I recently bought a Blue Feather because I plan to marry Yuri, and a thing I do in every Harvest Moon game is show off the feather to everyone in the town to see what they say about it.

I showed it to Hina and Emma because I figured they'd have interesting things to say, and then when I spoke to Yuri later that day, she got mad at me for it. Which is confusing, because I didn't show it to any bachelorettes, and she still was mad at me that I even did it, when it was only a little girl and her own mother to boot. « What The Eggplant »?

So is she actually angry with me? Did I really get Angry Points with her? I saved my game, thinking it wasn't going to be a problem, so there's no way I can just reload if I did. I'm sorry, this is probably a really dumb question, I couldn't find anything on it anywhere.

no matter who you show it to, your girl/boy of choice will be upset. I showed the blue feather to mine and Neil's son and Neil was pissed.

I don't believe they get AP for that - just a small drop in FP. AP is only accumulated through saying the wrong thing during heart events if I recall correctly. Just give some gifts to get that FP back

They do get anger points when you show the ring or feather to someone else.
Also giving someone their horror gift will give them AP as well

Yeah, all I can find on it is this, from Cher's guide on befriending villagers:
"Another unusual way of decreasing your friendship is by showing a commitment Ring or the Blue Feather to a normal villager. If you try to give the Ring or Blue Feather to someone you can't marry, then you will get -2000 FP with that person."
I'm guessing you don't get AP from it therefore, and my guess as to why is probably because AP is basically used to break up with them, if I understand it correctly, and since HM doesn't allow divorce, that's probably why the feather doesn't gain anger points with people for showing it off.


On a side note:
I always thought it was weird how villagers would react to the feather or other romantic items, but even weirder reaction wise when you're already married or showing it to a kid, especially your own... Like I always pictured your character being more like "look at this gorgeous feather I am going to give to my sweetheart!", or maybe "Look! I'm going to propose soon! Aren't you happy for me?", or "See, this is what I used to propose to your mommy/daddy!". But the game devs seem to write it more like you're proposing to the NPCs in most games. (At least in RF games it tends to be humorous reactions, and some ship teasing, especially for same « Chicken Hugging » relationships aha.)


I still like to save and do it though when I remember to. Usually I forget, but I feel like you can learn a lot about the characters by showing them the romantic items.



Edit: I was wrong, you do get AP for it. Again from Cher's guide:
"Once the two of you become a steady couple, Anger Points (AP) can start to accumulate. You can earn a negative hit by:

Selecting the wrong answer during the green or yellow heart events.
Not talking to your sweetheart for 7 days in a row.
Showing the Blue Feather or a Ring to another marriage candidate.
Giving the person a HORROR level gift worth -800 FP.
Screwing up enough that the person loses a total of 10,000 FP.

When the number of Anger Points reaches 5, the person will become so upset that he or she stays in bed all day. Don't worry, your sweetie will be fine the next day. The one day of moping around in bed will reset the AP back to 0."

Oh wow, thank you guys so much for the informative answers. It explains a lot.

That's still pretty weird that just showing it to villagers is bad. That just seems like, hyper-sensitive of a reaction, and if that were real life, I'd definitely debate marrying the person. When I ran around with the Blue Feather in Harvest Moon 64, I saw it like showing off the fact I was gonna propose, so it makes me kind of sad that now there's a price to pay for it.

I suppose I will be careful, show it to all the villagers anyway, and then just reload. Still disappointing this is even a thing at all. It's fun to check all the dialog, even if it's bad.
