Well, there is Dia. Despite the fact she was pretty shy, her outer character could be quite cold and even snobbish. I see very few parallels between her and Mary. I'd like it if we got another bookworm that broke the trend.

If the farm girl is like Celia I would be fine, but if she is close to Nori or any of the newer farm girls I'm going to most likely pass.

Celia was okay. I liked her in AWL. In DS/Cute she kinda lacks personality, but she is still more interesting than some bachelorettes from the new games.

And a bookworm... I think that Maria from MM wasn't Mary's clone, but I'm still not sure here. I haven't played MM.

Yeah, I would like to see some magical bachelor/ettes :) I'm wonder who they are going to be. Maybe kitsune or a merman?

We had only two magical bachelors: Kappa (MFoMT) and the Harvest Lord (AP).

You forgot the wizard (AP) :3 But still, the redhaired megane-girl would be nice as a bachelorette. She looks somewhat like the kind of girl I like.

Well, what haven't we gotten as a special bachelorette before? We've gotten...

A Goddess (FoMT, DS, HoLV, AP)
A Witch (DS, IoH, SI, AP)
A Mermaid (DS)
A Princess (DS)
A Water Priestess (GB)
A Nun (ToTT)
And a Hermit/Alchemist (ToTT)

What else is left?


Lol you shouldn't have asked. :p
We haven't gotten a ghost, catgirl, angel, devil/demon, genie, sprite, pirate, jungle girl/amazon, elf, fairy, vampire, werewolf, time-traveler, etc. They got tons to work with.

Except with all of those choices it sounds more like for RF characters

And yet some of the ones that you mentioned also sound like RF characters.

Witch (RF, RFF, RF3, RF ToD(Pandora is an evil sorceress but can do magic)
Mermaid(RF 3)
Priestess (RF ToD) Odette is technically a Dragon Priestess/Cook but she is a priestess.
Hermit(RF3) Daria lives outside of town in a house by herself and the game even jokes that her family is her artwork. She might be too obsessive with her artwork and rainbows but would you really want her to live in town lol?

Basically if it can happen in the RF it can happen in the HM series and vice-versa.

HM does not focus on the fantasy element nearly as much as RF does so it is simply much more plausible the things you mentioned will appear in an RF game. Especially considering the fact RF has already used some of the things you mentioned. Not all of them are marriageable but they are there.

Elf characters, faeries monsters,
Spoiler:
Bacchus is an ex pirate also there were pirate goblins, a time travel like thing with young Stella, and a vampire like thing with the Irises.


And as for thinking "if it can happen in RF it can happen in HM" that is not entirely true. Sure it is possible they will have similar character types/features but it is not something you should expect. Rune Factory and Harvest Moon are not made to be equal. They are separate series now made by different companies and they are not trying to make the games the same. Just because it happens in RF is no indication at all that it will happen in HM and vice-versa.


Sorry for the ranting but it bothers me when people say things like that DX.

I thought Mary came from Maria? Maybe I'm wrong but Maria was also a bookworm in MM, idk about snes.

SNES Maria was more about church than reading. At least I think she was.

MM Maria came out after Mary. Still it's not really fair to call her a Mary clone since her original self came out first. That aside even though she was a bookworm in MM I still wouldn't call her a Mary clone. Besides liking reading/working in a library they don't have that much more in common.

I think SNES Maria and MM Maria are same character just in different games. If I remember correctly MM had all the original HM bachelorettes in it(Ann, Maria, Nina, Eve, and Ellen) and plus some. It was rumored that the HM64 bachelorettes were the decendants of the HM girls. So if anything Maria came first and Mary is just a Maria clone lol.

Yuri is one of bachelorettes.

On this pic you can't see her heart, because you are shopping. In ToTT you couldn't see the flowers of love/friendship, when you were buying stuff too. Yuri has also appeard on the bachelor/ettes art:

Hooray! I'd like to marry her on my male file, then.

offtopic quickly, I counted five bachelors, five bachelorettes, and the MCs in the headline thing (which I wasn't allowed to use as part of the quote. ;_;). Does this mean the missing bachelor is the male MC default and one of the missing bachelorettes is the female MC default?

No, I don't think so anyway. I'm pretty sure they just haven't announced those two yet.

I think so too. I'd make sense they'd give the main characters chibis since they are the main character.

And "special" candidates can sometime be excluded from things like that because they are special. So it is definitely possible that the MCs are not marriage candidates. And even if they are there will most likely be another special bachelor/bachelorette like in IoH/SI.
