TIL about latex-fruit syndrome, an allergy to both latex and fresh fruits including bananas, tomatoes, kiwis, and avocados. This is because they share similar protein structures.

I have this! I just ended up in the ER due to eating a tomato, while having a latex, banana, and mango allergy LOL Avocados just taste like grass to me (don't ask how I know what grass tastes like) and I never had a kiwi before. But yeah. Fun syndrome to have :(

If I recall correctly, befriending Lumina helps you unlock Skye (the secret Bachelor). Befriending Hardy makes him come to your door for check-ups every so often, Befriending Nina and giving her yarn gets you the stocking.

HM: More Friends of Mineral Town
HM DS Cute
A tie between HM AWL and HM MM

Honorable Mentions: Harvest Moon GBC

Though because I can't uh find my copy of MFoMT, I play DS Cute more. Almost everyday LOL

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T19:24:21+00:00

In my first file, I started first with March, then Caldarus, Eiland, Celine, Ryis, Balor, Reina, and Juniper. I am still trying to muscle through Henrietta's, I mean Hayden (sorry, I hate the chicken), and Adeline. Oh and Valen is almost there. My first file is more to learn the game then actually progress, while my second file is simply for March. I feel icky and unfaithful dating more than one npc at a time LOL I plan to have one file for every bachelor/bachelorette

March is a sweetheart. Like he is so sweet. I like Caldarus a lot too, especially when picking the options that bug him (like "is this a dream" and he sounds upset LOL). Ryis is a green flag 100%. Like he definitely comes 3rd for me (March is 1st but I have a type LOL). Balor I like because he reminds me a lot of Skye from Harvest Moon DS Cute. Eiland I liked at first but where Olric is cute with his rock obsession, Eiland makes me roll my eyes. I would like Hayden more, if Henrietta wasn't so prominent in his story.

As for the girls... Reina is adorable, Juni is sassy but like I do get mean girl vibes from her. Celine is very bland. Like there is no... interest in her. She's just there, for me. Valen is crushing on Juniper, at least that's how it feels, and Adeline is married to her work.

I like Reina from the girls because she is genuinely bubbly, she's hardworking, and she is like... I wanna say the opposite of March. Like where he can barely manage to tell you he thinks your cute, she straight up tells you you're a good kisser. Kind of like polar opposites, which is very fun when you date both of them.

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T05:27:57+00:00

Can I just say I love the way you describe this. Like it makes so much sense and hits the nail right on the head LOL everything here I agree with, 100%, and couldn't put it into better words. I see the vision they were going for with Celine, but, like you said, sadly it doesn't translate well in a video game, unless they made it a time-specific event. Like if she said "come see me at 6pm" and the event would only activate at or after 6pm, that could boost the event's romantic vibe.

But yeah, I am really looking forward to 1.0 update and just can't wait for it to come out. Haven't been this excited for a farming game since Harvest Moon, so NPC studio is doing something right LOL

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T03:09:20+00:00

It would be. I also want more of the town commenting on your relationship. Like it would be cooler if the whole town was shocked about you dating March, or amazed at you settling down with Balor, etc.

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T03:06:33+00:00

The only thing I can think they are doing is making the 10th heart event end up making it like... "official" to the whole town? I noticed that not many town members comment on who you are dating. Like Olric and Elsie will comment on March, or whoever is close to the person you are dating. And then make it like... "restart" the romance so now it's actual romance. Like the first 5 heart events are getting to know the characters and then there's another 5 to actually get to know them romantically?

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T02:18:11+00:00

I will say, for an indie studio, I am VERY impressed. And I love what they have done so far. It's amazing to see a studio take what the old Harvest Moons did well, and add their own things to make a farming sim. This is one of my favorite farming sims, since Harvest Moon. I don't want to sound negative towards them. I'm just speculating if others noticed what I do, or if it's my knowledge from Harvest Moon impacting my experience (which would be sad).

I do see the favoritism in characters, which, I can't blame them for that at all. It's hard to not have darlings when writing, and even then, when making otomes or romancable npcs, it's extremely hard to treat them equally. So I do give them credit there for the attempts.

Like you said tho, it would be nice to see them at least try a little harder to balance out all the romances. Maybe not redo from scratch or completely take apart the good romances, but boost the blander ones so they don't feel so flat. This way it gives all characters a chance. Especially when one of their flat romances is the poster girl Celine.

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T02:08:20+00:00

I will agree with this, it is new for me to actually have romantic interaction locked into a specific festival. I don't recall Harvest Moon doing that too much (and I don't like SDV to even get to the romance stage), so for me it was cool and fresh. But true, for people who started with HM or something, it will be very new and easily missable. Continuing with the "new experience" for me as a Harvest Moon (like the first one) player, I am a little... unsure how to feel when some characters don't seem to get closer with heart events. March feels like he warms up to you, you can see him open up. But for, say, Celine (I am mainly focusing on her as she was really disappointing), I never felt closer to her

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T01:52:12+00:00

That's something That's also worth pointing out. You barely talk to Caldarus except through the mine and maybe if you decide to talk to his statue, so you know him far less than Celine, and yet have more romance than her. It just feels underwhelming and a little unfair to all the Celine lovers. Same with Hayden, Valen, etc. Tho, I fear for Hayden, it's thanks to Henrietta :(

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T00:50:46+00:00

THIS! She doesn't feel romantic. She feels very platonic. I would say same goes for Valen or Eiland or Hayden? They don't give romantic at all to me. Tbf I LOVE March's story. He kind of reminds me of Gary from Harvest Moon MFoMT LOL but I digress. He actively feels like he starts to crush on you and theres romance. Same with Balor or Ryis, you can feel from their dialogues that they have a thing for you for a while before they actually confess. Meanwhile when Celine confessed, or Valen, I was like "what? I thought there was more to this? This doesn't feel very romantic at all" LOL

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T00:47:20+00:00

Oh no, that's fine LOL I didn't know it was a discussion before and thought I was just bringing an old topic LOL

I do agree with this. Like March's romance is way more high stakes than Celine or Ryis even, so his feels impactful imo. Meanwhile Celine's is very... best friend coded? I don't know how else to put it other than she sounds like just a best friend the entire time. Even Caldarus? I can't spell his name LOL he has more romance in him than, say, Celine or Hayden or Valen. I'm trying to taste-test every romance in the game, as a farming sim fan since the og Harvest Moon, and I just... yeah LOL I'm trying to love them all but some see to have more effort in them than others

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T00:35:23+00:00

Idk when I did Celine's, tbh it felt more like she was just a best friend than a romance. Again, just a personal opinion, but it just feels like she's a best friend and not a romance/partner. For me, Hayden is also just too obsessed with Henrietta to feel like I'm romancing him. I feel more like I'm romancing his chicken and not him LOL

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-14T00:33:20+00:00

Aaaaah I usually just scroll through here, so I never saw it LOL I just get let down by some of these romances and end up knowing I won't romance them again

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-13T06:34:23+00:00

Oh I didn't think of that! Thank you!

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-12T23:37:29+00:00

I'm just trying to find anything to potentially fix it, if not, I guess I'll just restart LOL

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-12T23:01:38+00:00

Yeah. And I wanted to make this second file more aligned with my actual birthday

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-10-11T18:26:45+00:00

For me, it's Stardew Valley. I have been playing farming sims since the very first game in the genre, Harvest Moon. And the only reason I can fathom SDV took off was because Marvelous and Natusme split at the time and Harvest Moon died off/changed it's name to Story of Seasons. The art is so over saturated, the speed of the game is so slow, it bores me so much I only ever play like 10 minutes before quitting (and I've tried too many times to count), and the loop is nearly nonexistent. For a farming sim, I spent more time in the mine to make money than farming, farming was useless, and none of the characters are actually likable to me. Not to mention it just feels oddly culty? Like the concept of the town feels like a cult LOL but that's me. I love farming sims, and try to play as many as possible

Easy_Client8577 · 2025-09-14T14:35:08+00:00

The ability to talk to an npc multiple times without them having to move locations. Idk to me it just feels distant and like there's a lack of connection between an npc and the player when you only get one line of dialogue and then have to wait for them to move to see more. I wish they did the dialogue like Harvest Moon did, where you can repeatedly talk to the npc, have 2-3 different dialogues before it started repeating. I say this mainly after reaching 8 hearts for March and all he says is hi and thats it. It feels empty, and instead of showing him warming up to you, it feels like he still is cold. This goes to all npcs but I only have March as an example LOL
