I need to go back and answer a few questions on my ask blog... been so long *swaps hand*

Harvest Moon 30 Day Challenge: Day 4

Day 4: Your favorite bachelor + why?

Ok, I don’t have a clear cut favorite here. It’s mainly a toss up between Ford and Gill, (though I still have a fondness for Doctor/Trent!)

(Spoilers ahead if you haven’t played Trio of Towns or Tree of Tranquility!! I mean... you guys probably already know this stuff, but still!!)

Ford is a more recent favorite (obviously), Trio did an excellent job developing his personality from being kind of a loner, mainly focused on his work, and oblivious to love. It really showed how much he changed over the course of the game as he develops feelings for your character. It wasn’t a sudden “I think I have a crush on you *blushblush*” once you hit a certain flower color, Ford has to figure out what love even feels like.

Due to his parents not being very caring of him or their home life (it’s highly suggested that they were... not very good people and it’s a good chance that they drank and gambled a lot), it made Ford socially inept and gave him several types of phobias, explaining why he wants things done a certain way. Though his personality and habits make him considered the oddball, but he just embraces this fact about himself and I like that.

I also really love his friendship with Brad and Wayne, their friend events are hilarious and makes them feel like real friends, and as much as Ford will seem annoyed with them the majority of the time, he honestly respects them. You could argue that he looks up to Brad as an example of what a good marriage should be like. Seeing how happy he and his wife are, Ford starts to rethink that marriage isn’t such a bad thing.

Oh! I also really appreciate that they finally had an older bachelor that didn’t constantly bring up how much older he was than your character, that in itself got old. The only argument I could see is that the previous “older” bachelors didn’t have the same problems as Ford, so age wasn’t a main issue for him, love was.

Gill was a surprise (as I stated in my previous post). I really thought he was going to be a snob and bratty, and can come off a little bit of a jerk in the beginning, but you kind of understand why once you find out that he had to “grow up” at an early age. He’s very hard working, trying to get more people to visit the island because he loves his home and wants others to love it too (plus you can understand from an economical standpoint as well that the town needs to generate business to bring money in).

His dad, Hamilton, is good-natured goof, but it works for their dynamic and Gill still really respects and loves his father, but he also worries about him after losing his mother, having gone into a depression (according to the official Bokomono website). Because of this, Gill tended to all the chores his mother would have likely done and cared for his father and their home until his father was able to get back to his old self. (Due to all that practice, it would explain why you always receive perfect lunches from Gill after you get married, you wouldn’t think of Gill as a house husband-type at first.)

I also really liked the tidbits you learn from his father, where it suggests that Gill was able to see the harvest sprites in his youth (he’s the only human character that I’m aware of that was basically confirmed to have able to see them other than the main characters, unless you want to count Jamie from “Magical Melody”, but I always think of them as a demi-god). They always bring up that children are said to be able to see Harvest Sprites, but I have never heard any of the adults claim to have seen them in their youth or any children pointing them out, so I just thought it was interesting that super strict and mature Gill is the one who had been able to see them.

I still have two questions after all these years, a) Why doesn’t Gill become a teacher when you marry him, but does if you marry someone else? and b) Who convinced him to play Commander Gilligan? I figure it had to be Hamilton, but still...

So I restarted Senyu since all the episodes weren't available when I began watching it (can't wait for the next season, by the way) and I automatically started thinking... "Chris Patton should be the soldier and Josh Grelle should be the hero."

I'm blaming my thought process on the fact that the Hero's voice and mannerisms sounded like Akihisa in "Baka and Test" (which it turned out it was the same voice actor after I looked it up) and Josh Grelle did an awesome job as Aki.

And for Chris Patton... just seems right. I can't really place the reason. My brain just went, "Chris Patton. Yep, mhm."

I really hope this series gets dubbed...

Well... That's annoying.

Unless there's something I don't know about, Sable seems to have reset back to her previous reserved personality. I wonder if it has anything to do either the error/crash that happened last night while my friend and I were playing mini-games on the island (though I was using the QR code creator right after the error...)

I don't know. Unless this is supposed to happen in the game, I think I have to befriend Sable again.

*sigh* So impatient.

Edit: Oh thank god, she's not brushing me off anymore DX

I restarted my game about 2 times and she still didn't like me, so either because I turned my 3DS off or because it was later in the day, Sable talked to me again. I was so happy...

I just generally like Sable since she reminds me of myself when I used to work at my old job, hiding in the back and avoid talking to people till you gradually get used to them and enjoy chatting with certain ones a little, when they come in.
