Winter 31 - New Years Eve
This is the only festival in the game that takes place on the same day in all three villages. You can only participate in one of the New Years Eve festivals. To select your festival, talk to either Megan, Ginjiro, or Tototara at the Crossroads between 20:00 and 23:00.
If you want to see all of the festivals, save your game before choosing which town you want to celebrate the new year with. After you see the event, you can reload your save game to pick another town.
- Westown - The villagers of Westown will gather together for a party to welcome in the new year with a smile. They will have a big feast and look back on the prior year. A fireworks show follows the new year countdown.
- Tsuyukusa - To ring in the new year, Tsuyukusa villagers work together to ring a ceremonial bell over 100 times, plus one more time for the new year. Then you'll take turns pounding rice into mochi treats.
- Lulukoko - Zahau will bring a giant fish for everyone to eat. After the feast a ceremony will take place to thank the bonfires that looked over the village during the year. The villagers will extinguish the protective bonfires and then light new ones for the new year.
For whichever town you participate in, you'll receive +2000 FP with the villagers and +1 AP with the marriage candidates.
DLC-only Additions
If you have the DLC content, during the celebration the marriage candidates of the town will ask if you want to get together with the others after the festival. If you chose to participate, leave the festival grounds to meet up with the young adults from all of the towns. They decide to visit a deity shrine in one of the villagers. You then decide which town's shrine to visit together as a group. At the deity shrine, the marriage candidates will make wishes for the next year.
As you all leave, the town's deity will stop you and thank you for visiting. The deity will also give a blessing for the next year. You'll see the deity but the others will only see the mysterious aura.
