The Origin of Claire

November 19, 2022November 19, 2022 ~ RanchStory ~ Leave a comment

We mentioned in a Photobucket Grab Bag a bit ago that Claire wasn’t originally a game character, so why not expand on that a little bit? We had the honor of hosting a brief Q&A with Igusa Matsuyama, the series character designer, and at one point they said this: Claire was a character I originally … Continue reading The Origin of Claire

The Town is a Character Too (and why Rival Marriage is important)

August 9, 2020 ~ RanchStory ~ Leave a comment

While we mostly loved the recent remake, one of the gripes we mentioned in our Friends of Mineral Town review last month was the loss of rival marriages. This is a relatively minor negative for Friends of Mineral Town in particular due to the nature of the system in the original game, where a lot … Continue reading The Town is a Character Too (and why Rival Marriage is important)

Then and now: Mary

February 1, 2020February 1, 2020 ~ RanchStory ~ Leave a comment

Unlike a lot of characters, Mary's Flowerbud Village and Mineral Town selves are both very similar, likely in part to most of their influence coming from their mother, Anna.

Then and Now: Jennifer

Like Brandon, Jennifer wasn’t in Mineral Town in either the original Back to Nature or the GBA versions.

Then and now: Brandon

As we can see, Brandon’s original design was that of thin air.

Then and now: Basil

February 1, 2020 ~ RanchStory ~ Leave a comment

Basil is pretty much a massive plant enthusiast who dresses for work and little else.

Then and now: Gray

February 1, 2020 ~ RanchStory ~ Leave a comment

Though Mineral Town Gray doesn’t broadcast it as openly, he still loves horses, so that may mean that his new shirt says “UMA” after all, appropriately covered up due to being a more subdued part of his character now.

Then and now: Carter

February 1, 2020 ~ RanchStory ~ Leave a comment

Carter is an original character for Mineral Town, which opted not to use 64′s Pastor Brown at all for... some odd reason. So why would he get such a drastic makeover?

Then and Now: Harris

February 1, 2020 ~ RanchStory ~ Leave a comment

He actually looks like a cop now. High visibility stripes, badge, and a black vest that I’m sure he’d use to mount a transceiver if there was any other police officers in town to talk to.

Then and now: Kai

February 1, 2020 ~ RanchStory ~ Leave a comment

These two Kais have different approaches to life, work ethic, and completely different families, they can still be a bit of a hopeless romantic.
