go to on my next date (i.e. to make it before the end of the season, or to collect stamps), and to up my stats so I can go to dates with better stats to suit my purpose xD

i see...
but why would i want these items? i mean, is there any reason besides "to get all the items"?

I have no idea if the items come in handy or not. I only know that I was tired of looking at my empty items bag. I can't wait for Christmas, though when I can buy Rinko her first present! I hope that she likes it!

I switch back and forth between Skip and Real Time only because in Real Time you run out of things to do, where as in Skip Mode you can play day after day.

The items boost a little the growth of your parameters for a while. After that they just stay there.
