Is it just me, or does one of the character sprites on the 'new' page of the main website look like Ivan from GB? The one wearing the purple trench coat with the pink-light brown hair in the 1st picture that has Veronica talking? I doubt it's actually him, but if they're still going to continue to bring back repeat characters ... I wouldn't be all that surprised if they chose him. He did seem to be the bachelor of choice in GB. It also looks like there is another character that looks similar - almost identical - to the bachelor Klaus, on the same page and photo. He has sort of greenish hair ... Outfit is about the same, though. A co-worker? A twin, maybe? That would be interesting.
Other then that, though, I'm super excited with all the information that's coming out! The characters all look amazing so far. I wonder if they'll make Fritz and Elise marriageable? I like their designs pretty considerably, so it would be nice ... But from what we've seen so far, it looks like they're going to be regular villagers. No flowers around their name, after all ... unless they made them secret candidates?
NEW Harvest Moon!! FOR 3DS!

Ivan's hair is totally different, it's a dark blond with bangs and it flips out slightly on the sides, whereas salmon head has hair that is long in the front/apparently one length.

It's probably just a matter of the character designer recycling old design motifs.
I personally wish there was more variety in the bachelorettes' designs. So far, ALL of them have light eyes, are petite/babyfaced, fair-skinned, wear a hair ornament (Angela wears a nurse cap as part of her uniform, but both Lilie and Elise have some kind of variation of a bow-headband style), and wear full-skirted dresses that reach to knee or calf level and have puff sleeves. I know only 3 girls (and only 2 officially confirmed) have been revealed so far, but I'm tired of the look already. It's cute, but it's too homogenous. :/
At least the bachelors have more variety so far-- you have an active, scrappy youth with a short stature and worn clothing (and freckles?!?!?! lmao), the casual-but-polished young man with gentle features, and the tall-dark-handsome older gentleman.
I know they're kind of going for a Victorian-style look but if one of the girls is modern enough to appear on television programs, then there has to be girls modern enough to wear pants* and/or have a sexy, carefree, tomboy attitude (and NOT hyper like Tina). sigh. I sorely miss the Karen/Eve/Kathy/Gwen type :/
*edit: I'd be happy with a miniskirt too but that feels even less likely

Hashimoto updated the blog: http://www.bokumono.com/keeper/ they are having an exhibit at Jump Festa this year (which is next month, Dec 21st-Dec 22nd) so I'm hoping we'll get some more gameplay details and stuff there.

Oh man do I agree. At the very least it would be nice if Angela was a bit of a cold and distant person, but at this point I can only guess what she'll be like in the game's dialogue. We need more sassy types. Though I will admit that Muffy wasn't exactly like Eve or Karen - she was definitely more sweet.ThatGuy wrote:Agh.
I hope to '« Harvest Goddess »' that we get a Muffy/Karen/Eve-esque bachelorette. I mean, the small, cute, nice girls like Angela and Lily (Riri?) are alright I guess- but, I really hope we get another saucy bachelorette who isn't a complete 'Mary-Sue'.
Don't get me wrong, I think the two bachelorettes look amazing, and I'll definitely be courting them. But, from what was revealed about their personalities, I just feel that they aren't as interesting as I want them to be. But, alas I'll wait until I play the game to make that judgement.
I could be totally wrong about the two bachelorettes, I mean, I thought that Michelle was just a boring, 'Mary-Sue' type sweet girl- and...well...
Unfortunately Japan has moved on to liking pure, unadulterated women. The closest you'll get is a tomboy, and even then they end up being all sweet and shy underneath.

That's awesome! I don't think we seen the game in action so this will be interesting!

I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up but another page was added to the website recently. I think it is might be a page about the plot of the game?:

Is that teeny shack in one of the screenshots the MC's house XD?

Yes, That's about the story it is the introduction. My mediocre Katakana knowledge translate the page title to "Prologue". If I actually knew Japanese I would translate the whole page.
