So as far as romanceable characters go, we have the nerd, the sick girl, the spooky ghost/cage-neck-:wtc: girl, the "vanilla" girl (Mist), the shopkeeper, and the kid-that-means-you're-a-pedophile.

I'm getting some flashbacks to Azure Dreams here.

I submit OhGod for the Bees. Also ImCoveredIn if there's enough room.

Fun fact: Zzyzx is a real place in California, I've passed it on the 15 on the way to Vegas. Have no idea why they chose that name though or if it originates from somewhere else?

It used to be a health spa, and the name was chosen to go with the tagline: "The last word on health". See Wikipedia.

I haven't played the game, but the impression I get is that the only difference between fainting and sleeping is that with sleeping you have to manually go back to your house, whereas with fainting you get teleported to the hospital.

I'm having difficulty reconciling that outfit with being a farmer.

Then again, I guess JRPG outfits don't really work well with any actual physical labor (like, say, fighting). They're only well-suited for being a JRPG Character.

It continues to baffle me that you could have an RPG made in the last 15 years that has an opaque, confusing interface and bad design choices. We've had CRPGs/JRPGs for over 30 years now, there's no reason to be repeating the same design mistakes over and over again!

Funny thing, one of the things Stranger Things reminded me of is how living in a small/farming town is like and how none of the harvest moon games really catch that too well. Stardew Valley is a little better but still not really close.

I guess it has something to do with it mostly being done by nostalgic city slickers I guess? I mean, most of them don't involve poo poo, death and only limited alcoholism. Like, livestock farming is completely different from the way the games operate, though I suppose that might be to keep them light-hearted, as I don't think that having to buy the 'Bolt Gun' tool to get meat would be super popular.

Yyyyyeah, these games are to farming what Team Fortress is to warfare. In other words, it's just a "gloss" to apply to a set of game mechanics.

It deeply amuses me that the game will hand out more money than you've possibly collected thus far in the entire game, just for being really fast at getting a book. Screw farming, screw mining, screw fighting, Donnel should have spent all his effort on becoming a track star.

We should really just count our blessings that they aren't Zzyzxessful, either. (God, Rune Factory Frontier's translation had issues.)

Zzyzx is an actual place. I don't have context on the Rune Factory Frontier stuff, but maybe the translators were just from SoCal?

The festivals have been pretty underwhelming because nothing really happens in any of them. You just cross all the characters' single defining traits with the theme of the festival, so Melody rants about taking baths while sheering sheep or whatever. I wouldn't worry about missing them.

Speaking of, is Mist's deal ever explained?

I'm guessing she's some manifestation of the ~will of nature~ or something.
