Where can I find info on when this game is coming to the eshop or is there any place like that?

Possibly at E3 in June starting June 9th; no one knows any information on the English release anywhere. I'd watch E3 and/or follow Cher's Twitter account for information on Harvest Moon at E3.

Even if you mean the japanese eshop there is still no info on it so I would just be patient

Have any site posted more of the hairstyle you can select, perhaps the Japanese wiki has them??? I don't know what page to check on the wiki for the hair. Any help would be appreciated.

Does this game have a New Game + feature, like in Rune Factory 4?

@Crystal - Don't believe so

The Japanese wiki only has the names as of right now.

@Fishy - Edit: Look at Sylve's post below, I was incorrect

Here are all 38 hairstyles that you can choose. Be aware that each hat/hair accessory has set hairstyle already.

Spoiler:

Most of them are actually already in ANB, I believe. But, if you maybe have one or two certain syles you want to get a closer look on, just let me know.

Also, since we are in character customization topic already...
Heterochromia eyes set (listed as 'Odd Eyes'). Obtainable after winning the Fashion Contest 10x.

Well, it is not as rewarding as RF4 data transfer, but you can indeed start a New Game + after you have gotten all the 7 traders, seen the completion scene and saved the game after the credit roll.

Thanks for correcting that information Sylve! I looked on the wiki and didn't see anything about it, but that's pretty neat.

NP! I actually wouldn´t had known about it either if I didn´t had the guidebook (and gotten the option) myself! Maybe it´s on the wiki somewhere now (probably on the tips/faq section?), but back when I was still checking the wiki, I couldn´t see the + info anywhere as well.

Yeah, I probably ended up checking the wrong section xD Wow though, that's a lot of work to make the new game+ happen. I guess at least for those who want the extra challenge, it'll be a nice incentive.

i've gotta say, that still sounds easier than RF4's newgame+. it's nice they added the feature, though! extra money is always nice. :')

Wow so many hairstyles!! Q Do we have an animal cut scene when they help out? Like in ANB?

luph n joii · Post Posted: May 29, 2014 6:08 pm

Yay for heterochromia eyes! I'm so having that.

The blinding bang hairstyle looks neat. Unless my Japanese failing me, it says furukuroozu, right? (idk how to transliterate that to English-sounding word) orz

The friendship points bonus sounds great. That will lessen my work a little bit. I was hoping that we could somehow transfer items to the other save file, but oh well.

I'm wondering why they didn't put good mini-games on each festival. That way they wouldn't be so repetitive. Besides that, i wondering too why they didn't got a better fishing and bug-catching system like AC or Disney Magical World.

No cut scenes, thankfully. They just do it (Although mine don't herd every day; sometimes they both work, sometimes just one or the other, sometimes neither. Ideas would be appreciated)

Mini-games for festivals would be a good idea for another version. Bug catching is rather easy - you just walk up to the bug and press A, so there's no net like you need in AC. You can only fish from the docks in this version, since that's the access point where you jump into the water and go diving.
