Gustafa is a free-spirited musician who loves nature. He can often be found playing his guitar in the field behind the Inn or at the pond in the forest. Despite his laid-back demeanor, Gustafa takes his music very seriously and has a deep appreciation for different cultures and their music. He has a collection of exotic instruments within his home. Gustafa is also a bit of a romantic, often writing love songs about the people he met on his travels.

After marriage, Gustafa will still visit his yurt. He'll play his guitar outside his house, behind the inn, and in the forest just like he did before marraige.

Gift Preferences

Gustafa likes Milk (Rank B, A, or S), wildflowers (Toy Flower, Mistbloom, Happy Lamp, Upseed, etc.), and Peaches that are Rank A quality. If you give him milk he'll tell you how "far out" it was when talking to him the next day. He also likes Bluramu of Rank A, which is a mix of Peach and a Trickblue Flower that Vinnie can create; though, Vinnie doesn't unlock until Chapter 2.

He also likes the white Crystal and other stones found in the excavation site.

Gustafa likes to sit around and play his guitar. You can't give him gifts while he's sitting, and since he sits for a long time, it's best to move onto other tasks for a while and check back with him later.

Gustafa tells you not to worry about it. Besides, you're introducing yourself right now to him anyway. Gustafa invites you to visit with him again when you have the time.

Gustafa is deciding what he wants to do today. Have you come to play with him?

Option 1A: Sure am!

Ah, he wondered if you took a break from farm work today. Gustafa has also been figuring out what to do with his day. When he's outdoors, Gustafa can easily sing a song. But he can't think of anything to do when he's indoors. Maybe the two of you can have a casual conversation?

Option 2A: Sure!

Sometimes it's nice to relax at home. Being surrounded by his favorite musical instruments calms him. Everyone around here is fascinating, just like the name of Forgotten Valley. What do you think?

Is that so? Gustafa hopes you come to love the name someday. He thanks you for chatting with him and invites you to visit another time.

Gustafa was walking by and decided to visit to check out your farm. He didn't expect it to be so large! Gustafa asks if you would like to join him for a walk.

Option 1A: Yeah, that sounds nice.

Ah, today's a nice day for a stroll. The two of you head out to the waterfall, but on the way there, Gustafa admits that he was thinking of you when he was getting ready to go out for his walk. That's why he thought you might like to join him.

You arrive at the waterfall. Gustafa thinks there's something so soothing about waterfalls.

Option 2A: There sure is.

Would you like to hear more of the song?

Option 3A: Always! (+10 affection with Gustafa)

Gustafa continues his song about the dwarf and the magical fruit. The dwarf's wish was granted, but with an appearance transformed into the girl they loved; the same clothes, eyes, and everything! Egads!

Gustafa heads back to his home.

That's too bad. Gustafa walks away.

8-Heart Event

In the distance you see Gustafa enter the Bluebird Cafe, so you follow him in like a musician fan looking for an autograph. Once inside, Gustafa asks you to have a drink with him (ohmygoooooosh!). This cafe is one of his favorite places. He feels being able to sit down and give a toast to the day is a life luxury.

Molly notices the cute interactions between you and Gustafa and pokes Gavin to see if he sees it too. What do you think they're going to do after drinking at the cafe? Gavin replies that it's none of his business what they do; he's not going to eavesdrop.

Gustafa asks if you want to go stargazing. The weather tonight is very nice.

Option 1A: Ooh, yes!

You look up at the sky. Gustafa thinks it's amazing, as it feels like the starts are trying to tell him something. What do you think they're sayig?

Option 2A: Don't know. Don't care. (-5 affection with Gustafa)

Gustafa is disappointed with your response. He thought his question was an interesting thought experiment. Gustafa leaves to go home.

Option 2B: Let me think...

Hmm... you're not sure there's an answer. Gustafa says it may be best to not put it to words. He tells you he feels like singing. Interested?

Option 3A: In-dubitably!

Gustafa sings more of his song, with a verse about the dwarf's beloved, who just happened to be walking by and saw her duplicate sitting there under the tree!

After Gustafa finishes singing, he continues on with his evening stroll.

Option 3B: Maybe not today.

Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbes, he guesses. Gustafa invites you to have a drink with him some other time.

Option 1B: Nah, I'm not feeling it.

Molly then wonders if that means she can visit your place instead. Unless you preferred that she didn't go?

Option 4A: N-No, wait! I'll go!

You quickly head out of the cafe. Gustafa is a little confused, though he follows you outside. (Return to Option 1A)

Option 4B: I'd rather not go.

Gustafa is fine with it; you do you, after all. Maybe you could have a drink with him sometime again.

Proposal Event

Is that a Blue Feather? Gustafa has heard stories about its existence, but this is the first time he has seen one. He wonders what it could mean. Gustafa accepts your feathery gift, but he has a condition. He wants to keep his yurt in the valley, even when he's married to you. It's his favorite place in the whole valley.

Gustafa has a gift for you as well. He's been writing a song for you this whole time. He's sung parts of it already, but now he wants to give you the whole melody. Will you listen?

Option 1A: Always

The lyrics to his song have a hidden message, with each verse translating to his true feelings for you. Gustafa sits down and sings the complete song about the magical wish-granting fruit. The last verse is about how the dwarf, in such a shock of seeing his girl see him as his girl, dropped the fruit, breaking the spell and causing him to revent back to normal. Perhaps they fell in love, but nobody knows.

Option 1B: Nah, I'm good.

Engagement Event

Gustafa has stopped by to hang out. Though, soon he won't have to because he'll be living in the same house as you. Gustafa introduces himself to the house and then requests that you show him around the farm. He wants to know more about the crops you grow and the animals you raise.

You show Gustafa the fields and pasture. Afterward, Gustafa tells you it's a fantastic farm. Even the breeze feels nice. He recognizes the care that you take with maintaining the place. In fact, he feels honored that soon he'll be a part of the farm too.

Gustafa feels a song coming on and sits down to sing a tune about being a care-free breeze that doesn't know it's purpose, eventually finding a beautiful tree with branches that sway in the wind. For the first time the breeze knows its purpose and was in love. Gustafa wants you to sing along, too.

Option 1: The tree said, "Me tooooo..." or Option 2: But loving wind was hard to dooo...

Gustafa finds your lyrics strange, but he continues on and sings about how the tree and the breeze made their relationship work in perfect harmony.

Now that the song is over, Gustafa is glad that you collaborated on a song. He hopes to sing a variety of songs with you from now on. Gustafa can't think of anything else he would enjoy more than singing together with you. Gustafa turns to head back home.

As you turn around, you see Takakura watching. He apologizes for listening in, as he just happened to be nearby. As he leaves, Takakura tells you that it was a good song.
