Hiro creeps me out

Celianna wrote:Harvest Moon can definitely have some childish art (GrB for example), which in turn makes all the characters look like ten year olds ... but in ToTT we can clearly see that Cam and Kana are drawn in a much more mature way. So when I see Hiro in the same game, being marriageable as well, it just creeps me out. He seriously looks like an 8 year old compared to Cam and Kana. I feel like a pedophile, really.

Now, maybe if he looked like this instead:

Then I'd have no problems courting him. Otherwise it's just creepy. I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this.

I don't mind the way Hiro looks ingame but maaaaan that second version is HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. It makes me sad inside. I'm still courting the real Hiro ingame though, to be honest the only thing that bugs me about him is how he speaks. :/

Nori looks pretty mature to me,

Maybe her personality, demeanour, and her dialogue... The oldest looking bachelorette looks 14, at the oldest... But hey, it's okay if they look really young since your character also looks really young... That's just the art style of the game... The marriageable people are supposed to look young... I think Mikhail actually sticks out because he looks a lot older than the rest of the group, and even then, he only looks high teens... I mean, I guess it's good since it would look weird if your character looked a lot younger or a lot older than the marriageable bachelor/ettes... It's not a bad thing that they look so young... This is why I'm not phased by Hiro since he pretty much fits with most of the other marriageable people...

I disagree completely about Mikhail being the only one to look adult.

Age wise I see them as

[11:10:00 PM] ソル:Ash seems around 19
[11:10:00 PM] ソル: Hiro seems 14
[11:11:00 PM] ソル: Kana seems around 24-25
[11:11:05 PM] ソル: Cam seems 20-22
[11:11:10 PM] ソル: Dirk seems around 20
[11:11:21 PM] ソル: Mikhail seems 28-30

[11:11:21 PM] ソル: Alisa seems 19
[11:12:04 PM] ソル: Reina could be 19-20
[11:12:08 PM] ソル: Nori seems 20-22
[11:12:22 PM] ソル: Georgia and Laney both seem around 20-21
[11:12:29 PM] ソル: Oracle is old

I was just talking about it in Skype, that's what the time stamps are.

They all have to be around 20(except for Hiro....I mean seriously look at him) because they can drink.

But that's just how this game is... Plus, with all this talk about Hiro, I'm surprised Alisa isn't getting any controversy... Nor any other bachelorette... The oldest looking bachelorette seems like Reina to me, and even she looks like a pre-teen...

Cam, Kana and Mikhail look like they're in their early-mid twenties. Ash and Dirk can pass off as in their late teens. Hiro looks like an eight year old dressing up.

As for the bachelorettes, I haven't met Alisa yet, and I think Georgia looks like she's in her late teens, with Laney in her early twenties.

Though this is Japan we're talking about, they make everyone look much younger, but not to the point of making the characters look like they're in completely different age brackets, despite being both marriageable. Then again, they already did it with AWL: Rock and Griffin.

Spoiler:

Haha, you're funny
Bigger build...
Ash looks scrawnier XD

^Well, sure they're supposed to BE a certain age in the game, but they definitely don't LOOK like it... But again, it's not a bad thing they look young...

That made me giggle.

Maybe it's just the way Hiro wears his clothes.

I guess we just have different tastes on what people look like age wise... Kana looks borderline mid-teens to me at the oldest and Cam, just a little less, but I will give it to you that Cam looks older than Ash, Dirk, or Hiro... None of them look like they're in their 20's to me... Heck, some of the adults look pretty young to me as well... Oh, and the last reply was to Soru...

Lol it's true.
I think Ash is too..I don't know...plain
Plus he looks 14, so all you people who say Hiro does, so does Ash lol. Seriously, Dirk looks young, but not that young

I listed all those ages based on how they looked. I just took into account they all had to be around 20 to round out at a certain age. I completely disagree that they all look like teenagers. Go to a college and look around, people in their 20's look young.

That's how I justify it. Hiro does still stand out as one of the youngest looking ones, though, in my opinion. I guess because Ash looks taller, and something about him makes him seem more mature. Maybe his face shape? His hat? I dunno.

@Sora: Those ages seem about right.

I like the second picture of Hiro that Celi tweaked better too, to throw my two cents in.

Also it took about five tries to post this because of the flood of posts on this thread lol!

Hey, this is Riviera from Lemmasoft!! Lol.

People have different opinions... To me, they all look like they're in their mid-teens or younger... I guess it depends on how old you are... Why are we even arguing about this? Who cares how old they look?

That's unfair, since it's drawn to make them look tinier in that slumped state. I can do that too:

He still looks like he's bigger.

Besides, their drawings in ToTT can be a bit off ... just look at Kana's supposedly left arm; yuck.

most look at least 16 or older to me.
except alisa and hiro are creepy young. she looks 12 to me, he looks 8 at the oldest. oracle looks a bit young too but not as bad as alisa.

Actually, I couldn't find Ash's normal face because the girl who posted the topic with the sprites has her photobucket bandwith exceeded.

I didn't do it on purpose
