I remember having one of these topics AGES ago, and it seemed to go over well ^^ I might change the title, so if you have a suggestion, please offer them!
Some may be more obvious than the others, but they're still funny/cute/etc.

IMPORTANT THINGS
~RF3: If you're planning on completing all quests, make sure you do Sakuya's BEFORE
Spoiler:
you reveal yourself to the town!
Otherwise, she will notice you as a Wooly, and you cannot give her the cloth!
RF1:

RF2:
~In the winter, to the right of Max's house, and to the left of the hospital, there are two cute little snowmen!
~In one of the quests, you can get a back scratcher as a weapon!
~
Spoiler:
You're able to 'marry' the twins in the 2nd gen, even if you're a girl.
~When you marry Rosiland in the first gen, she gets more interesting after marriage dialogue then the other girls. In 2nd gen, Max will recognize you as his as his nephew/niece and ask you to call him 'Uncle Max'. This is the only time anyone ever mentions being related to you in 2nd gen no matter who you marry. <--- Sneaselfish
~Gordon will never recognize his birthday when you give him something for it, even when he tells youu when it is. <--- Sneaselfish
~Alicia will never give you a love reading on Julia. She will also never give you a love reading on anyone in 2nd gen. <--- Sneaselfish
~Ray has a secret wedding dress sprite thats unviewable ingame. <--- Sneaselfish
~In 2nd gen, you can get weapons as quest rewards that you are not able to forge yourself, only upgrade. These include the backscratcher, pitchfork, big knife, rainbow lance, and Gorgeous blade. <--- Sneaselfish
~Leann seems to be the only one that acknowledges the Flower Festival the day before it starts.
The twins' relation to the Sainte-Coquille family is never mentioned when you don't marry Rosiland, even though it's canon. <---Thanks Dark Desert Road
~In 2nd gen, you can dress your character in different outfits! Most are diff colours of the original, but there's also a weddign dress and a Chipsqueak costume (if you're a girl) and a wooly costume (if you're a boy.)

RF3:
~Ever notice the G sign Sayuka sometimes gets in her left eye?
~You can fight with both a carrot, as well as 2 leeks XD
~All the bachlorettes names end with an "A", an "E" or an "N". (Unless I'm mistaken XD)
~You can catch the little birds and butterlies by walking up to them and pressing A when the little red sim thing appears about them. <---
Spoiler:
This is helpful to know if you're wooing Sofia.
~In RF3, you can talk to the statues in town while in your wooly form <---Thanks Sneaselfish!
~Oh, one other thing I discovered... You can try to throw stuff through the door to the random dungeon gateway. If you do, You'll get a notice saying not to trow stuff inside. :lala: <---Thanks Colin2011!
~On the loading and saving screen, if you move onto and off of a save file, the image on top changes randomly. More different styles occur when you are married to someone in that file. <---Thanks Ragnawind!
~A couple more RF3 food weapons - in addition to the short sword carrot and the dual sword leeks, you can also make and fight with a daikon large sword, Pia's large fish sword (called a dekash) made from a tuna, and a hammer/spear (not sure which) made from a pineapple. <---Thanks BlueTrillium!
~Other non-food "weapons" of interest include Karina's basket and Sofia's parasol/umbrella (both classified as staffs, I believe), Collette's lollipop (ax), Marian's weird trumpet/syringe thingy (also a staff), a short-sword spoon, a "toy" hammer, dual blades ladles, and both single and dual back-scratchers. <---Thanks BlueTrillium!
~You can also fight with farm tools, up to and including the watering can and fishing pole. (not the brush or clippers or magnifying glass, though, just the ones you can upgrade). Another amusing weapon is the "safety lance"... <---Thanks BlueTrillium!
~In addition to Sakuya's G sign in her eye during her "greedy" pose, Collette's eyes also change from her normal brown to purple flames when she's in her "hungry" pose. <---Thanks BlueTrillium!
~To me, Daria's "rainbow" pose always looks like she's smashing Micah's head in with her hammer...it's really at just the perfect height... <---Thanks BlueTrillium!
~I'm not sure if this counts, but Marjorie sounds like Michael Jackson when she laughs. JS XD
~Everyone knows that you can select different villagers when you play a Multi-player random dungeon. Rusk, Shino, Carlos etc... Usually, the person you pick never changes the way they look, but if you buy and change into a swimsuit and then start a Multi-player dungeon your new character will also wear his/her swimsuit. (That is if you choose the character who actually owns a swimsuit.) I'm probably not the first one to discover this, right? <--- Submitted by Colin2011
~When you talk to Collette as a Wooly, she talks about eating you... Eep!
~QUEST SPOILER!
Spoiler:
When you do a quest where Carmen asks questions, there's one where she asks if you like girls with brothers or not. In one option, you can say you like the brother XD
RFF:
~While the manual does not mention this (and most of us probably know this by now), looking up at the sky while next to someone and waiting for around 15-30 minutes in-game (seems applicable only to the bachelorettes) may trigger a conversation. Some characters have more than one conversation in the same area. Also, each girl has their special moment with MC when you do this at the beach during summer. <---Thanks Zafreed!
~Also in Frontier you can make the runeys bounce by hitting "A" during the loading screen. :) <--- Thaks MagicShootingStar
~You can buy many things from Evelyn's store, including furniture, plushies, art, and clothes! Among the clothes is a hero's outfit and a wooly costume!
~Yue and Mei are in RF3! They stay in the Inn however, and they do not have a face sprite on the map. You can buy stuff from Yue, and change your name with Mei!
~When you marry, each girl says the title differently. Also heres a video featuring all of the opening dialouges:
<--- Thanks for MagicShootingStar for the link!

RFO:

Extras
~Egan never gets an angry face at anytime during the game. There is however an angry face sprite of him in the games program. <--- Thanks Sneaselfish
If you have any, just post them here, and I will add them to the list! You will be given credit of course!

Another small thing I found: Try going to bed while your wife is stretching. If you time it right she will get stuck in a stretching animation loop until the screen goes fades away to the next day.

To me, it looks like its an apple in Collette's eye when she strikes the hungry pose.

RF2 stuff:
When you marry Rosiland in the first gen, she gets more interesting after marriage dialogue then the other girls. In 2nd gen, Max will recognize you as his as his nephew/niece and ask you to call him 'Uncle Max'. This is the only time anyone ever mentions being related to you in 2nd gen no matter who you marry.

If you marry someone who has a rival in the 1st gen, they will instead have married Yue by the time you start 2nd gen. This includes Jake, despite his dislike for humans.

Gordon will never recognize his birthday when you give him something for it, even when he tells youu when it is.

Alicia will never give you a love reading on Julia. She will also never give you a love reading on anyone in 2nd gen.

Ray has a secret wedding dress sprite thats unviewable ingame.

In 2nd gen, you can get weapons as quest rewards that you are not able to forge yourself, only upgrade. These include the backscratcher, pitchfork, big knife, rainbow lance, and Gorgeous blade.

- You can go inside the school without opening the door (Cammy's quest does not count).

In RF2 if your mother is Rosalind and Max is your uncle and he even points it out, doesn't that mean Leann would be your cousin in the second generation. So would you still be able to have a fake wedding with Leann even though she is your cousin (if you were playing as Aaron)?

If you can that should be added :lol:.

For real!? Why didn't you tell me sooner!? I need to try that next time I play!

On the covers of all the games the protagonists are all holding a different tool. Raguna holds a hoe, Micah has a sickle, and Azel has a pitchfork. But Kyle isn't holding any tools... Maybe this is to symbolize that he isn't the real protagonist.

Also in Frontier you can make the runeys bounce by hitting "A" during the loading screen. :)

By that logic, you can marry Alicia and fake marry your twin cousins no matter your gender, and still be related to Leann(Alicia->Ray+Rosalind->Max->Leann) and fake marry her too. If you marry Dorothy, you can fake marry your Aunt Cammy.

Jake still refers to your child/you as human even when you marry Cecilia, even though his own son is no more elf then you are(only 1/4th elf) since he has to marry Yue. But he might not count you as an elf only because you don't get pointy ears like his son.XD

Egan never gets an angry face at anytime during the game. There is however an angry face sprite of him in the games program.

^Magic: The art of Aria and Aaron does have them holding a waterpot and pitchfork repectively. So all of the 'real' heros are drawn with farm tools in their official art.

Yeah, thats exactly what I was trying to get at. But they aren't on the cover so I didn't say anything.
