He's a Jerk with a Heart of Gold most of the time.If you marry someone else though you become good drinking buddies. Jerkass: Marlin, if you get too close to Celia.It's why he moved out of the city and into the valley. Ill Boy: When Marlin was younger he was really sickly and weak.Hobos: Murray, who is some kind of subhuman manchild hobo.It's implied that they might have adopted him and simply never told him. Happily Adopted: Rock has literally no resemblance to his parents whatsoever.Nami and Muffy in particular aged very well. Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!: All of the young women in the town still retain their looks when they become old, they just have grey hair and a few wrinkles added.In Japan Lumina was bumped from fourteen to sixteen for Special Edition, but in the west she was bumped to eighteen. As the Darker and Edgier black sheep of the franchise, it has a lot of mature references when it comes to romance, especially when it comes to Muffy.Getting Crap Past the Radar: You can try to milk a bull.Education Mama: Celia really wants to see her son grow up to be a scientist.Dysfunction Junction: Not to the degree of a lot of other examples, however it's still there.Neither is the one on Romana's property.Dummied Out: The locked shed on your farm is never unlocked.Dumb Blond: Rock, who is possibly slightly more so in Another Wonderful Life.Her brother is dark haired, grumpy, shy, and shrimpy. Different As Night and Day: Vesta's blond, brash, friendly, huge, and strong.Defrosting Ice Queen: What the player does to win over Nami, and Marlin too.The DS installments based on this game are Lighter And Edgier, oddly enough. Dark-Skinned Blond: Cody and Rock, though Rock less so.Their descendants in DS/DS Cute are, however. Brooding Boy, Gentle Girl: Can be seen with Marlin and Celia, although they are not an official couple in this game.Muffy has this happen to her a few times, both due to you and not. You make this happen to Lumina if you play as the boy character, due to her Precocious Crush on you.Break the Cutie: If you break Celia's heart, then she, Vesta, and especially Marlin will never forgive you.There are fewer typos in the girl version, though. And the transition of Lumina as a love interest in the playstation version was a tad sloppy some scenes refer to her as Muffy. Blind Idiot Translation: There are several blatant typos and mistakes, plus a few glitches in the game.The Distaff Counterpart has this too, though Gustafa is a darker shade of red.Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: Muffy, Celia, and Nami respectively.Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Samantha, who seems to be so controlling that her husband avoids returning home from work as long as he can every night.Bishie Sparkle: Wally, who literally has a twinkle in his eyes at all times. This is dropped in ANWL where instead she's interested in Gustafa. If you don't marry Nami, a few chapters later if she's still around town, you can witness an event where she's talking to Cody with an implication she might have feelings for him.It's the only time they ever mention a harvest goddess in this game, and afterwards the topic is never brought up. Aborted Arc: There's an event in the game you can come across where the sprites lament that the harvest goddess is asleep, but maybe if they find nice things she will wake up one day. Unlike every previous game, time does pass inside buildings, characters age, marriage is a necessity to continue playing, there are no festivals, none of the previous characters made appearances, and the main character doesn't wear a hat. The game is something of a black sheep for the series, as it's the first to subvert many of the series' ancient constants. Each season is 10 days long, and most crops can only be harvested in one season. In the female version, a random male from the village will propose to you at the end of the year if you didn't get around to doing it. A marriage candidate must be chosen by the end of year one, or the game will end. It's also the first game to realistically imply your cows mating, though Takakura seems to try to hide this fact from you, which is odd considering your character's old enough to have their own children.Įach game has three eligible marriage candidates, except for SE, which has 4. It's somewhat darker in tone than the rest of the series, themes of adultery, divorce and loneliness are approached quite seriously, though nothing "child-inappropriate" is explicitly referenced.
