It'd be nice for some sort of confirmation since they still haven't put up the rival farmers as villagers on the main site, still leaving people who want to marry Fritz and Elise in the dark. Seeing as how they revealed a new bachelorette, it'd be nice for a bachelor reveal too.
I'm guessing salmon head would be the bachelor update to complement Menou and even things out. I will be surprised if Fritz and Elise aren't marriage candidates because they are in the proper age category. At the very least, if farm rivalry is a game mechanic, they would be special candidates, I think. However, their profiles aren't even on the regular character section, they are in the system section. Who knows. We haven't had special candidates beyond "hidden heart color" in a loooong time so it would be nice for that to come back. (I'm more excited about what seems to be improvements in the economics system)

Everyone keeps talking about Rega's blush face but all I saw was his smiling portrait >>

^He looks so cute. :O

I'm still hopeful Fritz is a bachelor. If he is, hopefully he won't have crazy requirements and/or less content than the others like in ToTT.

Speaking of ToTT, I hope Cam is not a bachelor.

^Swimming is always really slow and cumbersome in most games I've played, so I dunno if I'm excited about that yet. Hopefully it isn't hard to do (like in New Leaf- hello tendonitis flareups). I had to stop playing ToTT altogether because the "hold down R to Run" thing (maybe Japanese only) killed my hands, and probably my DS too :p
Like if you just move around with the circle pad like normal instead of having to mash buttons to get anywhere. Then it might be fun.

I just got 900000000000000x more excited about this game! I loved everything that I saw and am so glad that character customization is back. On the website under the MC section (idk which one it is exactly. I was just clicking stuff xD) they have videos that show some customization options for both the female and male MC.

Everything looks great and I cannot wait for more info and the Japanese release!

EDIT: Rega is so adorable! ♥

@ Nurse Fin
Point taken. I suppose I'm most excited because I hope it means a Swimming Festival like olden days T Q T
Or at least some kind of new exciting festivals.

I'm just glad the towns look like TOWNS again, rather then just huge fields with houses built on them.

Yep, JP version only. That was changed in the EN one by Natsume. I'm guessing they found it annoying as well.

If Cam makes an appearance in the game, maybe there's hope for my fuzzy wuzzy Murrey :shifty:

I loved a new beginning but the town was just so.. empty like. even with all the buildings it was just lacking. i love the cute cozy feeling of an actual town.

So if Cam is confirmed to be the guy special candidate from past games, who wants to take a guess on the bachelorette? Is it too much to ask for Keira, Leia, or Emiko? All three ladies deserve another chance.

i never really thought nintendo was too involved in the hm games. it always just seemed like they had the game on their consoles, but that was about it.

well I guess this is a good thing. It's being used for a good reason.

I'm actually pretty worried about Cam returning, I mean, sure he was the most popular bachelor in ToTT, but will he be a bachelor here? Also, is it safe to assume that there will be no rivals?
