Perhaps, or it was just an introduction scene or something. Idk.

Or the MC in that shot was already married, therefore the hearts were taken off for the other bachelorettes..? I don't remember if they do that for the other games.

Anyway, I agree that this reveal is sort of anti-climatic, but I reeeeally like Amir and WP's designs in this game. I've never played a HM game where I hadn't decided who I would marry when all the bachelor/ettes were announced. o.o

Just a guess.

I'm confused about Yuri being a bachelorette. >_< She didn't have a heart, did she? WP has a heart, and she's a returning character.

The argument I heard was the male MC was talking to her while he was shopping, and hearts don't appear like that.

I feel bad that the girls got Amir...I don't mind WP as a guy, I love her, but they could have done something new. That's just my opinion.

^^They do remove hearts after marriage.
I really like their new designs too.:D
^Actually, that's not true. There's a screenshot of Female MC talking to Allen while shopping and he has a heart.

Oh than nvm. I mean I guesse they could be making her a candidate now, hence why it is taking so long to officially release her as the 5th bride on their official site. I mean usually they release the boys and girls in pairs :/ who knows.

The guy is from Grand Bazaar and the chic you've ever seen from many past Harvest Moon.

Mmm, I see the heart when MC talk to this girl, so she's bachelorette.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! 8D

I wasn't to keen on returning characters, but oh my « Harvest Goddess »...Amir and the Witch Princess?

If they're the special bachelor/ettes, eeeeeeeeeeee!!! xD

Oh « Harvest Goddess », how am I going to pick between Allen, Rod, Neil, AND Amir! D8
Or Yuri, Tina, and Witch Princess? D8

(easy. witch princess and Amir win tops. then the rest of the guys. xD)

<--- apparently the only one pleased to see Amir? >.>

O.O
XD
I was not expecting it to be Amir, was kinda expecting the WP.
I was not dissapointed about them, but it was a shock >.<

Can I say one thing though? Just cause Amir and Celka have the same skin color, doesn't necessarily mean they are connected. -_-'

That's like saying all the others with light skin must be connected.

Though there seems to be a bit of Indian and gypsy culture flavors in this game, with Celka, Kamiriya, Rebecca and Tony, and Olivia. And now Amir.

Not that that's a bad thing. I like the diversity. =D

I wonder if Olivia and Amir are actually related in some way, since Olivia looks quite like a princess in my opinion.

In fact, her and Amir have more in common with the same silver hair with purple tinting, the skin (yes), and the rather royal looking attire.

Since Olivia doesn't like to talk about herself...maybe they're cousins?

GenesisLove · Post Posted: Feb 19, 2012 11:02 am

I dunno, they said she owned a tea shop. Most princesses don't do that, but it's possible.
I wasn't making the connection because Amir and Celka look alike, I just thought someone said that Celka served Amir earlier. Maybe I was wrong though.

Shayde · Post Posted: Feb 19, 2012 11:04 am

nah, so far all we know is that Celka serves a rich person.

Its possible Olivia could be royalty. Maybe she didn't like it and left, wanting to own a tea shop? It says she doesn't like to talk about herself or her past, which sounds like she's hiding something to me.

Wouldn't be the first time a royal ran away for a simpler life in games, anime, or etc. xD

Also, if Celka is Amir's servant...it won't be to odd ball. In Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny, you can date Maerwen and Electra at the same time. Maerwen being Electra's servant AND best friend. <.<

Actually, that's happened a lot in the Rune Factory Games. Tabatha and Bianca are also servant and master, and you can date them both. xD

Witch Princess is returning?
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

I don't really care about Amir, though.

Shayde · Post Posted: Feb 19, 2012 11:08 am

Hmm...my suspicions of Olivia grow...

Olivia

She runs the tea house, which has an exotic flavor to it.
She has a very regal personality, but rarely talks about herself.
Occupation: Tea House Owner

regal personality...and extremely similar appearance to Amir. Yep...I suspect they in fact are related.

Maybe she's his aunt.

(still feels like the only one happy to see Amir. xD)

GenesisLove · Post Posted: Feb 19, 2012 11:15 am

I'm happy to see Amir.
You forgot Ceci and Rosalind.:D

oh yeah!

So yeah...dating the servant and the boss is totally nothing new to me. Maybe new in HM, but not so with RF. xD

I think HM might be taking a few ques from RF, since its been doing better in japan lately then HM has.

I'll just go sit here in the corner and spazz alone about seeing Amir with sexier art. <.<
>.>
*sits in the corner*

I mean, at least I'm finally getting a return character I'm happy to see. xD (didn't like Dirk in GB, so wasn't thrilled when she heard he was the guest bachelor in ToTT.)

oh my « Harvest Goddess », amir is even sexier now... *fangirls*

Still. Are we sure those are the very last bachelor and bachelorettes?

I mean, ToTT had the guest character, Dirk. Then the special bachelor, Mikhail. Then the special Bachelorette, Oracle.

now that I think of it, ToTT guys didn't get a return guest character, did they? o.o

GenesisLove · Post Posted: Feb 19, 2012 11:20 am

They got Alisa.
