This 'Most Favourrite Gift' has a value of +800 Friendship Points when given. There is one special Gift that is worth far more than all others for each of the Eligible Girls and Bachelors.
An Item that the Character dislikes or loathes will decrrease Friendship Levels although the effect is not permanent. Heart Events, technically 'Flower Events' in Two Towns, cannot be experienced until you have reached a required Flower Level with the Eligible Girl or Bachelor in question.Īs Cheryl will instruct you, a Gift should be an Item that the Character likes in order to have a positive effect on Friendship Levels. New options are unlocked often when you attain a specific Friendship Level with a Character. Harvest Moon games are driven by social interactions. The successful completion of a Request will raise Friendship Levels as well as giving Rewards in the form of special Items, including new Tools.Īt the start of the game, Request Rewards in the form of Cooked Dishes often will be a means of obtaining Favourite Gifts for other Characters that otherwise could not be created or purchased in the first or second seasons of gameplay. If you attempt to give a second Gift, it will be refused very politely.Īnother important social interaction in Tale of Two Towns is the Request System, whereby you can complete Requests that are posted on the Bulletin Boards both in Bluebell Village and in Konohana Village. Only one Gift can be given to any Individual per day. It is when you speak to some one again and then once more after that in the course of any encounter that you will learn interesting facts and details. The first dialogue will be no more than a greeting. Remember when you speak to any one to speak to them two or three times. It is not necessary to give Gifts to Characters in order to raise Friendship Levels but Gifts are worth more in terms of Friendship Points than simple conversation. If not, try to alternate between Characters or Villages so that you do not neglect any one. If you can do this on a daily basis with every one in both Villages, so much the better. Primary is the ritual of 'meeting and greeting' every one regularly. The process of raising Friendship Levels will be familiar to any one who ever played Harvest Moon and/or Rune Factory. Hmm? Worried you’ll give some one something they hate? Tee-hee! Don’t worry! Even if you don’t give gifts to people, just talk to them to become better friends! If you talk to them every day, you’ll learn the things they like and dislike! If you live in Konohana, it is Ayame who will impart some information about making friends.Ĭheryl: To improve your friendship with people, just talk to them every day! People naturally become better friends with some one who talks to them every day! My big brother Ash’s rule of building friendships is: Greet every one you meet! Fulfilling requests and taking part in village events are good, too! And that’s how it works!Ĭheryl: Did you kow that you can give gifts to people? To give some one a gift, talk to them while holding what you want to give them! If the present is something they like, they’ll be soooo happy! You’ll become closer friends and they’ll like you more! But if you give them something they hate, they’ll like you less. If you live in Bluebell, Cheryl will give you the Tutorial. One of the Initial Requests deals with social interactions. Romance is an integral part of the game and Courtship can lead to Marriage. Credits I am indebted to ILuvHM for her assistance, especially with Character Responses to specific Gifts.Īs in any Harvest Moon game, social interactions are a key to success.
