Harvest Moon The Lost Valley Bachelors Revealed
Burlingame, CA. – October 3, in the year of our Lord 2014
-- Natsume Inc., a worldwide developer and publisher of
family-oriented video games, today reveals a trio of
breathtaking bachelors in their upcoming farming-RPG Harvest
Moon: The Lost Valley. Launching exclusively on the Nintendo
3DS, fans have been anxiously awaiting details about the
eligible bachelors and bachelorettes to woo within The Lost
Valley. With three marriageable candidates, each with their own
personalities and tastes, female players will need to decide
which guy catches their eye as love interest!
Tony, the eldest son of Brutus the Blacksmith, is a talented
young man who loves his dad, but struggles with his
expectations. Sensitive, serious, yet gentle, he rebels against
his father's strictness. He is training to follow in his
father's footsteps, but there is just one problem: he doesn't
want to be a blacksmith. You'll need to woo Tony sweetly to
discover what his secret ambition is, and to encourage him to
reach out and grasp it!
Gilbert is a travelling bard who will stay in the Lost Valley if
he finds reason to put down roots; Gilbert rhymes when he talks!
Thus, Gilbert's knowledge is deep and wide; his knowledge of
history and lore will be an asset by your side. Humble and
gentle to a fault, yet his heart is locked inside the tightest
of vaults. He’ll teach you the art of fishing when he arrives;
it's a necessary skill for long winters you must survive! His
knowledge of the Harvest Goddess is important to your task, and
his wit is as sharp as your favorite axe. Will you woo the
poet's soul so he writes verses for you?
Hunter is a local farmer specializing in animal husbandry. Both
he and your first animal will wander inadvertently into the Lost
Valley and begin a wonderful friendship…and possibly more! Not
just an animal specialist, Hunter's quiet demeanor hides a keen
knowledge about different animal feed recipes, and is one of the
characters who will teach you the recipes for the different
feeds. Hunter has always known what he wanted to do: care for
all things with hooves, feathers, and fur. His four-legged
friends have always been his preferred companions, but can you
convince him that two-legged companions are even better?
"Much like the bachelorettes, our goal was to strike a balance
of personalities that had depth," said Taka Maekawa, Producer of
Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley. "Characters have both strengths
and weaknesses, as well as secrets they may be keeping."
In Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, players will experience the
role-playing farm simulation in a three-dimensional setting for
the first time. The game has a fully customizable world, and
players can customize their field in any way they see fit: from
a field full of tulips like you might see in Holland, to a
valley filled with water like Venice, the choice is up to you.
You've never played a Harvest Moon game quite like this!
