51 Days of Animal Parade!, Amazing Super Duper Countdown! Options

Instruments eh?

Wonder what Toby plays. And the Wizard. And the Tailor sisters.

[Crystal Talian]

Ah, yeah, Chase plays the flute. Because Marvelous couldn't settle for making him a sympathetic orphan with an annoying official pairing; they had to make him a musician, too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) As soon as I get around to playing as a girl, he's the first one I'm marrying.

I don't see the big deal with the barn. I only keep one type of animal in the barn anyway, and that's cows. I used to have a horse, but I don't really need it now that I have the Animal Taxi service.

My Riley is talking now. When they get to the talking stage, you can choose how you want them to address you, as well. Riley calls Vivi and me "Ka-chan" and "To-chan," which is sort of like the Japanese equivalent of "Mommy" and "Daddy." Sorta. The options are that, Mama and Papa, Okaasan and Otousan (much like the English "Mother and Father"), and one other, I think. I can't remember it, though.
Unlike in ToT, though, your kid just stays in the crib. It doesn't totter around adorably and you can't talk to it.

After marriage, though, it's pretty much the same 19/20-heart line over and over, at least the first time. There's actually not much more dialogue than in ToT, as far as I can tell. Hate to burst bubbles.
Though, since I can't fully understand their dialogue, I get to make up what they're saying. Wheee~!

First: Aw, that's too bad. At least I go 'What the heck?!' when I see my child staggering around outside like a zombie.

Second: Thank goodness. Collecting dialogue from ToT is hard enough. I don't know how I'm going to handle it in AP if the characters don't repeat themselves.

[Cherryblossom]

I like the inclusion of the instruments, kinda adds a little more to the characters. Wonder if that has anything to do with the names of the districts... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif)

It's a shame that there's not much more dialogue though. It's always nice to not have to read the same thing over and over.


Twilight: OMG, I love your set!! Kyon-kyon is so adorable!! <3 <3 <3
(Err...sorry for the psycho fangirl routine...^^;)

Day 29

Today's fact will deal with another new feature in Animal Parade: The Vacation Houses! There are a total of 4 houses and they are in the Garmoni Mine District, Main Town, Meadow, and Toucan Island. Each house is the ssame size, except a different colored theme. Each one does not contain a bed, so you can't sleep, but you are welcome to place furniture anywhere in it. Don't worry though, you won't have to rebuy your furniture if you want it in the same house. When you place furniture in the vacation house, it will just make a copy of the item. You are able to save in the houses.

[Sunny D]

Those vacation house are soo pretty too. Plus being able to save somewhere else is neat. Also . . . all the MCs play instruments? I love musicians, so that's happy news for me.

Also, Ecode, I lurve your set.

[IdlersDream]

These past few facts are making me more and more excited.

Vacation houses? How much do they cost? Because I know in previous ones they cost waaay too much and would take years to even get to the point of being able to obtain them.

[Sarah]

Oh well now I'm all excited to get this game haha. When I first joined RS I was obsessing over this game even though it wasn't set to release until after Christmas this year wich was pure torture. But then all that excitedness over nothing got kinda lame so I didn't really pay too much attention to all those false release dates and cool facts about the game. So, it's pretty exciting for me to magically come back to RS and see all this new info and an ACTUAL release date :)

[Marie]

Vacation houses? How much do they cost? Because I know in previous ones they cost waaay too much and would take years to even get to the point of being able to obtain them.

100,000G, with the exception of the one on the tropical island, which is 200,000G.

[quincy52]

I don't see why you can't just place another bed in the vacation house to sleep in it...

[Marley]

Well, you can't buy beds.

I bought one of the vacation houses. They're not too expensive, but they're not too useful, either, aside from being a save point and a spot from which to access your cabinets and such. At least, I think you can save in them. o_o I haven't tried.
The other plots of land (particularly the Desired Plot) are much more worth the cash. And 100,000G isn't much, really. Money comes very easily in this game.

Annnnd, not everyone plays an instrument. As far as I've seen, I think it's just Calvin and Chase.

[quincy52]

Oh, I didn't you couldn't buy beds anymore.

So you have the same color bed, even when you change your house theme?

[Crystal Talian]

I think the bed changes to match your house. Not sure about that, but I think that's what I heard.

Day 28

Today's a fun fact day. ;)

Today's fact deals with someone amazing growth spurt. Luna, that short little girl who worked at the Tailor's, is now all the other girls height. The other thing, is it seems that she hasn't gotten any new clothes and she is still wearing the same ones, with the same length. Another person who seems to have shrunk.... is Owen. He is now all the other guys height. There is however, one thing they forgot to shrink with him. His head is still huge! These changes to these characters where probably made to just match the bases of all the other male/female characters, which is easier for Marvelous instead of having to use different sizes.

[Sunny D]

I didn't really mind Luna being smaller. Seems like I might be the only one, but her being taller is cool. Owen being super-deformed, however, is not. I wish they hadn't done that!

[IdlersDream]

You can't buy beds? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaeyes.gif) I always liked all my furniture to match.. Ugh.

So do you begin with a large bed or what happens when you get to the point of marriage?

[Marie]

When you upgrade your house to level 2, your bed magically turns into a large bed.

I do miss buying my own beds, but... Each of the four interior styles for the house has its own bed, so at least the bed does match with the interior of your house!

There are two characters who tower above the rest: the god and goddess. They're almost freakishly tall. They tower more than a head above your character!

[Marley]

I always thought the Goddess seemed like she was almost twice as tall as I. And then there are the Harvest Sprites, who are all really really small. And Finn's even smaller~.

I got used to Luna's growth spurt, but I preferred her shorter. :[
And by the way, Zboy, it's Marvelous, not Natsume, that deals with the models and such. Natsume's just in charge of the American localization.

[ZBoy]

I looked at your post Marley and all of a sudden thought about what you said about Marvelous and Natsume, and I thought to myself "Yeah I know that..." Then I looked at my post and realised I did put Natsume.... I was having a really out-of-it morning. Thanks for pointing it out. ;)

[Yuna]

I can't wait to see Luna bigger! Sorry, but it was just her height that contributed to making her look like a child.

[ZBoy]

See, I really didn't mind her height. It made her unigue. ;)
