Introduction:
Welcome to the Wind Bazaar is the newest installment to the DS set of games. With a brand new cast of characters and a refreshing art style, it won't be long before you're taken with this game's charm. You move to a quaint place called Zephyr Town in hopes of starting your life anew and creating a wonderful ranch to work on. Being true to its name, Zephyr town is full of lively gusts and breezes that power the town's windmills, which you can implement to make new recipes and even upgrade tools. New abilities like jumping, breaking ice, and a brand new style of controls will come into play, but the most exciting feature of all is the bazaar. Forget the shipping bin, now it's up to you to sell your goods to crowds of bustling customers at the weekly Bazaar. Do you have what it takes to be the top merchant at the bazaar?
» All above information was taken from Ranch Story. So, what does everyone think of the game so far? I am actually excited for this game... New characters, art style, etc. Teehee, I hope they plan on releasing it soon in the US, the UK, etc.
The game looks absolutely CUTE!!!!!!!! Can't wait for it!!

•One bag = one seed. •It appears the crop system is similar to that of IoH •Crops MUST be watered at least once every day or they will die. Crops will go dry after 10 hours (similar to in AWL) and you can water them twice. The more you water the crops, the better their quality will be. •Fertilizer can be used to raise the quality of the crop. It is highly recommended that you use it. The fertilizer sold at Mucho's shop will raise the quality of the crop, but the fertilizer you make in your own windmill works much better. •Stepping on your crops will decrease their quality, so be careful!
quote Ushi No Tane
•Your house begins with a fireplace, kitchen, bathroom and toilet •You can skate and snowboard •The farm degree is back • Time is 1 second = 1 game minute • You can break thin ice with your hammer in winter time •There's a large board you can write on located on your farm. You can make a sign for your farm! •Chen, Pierre, Wada and Goran from IoH make a comeback!
-Your barn is attached to your house -There is a pasture for your livestock and a pen for the chickens -All livestock is purchased from the bazaar -Each animal must be taken outside in the day and returned to it's pen in the night time (around 17:00). -If you disturb the animal while it is sleeping, it will gain stress. -Chickens are fed in a large stone depression in their section, and all livestock eat out of a single large bin. -Animals bought in 'baby' form will start out with two hearts -There is no way to breed animals -Sheep give wool every four days -Chickens give eggs every day, but will not give eggs if left outside overnight -If you push your livestock towards the barn after 17:00 they will continue back in on their own -Pets don't immediately heard all the animals, so keep an eye on how many animals they'll send in and out a day
The idea of being unable to breed livestock sucks.
Here's the available livestock.
quote
• Cows: - Cows come with either black or brown spots - You can milk them and they are herded by the dogs
• Sheep: - Sheep come in white or black - You can sheer them and they are also herded by the dogs
• Chickens: - Chickens come in white and black -You can collect eggs from them and they are also herded by the cats
But I guess the idea of having your pets herd them makes up for it.
Now for the pets...
quote
-Pets can be purchased from Lucho in the bazaar. The conditions for him to start selling them are: -You need four or more chickens to unlock cats -You need four or more cows/sheep to unlock dogs -You can toss play items for the dogs and cats to play with -It appears that you can have a large number of cats and dogs -Cats come in black and white -There are two different styles of dogs. The pointy eared kind (they come in black or brown), and the round eared 'classic' kind. -Lucho will bring you a horse in summer of year 2 -You can select your horse in red, black, brown or white -Owning a horse opens up area 3 on the map -Looks like the kitties sleep on top of your barn during the day. •Horse: - used for riding and used in the horse races (held in area 3) • Cat: - Herds the chickens •Dog: - Herds sheep and cows
This is the characters page. It lists all the people of Wind Town that aren't marriageable candidates. If you want to see those, visit the Marriage page!
As you'll see, there isn't too much info out yet. We're basically putting up whatever we can get translated. Also, for some, you'll see a short (translated) quote by them that was featured in their section of the game's official site.
- - -
Male Player:
This is you, if you choose to play as a boy. Yup. Pretty self-explanatory.
Female Player:
This is the female hero of the game. You can choose to play as her too.
Claire:
Claire is Wilbur's wife and Kevin's mother. She's always chasing after Kevin. Claire is easygoing but can be scary when she's angry. Nerine is her sister, and they always have something to chatter about.
Eerihhi:
Maybe Eric in the English version? This is Enju's dad. He's the manager of one of the shops in town. Quote: "Yaa, good morning. The weather's nice this morning, isn't it?"
Felix:
Felix is Sherufa's dad. He's the town mayor. His wife died shortly after Sherufa was born, so he's looked after her alone since then and loves her very much. The two things he takes pride in are his town and his daughter. Quote: "Hmm, from now on you'll be living in this town, Wind Town." (in plain speech)
Isaac:
Isaac is Nerine's husband and the father of the twins. He's kind, polite, and he loves his daughters very much. He's the one that oversees your windmill progress.
Kevin:
Kevin is Claire and Wilbur's son. He's full of energy and always likes to play pranks on people.
Laramie
Isaac and Nerine's daughter. She's Sigyn's twin. She's a quiet girl who follows her sister. Quote: ".... Um... hello..."
Merini:
Maybe Melanie in the English version. This is Mina's grandmother, and the two run the cafe together. She's a very good cook and is optimistic and cheerful.
Mina:
This is Mina. She runs the cafe with her grandmother, Merini. A lot of people go to the cafe just to see her---so much that she has a fan club! (Apparently this is a fairly normal thing in Japan: boys will make fan clubs for good-looking girls, and vice versa, mostly in high school.)
Mucho:
Mucho is the second oldest of three brothers. He has a habit of adding "desa da yo!" to the end of his sentences. In English it'll probably be translated as "ariba!" or something.
Nerine:
Isaac's wife and the mother of twins. She likes to chat with her sister, Claire.
Sigyn:
Isaac and Nerine's daughter. She's Laramie's twin sister. She's the more mischievous of the twins and can be kind of bossy. Quote: "I'm Sigyn! Laramie's big sister. Nice to meetcha!"
Sonia:
Sonia runs the hotel with her husband, Stewart. She's a kind of grandmotherly figure. Quote: "Oh my, even the morning came early today, didn't it?"
Stewart:
Sonia's husband. They run the hotel together. He's a frank grandfather who likes to chatter with anyone who visits the hotel. Quote: "This, this is good isn't it? [translation unclear]"
Wilbur:
Husband of Claire, and father of Kevin. He's the local carpenter and is very skilled in his work.
Yes I beleive it will come to the USA. But after Shining Sun and Friends.

Dude, I feel Royd is much more similar to Kyouya Ootori from Ouran High School Host Club
BTW, here's my info about courting
I'm sorry about the courting, I only know 2 bachelors that is Dirka and Juris (cuz I'm focusing on Juris)
Juris: He is a teacher, and his hobby is reading books. He is Dirka's older brother. His personalities:gentle and sensitive Birthday:20th of Fall Loves:Herb perfume (you can make that perfume using the 3rd windmill discovered on the 20th of Fall) Likes:Blue magic grass, mint, chamomile, lavender, moondrop flower, toyflower Dislikes:sweets, dry curry (that doesn't mean that you can give him weeds, he still hates it)
Dirka: He works part-time at Merini's cafe. He is Juris' younger brother. His personalities are cheerful and optimistic Birthday:12th of Summer (same as me! I'm on July!) Loves:cream croquette (i don't know the recipe and I don't where i can find the recipe) Likes:bronze coin, red magic grass (there are other stuff too, but I forgot what it is) Hates:weeds (and again there are other stuff, but this is the simplest to remember)
How to marry Dirka/Juris: you must have at least 5-6 hearts with the other brothers. And like the usual HM games, you need to buy a double bed and blue feather. You can get the double bed from the bazaar if the bazaar is upgraded once. You can get the blue feather from a villager (i forgot who) on the 2nd year and beyond when your chosen bachelor/ette has already reached an orange color or above (red)
PS:there is one villager that i know who likes weeds, he is Kevin (he's the little boy)
The child: In order to get pregnant, you must have the deluxe bed (i don't know where you can buy it at the bazaar) and then, 30 days later (you know what happens we're pregnant) I don't know when can we give birth. Unlike IoH and HMDS/cute, this time, the child has 2 stages. The first stage is the baby with the ducky clothing (little ducky..ROFL) and the 2nd stage is the toddler (it looks 6-8 years old). The toddler has 2 styles, the girl has a blond hair, and the boy has brown hair.

When I look at Anemone, I instantly think, "Oh no...Popuri, but even more annoying, it seems..." Royd reminds me slightly of Vaughn. And Claire...isn't that the name of the blonde heroin in MFoMT?
