Haha Marley, that last comment made me laugh outloud.

But yeah in the first game I originally planned on marrying Candace, but when I had to wait for her to move in I kinda started to get impacient and when I met Cathy I felt she was really cool and nice. After you marry her though, shes pretty boring as a rock. I had planned to marry Cathy again in AP because I want normal colored hair kids, but my cousin made me relise that in ToT I originally was going to marry Candace. At first I didn't think I wanted to because the idea of being surrounded by blue heads would be weird, but then I realised there are so many people in the game that have different colored hair that they wouldn't even seem different. Now I just got to think which genders I want and what there names to be...

Man, Kotomi's kids don't even look real! Blue hair, blue eyes... they look like little superhuman children. I want them! x_o They're adorable.

It irritates me to the core that I have to pick an older child and a younger child. I want the older son and daughter. They're waaaay cuter than the younger kids.

I decided not to mess with planning genders in this game. I'm letting my spouse pick, and then using a theme to pick a name. I have ten names I plan on using for the main character, and each them is going to marry two people (I'll be doing this by going through the new game+), and each has their own theme for naming children. I even made myself a chart so I could keep track of everything!

It looks messy copy-pasted though.

Crystal Talian, you are PREPARED. All I know is that I do want to get married. I tend to go with the flow game-wise, I was planning on marrying Gill(twice), but the first file I had Jin to ten hearts and still couldn't marry him because of . . . something, and the second time I, I mean Ronni, totally fell for Luke, although he lost a little of his charm after we got married. But I think that everyone did (so I heard).

So if you marry the H.K. or H.G., is it like you're a single parent?

Side note: Today I realised that Kathy/Chase made more sense to me than Kathy/Owen. I'm bad and I should feel bad.

I'm always prepared! I think I may have had little too much fun with the names though . . .

For the children, I came up with eight male, and eight female names per theme. It's more than I'll need, but it'll give me some variety to chose from. I picked some strange themes though!

The themes I'll be using are:
Sweets
Outer Space
Cats Species
Greek Deities
Arthurian Characters
Mythical Beasts
Plants
The Wizard of Oz/Wicked
Gems
Japanese Names

Basically. Supposedly the Goddess pops outside your door one day and says, "Look, we made a baby!" and God actually delivers your child... at least, I think. It flashes to a black screen (protect your innocence!) and then he's holding the baby, and there's no one else in the house (he comes to the house! He looks much too big in there.), so I assume that's what happened. I watched it on YouTube. >>
But after that they continue to butt out of your life and leave you to raise the kids all alone AND THEY NEVER PAY CHILD SUPPORT, NOT ONCE, THOSE LAZY LAZY BASTARDS.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) That would be funny. I get the feeling Kathy would not take any of Chase's crap, mister! She'd have him straightened out in no time.
Makes more sense than Chase and Maya, though... well, other than being the chef and the girl that loves to eat, they're terrible for each other.

I am Kale, and my children will be Riley and Kiki. I don't know what gender Riley will be yet, but it's the older child. Kiki, obviously, will be a girl.

See I agree Marley. I think the older siblings look amazing. I don't horribly mind the younger daughter, but I absolutely hate the younger son. I don't know what it is but I despise him. I thought about letting Candace pick the kids, but the idea of getting the younger son would make me want to reset my game. That hair is just way too spikey for me to handle. I mean, sure, I can put a hat on him, but it just won't be the same.

Ok anyways.... I really like both the older children. So I'm not sure if I'll have two daughters or an older son and then a younger daughter. Arg, the possibilities...

Ahem!

I /agree/ with the Harvest God and Goddess being LAZY BUMS. x3

While the oldest children being the cutest isn't 100% all the way for me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) I love the youngest daughter, and I would have her as an only child if possible. >:C But it's not! Lol...

:O Spikey hair? /Not/ cool? Lol!! But I don't have any strong dislikes for any of the children as far as I know. ^^

Oh and Kotomi is making me wonder. :C I'm not sure, the pictures I've seen it looks like the children's eye and hair color are the exact same color. Although, their eyes are supposed to be a bit darker I believe. I think that's quite odd looking, but that's my oppinion. C: I just can't wait to see whom I choose altogether as my permie spouses. x3

Zboy: Wholeheartedly agree. In every family I've thought of making, none of them have that younger son. He just looks weird, especially with a bandana. His head looks square.

Leiko: The children's hair color has a tendency to by a smidge darker than the parent's. Dunno why.

I'm insanely excited to marry the Wizard. It worked out awesome because I like finishing the game to the fullest extent. I already decided I definately want to marry the Wizard, and then I also get all the rival children. Plus, I love the wedding in the middle of the night. ;D

Day 46

Like Tree of Tranquility, you can adopt the wild animals after befriending them. Apparently it is much easier to befriend the wild animals than it was in the last game. Now with the amazing new animal whistle, you can also teach your pets to do tricks. If you master the tricks you will have better chances at achieving first place in the new pet competition which takes place at the Animal Festival in the Spring.

If your pet wins the Animal Contest, it gets a crown.

And yeah, the animals are much easier to befriend. I'm working on the black cat; it will suit my witchy family~.

Day 45
Like Tree of Tranquility there are the many rival kids that come to the village about 2 weeks after the parents wedding. The list is as follows:

Jin and Anissa = Van
Julius and Candace = Angela
Calvin and Pheobe = Heath
Chase and Maya = Dakota
Toby and Renee = Matt
*Gil and Luna = Vivian
*Owen and Cathy = Roy
*Luke and Selena = Lucy

(*New Rival Couple and Child)

Oh I know, when I was talking about darker. I meant... Aren't Kotomi's eyes a darker blue then her hair. In the children's images that I've seen so far, it looks as if they are the same blue in both the eyes and the hair. Which, I think, are kind of weird looking. But! I wouldn't know for sure. x3

Why didn't I see this topic before? I'm gonna come here every day now. =3

You all made me sad though, calling Ignis a lazy bum. =[

I'm planning on a older daughter and a younger son I suppose. I have to live with the son's hair. I don't want it, but it has to be. =\ I'm gonna name the daughter Valarie and the son is gonna be Calcifer. Yay for Howl's Moving Castle reference. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) That's at least for my Ignis babies. I think I'm gonna go after Julius next and name my kids Fabulous and Bling. >.>

He IS a lazy bum. XD

According to the dialogue section on the Japanese wiki, Ignis claims that his reason for not helping you with your work is that he's too powerful. If he tried to help, he'd just get in the way. So that's his excuse for being so lazy.

But he really likes sleeping and alcohol (grape and apple cocktails only), so, umm... That sounds pretty bum-ish to me. At least your kids do know who their father is, lol. He at least shows up for family events.

I saw a Japanese comic in which Hikari, who was married to Ignis, tried to describe what Ignis is like to their older son. She said that he's a wonderful person who loves to sleep and loves to drink alcohol...

Well, the comic ended with their son running away crying, thinking his dad is a good-for-nothing, while Ignis angrily comes out of nowhere and asks Hikari, "Can't you think of any OTHER way to describe me!?" XD

Though he's lazy, he is very attractive, and I LOVE his kids' hair and eye colours, so... I think I'm gonna go for him in my second girl file. ^^ (Already promised my YouTube audience that I'll go after Luke on my first girl file.)

That sounds hilarious. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

I just think he needs love though. He's a big tough guy that doesn't like humans, so he needs love. :3

And yes. His kids are very cute. :3

Where did you find that comic though? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Lol! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Yeah, I'd like to see the comic. ^^ It might make me reconsider his lazy-bumness. Though, I'm not sure if I want to have more then one file of red haired children. x3

Any idea's out of these who I should marry after Ignis and Julius?

Gil
Chihaya (Not able to call him Chase. >.>)
Wizard
Toby

In my oppinion, I would marry Toby. He seems quiet, sweet, and serene. Plus there arn't many Toby lovers in the forums, that is unless I just never came across them. Gil is cool too, he's quiet and thoughtful. Chase personally bugs me. I dislike the fact at how he can be so rude. I mean I do like how he treats Maya and it would be good for her to end up spose-less, but I just don't really like him. EVERYONE seems like they are going to marry the wizard because he seems cool.

Basicly, in my oppinion, I would marry either Toby or Gil.
