Thanks for General Guide for HM Cute DS

Hey, Freyashawk. I just wanted to drop an e-mail saying that I read your guides and they are brilliant, for the Harvest Moon DS and DS Cute games. I have never read any guide like it, and I ab-so-lutely love it. They're just so amazing and detailed. =D

And, a question about the Harvest Moon DS Cute General guide: why isn't there a table of contents? I'm too lazy to Ctrl-F and weed through every word that has to do with "Gustafa" or something. XDD

Other than that, again, your guides are amazing. When I started reading, I was too lazy to read it through. But when I did, MAN. Awesome. And then I saw you had one for Virtual Villagers: A New Home. Duude, you are my hero. ^^

So yeah, this is just a fan-mail and I'd like it if you could reply some time between now and next century. Once again, you're my hero for making these guides. Or else I'd have to go through sucky guides that barely give you any information, or copy it directly off of some site. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THEM. <3

My response: Thanks for your vote of confidence in me. As for Cute, I didn't realise I never wrote a ToC for that guide. As soon as I have time, I will remedy that. So much to do...

Thanks for Advice about Littering

Links to all my guides, (including my Courtship and Marriage Guide with a section devoted to Skye, his heart events and so on), are given on the right side of the page.

First of all, it's not a 'cheat' to change your outfit. It should give an AP boost to every bachelor, including Skye. You should have a Love Bangle so you can see his precise AP and FP levels when you speak to him. You can buy that at the Casino.

The best item to give him before you can cook his favourite curry is any toiletry from the Excavation Site, so you have been giving the right gifts. If his heart level hasn't changed at all, you must be littering. Littering will decrease AP and FP, and even bring it down to zero...

You cannot throw or drop ANY item, including weeds, even by accident and even on your own land. If you do, you will be littering and every one's affection and friendship can drop.

Good luck!

NOTE FROM FREYASHAWK: I am posting this here because this is only one email among many from a player desperate because she kept losing AP with her heart's desire. Once again: you cannot throw or drop ANY item on the ground, even on your own land, in Harvest Moon DS or Cute DS.

I've been reading your game walkthrough's for years now i think and i just have to say, GREAT JOB ON ALL OF THEM. The Valkyrie Profile, Lenneth one was so good compared to all the others I've read, sorry to waste your time but i just think i should applaud you for doing such a great job on ALL your walkthrough's. No where else can I find any other walkthrough about the new harvest moon game besides from your name in IGNfaq's. :D great job on all of your faq's and keep up the great work. i'm sure a lot of other people appreciate your work too.
Thanks for contributing SO MUCH to the gaming community and keep up the great work,
Loyal reader of your's :D

Note from Freyashawk: I received this email at a time when I really needed some encouragement. Snowed under by almost a thousand emails asking questions for which my guides provided detailed answers, it really was wonderful to receive an email of thanks...

From Athena

From Freyashawk: You are most welcome. Cute quickly became one of my favourite Harvest Moon games and it was a pleasure to write the guides.

Courting Kai in Cute ...

Hello, I would like to start off by saying thank you very much for you guides on IGN.com. They have been very helpful so far. I did have a question if you wouldn't mind answering. I was wondering if Kai is ever around thoughout the months other than summer. If you have a chance to respond I would appreciate it. Thanks again for the guides!

Stephanie


Dear Stephanie,

I am glad that you find my guides helpful. It is kind of you to mention it. Too many players simply email me with 'Yo, dude! How do you find...?'

The answer to your question is that Kai only visits the Valley during the Summer. Although this makes courtship a longer process in OTHER Harvest Moon games like Harvest Moon Boy & Girl and More Friends of Mineral Town, in Cute he is the easiest Mineral Town bachelor to court and in fact, you should have him at deepest red heart by the beginning of the second summer and be able to marry him before he leaves at the end of that season.

He is easy to please as well. Give him a bag of flour and he will be very happy. A Pineapple is his Most Favourite gift, though and if you give him a Pineapple each day, you will have no trouble marrying him in the 2nd summer.

Remember that the other Mineral Town bachelors visit the Valley only one day each week which means a maximum of 4 visits per season and 16 per year. Kai is in the Valley for 30 days in Summer each year. In other words, you can raise his heart level twice as quickly as any other bachelor from Mineral Town.

Good luck with your game! Kai is even more attractive in Cute than in any other Harvest Moon game that includes him. His Fourth Heart Event overwhelmed me frankly and marriage to Kai is delightful. You will find the text of all his Heart Events, Marriage Proposal and Wedding Event in my Courtship and Marriage Guide in the Text section, although you probably would rather be surprised by experiencing them 'new'. The schedule of his Heart Events as well as his likes and dislikes is included in the section that deals specifically with Kai.
