Then and Now: Jennifer

So, clearly, one thing a lot of people noticed with the announcement of Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town is that a lot of the characters have changed their appearance. While some of these changes are hit and miss, there’s a lot of changes that make sense! So I thought I would do a little series about them. So I present…

Then and Now: Jennifer!

Like Brandon, Jennifer wasn’t in Mineral Town in either the original Back to Nature or the GBA versions. Her background is that of a city girl who ditches her lifestyle to become a vagabond, setting up her tent in Mineral Town. Personally, I feel I can understand the feeling… Day in, day out, all the same things in the same places with the same faces…

An ordinary day after an ordinary day… Get up in the morning, go to work as usual, leave work, go to eat, go home and sleep… Everyday… The same pattern… Y’know, I’ve seen some folks likening her design to Karen’s original look but with the character description we have she’s actually extremely similar to Claire’s original background story.

Claire seems to have the same opening scene as Pete instead of her unique City one now though. I have wondered if maybe the new protagonists have the City opening now to differentiate them further but that’s 100% purely speculation on my part and I sort of doubt it since we haven’t seen any of it so far. If that’s the case, I guess Jennifer could be pretty much what remains of that story concept from the More Friends/For Girl version of the game.
