Does it tell you what dish you have to make? And do you Have to use the ingredients you get? This cooking festival is confusing me.

Yes, the mayor says the dish to make and gives the ingredients. I'm not sure you have to use the ingredients though. That is something I would like to know too. Also the contests are pretty random. Let me explain. When in the cooking contest, you're on a team of 3 against a team of 3 from the other village. Your team is random and the other team is random. Not only that but what food the other team and your team present(except for you) are random.

Hmm that sounds pretty hard to win. I thought the cooking contest was going to be like other Harvest Moons. But this is really different. It doesn't sound that bad though (unless your teammates cause you to lose).

And actually you only get the ingredients for the first four contests, in summer you have to start making your own dishes with your own crops/fish/whatever


And, uh, I only know what which bachelor/bachelorette likes which outfit from Rheas guide on ushi no tane

That makes sense. Do you get to make whatever you want or is there some kind of guide line? Like it can't be a desert or something.



Oh I didn't know they have a guide. But whatever it's not that big a deal. Thanks for bringing that up I like the idea of having to figure out the best thing to wear. Do they have an outfit they hate too?

Really? I haven't gotten to Summer yet. I suppose I'll have to start doing my own cooking.

The cooking contest is confusing me more now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif) . It sounds fun though, and I'm sure it will make more sense when I actually play the game.

Nevermind this post. I figured it out. The item wasn't the right quality.

One question: does the quality of food/crops/forage stuff deteriorate?
Caused last time I picked a bunch of flowers, then after 20 days or so the quality is gone o_o; like 0 star o_o;

and how do you wrap presents?
I cant find the wrapping paper services (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif)

Yea you better save some crops for cooking in Summer.
I join with a failed dish just for the sake of get the hearts from harvest goddess T_T

Mmmmmm Kamil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jack_embarassed.gif) I know all the ladies would be going after him D:
But Micheal and that Kiriku guy are just cool too! <33333 Why can't harvest moon games have bachelors like these guys? D;

Wait do you mean why can't other Harvest Moon games have bachelors like these? Because This Harvest Moon does have bachelors just like that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) . Personally I think Micheal is sorta creeper like and Kiriku is to similar to Bob (but I guess I already made my opinions know in that other post).

I'm glad that there are so many great candidates in this one game! I want to marry alllllll of them. Except Michael; he's creepy.

^*High Five* yeah for someone else who thinks Micheal is creepy. Anyways I just hope your spouse doesn't just stay in the house all day after you get married.

-_- I hate when that happens... "Don't mind me honey I'm just working my butt off all day farming and giving you a home while you sit around all day wondering what I will make for dinner."

I know, I really wish they actually DID something! Even if they just left and went into town, it would be 10x better than lurking in the house all day.

What I kind of meant (lol) is that we should have designs for these bachelors like in this game more often. I actually really like Kiriku, he looks darn smexy <3 Micheal is actually pretty cool but I agree with the above posters, plus, he reminds me a bit of Vaughn and Skye. I love the art for this game; it's smooth and really pretty. He looks a bit boring too, in persoanlity terms I guess. The bachelors' arts are really awesome, I adore it, especially Kamil's (:

Edit: Eh, just by looking at Micheal once again, its kind of the same stereotypical shy guy with glasses. Like the previous bachelorettes I mentioned in another topic... Why can't Natsume realize that there CAN be hot feisty girls/guys with glasses on? -sighs-

Kiriku's hair is a little bit too long for me. I saw wedding pictures of the characters, and he looks almost girly with his hair down. I also wish Kamil's hair was a teensy tiny bit shorter. Then he would be perfect! It's weird, though, because I like Gale's hair in AP.

And Fiore, I'm not sure if I've seen a "feisty hot guy" with glasses on. Sorry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalatounge.gif)

It's so true just because you're married doesn't mean you should stop doing things. At least in some of the older Harvest Moons the guys kept their jobs after marriage (MFoMT). Wait do these guys even have jobs?

@Fiore the art is really good in this game. It seems the art gets better with every game.

I also like the art, it's so pretty. Especially the villages, they look amazing! The characters look great too.

wait... where can you see their wedding outfits?
