Why draw extra portraits when you can display the character on the screen? They animate themselves in a way that a basic artwork portrait doesn't do. SoS has the characters "animate" by popping up sparkles or other things on the static image, while in Harvest Moon the characters wave their hands, nod their heads back and forth, and so on.
Portraits are really not necessary when they've already made the effort to display the characters on screen along with the dialog. Besides, making portraits would be too similar to the SoS series, and if they're making Harvest Moon a stand-alone title, why mimic a feature that was previously used.

The character models here are also a bit more characteristic and cartoony (compared to SoS and ANB), with a large emphasis on the face, so using the models to do the talking isn't that much of an issue.
Imagine if ANB used the generic blockhead models to represent the characters in dialogue, that would've been like playing My Sims.

CeeCee confirmed in Natsume Community Forums that it will be opposite-« Chicken Hugging » marriage only. She says equal marriage is a common topic of discussion, but didn't go farther than that.

Damn thanks.
I was hoping they would actually use the 3d function this time.
((Even my Pervy McChibimaker Sim has it. x3 At least the art is kinda 3d itself but I'm actually kinda bummed.))

Well, if the binoculars return, then you'll be able to see the terrain in 3D with them.

Yeah that's something. :3
I guess I'm just getting more interested lately in using the 3d on my 3ds again, it's not a deal breaker or anything.

I always did prefer having portraits instead of displaying the characters directly on the screen, but I guess it worked pretty well in ToT and AP so hopefully it'll work just as well here?
I do kind of prefer the more realistic, less cartoony designs of previous games but I guess their style is always changing and evolving...

It's about time. I was beginning to wonder if we'd hear no news until it just magically popped into stores.
Screen shot looks nice.

Looks like the game is getting a collector's edition!
http://store.nisamerica.com/harvest-moo ... ed-edition
Harvest Moon®: Skytree Village Limited Edition
Times have changed in the land known as the Oasis of the Harvest Goddess. Many people used to live in Skytree Village, and the land was lush and green. However, the power of the Harvest Goddess gradually began to wane, and the land became parched and dry.
It's up to you to revive the seven Skytrees in order to give the Harvest Goddess her power back, and in turn, bring life back to this desolate land! Along the way, players will meet a new cast of characters (with a few returning faces!), alongside a brand new art style, new character models, and more.
With user-friendly tutorials, players will immediately be able to jump into the thick of things, customizing their farm by raising and lowering the land, creating rivers, ponds, and more. Upgraded tools will assist farmers in shaping the land more efficiently, and afterwards they can kick back and relax in their boat to do a spot of fishing! It won't be long before they'll need to weigh anchor to care for their newest herd animal: the Poitou donkey!
Features:
• Play as a boy or a girl, woo bachelorettes and bachelors, and start a family!
• Completely new story with tons of interesting new characters.
• New crops and flowers to discover.
• New fishing mechanics: expand waterways and catch rarer fish.
• A full town with many residents, each with their own personalities and quirks.
Limited Edition Includes:
• Harvest Moon®: Skytree Village game for Nintendo 3DS
• Collector's box
• Full-color, 44-page softcover art book
• Original soundtrack with jewel case
• 6 Lapel pin set
• Blue feather rubber strap keychain (to be revealed soon!)

For $50? I guess I can she'll that out to get the collectors addition.
I hope I can still preorder the collectors addition at GameStop. *dashes off to check*
Edit: Huh, GameStop doesn't even recognized the title. Looks like I can't preorder from GameStop at all???
If not then that sucks big time.
