Ushi No Tane Forum

I haven't seen anyone complain that there will be voice clips. (?) It's actually really cool that we'll finally have some level of voice acting. I figure it'll be pretty basic, largely grunts and hi-yahs and stuff like that, but even that's pretty cool and only seen in Rune Factory, up til now, that I know of.

There was grunts and other various sounds in Magical Melody.
to me some of the characters sounded like they were constipated tho ><‘

Other than that, I don’t recall any other HM/SoS game having them? possibly A Wonderful Life??? I don’t recall for sure though.
This’ll be the first time we’ll have voice clips as far as I’m aware of. Not including Rune Factory of course. RF has them and I personally liked those.

kinda late but i'm excited for this one! same « Chicken Hugging » marriage is something i've wanted in a mainline sos game for ages, and i really like how it looks like a return to focusing on farming rather than multitasking like most recent games. (i didn't really enjoy sos or sos:tot, because of how overcomplicated all the features got lol)

the graphics could be better, but i definitely wouldn't compare them to loh or a mobile game. sos and hm graphics have always been a little behind (with maybe the exception of ap,) so, as long as they're not painfully bad like in loh, i'm really not all that bothered

I'm excited about this and I'm gonna marry Damon.

Hey guys! I have been part of the forum for a few years now, although I hardly comment here. Like Kikki, I was very disappointed with the lack of portraits. It was my favorite part. It gives a lot of personality and emotion to the characters. Other than that, I'm very happy and excited about the game and this new journey. I hope they continue to listen the community.

I read every page of the topic and I believe that it has not been commented on by anyone yet. I saw the Ranch Story people putting this image here:



Was that the hope that Kikki and I were waiting for? If it really is confirmed for PC, we will definitely have mods with the portraits! From what I saw, XSEED removed the tags, but it was already expected to happen. Let's wait and hope!

Could someone pass the Fogu group link on Discord? I didn't find it anywhere.

I just noticed there was a little voice gesture by one of the characters in the Japanese trailer which I couldn’t originally spot in the English trailer at around 1:36. https://youtu.be/bTAMEsK-GKM

Don’t know if this will be carried to the English version (just like DoraemonSOS’s voice acting was absent in the west) but it’s cool to see this!

i'm excited about characters having voices, even if it's just little grunts/laughs/etc. they had voice clips in grand bazaar and i always thought it was really cute.

It’s in A Wonderful Life, Magical Melody, Tree of Tranquility, and Animal Parade. I’m surprised the 3DS games lacked it. The 3DS was more than capable of voice grunting.

I just hope for more mild voice acting like in AWL. I really like the voice clips in that game... Other games are too excItable. Celia’s giggle is still 10/10 after nearly 20 years (it hurts to think that).

I really hope Xseed carries the voice acting to the English version. And if not I hope they give us the option to switch the audio to jap at least. It's a smart move to include VA in this game, especially since it'll have no portraits. Apart from the town and music, AWL was memorable to me personally for the subtle voices of the villagers.

I hope with the pets we get more color choices for the dog an cat an horse and not just the brown like all was..
But with this and rune factory 5 going next year this good next year. Am excited for it, does anyone know what's the pre order bonus going to be?

In the section where it’s explaining character customization, it shows characters there. Are those possibly the missing marriage candidates? Or are they showcasing different customization options?

They're showcasing different customization options. They're not going to make it that easy for us to find all the extra candidates.

I personally believe the materials so far show us 8/10 of then non-secret candidates if we include Laura and the Nameless Bachelor with dark blonde hair and purple eyes who is marrying default FemaleMC in the Nintendo Direct Mini trailer.

I have multiple reasons to suspect Laura is an eligible candidate, including the timing of her placement in the trailer (during the narration about marriage, right before showing an actual wedding scene with the other unannounced candidate), her apparent age, the type of conversation she's having, being paired with the MaleMC in that scene while Nameless Bachelor is similarly paired with FemaleMC right after, the fact that there are two older female characters with similar designs who probably aren't marriage candidates (Karina and Manuela). Karina (we haven't seen her official English name yet, so that's just a guess based on her name in katakana) is grouped with other non-marriageable NPCs in an illustration on the Japanese website and tbh, Manuela feels like she might be Emilio's mom? Manuela is featured in a screenshot on Nintendo's English website and her dialogue is about fishing in the screenshot available there.

Here, have some screencaps from the trailer that I took of these two potential candidates:

I hate Laura’s neck. It’s so long. Actually, are all the necks so long?

After watching the trailer many times, have warmed up a little to it. Still not fully on board but I think it could be a decent game. I’m happy they introduced sprinklers and that the makers look like they’re back.

The 2 biggest things I hope for right now are that there will be characters portraits (though sadly I know it’s unlikely) and that the framerate will be much better in the final game. I usually don’t really care about technical performance much but those framerate drops were super obvious.

Yeah the necks do look long.. assuming the characters all share the same base mesh (aside from those with unique proportions) then they’d all be on the long side. It’s not as noticeable when characters are wearing clothing that covers their neck/shoulders.
