Natsume just translates right?

Natsume doesn't actually change anything in the gameplay right? Because their website says you can marry one of the 5 bachelors. Now I know there are 5 normal bachelors and the other 3 are considered "special" because they have invisible hearts and extra requirements to marry. I just wonder why Natsume limited it to 5 bachelors in the game's description.

Because Won, Gourmet and Kappa aren't bachelors, they have wives in different towns!

Bwahahaha! Nah, proably because Natsume dosen't want to go thought all the trouble of explaining about the three special bachelors. They just translate the games, why would they have to explain more then the bare facts?

Well that is what I thought, but when I looked at the vague description of FoMT on their website I just started wondering about it. One would have hoped that if they translated the game someone would have realized that there are 3 more bachelors, but I guess you can't have everything.

Maybe they're trying to make those guys "secret" or "surprise" bachelors? I wouldn't worry too much about it though...

When a company licenses a game to release it in a certain region, they basically have the right to do what they please with it unless specifically mentioned otherwise in their contract. They can add/remove game play elements of their choosing. I doubt Natsume removed them from the game (it take more work) as covert said they probably just wanted to leave them as surprises.

Don't think that all a company does when they move a game from one region to another is translate text. There is quite a bit of reprogramming involved with the menus and everything to make sure it all fits on screen.

Because Kappa Gourmet and won Are Monks...so they can't marry

the REAL reason is because if they tell you that you can marry the Gourmet, Kappa or Won, it'll scare away customers.

All Natsume has on their page for FOMT, all it says is ' marry the woman of your dreams '. Since there is 5 noticable women to marry, with the HG as the secret woman. It stands that they would keep Won, Mr. Gourmet, and the Kappa as secret guys to marry.

Imagine what the promo pictures would look like if it had pictures of only the Gourmet and the Kappa and below the text "Marry the man of your dreams!"

And technically, none of them are bachlelors. The real bachelors are all young innocent men, and I imagine them being rather inexperienced in the bedroom department. But Won and the Gourmet are older men, and I can imagine that they are divorced or widowed, and aren't so innocent anymore. The Kappa isn't even human, so can't really comment on his innocence or lack thereof.

lol
i remember a joke about this:

"use the hardest part of your body and hit where the girl urinates"

that night, Kai starts smashing his head against the toilet.

And some still consider « Chicken Hugging »-ed to be unnecessary, because "the hormones will do the trick naturally"

But seriously, why Kai of all people in this joke? Couldn't it apply to e.g. Gray or Rick as well? I imagine Kai being quite the ladies' man, who certainly knows what to do (even if he desn't have actual experience yet). Rick on the other hand is the classic nerd, whom I could imagine doing what you described

i had to put someone's name there, and Kai pops out as one of the more popular choices. i think Doctor was also a popular choice, but the doctor should know what he's doing. Will anyone marry Rick? i think not.

but yeah, anyone would fit there just fine.

Lilangel · Post Posted: Mar 31, 2005 9:42 pm

Yeah, the Doctor wouldn't fit in this joke because they should teach the basics of flowers and bees in Med school, which the Doctor attended. Or he never attended one and is a former criminal on a witness protection program, posing as a doctor...

If I got this game, I certainly wouldn't marry Rick. I've been surrounded by geeks for the last 7 years (studying in a Technical University) and I've had enough
