I mean... this character has got the same gloves, the same boots, there's stripes on his shirt sleeve that are reminiscent of Cody's old armbands, similar black shorts, a similar "G" on his chest (for "Gordy", Cody's Japanese name) and the same skintone and hair color. You might be right though, they may have instead aged Cody up and made this his like nephew or son or something like that. It won't be clear until they either show a screenshot of him talking or release his bio.Crystal Power wrote: ↑Sep 21, 2022 3:51 pm Figuring out if the new Bachelor is Cody or a relative is very important. If it's indeed Cody then I think it's safe to say they won't be going by the DS/Cute canon since Cody wasn't an option there, Griffin doesn't appear to be redesigned either but it's hard to tell (In the image of the villagers at Gustafa's house). I mean they could have the DS/Cute candidates and more but I'd prefer to keep my expectation in check, ahah! Anyway If it's not Cody then I'm expecting this to be the same as Brandon/Jennifer.
Marvelous please release an update on the who the new bachelor is soon! T_T
EDIT: Also want to clarify my original post isn't including DLC candidates that may be announced.
I'm not expecting any DS/Cute "canon" either, considering that that story takes place 100 years after AWL with a cast full of "descendants" of the AWL characters (even though Natsume called them by their AWL names when they translated DS). In Japanese, Celia for example is named Sepiria in both AWL and this remake but she's named Serena in DS. That being said, I would've liked to marry Griffin or Carter in this. Or Flora even, since it looks like she's been deconfirmed as a bachelorette at this point. And it'll be a shame if they choose not to find a way to fit in some of the DS exclusive characters like Leia or Keira or Skye. But so far, yes, it does seem like it's just purely AWL remade.
Here are the new screenshots for today, showing off Molly:
