Hmm. Well, I'm glad there will be no major time crunch. I do wonder what kinds of things will impress dad, though.

I appreciate the link and the info!

Well there doesn't seem to be any confirmation on it so far, I'll have to be more patient to see.

I never liked diving so I'm okay with that but I think I saw someone hoping there would still be swimming, so they'll be sad.

I would have liked swimming and diving ala Animal Crossing New Leaf, but I wasn't really expecting it. So I'm cool with how fishing was described here.

Such awesome reveals.

Here's my top question:. Any chance of more than six letters for names?

Ha ha, oh yeah, that's a big one! I wonder if that's just how Japanese works, that 6 spaces is actually generous for any name. (Probably, right?) Because it's really sad in English. Reeeeeally limiting. But they never give us more so I'm wondering if maybe that's a really hard thing to change.

The thing that gets me salty is that when Nintendo localized the European version of SOS they got 10 spaces....

I didn't know that. It can obviously be done without undue pain, then. Darn...I want it even more, now. Please, XSEED...a six letter limit is VERY LOW in English. And I was so jealous of the faceless out-of-town competitors at festivals in SoS who had interest long farm names when mine was named 'Honey' or 'Willow' or other boring things due to the 6-character limit.

Kirie! Does Cher have more information on Hamtaro? :D

Kikki · Post Posted: Jun 15, 2016 3:36 pm

Aww, sorry you guys who wanted it, there are no rivals in this game. (Romantic or farm-wise.) Cher just tweeted it. (Looks like she's must be back asking more questions at the XSEED both or something...)

Sorry guys, I already told her I was done bugging her with questions D: Sent her a lot of them so I don't want to bother her too much.

Kikki already posted it, but here's the tweet:

Ooh tay, there are no marriage or farm rivals in the new SoS game. Other farmers, yes, but they do their own thing.

The fast travel takes money. It is an elephant in Lulukoko, a stagecoach in Westown, and a palanquin in Tsuyukusa.

I wasn't sure if you'd signed off for the evening. Shoulda just waited another minute or two

RopeMaidenKirie · Post Posted: Jun 15, 2016 3:41 pm

Oh no worries at all, I certainly don't mind xD I was just making dinner anyways~

The proposal items are a Blue Feather in Lulukoko, a Comb in Tsuyukusa, and a Wedding Ring in Westown.

Not sure if + quality products are back or if a Farm Bell for mass herding is available yet.

Cher @ Ushi No Tane ‏@Cherubae
The farm is on a grid, so your buildings need to fit within the available space along with the crop plots and Farm Circle objects.

Cher @ Ushi No Tane ‏@Cherubae
The barns come with attached perimeter fencing. The small barn holds 1 animal, a larger one hold up to 4 animals.

Kikki · Post Posted: Jun 15, 2016 3:44 pm

AllHarvestMoon will want to know that. I believe I recall her being very concerned about the Blue Feather as a proposal item. I think the idea of a 'comb' as a proposal item really neat. A comb for putting your hair up, maybe? (Rather than a comb just for, you know, combing your hair.)

Damn, no rivals.....my heart......oh well, back to using my imagination I guess....

There are a few more two-color eye options available. Same skin color choices as before.

Kikki · Post Posted: Jun 15, 2016 3:50 pm

Two colour eye options? Heterochromia? And yay, right, Crystal Power? They didn't add MORE skin tones but at least they didn't remove the darker option we had in the last game
