New Characters

Ange - Erich's daughter. A cool young girl who rarely shows her true feelings. She has difficulty letting things go, but if you gain her trust, she may be able to open up to you.

Erich - Ange's father. He is the manager of his wife, who lives in the city. He keeps a close watch over his daughter, who rebels against her mother.

Agi - An artist who likes to paint pictures. He is the type to thoroughly pursue his interests. Despite his appearance, he likes to eat a lot, and when he is hungry he loses the ability to focus on anything.

Mina - She works as a hostess at the Cafe in Zephyr Town. Most of the customers go there just to visit her, and she is popular enough to have her own fanclub.

Melanie - Mina's grandmother. A cheerful old lady who enjoys life to the fullest while managing the cafe with her granddaughter.

Wilbur - The carpenter of Zephyr Town. He has a rough personality, but he is a skilled and dedicated worker.

Claire - Wilbur's wife. She usually has an easygoing personality, but is scary when she is angry. She always has her hands full taking care of her naughty son.

Kevin - Claire and Wilbur's son. He's an energetic boy that loves to play pranks.

Gameplay features

Jump and double jump - When you press the A button, your character will jump. Pressing it again in mid-air will make them jump higher. (Sounds like Smash Bros physics..)

Cracking ice - When winter hits Zephyr Town, the river will freeze over. You can use a hammer on it to break the ice, so you can fish.

Throwing Items - You can now put items in the shipping bin with a throwing action. Now you can have more fun with shipping items! (Let's hope that the protagonist has a good aim...)

Horses - You can ride your horse around your farm or the town. There will also be horse races.

Recipes - You can learn new recipes from Melanie at the Cafe.

Multiplayer - Have fun in winter with activities like fishing, running around in the snow, and even a snowboarding mini game!

*Drools over Ange*
Is she the kid with white hair, otherwise *Drools more*

[Lunchbox]

Wow. The characters look so little and cute that it's nauseating. :|
Ha.
Thanks, Fin!

[Strongbad456]

Thanks for the new info. The game looks good but I still don't know if I want it. Also Ange? Personally I'd translate it as Anju but according to the official site, it's Enju.

[HarvestStar]

I love Mina.... she should be eligible(unless she's secretly married) but I wonder why she isn't..... or maybe she just has an INVISIBLE heart meter, like the WP in IoH, or the goddess in FoMT.

I got Ange because "enjeru" is "angel", but it's "enju" so... for a name, it sounds most like "Ange" to me.

I find it kind of strange how everyone in town except for these two new marriage candidates (Agi and Enju) all have very European-sounding names. >>

[Charmy]

European names and dutch clothes.... What a good mix.

[Lunchbox]

European names and dutch clothes.... What a good mix.

Maybe that's what I find odd about these characters...

[Charmy]

Hmm.... Now I think too many people are wearing hats....

[Aries]

I can barely tell the boy and girl main character apart when you are in gameplay. The girl is the blonde one right?
P.S Can you swim in the game? They really need to make a harvest moon that you can swim in. Oh! that would be cool and you could construct a pool on your farm... I am getting of topic any way... the game looks pretty good.

[Katie]

WOAH. That tall blonde bears a slightly creepy resemblance to me. 'Cept prettier. Her hair is like, the same. XD And little demon child girl is adorkable. Very original. :]

[Kazumi-Chama]

Ange look pretty I hope she's marriagble
This is going to be great!!

[Charmy]

Looks good but I still don't think I'm going to buy the game....
But, I'm most defianetly going to make Ange fan art.

[IWuvKotomi]

So is it Ange or Enju? *confused*

Either way I like her and Agi. ^^

Well, going by the site, it's Enju. Though if it were written like a real name, I'm pretty sure it would be like Ange (enjeru = angel, so enju = ange?).

[Jason]

I'll change the names when the english version comes out, but I just added their pictures.

[IWuvKotomi]

Wait so are Ange and Agi non-marriagable characters?

Cause if they aren't marriageable...T-T

[FoodAssassin]

they are. the official site says so. I dont know why they were placed in the townspeople section...

[Jason]

The official site is wrong! <.<

*looks around some more*

*edits the townspeople section when nobody is looking*
