I'm almost certain it's the former. I have 10 hearts unlocked for my chickens now and I've always just randomly thrown eggs in the incubator.

Do you lock yourself out of anything by starting to date the bachelor/ettes aside from the two rival events for each pair? I think there might be a couple incidental events that stop being available, but is that it? I just don't want to lose out on anything important.
I️ got a puppy and despite talking to it I️ still don't have 8 hearts and I'm in summer year 2 :/. I'd just wait for the pet you want
Yeah the only way to get the heart icon is talking to it. Brushing it makes it shine but no icon. Similar to playing fetch. I'm sure I️ missed a few days saying hi to it but it's still only at 4 or 5 hearts. It's very slow
You can also whistle (ZL button on Switch) at the pet for another +1 friendship point per day. It only works if they respond to the whistle though, so pets with low hearts will require you to be a lot closer to them for the whistle to work. The more hearts they have, the farther away they can be to hear it. Van also sells Treats at his pet shop for another +1 fp per day if hand-fed to your pet.
So a max of +3 fp per day per pet, with each heart being a total of 24 points.
i bought a couple treats when i got the dog, but i forgot about them. I'll stock up next time. i missed the last two times van was selling pet supplies due to weather :/. i dont see a heart, but my dog does come when i whistle so thats good to know.
do you know the best way to level up its fetching ability? playing fetch w/ it is a drag due to having to pull the ball out of my bag for each throw
Playing with the pet ball earns experience towards the frisbee disc mini game. It's faster to simply go to the beach and play the mini game.
So I heard there is a bug with the Switch version where you can't find something called mythic ore in the mines. Not something that was in the PS1 version. Any Switch owner with a non-Japanese version of the game run into this bug?
She wasn't, this isn't a remake of Back to Nature.
I feel like a lot of people are confused on this point because they're remembering the characters from the any of the previous games. The original Harvest Moon, which had a generational sequel (Harvest Moon 64), where the characters were the practical twins of their grandparents. That game was reimagined into Back to Nature (see also: Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl for PSP), where we had new personalities inserted but the exact same/really similar appearances and names yet again. Then that re-imagining was remade once more into Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town. Those are the two games that were remade into Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, so it is not shocking that the name, appearance, and personality changes present in this game are throwing people for a loop on occasion!
The cast of Magical Melody also has a reinterpretation of the original game's cast if I recall correctly, which only adds confusion to the mix! I've been seeing a lot more people coming into the fanbase at large who played Magical Melody as their first BokuMono game. It is amazing and humbling and I feel so lucky to have been a part of this fandom since the beginning.
I've been playing the games since the first one was released in America, I'm well aware of the franchise's installments, I was expressing surprise that her character was changed so much for the portable version, especially when other characters and events seem to be identical to what was in Back to Nature.
Sorry. Maybe I should not have quoted you when generally stating the lineage of the game leading to many changes in the characters. I wouldn't trust a Natsume localization as far as I could throw it, to be honest. As far as we know, the Japanese BtN version of Ran could have been just as obsessively tidy. It could also be a different factor, as visiting them at a new time and place often changes the dialogue displayed, so it could just be that your daily routine is visiting her at a time and place where she's talking about cleaning in this play through. It is actually one of the things I like about the games in the series, you can revisit them later with a different mindset and run into new things you've never seen before!
So is it just me, or do marriage candidates seem to gain love points really fast in this game? Or maybe there are some hidden love point bonuses based on actions you take. Cliff is at a green heart at the end of my first Summer and other than his birthday gift and that one event at the beginning of the game, I have just talked to him while passing by the church.
Yeah I noticed this too, never seen the LP build up so fast, I'm used to grinding them out.
Apparently my first chicken has seemingly perpetually stayed at one heart despite the "doing well" message every day, talking to it, letting it eat outside.
The chicken that hatched from one of its eggs is now at 4 ...

I am about to get into the first winter and I have given Doctor the wild grasses not even every day and he is at a red heart. Some characters like Karen do get bonus points. She gets them via buying things x amount of times from the general store.

There we go, that makes more sense. Cliff gets bonus love point just from entering the Church enough times. The Doctor and Elly gain bonus love points based on how many days you have gone without fainting. No wonder so many characters are shooting up the heart ranks without me doing much.
Oh, I was wondering if I was gaining love points with her because I kept triggering her events by entering the store if there was some bonus for attending festivals, or whatever, because she was shooting up at the same rate as Brandon, a character I was actually giving things to and speaking to basically every day.
I can't for the life of me get Cliff's purple heart even to trigger. I've done both his black heart events. He's at yellow heart. I walk into the area at the correct time on the right dates with the right weather. No dice :/
edit: nevermind trying it without my horse apparently got it to work.

Yeah, I was disappointed I couldn't turn the other milks into cheese. I'm just shipping my coffee milk now because it feels useless compared to regular milk. And now that it sounds like you can't cook with them either, I may sell my 2nd coffee cow.
I don't have any cows yet as I can't afford them but that stinks. Makes sense but now I'd be mordibly curious what Strawberry Cheese, Chocolate Cheese, and Coffee cheese would even look/be like haha
It's... intentional.
4:44 (FoMT)
The 4:44 gimmick is an intentional "glitch" placed in the game that can be activated any day of the year, but only when the timer is exactly at 4:44. Friends of Mineral Town Watching TV at 4:44 on any day will result in the game being frozen in a loop where the dialogue box opens and closes...

Never knew that was a thing.
I do not think the patch has been released yet to fix it not spawning.
I have upgraded everything with Gotts and he isn't selling me the deluxe fridge. Is this a glitch? I had it on my first file but on this one he's never sold it.
"Oh, I just got my blessed set complete, let's try out the Blessed Hammer. Oh hey, that was pretty cool, that's a huge area! Let's try out the Blessed Axe-- Did...Did I just chop the entire screen?????!!!!!"
I'm on Winter 30 and I'm so excited to see what the Blessed Hoe/Watering Can/Sickle do now

I really need to get back to this. I bought it on PC and played about 4 hours. The time moving so fast was driving me insane! That and money was just nonexistent. I think I was spoiled by Stardew :) You absolutely should play that game - I'm on my 2nd playthrough right now. First was 150 hours and I'm up to 85 on my new one. It's one of the most addictive games I have ever played! If you play on PC I recommend Stardew Valley Expanded as its basically a free expansion to the original game (made by fans).
yeah ive bought it twice (switch & pc) but only ever tried it for an hour or so. I know its something ill like once i get started w/ it. the PC version im sure is superior, but i think its the type of game ill prefer to play portable....
My first playthrough was on Switch - and honestly that's a great way to play it first. Having expanded after playing the game worked out good for me. One piece of advice if playing on Switch: Make getting the Horse Stable your #1 priority. Once you have that built, your speed in getting around the entire world is incredibly faster. The default walk/run speed is sloooow, but the horse eliminates this issue for the rest of the game so I always immediately get that done to make the rest of my time smoother.
Was panicking thinking my Pineapples that I spend all my money on seeds early summer wouldn't ever grow/be ripe for harvest but on the very last day of summer they finally did, phew. Finally starting to get some money. Have $19k after selling them, first time all game having 5 figure money on me.
I know a lot of people love it, but I felt the early game was such a slog. I couldn't get beyond more than 15 hours or so.
No, since you sleep in the old bed and you spouse and child will sleep in the big bed.
Yeah it's a really ugly game which is what turned me off originally but I️ figure I'll give it another try
