Harvest Moon DS Cute

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion. Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

To do: Not as much as the Boy's version, but there's some untranslated text in places.

Harvest Moon DS Cute: because apparently the original wasn't cute enough. This time you're a girl, which the Japanese and Korean titles make more obvious.

Most, if not all, of the unused content is carried over to here.

Regional Differences#

Developer/Publisher Logos#

North America	South Korea

In North America, this game was published by Natsume, though the logo used here is different from the previous game, Harvest Moon DS. The South Korean graphics are the exact same as Harvest Moon DS.

Japan	North America/South Korea

The Marvelous logo was updated when the game was localized in North America and South Korea, as it came out there after Marvelous' renaming from "Marvelous Interactive Inc." to "Marvelous Entertainment Inc."

GBA Link#

In addition to the A Wonderful Life GBA-link features removed in the US Boy version, the US Cute version also removes the bonus CDs obtainable from the GBA games, (More) Friends of Mineral Town. However, it's still possible to invite the extra characters from (More) Friends of Mineral Town by having the game plugged into the DS' GBA slot. Unlike the original bachelorettes in Harvest Moon DS, marrying a bachelor from More Friends of Mineral Town won't immediately end your game.

"Best Friend" System#

To do: Is there any unused text relating to this?

When Marvelous ported the code from the Boy version, they retained the Boy-version love events with Leia, Witch, Keria, and the Goddess, who are marriage candidates in the Japanese version, using a system called the "Best Friends" system. This includes all the Heart Events and text used during wedding ceremonies and other romance related events.

In the American version, though, they are no longer possible to marry, as they will reject your Blue Feather. Despite that, their "Best Friend" Heart events and Love Points can still be viewed. Natsume mentioned that this was done to avoid alienating the games' target audience.

The option to marry same-sex characters would finally return in international versions of Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town.
