Trees foliage suggestion. Also the big bed.
It would be nice if you can see the character's silhouette when you walk under a tree. Even though I can figure out where the fruit is to pick up, it would be nice to make the character's silhouette visible from the foliage when we walk. Sometimes on the field some drops are missed because the foliage covers it.
Why when the characters get married they don't sleep in the same bed?? It is a bit..odd that they sleep in separate beds.

How can you be sure they sleep in separate beds.. I mean, there's a double bed and a single bed attached to it. So you can say it's a single triple-size bed setup. So technically, it's still one bed. Also, this has been the design since the Back to Nature era and the original friends of mineral town. Is it odd? perhaps, if you're coming from the Western culture of a married life where husband and wife live in a single room in one big bed.

Eastern culture are different, especially in the old days. It's common for married couple to sleep in one room but on separate twin beds, or even separate rooms. I know my grandparents who loved each other until the end of their lives, live in separate rooms in the same house. It's very common in eastern culture in the old days.

Here's something that you can read and learn new things. https://www.japancrush.com/2013/stories/why-do-married-couples-in-japan-sleep-separately.html

Not everyone in the whole world have the same marriage lives.

You are right on that account, I come from the Western culture where married couples sleep in the same bed. That was the point of view I had. Understandably so I didn't consider other area cultures which I'm sure you are well aware of. Thanks for the link. A triple size bed? That's stretching out the concept don't you think?

Yeah, probably. Hahah. But your characters will end up having a child too. So you can say it's a double bed for you and your spouse and the single bed for the child.

Even though you press the action button on the single side of the bed.

In the original PS1 Back to Nature game, the second house extension will have a separate room in the house that contains two separate single beds. One for your character, and the other for the spouse.

In the GBA version of Friends of Mineral Town, the design is exactly what we have in the current PC/Switch version. A single bed, adjacent to the double bed in the main room. I believe this remake is trying to stay true to the original layout in the GBA version.

This game is a Japanese game, so a lot of the concept here is shown with Japanese culture and context.
