Skytree Boy #3 and 3oT Animal Details | Posted at 04:54 PM 14 October 2016This week Natsume revealed the third male marriage candidate in Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. Dean is a florist with a passion for flowers. He and his mom, Carol, moved to Skytree Village to find a nice spot to plant a mysterious seed left to them when Dean's dad passed away. This strange seed doesn't seem to want to grow anywhere else, so Carol and Dean are hoping it will sprout in this better environment. Dean worries about his mom because she hasn't always been healthy, but since his dad passed away, Carol has become weaker. The Natsume social media mega-rancher, CeeCee, has been trying to show off the next Skytree Village premium plushie, but her photography skills need a bit more tweaking. You can watch her attempts at taking a viewable image of the next plushie on their official Twitter feed. Maybe it is time that the sun was plushie-fied? You can't grow crops very well without some sunshine! Skytree Village is still set for a November 8 release in North America. The NIS America special edition can still be preordered, but it is expected to go out of stock soon. No info yet on when the Bluebird edition or Bobcat edition will be for sale. Thursday (the 12th) was the last day of the Bokumono-themed Cafe Hikariya in Japan. No more Spring Herb Tea, Lulukoko Kiwi Soda, or 20th Anniversary Cheesecake. Did anyone have the chance to visit? The North American release of Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns is still scheduled for sometime in early 2017. This week let's cover the details of the livestock animals you can raise on your farm. Your animals will have the standard qualities: friendship hearts, stress (I haven't brushed Buffa in a while...), health status (元気 ), birthday (Winter 29 year 1), personality type (ようき or "lively"), and festival wins (0). Animals will also have by-products (収穫量 ), product level (副産物レベル ), and fur (毛並 ).

• By-Products is the number of items you can receive per harvest. The max is 20. That's a lot!
• Product Level is the animal's plus-quality goods. E is the lowest, and S is the highest. The higher the Product Level, the greater the chance of plus-quality appearing when you harvest. You'll collect both normal and plus-quality at the same time! You will receive a combination of the two types totaling the max number of by-products (e.g., 15 Milk and 5 Milk+). In this version of Bokujou Monogatari there's no need to have one animal reserved for normal quality and a second reserved for high-quality goods.
• Fur has no affect on your animals' products, but it will be a factor in the seasonal livestock judging festival.

Another animal parameter is the animal's size. You can have giant-sized animals if you feed them the right type of treat. The portrait of the animal will appear larger in your barn notebooks as they continue to grow. Until next time! - Cher (A wind storm is coming tomorrow.
