Back on my SDV propaganda: I need y'all to hear me out about Gunther.

(dissertation below // Ginger Island spoilers?)

I feel like he's pretty much forgotten most of the time but he has so much potential and it's the one character that I would love to see becoming romanceable. He manages the library and the museum! He's into literature and archeology! Hello?? Long haired, bearded, bespectacled, curated vintage wearing, academic, classy af man??

Some personality headcanons: Gunther is hardworking and responsible (took on the museum and takes care of ancient books and artifacts all by himself, which is no joke), obviously not very extroverted or social, incredibly private and aloof but always kind, soft spoken, gentlemanly to the point of being a little old fashioned. He's very nostalgic and also a bit of a hopeless dreamer - something that he only lets slip once you get to know him better.

Also his story could be really interesting because what if he's related to Professor Snail?? His son, for example (this is out of pocket but they kinda look alike...from afar lol). Maybe Snail raised him surrounded by books and archeological collections, thought him all he knew, maybe little Gunther really looked up to him. But the professor made knowledge his biggest life mission, and kept traveling to different sites, staying gone for more and more time, until the day he didn't make it back home at all. That could be why older Gunther decided to come to Pelican Town and take on the hopeless empty museum, following his father's footsteps. Plus we get a wholesome reunion once Snail is freed from the Ginger Island cave and they can meet again 🥹

(Bonus regarding in-game ships - HE NEEDS TO DATE PENNY, PENNY NEEDS TO DATE HIM. please. She deserves someone reliable and gentle that buys her books, come on. He would secretively gaze at her while she teaches the kids and feel very guilty about it, ignoring the fact that she got a massive crush on him since the day he arrived in Pelican Town 🥺 AUGHH they would be such a cute couple)

A "Best Price" version of Friends of Mineral Town releases in Japan

Announced earlier today, the retail version of Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town (牧場物語 再会のミネラルタウン) will have a reduced price at 3278, yen, down from 5800 yen. It's not known if there will be a further price reduction for the game in other regions, where it's already at a reduced MSRP of $29.99 in North America, and 39,99 € in Europe, but is often discounted.

The most entertaining part about the news however is that there is a commemorative illustration by legendary artist Igusa Matsuyama, which you can see in the embedded post above, or here:

So I Have A Theory

Not a very good one, mind you, but I wanted to share it regardless.

I've been looking at a bunch of Harvest Moon/ Story of Seasons posts on Tumblr, and there were two I saw that made me come up with this theory. The first (this one may have actually been a reddit comment but it doesn't really matter) was someone talking about how they always give their customizable farmer eyes and/or hair like the Harvest Goddess to imply they're one of her descendants - since she's pretty frequently a secret marriage candidate. They did this as a way to justify why only the player character can see the gods/other mythical characters, because they have a little bit of magic themself. The other was a post joking about how a lot of the medicines Ford makes in Trio of Towns border on basically being magic potions.

So What If Ford Was Actually A Descendant Of The Witch Princess?

She's marriageable in a couple of games just like the Harvest Goddess, and you can have kids with her. What are the odds a few generations down the line one of her descendants becomes a fantastic doctor with a little help from some half-dormant bloodline magic? I don't think the Witch Princess would keep very good track of her mortal bloodline after her human partner passes - I imagine she takes a human partner every so often just because she's immortal and gets bored super easily - which would also explain why Witchie never mentions the connection despite her and the Witch Princess being really close.

Thematically its pretty interesting too. The Witch Princess mostly just uses her magic to hurt/inconvenience people, while Ford wants to use him magic medicines to help as many people as possible. Also I just think it would be really funny for "skeptical of the supernatural in a game where everyone else just agrees the gods exist" Ford to secretly have a little bit of divine heritage in him. As a treat.

Striking similarities between these two.
