--Storyline--
(Translated by Marie)

One winter day...
The protagonist, whose life has been the same day after day,
finds an advertisement in the mailbox.

"We're currently recruiting a new ranch owner!
Wouldn't you like to work with us?"

One week later...
The message saying the protagonist passed the ranch exam arrived.

The protagonist quickly packed their things, and
headed off to “Oak Tree Town,” thrilled about the excitement-filled
ranch life!

Full of life and with a love for children, she is the TV weather girl.

children’s programs and as an announcer, so she’s very busy.
On her days off, she looks after her younger sister,
chats with the elderly, and even in private works to help others,

"This is a very wonderful town, so I’d love it if more people come to know
about this town’s merits."

She does everything according to a plan, so she doesn’t fare well when unexpected things come up.
She seems mature beyond her years, and doesn’t often let her emotions show.

(Her dialogue in the screenshot)
"...Did you skin your elbows? They are bleeding. Please hold still."

The first news on this game by Harvest!

New Harvest Moon: Connect to The New Land Announced For Nintendo 3DS
Next Year of coming soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalagrin.gif)

News:

(IMG:http://I.imgur.com/5iwJNk9.jpg)

While Harvest Moon: A New Beginning came out last year in Japan and North America (with a more recent release in Europe,) Marvelous AQL are already working on the next title, called Harvest Moon: Connect to the New Land for Nintendo 3DS.

This week’s issue of Famitsu magazine shares the latest details. Similar to Harvest Moon: A New Beginning, you’ll have the option to pick between a male or female protagonist in Harvest Moon: Connect to the New Land. The farming will also be made to be a little more simple in the upcoming installment; however, the overall flow of the game will be similar to previous Harvest Moon titles.

As you progress through the story, you’ll be able to visit a safari, where you’ll get to encounter and take care of wild animals. In addition to having an increase of wild animals over time, the magazine reports that there will be about twice the variety of animals compared to past titles.

There will also be a new “Trade Station” feature, where crops and dairy products can be traded to other countries. Over time, the amount of countries which you’ll be trading items with will increase, and you’ll also get to visit them on vacations or to deliver items they might need.

Additionally, this time, there will be other ranchers who’ll serve as tutorial purpose characters, each with their own personalities to guide you through different aspects of the game. Harvest Moon: Connect to the New Land will also bring back fishing, and there will also be other features that involve playing in rivers.

Something interesting to note is that, the meaning of “Connect” in the title implies communication features, but it shares another meaning of “connecting to the game’s world”. A Streetpass feature will also be available for you to share personal data with other players.


Harvest Moon: Connect to the New Land is slated for release on February 2014 for Nintendo 3DS.

Whee! Glad to see this topic active; I was finally able to work on some website translation stuff again.

The website still lists only those three bachelors. Source: http://bokumono.com/series/tsunagaru/character/03/

Rega （レーガ）

“On rainy days we don’t get many customers... I should really to try to think of an event or something for rainy days to make them want to come.”

A young man who works as the cook at the restaurant.
He’s chipper and active, and immediately acts on his thoughts.
He’s skilled at cooking, so skilled that people come from far away to eat [his food].
His natural good looks and smooth talking draw others to him, especially the female customers.
Therefore, others may mistakenly think that he is shallow, but he is actually the serious type.

(Screenshot)
“I inherited this shop from my grandpa.”

His name is レーガ, which is literally romanised "Rega," but it could be Lega. It's the Japanese R/L-sound-thing, you know.

Klaus　〔クラウス）

“You seem so busy every day. Oh yes, you should come to my home next time. I’ll make a perfume with a scent that heals tiredness.”

He’s a very fine gentleman [dandy] who works as a professional perfume maker.
He is broad-minded and tolerant of others. As to scents he is a professional, so if you make a request and he’s in the mood, he’ll mix it up for you. Due to his calm nature, he’s becoming a person others can rely on.

(Screenshot)
“There’s a lot of nature around here, which is just what you want when talking a walk.
Minori, if you have time, would you join me?”

"Minori" is the default name of the female protagonist. The Japanese text uses the English word "dandy" to describe him, but that's a bit vague so I added the "very fine gentleman" bit because that's what I think of with the word "dandy." "Foppish gentleman" would work too. He's probably a little older than the other two bachelors, since the text doesn't describe him as a young man.

Mistel　（ミステル）

“There are a lot of valuable things in here, so please do not run around very much.”

The young man who manages the antique shop. Though he looks childish, at his core he thinks like an adult, and always acts in a gentlemanly way. Just like his older sister Elise (Irisu), he [has a] refreshing [personality]. He likes old things, so he deals in various things like furniture, accessories, art, etc.

(Screenshot)
“Hey, I have not seen your face before. Are you perhaps that new person I've heard rumours about, the ranch owner?”

Every time I write his name in Japanese it wants to autocorrect to 見捨てる (abandon--which also happens to be written "misuteru"), which I think is kind of funny. Apparently his antique shop doubles as the furniture and accessory shop.

Those other two (Nadi and the girl, Meno) aren't on the site yet, but it appears that, as Twilight said, Nadi is a gardener/landscaper. It also mentions that he's been on a journey. Meno's info is cut off, but I can see that it says she loves animals.
