I'm glad you like it. Man, that sucks. I hope the doctor can do something for you.

This looks interesting. I'll have to keep an eye on it.

*bump*

Hey Noviwan, sorry it took me so long. Here is your Gaius picture.
(IMG:http://i399.photobucket.com/albums/pp77/Epona_2008/RF3Gaius.jpg)

I hope you like it.

Okay, I'll start drawing his picture soon. Do you want me to make his body structure more manly like I did to the others?

The reason the shirt disturbed me is because I've only seen girls and toddlers wear shirts that short.



I could try to draw Gaius for you if you want. Is there anything about his design you don't like and want to remove?

Kyle exposing his belly button always disturbed me, that's why I changed it.



Thanks... I think.



I drew Micah how I always imagined him; a manly guard.

Hey guys, I just wanted to show off some of my RF fan art. The story goes I have looking at the official art for the heroes of the RF world and decided to redesign them. Hope you like them as much as I do.

Don't worry Mizukithepanda, it's a handheld HM.
The kid can only grow up if you do an event that involves giving Royal Jelly to Alice as far as I have heard.

I'll keep looking for more information on how the kid works.

Big news!!!

Your kid actually grows up!
I'm still looking for pictures of the kids that will show up on this site, sorry.

Hey guys, info has been really slow so I don't have any big updates, but apparently you can buy or make a record player and listen to music from old HM games.

And another character is returning, check the link to see who it is.
Character picture

Two new scans. Mostly villagers.

Sorry they are so big.
I'm not interested in RF4 anymore, so I won't be bringing you guys any more info.
Oh, the confirmed Japanese release is July 18, or something like that.

A member on Ushi no tane has the game, and this is what they posted.

Being able to customize the layout of your farm is an interesting feature, but also being in charge of Yamabiko Village's layout as well really makes for a personalized experience. The villagers have specific-style of houses, but you control where their house is located in the village, the decorations that line the streets, if the town even has visible streets, and so on.

Besides the farm and town, you can also customize your character. Later in the game you can give your character the opposite gender's hair style and clothing outfits.

The first season of the game is rather slow. The game opens up come Summer season, when you can start customizing and building more shops.

One interesting aspect of the game are your festival wins. When you attend a contest-type festival, there may be several categories with three different classes within each one; the seasonal crop festivals have a vegetable, fruit, flower, and 'other' categories you can enter your one item into, and within each of those you can enter into the beginner, normal, or intermediate judgement classes. Each class has different grand prizes. When you win a festival, you get a "brand" that will increase the amount of profit you earn by shipping that type of item. Win the cow festival, and now you'll earn more money when you ship milk. Win the cooking festival, and now your shipped cooked recipes earn more as well.

Just some small update.

The every day Fantasy Life has been Enhanced.
As a king, somtimes you to take care of various matters, some other time you have to grow vegetables and fruits in the fields, and comunication with villagers is possible.
You can freely enjoy an exiting life in a Fantasy world, head to dungeon and face a scary experience.

Battle is easy with enjoyable action.
You can fight with blades, spears, staves and various weapons and magic in battle. Ahead of the dungeaons, traps have been set and strong monsters await.
Invite townspeople, or group with monsters, let everyone come along.

Choose between a male or female hero at the start of the game, and enjoy a dense romance.
The player can choose between the male of female main character to become as an avatar.
Enjoy interactions with both male and female residents which can become potential brides or grooms.
Communicate with the villagers to get closer, and start dating as "lovers". Spend time with tour boyfriend/Girlfriend, and finally get married after a dense love experience, and before you realize give birth to a cute baby.

I can't find dialogue of the Heart Events, only common dialogue. I'll keep looking.

I found the prices of the travel agency.
South Country - 10000g
Cherry Blossom Country - 50000g
Ruins - 120000g

Edit:
I updated the info. Nail and Iroha are popular so people have already started giving out where their Heart Events are located.
Also, it seems like something bad happened to Nail in the past, he specifically mentions his dad being *bleep* and basically caused him to leave home.

The first page is getting so big that it is hard to edit all the info, could some of you guys start a wiki page for LoB?

I've been stalking some sites where people are talking about playing the game, and so far it's sounding like the best Harvest Moon since the 64.
Great dialog and character interaction.
Festivals are interesting/fun.

I'll update the info sometime soon. Do you guys want me to find some dialog from the events between the MC and marriage candidates?

You guys are welcome.

I'm going to slowly update the info page with the towns people's likes and dislikes, etc.

@XxKurisutaruxX. I don't know much Japanese(yet) but I do know someone that might help me with translating the character descriptions. I'll see if they are willing to help.

Edit:
The someone couldn't help me, but they told me where to find all the character descriptions. I've updated most of the characters.

Man, this game has a lot of new stuff.

The game came out today in Japan, and the main site updated for the last time.(I think)

Main site
You can look at full pictures of Amir and Witch Princess.

Two more towns people were added.

Not exactly new news but a really huge piece that people may not have fully noticed.



I guess this is why it took so long for Hashimoto and his team to finish all the cutscenes.

From 3th February 2012 - 8th March 2012, Domino's Online Shop will choose 100 participant to present "Harvest Moon:Land of Beginning" game to.

Or something close to that.
