Am I the only one who is upset that Beth/Lars aren't marriage candidates?! (rant also)
I love the design of both of them but to be honest a big part of the harvest moon/story of seasons experience is dating for me so at the end of spring year 1 I am already fed up. Dialogue is all samey so I don't even want to see about the other candidates and the fact they butchered the DLC opportunity.

They had the perfect system in the tourist set up to have them visit the town a day a week.
Reagar was a chef so he could go to the cafe/bistro to learn new recipes/techniques.
Ludus was a builder so could visit the builder of this game a day a week.

I was so hyped for this game but damn it's let me down on so many things, feel like I have to mid max every action just to have a productive day. Story of seasons did makers better being in coops and barns. SOS friends of mineral town did mines better with the elevator system.
Feel this game went back on so many good decisions previously implemented.
Rant over XD

wait what... last I know of Story of Seasons the makers were their own structure -_- I mean in the tailoring building you get to spin your wool, dye your wool, make your bolt of cloth and then finally clothes and your culture building enables you to culture your milk to make yougurt and cheese and then flavor your yougurt and cheese and then aging your cheese and get your yougurt

I prefer the makers in Trio of Towns personally rectifying the grind of the previous title not to mention being able to "downgrade" your potent raw materials which isnt available in the first title

personally I was not a fan of the first SoS gameplay loop I tried... I just tried... when the only thing you can do when grazing your animals is to just fish and mine.... -_- assuming you can even fish decent fishes while waiting for the next rival showdown so you can get to grow some teas and trees cause your actual farm lot sucks at it and then how the recipe unlocks are a bit on the RNG side you'd be lucky if winning the festivals even gives you those recipes

also once you ground cooking to level 5 the existing restaurants are going to be like what raeger did back in the day keep on fattening yourself and you will complete all the recipes

Im pretty sure original story of seasons had mayo maker in coop right? Or a shed for them, been awhile since I played.
Trio of towns was fun but way too much to do in a day, like this one. Ah the rival showdowns for land was annoying.

for HM:BTN yes the makers are inside the barn and coop as well as HM64 and FoMT for that matter IIRC in ANB it was largely the same

I originally wanted to romance Beth too. After hearing about how villagers have no dislikes, I've started leveling up multiple candidates with grass each day to see who I like best.

There is no reason anyone would know this unless you looked it up or randomly tried it.
