The player may receive a cat from Romana, and their toddler can be picked up and played with. The player will have an extra room, a kitchen and dining room, and will also gain a refrigerator and two bathrooms. In this chapter, lasting two years, the player has a son whose personality depends on his mother. The player must marry in this chapter, or they must leave the town and lead to the game's end. They are now in control of the game, and start with a cow, a milker, two records, two tomato seeds, and 3000G.

In this chapter, lasting a year, the player begins in their house at 5 AM. Takakura agrees to show the player around the valley and introduce them to the villagers, including the eligible bachelorettes: Celia, Nami, and Muffy. Soon, two dogs will appear the player chooses one to keep. The player is then seen walking down the village with Takakura, and he explains how he and the player's father owned the farm. So I brought him to Forget-Me-Not-Valley.". Your son didn't seem to know much about farming, but he was willing to give it a try. I told him about the farm you left to him. But he didn't seem to have a direction in life. Takakura, an old man who used to be the player's father's best friend, is speaking (or thinking) to their father, stating: "He wasn't unhappy.

When the player begins the game, they see a coastline in Forget-Me-Not valley. In addition, some NPCs will make periodic trips to Mineral Town, returning with new items to sell or hints for the player. Non-player characters (NPCs) in Forget-Me-Not Valley will begin to make comments about events in Mineral Town, and vice versa. Initiating the connection requires going to the mountain path next to the vegetable farm where Celia lives in A Wonderful Life, and throwing an offering into the Harvest Goddess' pond in Friends of Mineral Town. If the player connects a Game Boy Advance with Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town or Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town to the GameCube while playing A Wonderful Life, the two games can exchange information. If he becomes a farmer or a rancher, he will take over the family farm, although he can not marry. At the end of the game, the (now adult) son will choose one of seven possible careers: farmer, rancher, musician, artist, scholar, athlete, or scientist. The child's developing personality may be influenced by taking him places, introducing him to people, and giving him gifts related to various fields. The player's son will look similar to their wife, and have a unique set of interests and talents. This is the first Harvest Moon game in which the player not only has a child after marriage, but the child ages to adulthood as well. The player can do this by feeding any two different seeds or crops to a talking plant, Tartan, who appears after befriending Takakura and visiting him in the morning, from Chapter 2 onwards. The game offers a variety of crops and trees, and offers the ability to create hybrid crops. To obtain the highest quality crops and seeds, the player must water and fertilize the crops every day.

Each crop has its ideal growing season, and will do poorly if planted at the wrong time of year. Plants must be watered more than once per day and nourished with fertilizer to obtain high-quality fruits and vegetables. The player's farm has three fields, with varying levels of fertility. The Mukumuku can only be seen during Winter near the tree in which the Harvest Sprites live, and the surrounding area commonly referred to as "the forest." Seen in the wilderness are a tanuki, a lizard, and a turtle, as well as a chihuahua that appears to be a pet at the dig site.Īlso notable is the Mukumuku, who resembles an abominable snowman. Later in the game, the player may receive a cat from Romana. The player starts the game with a dog, and has the choice of floppy or pointed ears.
