*******************************************************************************1.1. What is this Guide about? [Guide-About]*******************************************************************************

This guide is a general Courting, Dating, and Marriage Guide for Rune Factory2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon. It covers both the Bachelorettes in First

Page 5: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Generationand the Love Candidates in Second Generation.

I hope that, with this guide, you'll be able to discover the many ways you areable to court each love interest that you can find in this game, and what thebest way to court each of the love interests is.

The information you can find in this guide includes (but is certainly notlimited to) the following:~ The different ways in which you can court each Bachelorette or Love Candidate~ Information about the different ways of courting~ The quests for each Bachelorette and Love Candidate~ What marriage is like to a Bachelorette in First Generation~ What "marriage" is like to a Love Candidate in Second Generation~ The dialogue of each Bachelorette during your marriage to her

*******************************************************************************1.2. About the Author [Author]*******************************************************************************

Hello! I am Aera (username otakuAera on GameSpot/GameFAQs). This is my veryfirst time writing any kind of guide or FAQ, so if you spot some informationthat is wrong, or think that I left something out, please don't hesitate tocontact me at: [email protected]

I had originally thought to write down what each Bachelorette says during hermarriage, for my own general amusement. But then I thought, "Maybe other RF2gamers would like to know what they say, too?" So, I went to the Rune Factory 2forum on GameSpot, and offered to share the fruits of my labor. To myastonishment, some people were interested. So, I thought to write a FAQ foreach Bachelorette's dialogue during her marriage.

Page 6: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

I then started researching the best way to write a FAQ and how to format it andsuch... and I ended up looking at the other guides that GameSpot/GameFAQs hasfor Rune Factory 2 for ideas. And I thought that, even though they say who theBachelorettes and Love Candidates are, they don't really tell you how to goabout courting them and the fastest/best way to raise their Love Levels.

Ergo, I decided to expand my FAQ into a courting guide, and started contactingother authors for their opinion on my idea and the best way to go aboutproducing it.

Thus, I present you with this guide! I hope you enjoy it, and find it not onlyinformative, but also easy to navigate!

*******************************************************************************1.3. Guide Structure [Guide-Setup]*******************************************************************************

The structure of this guide is almost nearly identical to that of Lerion andWinchu's FAQ/Walkthrough. So, if you're familiar with that, you should know howthis is set up. But, for propriety's sake, I shall explain the setup of thisguide.

Different symbols are used for each level of headers, and each section andsubsection has its own number and a bracketed tag-word for an easy find.

Example 1 - Section Header: The symbols used for section and ############################## subsection

Page 7: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

levels are as follows:X. Section Name [Tag] ~ Level 1: ################################### ~ Level 2: ***** ~ Level 3: =====Example 2 - Subsection Header:****************************** ~ The tags are located in []; for anX.X. Subsection Name [Tag] easier search, include the [].****************************** ~ The X represents a number.

Example 3 - Sub-subsection Header:===================================X.X.X. Sub-subsection Name [Tag]===================================

I'll be using other symbols for various ways of separating information thatdon't need to have its own section, but must be separated nonetheless.

Example 1 - Quest Info: The symbols used as ways of separatingX. "Quest Name" information are as follows:------------------------------ ~ The - symbol will be used as a meansInformation of indicating a kind of underlining; a "below this line is informationExample 2 - table: pertaining to the label/word/headingHeading1 | Heading2 | Heading3 that is above this line."------------------------------ ~ The ~ symbol will be used as a bulletInfo | Info | Info point.Info.....|.Info.....|.Info ~ The . symbol will be used as a way toInfo | Info | Info easily follow information that isInfo.....|.Info.....|.Info placed in tables. ~ The | symbol will be used as a way toExample 3 - bulleted list: separate the columns in tables.This sentence hints at a list: ~ The X symbol (used in Example 1 and~ Information 4) is to indicate a number.~ Information ~ The * symbol may be used at times. It will mean that there is extraExample 4 - dialogue sections: information about something, and to

Day X - notes look at the end of the section for------------------------------ the extra information. Essentially, aA: Dialogue footnote.

*******************************************************************************1.4. Vocabulary Used in Guide [Guide-Vocab]*******************************************************************************

Also, for the general purposes of game-terms in this guide, I'll explain whatwords I shall use and what I mean when I use those words.Just to make sure that I'm making myself clear.

First off, I'll be using the generic names that the game gives you for thehero(s)/main character(s): Kyle, Aria, and Aaron.

Vocabulary/Terms used by Aera:(And these are alphabetized.)

~ Bachelorette(s): the love interest(s) you encounter in First Generation (Alicia, Cecilia, Dorothy, Julia, Mana, Rosalind, Yue).

~ beau: (pronounced "bow") just in case any of y'all are confused, or were wondering... a "beau" is (and I'm going to take this straight from my trusty dictionary) - "1. A boyfriend or male admirer; 2. a rich, fashionable young man; a dandy."

~ citizens: see "villagers." They're the same thing. People who live in Alvarna.

~ contest festival: a festival in which you participate in some kind of contest.

~ crop: one crop is the mature vegetables/fruits from a single 9x9 square of

Page 9: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

farming land; or any vegetable/fruit that you (as Kyle) can grow.

~ Day: the the daytime hours in RF2, which is from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

~ e.g.: this is an abbreviation for "for example."

~ farm plot: a place where you can plant crops. Can either refer to the whole area where you can farm, or a single 9x9 square of farming land.

~ First Generation: refers to the first part of the game, when you play as Kyle.

~ Friend Level: see "Friendship Level." Same thing. Used interchangeably for formatting purposes.

~ Friendship Level: how many friendship points a Bachelorette or Love Candidate or villager has; which may be abbreviated to FP.

~ FP: "Friend Points." See "Friendship Level" for details.

~ game-: if I ever say something like "game-time" or "game-day," it refers to the time passing within the Rune Factory 2 game. For example, a "game-minute" is a real-life second, and one "game-hour" is one real-life minute. Thus, a "game-day" would be from the time Kyle/Aria/Aaron gets up in the morning until he/she goes to sleep at night, or simply 24 game-hours. However, "game- day" may be shortened to simply "day."

~ i.e.: this is an abbreviation for "that is to say," and is "used to add explanatory information or to state something in different words" (quoted from a dictionary).

~ liked item: an item that is liked by a love interest or villager.

~ lose/regain control: when you're in "control," it means that you (as Kyle,

Page 10: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Aria, or Aaron) can run around and do stuff; you determine what your game- self does. Thus, when you "lose control," you have no say in what's happening, because the game has a set sequence of what happens during that time. And when you "regain control," it means the game has finished its set sequence of events, and you can make Kyle/Aria/Aaron run around again.

~ Love Candidate(s): the love interest(s) you encounter in Second Generation, both female and male (Cammy, Leann, Sera & Serena, Leonel, Orland, Roy).

~ love interest(s): either a single Bachelorette or Love Candidate, or the Bachelorettes and/or Love Candidates.

~ Love Level: how many love points a Bachelorette or Love Candidate has; which may be abbreviated to LP.

~ LP: "Love Points." See "Love Level" for details.

~ Monster Drop: the item that you randomly receive upon killing a Monster.

~ Monster Portal: the portal, or gate if you prefer (it looks like a portal to me), where Monsters come out of.

~ NB: this is an abbreviation for "Nota Bene." It stems from Latin, and it means "note well." Pay attention whenever you see these - they could note important things for you to keep in mind.

~ Night: The nighttime hours in RF2, which is from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM.

~ Proposal Item: the item you need in order to propose to a Bachelorette to marry her.

~ romantic festival: a festival that is specially targeted towards

Page 11: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

participation with a love interest.

~ RF2: an abbreviation for "Rune Factory 2," because it doesn't take as long to type.

~ Second Generation: refers to the second part of the game, when you play as either Aaron or Aria.

~ spam: to do something a lot (i.e. multiple times) repeatedly in order to gain points for either FP/LP or experience for levels (e.g. Swordsmanship, Magic, Cooking, etc.)

~ special event festival: a festival where the villagers stand around the town, and comment on the day. Nothing particularly exciting happens besides the festive music (and the confetti, if there is any).

~ villagers: can mean one of two things. In general, when I say "villagers" I mean "everyone," but the "everyone" can either be "everyone who lives in Alvarna" or "everyone except the love interest(s)." But for the most part, it means "everyone who lives in Alvarna, except certain people who I've mentioned previously (in the section) by name." Hopefully, it'll be clear which "everyone" it is by the context.

If you feel like there is some term I used that I was not clear on the meaning,please don't hesitate to contact me! I'll add your term to this list!

###############################################################################2. Explanation of Bachelorettes [Expl-Bachelorette]###############################################################################

Why do I have to deal with Bachelorettes? Why should I have to marry someone?It's so much effort to get one to love me, why should I even bother? Can't Ijust work on my farm, dungeon-dive, kill Monsters, and all that other stuff?

Well, when you're playing as Kyle in First Generation, there's not so manythings for you to do. Yes, you can farm, kill Monsters, raise Monsters, fish,mine, and throw Fireballs, among other things, but really - compared to whatyou can do in Second Generation (which is... uh... two-thirds or more of thegame) - that's not much.

So, the reason you have to deal with Bachelorettes is because, in FirstGeneration, the Bachelorettes are the main plot. You play as Kyle's child(Aaron or Aria) in Second Generation, and in order for Kyle to have a child youhave to get married. (Not necessarily true in real life, but in this game, youmust get married to have a child.)

Thus, in order to get to the more exciting part of Rune Factory 2, you have tomarry a Bachelorette and have a child.

Page 15: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

The nice thing is, there's seven of them to choose from. And even better, Ithink, is that they did a nice job of picking a variety of personalities toappeal to the largest possible audience. Each Bachelorette has a distinctpersonality, and I'm fairly certain that you'll be able to choose one whom youlike best.

So, in order to marry a Bachelorette, you have to raise her Friendship and LoveLevels to 10, get her Proposal Item, and give it to her to propose and getmarried.

Then, once you're married, you have to wait until the baby comes. Which,thankfully, isn't very long. Only... 16 game-days after the wedding.

And once the baby is born, you can convince Byron to build a school. Which getsbuilt in 10 days, by the way. (I don't know about you, but I think that's anincredible feat to accomplish.)

ONLY THEN can you go admire the beautiful school you paid to have built and getto move on to Second Generation to do a whole bunch of other cool stuff.

So. That's what the Bachelorettes are for. They're a stepping-stone to get tothe more fun part of the game.

But don't let that damper your spirits. Courting the Bachelorettes is reallyfun! (At least, I find it great fun.)

###############################################################################3. Explanation of Love Candidates [Expl-LoveCan]##########################################

Page 16: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

#####################################

What do you mean, "Love Candidates?" What is this nonsense? I got to getmarried in First Generation... why is it I can't do that in Second Generation?!Why are they even there?!

Whereas the Bachelorettes were the main plot in First Generation, the LoveCandidates are only a side-story for Second Generation. There's only three eachfor Aria and Aaron.

Aaron's Love Candidates: Cammy, Leann, Sera & Serena.Aria's Love Candidates: Leonel, Orland, Roy (and Sera & Serena).

(Sera & Serena are a special case... apparently, they don't really care aboutgender, thus you'll be able to have a pretend marriage with them whether you'replaying as Aaron or Aria. However, I believe only Aaron can participate inlove-oriented/romantic festivals with them.)

And no, you can't get married in Second Generation. Why not? You're a child.Children don't get married. You are SEVEN YEARS OLD, for goodness' sake! Seven-year-olds don't get married. No, they CAN'T get married. That's just... it's...it's... It simply isn't done.

However, even though you can't get married, you can still have a fun littlepretend-marriage with your lady or beau of choice.

In order to get to your pretend marriage, you have to raise the LoveCandidates' Friendship and Love Levels, and you must complete all of his/herquests on the Bulletin Board. It's the last quest you want - in these, youconfess your feelings and have the pretend marriage.

Page 17: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

... And that's pretty much it. Love Candidates are there if you ever get boredof farming, smithing, dungeon-diving, alchemy, cooking, saving the world... andfeel like a little romance.

###############################################################################4. Introduction to Your Loves [Intro-Loves]###############################################################################

In the following sections (4.1 thru 4.3), you'll find descriptions of eachBachelorette and Love Candidate. Just to try to show what kind of personalitythey have, and a little bit about their life in Alvarna.

Other included information:~ Family (parent(s), sibling(s), etc.; i.e. relatives)~ Birthday~ Proposal Item~ Rival/Default Marriage~ "Proposal" Quest

I shall explain, by example, how these sections are organized:

Bachelorette Name------------------------------Description of the Bachelorette.

Birthday: date of birthdayProposal Item: the item you need in order to propose to the BacheloretteDefault Marriage: your rival-in-love and the date of the marriage

Relatives:~ any family members the Bachelorette might have

Love Candidate Name------------------------------Description of Love Candidate.

Page 18: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Birthday: date of birthday"Proposal" Quest: quest name and number that results in the pretend marriage

Relatives:~ any family members the Love Candidate might have

NB - I'll be including "if" situations. Stuff like, "if PersonA marriedPersonB..." etc., etc. Therefore, to make it easier for myself, I'll be using"m." to mean "marries" or "married to."

For more information about birthdays, proposal items, the rivals/defaultmarriages, and the "marriage" quests, please go to the following sections:~ 6. Birthdays (tag Birthdays)~ 11.2. Bachelorette Proposal Items (tag Pro-Bachelorette)~ 7.3. Rival Warning! (tag RivalWedding)~ 9.4. Love Candidate Quests - The Ladies (tag LoveCanQuests-F)~ 9.5. Love Candidate Quests - The Gentlemen (tag LoveCanQuests-M)

*******************************************************************************4.1. Bachelorettes [Intro-Bachelorette]*******************************************************************************

Alicia-------------------------------------------------------------------------------The fortune-teller of Alvarna. Her predictions about the weather and people'slocations are always correct, but her Love Readings are another story. Sheargues a lot with her mother about her fortune-telling job, and her brothertries to calm them down every time this happens. She's rather flirtatious, andit's hard to tell when she's joking or not.

She enjoys her new life inAlvarna and is trying to do her best as a maid. Cecilia is glad that she chosethis path, since she is learning a lot at her job and has been able to meet alot of new people. She's a bit soft-spoken, but she's a nice girl.

###############################################################################5. Courting [Courting]###############################################################################

Page 26: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

In the following sections (5.1 thru 5.5), I hope to educate you on how to bestgo about courting your chosen love interest. You'll find information about thedifferent ways to court, some do's and don'ts, and what's the fastest/best way(in my opinion) to raise the Friendship and Love Levels of each love interest.

*******************************************************************************5.1. General Rules of Courting [Court-GenRule]*******************************************************************************

Here I'll explain the (my) general rules of courting. Or rather, the differentways you can court love interests. Not only does this apply to raising theFriend and Love Levels of the love interests, this information can also beapplied to the other villagers of Alvarna to raise their Friendship Levels.

Rule 1: Talking

Talk to your lady or beau every day (and when I say "day," I mean "game-day").Rain or shine, festival or not. You won't see great results within a few days.Thus, you should talk to your love interest every single day of the week,throughout the seasons and year(s). By talking to them every day, you'll raisetheir Friendship and Love Levels by a little bit each day, and after a fewweeks or season(s), you'll see the Friendship and Love Levels go up.

ALSO: Talking to the love interest on a festival day gives you extra points inraising the Friendship and Love Levels. You'll want to make sure you talk to

Page 27: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

your love interest on every festival day because it raises the Friend and LoveLevels just that much faster.

A note to you all - I talk to every villager once a day; every day. I wake upin the morning, water all my crops (on the farm and in the dungeons), then atabout (after) 9:00 AM (because I can go into houses and people aren't walkingaround) I go around and talk to every single Alvarna citizen. For festivals, Iactually talk to everyone twice. Once before I participate in the festival, andonce after I participate in the festival.

NB - Talking doesn't always work in certain cases. Talking to Alicia, forinstance, won't raise her Love Level. However, there may be some cases, too,where talking is the only thing that works. But, in general, talking usuallygives you points, and I will make sure to specify which people are theexceptions to this rule.

Rule 2: Gifts (daily) and Presents (birthday)

Giving gifts of liked items to your love interest daily is a good idea, but itcan be a bit impractical if the liked item is hard to find or obtain. If youcan get one of your love interest's liked items easily (e.g. Pink Turnips forMana - they only take 4 game-days to grow), I suggest giving ONE (1) of theseitems to them daily. Don't give them more than one liked item a day - you'llonly get points for the Friendship and Love Levels for the first gift, thusother gifts after that are wasted. This includes stacked items. Giving a stackof nine (9) items to a love interest at once gives you the same amount ofpoints as giving them one (1) item. So just stick to one item a day.

Page 28: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

If you happen to find a liked item that's hard to come by, save it for afestival day. Just like talking, giving a liked item on a festival day givesyou extra points. So save that rare liked item to give to your love interest ona festival day.

DO NOT give a love interest her/his disliked item. You'll lose points: her/hisFriendship and Love Level will go down.

NB - There may also be the exception where gift-giving won't work (e.g.Alicia), and I'll be sure to specify which people are the exception to thisrule. But otherwise, gift-giving helps.

Birthday presents are also important. Giving a love interest's birthday presenton her/his birthday will give you more points than a daily gift. In FirstGeneration, all birthday presents can be bought from Yue. Yue's stock doesn'tchange in Second Generation, so you can still buy Cammy's and Roy's presentsfrom her, but you'll have to make the presents for the other Love Candidatesyourself (since you can cook in Second Generation).

Rule 3: Festivals

Always participate in every festival. ALWAYS. Participating in the festivalsgives extra points towards raising Friend and Love Levels. You'll understandthe specifics of what I'm about to say here if you go to section 8. Festivals(tag Festivals), but I'll try my best to make myself clear.

Some festivals are targeted toward participation with a love interest - you'llwant to participate in these festivals with your favorite love interest. Onlythe love interest(s) you participate with in these festivals will gain points

Page 29: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

to raise their Friendship and Love Level(s).

There are other festivals which are some kind of contest - you'll definitelywant to participate in all of these festivals, as they give extra points toraise ALL of the love interests' Friendship and Love Levels.

The remaining festivals that are not a contest or love-orientated (there areonly four of these) aren't very special... but still, talking to love interestson these festivals will give you extra points to raising Friendship and LoveLevels.

By the way, in general, if you're well on your way to marrying your chosenBachelorette or Love Candidate, and want to get all the love interests' LoveLevels to 10, use the romantic (love-orientated) festivals as a way to raisethe Love Levels of girls/boys you're having the most trouble with. In FirstGeneration, this is usually Alicia and Rosalind, and for Second Generation... Ithink it's Leann (at least) and perhaps Orland.

As for me with romantic festivals - it's my chosen love interest is priority,then the lowest/hardest Love Level is next. However, if I know I can get mychosen love's LP up fast and easy, it's lowest/hardest Love Level that ispriority (since I like to get everyone's LP up to 10).

Rule 4: The Bulletin Board & Quests

You'll be wanting to do these. Quests are very important in the courting dance,as completing them not only raises the Friend and Love Levels of the requester,but will also set you on the course to marry your chosen love interest. Somerewards for these quests are the Proposal Item for a Bachelorette, or,

Page 30: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

in thecase of the Love Candidates, the reward is a pretend marriage!

In fact, you have to complete ALL the quests of the love interest in order tomarry them. So, not only should you want to do quests, you NEED to do quests.There's ten quests each for the Bachelorettes, and five for the Love Candidates(the two exceptions are Leann, who only has two, and Sera & Serena, who havefour).

So check the Bulletin Board every day, to see if there's a new quest from yourlove interest. I'd be especially sure to check after a festival day - afteryou've raised the Friendship and Love Levels by participating in a festival orwinning a contest, there's a good chance that the Love Level will change andunlock the next quest.

By doing all of these things, I managed to get all the Bachelorettes' Friendand Love Levels up to ten by Summer 25, Year 1.

It was that exact same date twice (I've one file for Aria, and one for Aaron).And also, both times, it was Alicia and Rosalind whose Love Levels were last toreach 10 (one time was Alicia, the other time Rosalind).

*******************************************************************************5.2. Courting Bachelorettes [Court-Bachelorette]*******************************************************************************

In this section, I'll be giving you my personal opinion on how best to courteach Bachelorette. I'll be pulling information from my own experience, as well

Page 31: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

as things in that other people have done which I've read about on the RF2 Forumon www.GameSpot.com(And I think you can also access this forum from www.GameFAQs.com ?)

Alicia-------------------------------------------------------------------------------The best, and really only, way to court Alicia is to get your fortune toldevery day. Simply talking to her doesn't work - you have to get your fortunetold. So, in a sense, the getting-your-fortune-told replaces the talking rule.My suggestion is to get the next day's weather predicted. This only costs you10G, and you'll get a bonus in addition to raising her Love Level: a head's upif a storm's on the way! Then you'll know to ask her to change the weather; or,another way to get around a storm is sleeping outside in a dungeon in a FurSleeping Bag (which can be bought from Douglas). (Note for the Sleeping Bag -you have to destroy the Monster Portals in the area before you use it, and theMonster Portal will revive when you wake up in the morning.)

Gift-giving won't work. If you try to give her a Diamond or Strawberry (herliked items), she'll tell you herself that giving gifts won't help to get herto fall in love with you.

Don't miss giving her an Emerald Ring on Summer 28!

Alicia is one of the harder Bachelorettes to raise the Love Level of. So, ifyou're aiming for her to be your bride, you'll want to participate in romanticfestivals with her to get an extra boost. You'll also want to participate inall the contest festivals, too.

Always do quests. In fact, if it is Alicia that you want to marry, you

Page 32: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

have tocomplete her tenth quest: "Find Me a Crystal Ball?" to obtain her Proposal Item(the Crystal Ball).

Cecilia-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to Cecilia every day, and don't get so caught up in participating in thefestivals that you forget to talk to her on those days, too!

Gift-giving does work, but as Cecilia is the kind of girl who likes prettygems... her liked items may be hard to come by. So, if you happen to comeacross a gem while mining, save it to give her on a festival day. However, ifyou happen to mine on Blessia Island every day, using a charged Battle Hammer(bought at Tanya's), you'll find a lot of Rubies and Amethysts. It's kind ofsurprising - I think once I ended up having three Rubies and two Amethysts fromone day's mining. Emeralds are also semi-common in Trieste, but not as commonas the Rubies and Amethysts on Blessia.

Don't miss giving her an Aquamarine Brooch on Summer 12!

If you want to marry Cecilia as early as you can, participate in romanticfestivals with her to give an extra boost to her Love Level. Participate in allthe contest festivals as well.

(I'm going to keep saying this...) Always do quests. You'll have to completeall ten of her quests in order to marry her. In fact, you obtain her ProposalItem in her ninth quest: "Something Very Important to Me," and the reward uponcompletion of her tenth quest: "A Very Important Request," is to have her asyour wife. (And marrying Cecilia is the only way you can complete that quest,

Page 33: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

by the way.)

Dorothy-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to Dorothy every day, and don't get so caught up in participating in thefestivals that you forget to talk to her on those days, too!

Gift-giving does work. There's a couple of ways you can do this, and... I thinkboth are a bit troublesome, personally. Well, one's less troublesome than theother, but... anyways:~ One of Dorothy's liked items is the fish Char. You can fish Char at Blessia Island - Center (except in the upper-left near the statue, apparently? According to Lerion's FAQ/Walkthrough). Mind you, you'll also end up fishing a bunch of Masu Trout, too, but you can take a day and fish a bunch of Char to save for daily-giving. The only problem is that fish don't stack the way crops do - one fish takes up one space.~ The other of Dorothy's liked items is the Emery Flower. This one you can't find on your own in First Generation. You can buy the Seed and grow it, but one Emery Flower Seed is 54,000G, and one crop takes 120 days to grow. Not useful. However, there's a way you can get several Emery Flowers... but, well, I call it cheating, and don't do it myself. What you can do is "spam" Mana's first quest: "Please Deliver Something for Me." In that quest, Mana asks you to deliver an Emery Flower to Rosalind. So, instead of giving the Flower to Rosalind, you can give it to Dorothy, cancel the quest, accept it again the next day, and repeat. However, as completing Mana's first quest is a requirement to unlock all the other quests on the Bulletin Board, I suggest not doing this. But, it is possible to do.

Page 34: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Don't miss giving her a Strawberry Jam on Winter 2! (However, if you talk,gift-give, and participate in festivals, you'll have her at 10LP waaay beforeWinter 2. But don't let that stop you from giving her a present on her birthdayanyway!)

Again (I'm going to keep saying this, too...), if Dorothy's the one you'reaiming to marry, participate in romantic festivals with her to give an extraboost to her Love Level. Participate in all the contest festivals, too.

Do all of her quests. You'll have to complete all ten of them in order to marryher. Her tenth quest: "I...have something...to say", unlocks Gordan's lastquest: "I've Got Something for You," which upon completion you will receiveDorothy's Proposal Item.

Julia-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to Julia every day, and don't get so caught up in participating in thefestivals that you forget to talk to her on those days, too!

Gift-giving is the best way to go with Julia. It's really easy to get both ofher liked items: Carrot and Toyherb.~ Grow four Carrot crops in the first farm plot in Messhina Valley, save them, and give one to her every day when you're going around talking to everyone.~ Grow four Toyherb crops in either the first farm plot in Trieste Forest, or several crops on your farm during the Spring, save them, and again - give one to her every day when you're going around talking to everyone.By doing this, it was Julia's Love Level that I got to 10 first. (I think Iused mostly Toyherbs, though, and those take 12 days to grow as opposed to theCarrots' 9 days.)

Page 35: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Another way to raise Julia's Friendship and Love Levels is to take a bath inher Bathhouse every day. Mind you, you can only have one bath a day, and itcosts 100G.

Don't miss giving her a Seafood Pizza on Spring 16!

If Julia's the one you're aiming to marry, participate in romantic festivalswith her to give an extra boost to her Love Level. Participate in all thecontest festivals, too.

Do all her quests. You'll have to complete all of ten of them in order to marryher. In fact, you have to complete her ninth quest: "Bathhouse in Crisis! HelpMe!" in order to get the item you need to get her Proposal Item (i.e. thereward for the ninth quest is the Messhilight Ore, which you give to Yue, whowill turn it into a Memento Ring, which is Julia's Proposal Item).

Mana-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to Mana every day, and don't get so caught up in participating in thefestivals that you forget to talk to her on those days, too!

Of all the Bachelorettes, Mana's by far one of the easiest to raise her LoveLevel. Gift-giving will do the trick. Her only liked item is Pink Turnip, andthey only take four game-days to grow. Thus, grow a bunch of Pink Turnips,either on your farm in Spring or in Trieste Forest, save them, and give her oneevery day when you're making your round of talking to villagers.

Don't miss giving her a Roasted Yam on Summer 9!

If Mana's the one you're aiming to marry (I'll think you have no imagination or

Page 36: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

sense of adventure by marrying the game's chosen girl, but--), participate inthe romantic festivals with her to give an extra boost to her Love Level.Participate in all the contest festivals, too.

Do all her quests. You'll have to complete all ten of them in order to marryher. Completing her tenth quest: "A Very Important Conversation," unlocksDouglas' last quest, "I Challenge You!", which upon completion you will receiveMana's Proposal Item.

Rosalind-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rosalind is up there with Alicia in difficulty with raising her Love Level.Make sure you talk to her every day, and make triple-sure that you don't forgetto talk to her on festival days! Talking is one of the easier ways of raisingher Love Level.

Both of Rosalind's liked items (Sweetie Potato and 4-Leaf Clover) are hard tocome by in First Generation.~ You do, however, get a Sweetie Potato as the reward for Dorothy's second quest: "I Did It Again..." I suggest that you hang on to this Sweetie Potato and give it to Rosalind on a festival day.~ And yet, like with Dorothy, there is a way to get several 4-Leaf Clovers... by spamming. In Mana's second quest: "I Want a Four Leaf Clover," you go to Blessia Island - Center and get a 4-Leaf Clover for Mana. So, instead of giving the Clover to Mana, you can give it to Rosalind, cancel the quest, accept it again the next day, and repeat. However, again, I consider this cheating (and troublesome, too) and don't do this myself, and I strongly urge

Page 37: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

you not to spam either. But, this is possible to do, and I can do nothing to stop you should you wish to do it. My aim is to give you as much information as I can, not tell you what to do and which choices to make.

Don't miss giving her a Hot Milk on Fall 27! (But again, like Dorothy, if youtalk, and participate in festivals, you could have her at 10LP before Fall 27.But don't let that stop you from giving her a present on her birthday anyway!)

As Rosalind is one of the harder-to-raise-LP Bachelorettes, I'd put her at toppriority for participation in romantic festivals if you want her as your bride.Ask her first on the Flower Festival, and then ask her out to the DanceFestival. And participate in all the contest festivals as well.

Do all her quests. You'll have to complete all ten of them in order to marryher. After completing her tenth quest: "Private Message 3," Kyle will mentionsomething to the effect of, "It might be a good time to talk to Max when he'sin his room... he'll know what to do now." Completing the tenth quest unlocksthe ability for you to get her Proposal Item. HOWEVER - you've got to waituntil Rosalind's at 10LP before you approach Max about her Proposal Item.(HINT: grow Tomatoes on your farm during the Summer, and save 9 of them!)

Yue-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to Yue every day, and don't get so caught up in participating in thefestivals that you forget to talk to her on those days, too!

Gift-giving works with Yue, and her liked items (Aquamarine, Daikon Radish,Fried Udon) are fairly obtainable:

Page 38: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

~ Aquamarines pop up while mining in Trieste Forest. They're about as common as Emeralds, but I would still save them to give on a festival day.~ Daikon Radishes are easily obtainable. You can buy the Seeds from Douglas, grow them in Padova (they're a Winter crop, and take 14 game-days to grow), and give one of them to her every day. You can save some money on the first bag of Daikon Seed - you get one as a reward for Yue's first quest: "Nothing Comes Before Good Skin!"~ You can buy Fried Udon from Yue herself for 4280G, but I feel that it's a bit excessive that you're spending 4280G a day just to get a girl to like you. I'd stick with the Aquamarines and Radishes.

Don't miss giving her Cabbage Cakes on Spring 9!

If Yue's the one you're aiming to marry, participate in the romantic festivalswith her to give an extra boost to her Love Level. Participate in all thecontest festivals, too.

Do all her quests. You'll have to complete all ten of them in order to marryher. The reward for her tenth quest: "I Have Something to Tell You," is herProposal Item.

*******************************************************************************5.3. Rival Warning! [RivalWedding]*******************************************************************************

Look out, Kyle! You've got competition!

Some of the Bachelorettes have another man courting them. But don't you worry.If you play your cards right, you can have your lady-love fall for you wellbefore her default marriage date.

Page 39: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

If you play for long enough, you're able to actually see the default marriages.You can even confess to the lady during the ceremony - effectively stealing thebride! However, you can only steal the bride if you aren't already married, andthe bride's Love Level is 10. Understandably, the groom isn't going to be toohappy about being abandoned at the altar... his Friendship Level will drop.

Notes about these default marriages:~ You can't steal the bride with Alicia, Mana, or Yue, since they don't have a set-in-stone default marriage.~ On the day of the default marriage, when you wake up and go down to the first floor of your farmhouse, the groom will come in and announce that the wedding is that day. You will attend the wedding, and then regain control the next day. (Essentially, you lose a day of work.)~ You will still attend the default marriage even if you are married; you just won't be able to steal the bride.~ Once a default marriage has occurred, the new wife will stay within her new husband's house 24/7. (You can still go talk to her, though.) She will stay in her husband's house until you go to Second Generation.

If you end up not playing First Generation long enough to attend a defaultmarriage, these marriages will commence without you, and will occur during theseven-year time-skip when you're advancing to the Second Generation.

What the table headings mean:Bachelorette: name of the BacheloretteRival: name of the rivalDefault Marriage Date: (should be self-explanatory) the date of the default marriage

Page 40: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Bachelorette | Rival | Default Marriage Date------------------------------------------------ Alicia | - | - Cecilia......|.Jake....|.Summer 14, Year 2 Dorothy | Barrett | Fall 17, Year 3 Julia........|.Max.....|.Winter 11, Year 4 Mana | - | - Rosalind.....|.Ray.....|.Spring 10, Year 3 Yue | -* | -*

*NB - Yue is a special case.If you so happen to be married to a girl who has a rival at the time of thedefault marriage, Yue will become the bride. Thus:~ If you marry Cecilia, Yue will marry Jake on Summer 14, Year 2.~ If you marry Dorothy, Yue will marry Barrett on Fall 17, Year 3.~ If you marry Julia, Yue will marry Max on Winter 11, Year 4.~ If you marry Rosalind, Yue will marry Ray on Spring 10, Year 3.~ If you marry Mana or Alicia, Yue will not marry.And if you marry Yue, then she'll... marry you... obviously... on whicheverdate you propose to her.

*******************************************************************************5.4. Courting Love Candidates - The Ladies [Court-LoveCanF]*******************************************************************************

In this section, I'll be giving you my personal opinion on how best to courteach female Love Candidate. I'll be pulling information from my own experience,as well as things in that other people have done which I've read about on theRF2 Forum on www.GameSpot.com(And I think you can also access this forum from www.GameFAQs.com ?)

As an aside - I don't really have much personal experience with the gift-giving

Page 41: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

rule for the Love Candidates. I apologize. I was side-tracked by saving theworld. However, gift-giving generally works... thus, to make up for thisinformation deficiency, I shall tell you what the easiest-to-make/obtain likeditem is, and what to do in order to get it or make it.

For more information about liked item recipes and how to raise Cooking Skilland Pharmacy Skill Levels, please see HolyPlankton's Cooking & Pharmacy Guide.

Cammy-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to Cammy every day, and don't get so caught up in participating in thefestivals that you forget to talk to her on those days, too!

Sadly, I didn't do much (any) gift-giving with Cammy. However, the easiest-to-get liked item of Cammy's is Marmalade. All you need is an Orange, which can befound on squat palm-tree-looking-trees on Blessia Island. Marmalade is a PotRecipe, and is Cooking Skill Level 15. Spamming Marmalade is a good way toraise your Cooking Skill, and you can double up by using your results as adaily gift for Cammy!

Don't miss giving her a Hot Chocolate on Summer 15! You can buy Hot Chocolatefrom Yue, or make it yourself with all your love!

Since you can "marry" all of the Love Candidates with no hard feelings, you canchoose whether or not to give Cammy priority at romantic festivals. As a matterof fact, you can invite three love interests to the Flower Festival; and sincethere's only three Love Candidates, you can invite them all! The DanceFestival's a different matter... you've got to choose one for that. Butparticipate in all the contest festivals to raise her Love Level!

Do all of Cammy's quests: she's got five. The first two are available to bothAaron and Aria, but you must be playing as Aaron to access quests three throughfive. You have to complete the first four to get to the fifth quest: "Come andSee Me!", which is the "marriage" quest.

Leann-------------------------------------------------------------------------------In my personal opinion, Leann is the hardest-LP-to-raise of all the loveinterests. I got all the Bachelorettes to 10LP by Summer 25 of the first yearof playing (as Kyle). I'm now playing as Aaron, and it is Fall 11 of the firstyear (after the time-skip), I've talked to Leann every single day, participatedwith her in the romantic festivals, competed (and won) all the contests (upuntil then), and she's still only at Love Level 5!!! Then again, I myselfhaven't made much of an effort with gift-giving, and her birthday is the lastbirthday of the year among the villagers...

Make double-sure to talk to her every single day. Seeing a change in her LoveLevel just might take longer than you would like it to. And make QUADRUPLE-sure that you don't forget to talk to her on festival days (I'd talk to her twice,perhaps).

I've made a small effort to give Leann gifts, and it seems to work nicely. Mindyou, I was at Love Level 5 for her for a while, and then gave her one CheeseFondue, and she went to Love Level 6. So, I'm thinking to say that gift-givingwould help you raising Leann's Love Level. I chose Cheese Fondue because Ithink it's the easiest of her liked items to make. You first need Bread - a NoUtensil Recipe, Cooking Skill Level 6 - and you only need Flour to

Page 43: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

make it(which you can buy from Douglas).Then, to make the Cheese Fondue, you need Bread and Cheese - if you don't havethat high a Cooking Skill, start with making Small Milk into Small Cheese withthe Cheese Maker. Use the Small Cheese with the Bread to make Cheese Fondue inthe Pot (the Small Cheese Cheese Fondue is Cooking Skill Level 27).If you are at Cooking Skill Level 27, you can spam Cheese Fondue to raise yourCooking Skill (buying Flour and Small Milk from Douglas), and use the resultsas daily gifts for Leann!

Don't miss giving her a Sapphire Ring on Winter 27!

Since you can "marry" all of the Love Candidates with no hard feelings, I wouldmake Leann top priority at romantic festivals, as she's the hardest Love Levelto raise. And participate in all the contest festivals, too!

Do all of Leann's quests: she's only got two. The first is available to bothAaron and Aria, but you must be playing as Aaron to access the second one. Thusthe second quest: "Some Casual Conversation," is the "marriage" quest. It mayjust be the last quest you unlock...

Sera & Serena-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to Sera & Serena every day, and don't get so caught up in participating inthe festivals that you forget to talk to her on those days, too!

Sadly, I didn't do much (any) gift-giving with Sera & Serena. However, theylike Tomato Juice, which is really easy to make. It's a Mixer Recipe, onlyCooking Skill Level 11, and only requires a Tomato. You can easily spam TomatoJuices to raise your Cooking Skill, and use your results as daily gifts to

Page 44: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Sera& Serena!

Don't miss giving them Marmalade on Fall 29! You either have to make theMarmalade yourself, or you can save the one they give you as a reward forcompleting their first quest: "Let's Play Hide-and-Seek!"

Since you can "marry" all of the Love Candidates with no hard feelings, you canchoose whether or not to give Sera & Serena priority at romantic festivals. Asa matter of fact, you can invite three love interests to the Flower Festival;and since there's only three Love Candidates, you can invite them all! TheDance Festival's a different matter... you've got to choose one for that. Andif you, as Aaron, choose Sera & Serena, you get to dance with them both!Participate in all the contest festivals to raise their Love Levels!

Do all of Sera & Serena's quests: they've got four. And since they're justweird like that, both Aaron and Aria can access all four of the quests and havea pretend marriage with them. You must complete their first three quests inorder to get to their "marriage" quest, the fourth one: "Something a LittleMore Grown Up."

*******************************************************************************5.5. Courting Love Candidates - The Gentlemen [Court-LoveCanM]*******************************************************************************

In this section, I'll be giving you my personal opinion on how best to courteach male Love Candidate. I'll be pulling information from my own experience,

Page 45: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

as well as things in that other people have done which I've read about on theRF2 Forum on www.GameSpot.com(And I think you can also access this forum from www.GameFAQs.com ?)

As an aside - I don't really have much personal experience with the gift-givingrule for the Love Candidates. I apologize. I was side-tracked by saving theworld. However, gift-giving generally works... thus, to make up for thisinformation deficiency, I shall tell you what the easiest-to-make/obtain likeditem is, and what to do in order to get it or make it.

For more information about liked item recipes and how to raise Cooking Skilland Pharmacy Skill Levels, please see HolyPlankton's Cooking & Pharmacy Guide.

Leonel-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to Leonel every day, and don't get so caught up in participating in thefestivals that you forget to talk to him on those days, too!

Sadly, I didn't do much (any) gift-giving with Leonel. Of his liked items, thePancake is the easiest to make, I believe. It's a Frying Pan Recipe, but itrequires Cooking Skill Level 23. You'll need:~ Flour (bought from Douglas)~ Honey (harvested from Hornet or Queen Bee)~ Small Milk (harvested from Buffamoo or bought from Douglas)~ Small Egg (harvest from Cluckadoodle or bought from Douglas)~ Sweet Powder; it's actually a Pharmacy Recipe, and is really easy to make - you only need two Apples (easily found on trees in Trieste Forest), and a Pharmacy Skill Level 10.The Honey is the most troublesome to get, and the rest can easily be boughtfrom Douglas (excepting the Sweet Powder, of course). Even though Pancakes are

Page 46: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

the easiest of Leonel's liked items to make, I would still save them to give ona festival day.

Don't miss giving him a Mixed Juice on Summer 3! Sadly, you can't buy it fromYue... you'll have to make it yourself with all your love!

Since you can "marry" all of the Love Candidates with no hard feelings, you canchoose whether or not to give Leonel priority at romantic festivals. As amatter of fact, you can invite three love interests to the Flower Festival; andsince there's only three Love Candidates, you can invite them all! The DanceFestival's a different matter... you've got to choose one for that. Butparticipate in all the contest festivals to raise his Love Level!

Do all of Leonel's quests: he has five. The first two quests are available toAaron and Aria, and the other three can only be accessed by Aria. As Aria, youhave to complete the first four in order to get to the fifth quest: "There'sSomething I Want to Say," which is the "marriage" quest.

Orland-------------------------------------------------------------------------------I'd make sure to talk to Orland every day. It seems important to me, seeing ashow he's kind of like how his father was in First Generation, by being slightlyintroverted. So make doubly-sure that you don't forget to talk to Orland onfestival days.

Sadly, I didn't do much (any) gift-giving with Orland. However, his liked itemsare relatively easy to make. ... The catch is that you have to catch the fish(ha ha), and you need a high Cooking Skill Level:~ Taimen Sashimi - it's a Knife Recipe, you need Cooking Skill Level 31, and a

Page 47: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Taimen. You can catch Taimen in Messhina Valley - Cave - Altar and Padova Mts. - Flowing River, Freezing Cave, Rushing Waterfall, Tomb, and Shrine.~ Fried Mackeral - it's a Frying Pan Recipe, you need Cooking Skill Level 29, and a Mackeral. You can catch Mackeral only in De Sainte-Coquille Park during the Fall.

Don't miss giving him a Sunsquid Sashimi on Winter 5! Sadly, you can't by itfrom Yue... you'll have to make it yourself with all your love!

Since you can "marry" all of the Love Candidates with no hard feelings, you canchoose whether or not to give Orland priority at romantic festivals. However, Ifeel that out of all the male Love Candidates, Orland's Love Level is thehardest to raise, so I'd make him a priority at romantic festivals. Although,since you can invite three love interests to the Flower Festival, thatshouldn't really matter, as you can invite them all. I'd choose him for theDance Festival, though. But participate in all the contest festivals to raisehis Love Level!

Do all of Orland's quests: he has five. The first two quests are available toAaron and Aria, and the other three can only be accessed by Aria. As Aria, youhave to complete the first four in order to get to the fifth quest: "Just ComeOver, Please," which is the "marriage" quest.

Roy-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Talk to Roy every day, and don't get so caught up in participating in thefestivals that you forget to talk to him on those days, too!

Sadly, I didn't do much (any) gift-giving with Roy. However, two of his

Page 48: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

likeditems are easy to get:~ Giant's Gloves are a Monster Drop from a Hammer Troll, which are found on Blessia Island at Day. They are also a Monster Drop from a Gigantus, found in Palermo Shrine.~ Steamed Gyoza - it's a Steamer Recipe, you need Cooking Skill Level 24, and the ingredients are: Oil, Onion, and a Cabbage. The Onion and Cabbage can be grown, and the Oil bought from Douglas.

Don't miss giving him French Fries on Winter 25! You can buy them from Yue, ormake some yourself with all your love!

Since you can "marry" all of the Love Candidates with no hard feelings, you canchoose whether or not to give Roy priority at romantic festivals. As a matterof fact, you can invite three love interests to the Flower Festival; and sincethere's only three Love Candidates, you can invite them all! The DanceFestival's a different matter... you've got to choose one for that. Butparticipate in all the contest festivals to raise his Love Level!

Do all of Roy's quests: he has five. The first two quests are available toAaron and Aria, and the other three can only be accessed by Aria. As Aria, youhave to complete the first four in order to get to the fifth quest: "Come to MyHouse," which is the "marriage" quest.

###############################################################################8. Festivals [Festivals]###############################################################################

Festivals usually occur on some (but not all) Holidays of each Season. There'sfun, festive music playing wherever you're walking in Alvarna, as well asconfetti falling from the sky during most festivals. The Alvarna villagers havea set place they stand during a festival, and there'll be a few exceptionsdepending on what festival it is.

Page 54: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

For information of where each villager is located during a festival, please seeLerion's FAQ/Walkthrough, section 7.8. Festivals (tag Festivals).

An interesting fact that Lerion has mentioned, and I have confirmed, is that itnever rains or storms on a festival Holiday. It's always sunny; and payingAlicia to make it rain won't work either. The game is determined to celebratethe festivals.

*******************************************************************************8.1. Chronological Festival List [Festival-ChronList]*******************************************************************************

*******************************************************************************8.2. What Festivals Do to Raise Friend & Love Levels [Festival-Purpose]*******************************************************************************

Festivals are a great way to raise the Love Levels of Bachelorettes and LoveCandidates, as well as the Friendship Levels of all the villagers. While it'sgood idea to talk to each villager every day, it's an even better idea to talkto each villager on a festival day. Why? Talking on a regular day raisesFriendship and Love Levels, but talking on a festival day raises the Friendshipand Love Levels a little bit more.

The same goes for giving gifts! Giving a gift on a regular day does raiseFriendship and Love Levels, but you get an extra boost on festival days! So, ifyou're low on the amount of gifts you have to give, save them for a festivalday.

Not only does talking and gift-giving help, but participating in that day'sfestival also boosts the Friendship and Love Levels of the villagers.Participation in a festival could either be winning a contest, proving howwonderfully talented you are, or going on a date with your lady love (or yourtotally hot beau if you're playing as Aria).

Page 56: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

I've separated the festivals into three different categories, based on what youdo in each festival. There's "Romantic" festivals, "Contests," and "SpecialEvent" festivals:

~ Romantic festivals are specially targeted to participation with a Bachelorette or Love Candidate.

~ Contests... hmm... should be self-explanatory. You compete in some kind of contest. (Just a hint - contest festivals usually have the word "contest" in their name.)

~ During Special Event festivals, nothing really exciting happens. The villagers just stand around, comment on the day, and get to listen to festive music.

Then, obviously, each festival will be different in Second Generation than itwas in First Generation.

What kind of differences?

Since you're playing as either Aaron or Aria, who you can take out in romanticfestivals will change, as well as the participants of the contests. Havingadults face-off a child is a bit unfair, don't you think? (Not that you can'tbeat them, though...)

*******************************************************************************8.3. Romantic Festivals [Festival-Romantic]*******************************************************************************

Page 57: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

The following are festivals that I have categorized as "romantic." In thissection, you will find a description of the festival, and what it's like inboth First and Second Generation.

Romantic festivals are specially targeted to participation with a Bacheloretteor Love Candidate. If you participate in a Romantic festival, you get to go ona kind of date with your favorite lady or beau, and your date's Friendship andLove Levels will increase.

I shall explain, by example, how each section is organized:

==============================X.X.X. Festival Name [Tag]==============================

Date of festival

Description of the festival.

First Generation------------------------------What happens during the festival in First Generation.

Second Generation------------------------------What happens during the festival in Second Generation.

===============================================================================8.3.1. Flower Festival [RF-Flower]===============================================================================

Spring 13

The cherry blossoms are all in bloom! It's a great time to sit under the cherrytrees and admire the flowers. It would be even better if you invited a loveinterest to view the blossoms with you, as a romantic date!

Page 58: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

First Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, enjoying the cherry blossoms.When you talk to them, some comment how pretty the flowers are; others (namelyJake) say that the festival is just an excuse to drink.

You can invite up to three Bachelorettes to view the blossoms, and they willmake a comment about how beautiful the blossoms are, and tell you somethingabout their life.

Only the first three you invite will accept your invitation, and only thosethree will have their Love Levels increased. Once you've made your invitation,go to Cherry Blossom Square and your date will start.

If you try to invite the other girls, they'll complain about how you've alreadygone with someone else, and their Love Points will decrease.

Second Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, enjoying the cherry blossoms.When you talk to them, some comment how pretty the flowers are; others (namelyJake) say that the festival is just an excuse to drink.

You can invite up to three Love Candidates to view the blossoms, and they willmake a comment about how beautiful the blossoms are, and tell you somethingabout their life.

Once you've invited a Love Candidate, walk to Alvarna Academy and your datewill start. Unlike First Generation, no one will feel left out - since

Page 59: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

thereare only three Love Candidates for both Aaron and Aria, you can invite themall!

===============================================================================8.3.2. Dance Festival [RF-Dance]===============================================================================

Summer 19

This festival is a wonderful opportunity to ask your lady love (or totally hotbeau) out to a dance, and prove to her (or him) and everyone else that you arenot only a great farmer and adventurer, but also a spectacular dancer (I hearthat practicing swordsmanship and the footwork involved can make you a betternatural dancer). This festival also provides beautiful music for when thedancing begins!

First Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, enjoying the prospect of thedance. All of the Bachelorettes are eagerly awaiting for the time when you askthem to dance.

Minimum requirements for this festival:~ Bachelorette must be at Love Level 4 or above

You can only ask one Bachelorette to dance, and once you ask her, you'llimmediately be transported to De Sainte-Coquille Park and commence with yourdance.

On this day, you're able to shooting stars more clearly than in any other partof the year; making this night sky the most beautiful night of the year. Aseveryone knows, if you wish upon a shooting star, your wish will come true - sodon't miss this chance to have a wish of yours granted!

*******************************************************************************8.4. Contests [Festival-Contest]*******************************************************************************

The following are festivals that I have categorized as "contests." In thissection, you will find a description of the festival, and what it's like inboth First and Second Generation.

Page 62: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Contests... hmm... should be self-explanatory. If you participate in a Contest,and win, everyone's Friendship Levels increase, as well as the Love Levels ofBachelorettes and Love Candidates. And they're also fun to do. ^.^

I shall explain, by example, how each section is organized:

==============================X.X.X. Festival Name [Tag]==============================

=====================================8.4.1. Eating Contest [CF-Eating]===============================================================================

Spring 25

As one of the most primitive instincts of human nature, this festival is acontest of who can east the most in a set period of time. Herman has lookedforward to this day, so he can show everyone his amazing abilities and do aperfect judgement of the contest.

First Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing against Douglas and Gordan for the title "Masterof Speed Eating."

Talk to Herman to start the contest - he'll be in De Sainte-Coquille Park until5:30pm. After some razzing from Douglas and Gordan, Herman will explain therules of the contest.

When Herman says "STAAAART!", you're to press the A Button as fast as you canto take bites until he says "Stop!" You need at least 35 bites to win thecontest.

In my opinion, the best way to do this is to hold your thumbnail and pointer-fingernail together, and slide them across the A Button as fast as you can.(Please note that I myself did not think to do this; I remember reading itsomewhere, but I cannot remember where!)

The prizes are:

Page 64: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

~ Grand Prize (1st Place) - title "Master of Speed Eating" and a Formula A~ Honorable Mention (2nd Place) - Fried Veggies~ Consolation Prize (3rd Place) - a Cucumber

Second Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing against Sera & Serena and Ray for the title of"Master of Speed Eating."

Talk to Herman to start the contest - he'll be in De Sainte-Coquille Park until5:30pm. After some razzing from Sera & Serena and Ray, Herman will explain therules of the contest.

===============================================================================8.4.2. Monster Taming Contest [CF-MonsterTame]

Page 65: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

===============================================================================

Summer 7

The purpose of this contest is to strengthen the ties between humans andMonsters. With bravery and a kind heart, show the villagers your skill as anEarthmate by taming Monsters.

First Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing against Max and Jake for the title of "MonsterMaster."

Talk to Herman to start the contest - he'll be in De Sainte-Coquille Park until5:30pm. After some razzing from Max and Jake, Herman will explain the rules ofthe contest.

Minimum requirements for this contest:~ Pet Glove~ Barn~ 1 empty slot in Barn

To get the Pet Glove, you must complete Cecilia's first quest: "Please FindSomething."

To build your Barn, talk to Byron when he's on the first floor of his house(he's usually there during the day, Monday thru Friday). You'll need 5000G and50 Wood to build the Barn.

The objective of this competition is to see how fast you can befriend aspecific Monster - which Herman will announce each year where you

Page 66: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

need to go tobefriend which Monster.

It has been seen that there could be a potential glitch in your game. Your gameshould just count how many in-game minutes it takes to catch the Monster.However, if your game happens to have this glitch, you need to catch theMonster before the hour counter of the in-game clock changes. For example, ifyou talk to Herman at 7:XX (the XX can be between 00 and 59, inclusive), youmust catch the Monster before it turns 8:00. Thus, I advise you to start thecontest (i.e. talk to Herman) in the first few minutes of an in-game hour (e.g.10:02).

From the several times I've done the Monster Taming Contest, it's usuallytaming a PommePomme (apple Monster) in Trieste Forest - Spring Clearing.However, it may be a different Monster in a different place for you. I'vemanaged to tame a PommePomme in less than 10 in-game minutes, so I don'tthink it should be too difficult to win.

The prizes are:~ Grand Prize (1st Place) - title of "Monster Master" and a Formula B~ Honorable Mention (2nd Place) - an Apple Pie~ Consolation Prize (3rd Place) - a Tomato

Second Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing against Leonel and Orland for the title of"Monster Master."

Talk to Herman to start the contest - he'll be in De Sainte-Coquille Park until

Page 67: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

5:30pm. After some razzing from Leonel and Orland, Herman will explain therules of the contest.

Minimum requirements for this contest:~ Pet Glove~ Barn~ 1 empty slot in Barn

Hopefully, you already have the Pet Glove from First Generation. If youdon't... I don't know what you can do.

You could have built your Barn in First Generation, but if you didn't, you canstill build one in Second Generation. Talk to Byron when he's on the firstfloor of his house (he's usually there during the day, Monday thru Friday).You'll need 5000G and 50 Wood to build the Barn.

The objective of this competition is to see how fast you can befriend aspecific Monster - which Herman will announce each year where you need to go tobefriend which Monster.

It has been seen that there could be a potential glitch in your game. Your gameshould just count how many in-game minutes it takes to catch the Monster.However, if your game happens to have this glitch, you need to catch theMonster before the hour counter of the in-game clock changes. For example, ifyou talk to Herman at 7:XX (the XX can be between 00 and 59, inclusive), youmust catch the Monster before it turns 8:00. Thus, I advise you to start thecontest (i.e. talk to Herman) in the first few minutes of an in-game hour (e.g.10:02).

From the several times I've done the Monster Taming Contest, it's usually

taming a PommePomme (apple Monster) in Trieste Forest - Spring Clearing.However, it may be a different Monster in a different place for you. I'vemanaged to tame a PommePomme in less than 10 in-game minutes, so I don'tthink it should be too difficult to win.

The prizes are:~ Grand Prize (1st Place) - title of "Monster Master," a Levelizer, and a Monster Costume (a Wooly for Aaron and a Chipsqueek for Aria)~ Honorable Mention (2nd Place) - a Union Stew~ Consolation Prize (3rd Place) - an Eggplant

NB - You'll be able to find your Monster Costume on the second floor of yourfarmhouse, in the armoire in the far left corner of the floor. It'll be inDrawer 2.

To get the Pole, you must complete Barrett's first quest: "I'm Looking forSomething."

The objective of this contest is to catch the biggest fish - Herman willannounce each year which kind of fish you need to catch.

From my own experience, this fish will most likely be a Sardine. In order towin, you must catch a Sardine that is at least 18cm long (Level 5).

You can catch Sardines in:~ Blessia Island - Summer Isle Port~ Alvarna - East End, West End, Port

The prizes are:~ Grand Prize (1st Place) - title of "Fabulous Fisherman" and a Formula C~ Honorable Mention (2nd Place) - a Shrimp~ Consolation Prize (3rd Place) - ? (if anyone knows what this is, please don't hesitate to contact me!)

Page 70: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Summer 25

As food is Herman's favorite thing, he's really been looking forward to the BigCook-Off. Oh, the foods you can eat! This contest is a time for you to show thepeople of Alvarna what an amazing cook you are!

Second Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing against Sera & Serena and Leann for the title of"Master of Taste."

Talk to Herman to start the contest - he'll be in De Sainte-Coquille Park until5:30pm. After some razzing from Sera & Serena and Leann, Herman will explainthe rules of the contest.

Minimum requirements for this contest:~ Oven

To get an Oven... you have to do a lot of things. You'll have to have to builtthe Workshop extension for the school (talk to Byron - it's 10,000G and 1,000Wood), bought the Large Kitchen from Yue (sold as "Yue's Bargain" on Mondayonly for 5000G), and only then can you buy the Oven from Yue (sold as "Yue'sBargain" on Friday only - it's under "Large Kitchen Utensils" and is 5000G).

The objective of this contest is to cook the best food dish - which Herman willannounce each year.

From my experience, the dish will probably be a Seafood Pizza. In

Page 71: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

order to win,you'll have to make it yourself - buying from Yue won't be enough. The SeafoodPizza you turn in to Herman has to be at least Level 5 for you to get firstplace. (The Seafood Pizza you buy from Yue is only Level 1.)

To make a Seafood Pizza that's at least Level 5:~ Cooking Skill Level 43-49 (depending on size of Cheeze)~ Ingredients: Ketchup, Cheese, Flour, Shrimp, Squid~ The ingredients' levels must average to at least 5 (and if you come up with a decimal, you always round down) for you to get an at least Level 5 Seafood Pizza

What's "average" mean? Do this math:Step 1. Level of Ketchup + Level of Cheese + Level of Flour + Level of Shrimp + Level of SquidStep 2. Take the number you get in Step 1, and divide it by 5

For example, if the number you get in Step 2 is a "6.2" ... the Seafood Pizzawill be a Level 6 Seafood Pizza. If the number you get in Step 2 is "8.9" theSeafood Pizza will be a Level 8 Seafood Pizza.

The prizes are:~ Grand Prize (1st Place) - title of "Master of Taste" and a Big Knife~ Honorable Mention (2nd Place) - a Fur Sleeping Bag~ Consolation Prize (3rd Place) - a Potato

===============================================================================8.4.5. Adventure Contest [CF-Adventure]===============================================================================

Fall 1

Every man craves adventure, and here's a chance to satiate that craving! And to

Page 72: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

have some fun while you're at it. ^.^

First Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing against Jake and Tanya for the title of"Adventurer King."

Talk to Herman to start the contest - he'll be in De Sainte-Coquille Park until5:30pm. After some razzing from Jake and Tanya, Herman will explain the rulesof the contest.

The objective of this contest is to determine who is the fastest at finding aspecific item inside a dungeon.

From my experience, this contest is to find an Amethyst in Blessia Island. Ohdear.

In order to win, you have to find the Amethyst before the hour counter changesthree times after you started this contest. For example, if you started thecontest at 9:XX AM (the XX can be between 00 and 59, inclusive), you have tofind the item before the time turns to 12:00 PM (11:59 AM is still a win). Thetimer stops as soon as you find the Amethyst, so you don't have to rush to getback, but make sure you get back before Herman leaves at 5:30 PM.

What you must do:Go to Blessia Island - Altar/Old Ship... and don't make the mistake I do - thisis NOT the area that is ON the ship. The Blessia Island - Altar/Old Ship areais the place BEFORE the ship: the second-to-last farthest place you can go inBlessia Island. For a map of the Island, please refer to Lerion's FAQ/

Page 73: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Walkthrough, section 9.2. Blessia Island - First Generation (tag Blessia1).

Once there, go to the eastern-most part of the area, just below the two runeflowers, and walk near the cliff. The Amethyst isn't visible - you simply haveto walk/run around that area, and once you've walked over the correct spot,you'll get a little text blurb that says something to the effect of: "I foundthe AMETHYST!"

In this contest, it's either a win or a lose. No 2nd or 3rd Place, just thewinner and the losers.

NB - Also, you cannot give Herman an Amethyst from your pocket. It doesn't worklike that, you silly.

The prizes are:~ Winner (1st Place) - title of "Adventure King" and a Greenifier~ Losers - a Yam Seed

Second Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing against Leonel and Orland for the title of "LittleAdventurer."

Page 74: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

From my experience, this contest is to find a Platinum in Padova Mts. Oh dear.

In order to win, you have to find the Platinum before the hour counter changesthree times after you started this contest. For example, if you started thecontest at 9:XX AM (the XX can be between 00 and 59, inclusive), you have tofind the item before the time turns to 12:00 PM (11:59 is still a win). Thetimer stops as soon as you find the Platinum, so you don't have to rush to getback, but make sure you get back before Herman leaves at 5:30 PM.

What you must do:Go to Padova Mts. - Unfrozen Lake. For a map of the Mountains, please refer toLerion's FAQ/Walkthrough, section 10.4. Padova Mts. - Second Generation (tagPadova2).

Once there, go to the northwest part of the area, next to the Monster Portal,and walk to the right. The Platinum isn't visible - you simply have to walk/runaround that area, and once you've walked over the correct spot, you'll get alittle text blurb that says something to the effect of: "I found the PLATINUM!"

In this contest, it's either a win or a lose. No 2nd or 3rd place, just thewinner and the losers.

===============================================================================8.4.6. Monster Contest [CF-MonsterContest]===============================================================================

Fall 25

You've already proven that you're an expert at taming Monsters, but how aboutraising them? Today's the day to show that you can improve your ties withMonsters by taking care of them and training them to be big, strong, and human-friendly. Bring your most prized Monster to show the villagers!

First Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing for the title of "Monster Master."(I'd think this would be different from the Monster Taming Contest... anyoneconfirm/deny this?)

Talk to Herman to start the contest - he'll be in De Sainte-Coquille Park until5:30pm - and listen as he explains the rules of the contest.

Minimum requirements for this contest:~ A Monster

The objective of this contest is to have the strongest Monster.

To win, your Monster has to have a strength of 45 or more (175 HP or more*).For Honorable Mention, the strength has to be between 41 and 43 (155-175 HP*);and for the Participation Prize, the monster's strength has to be 39 or less(less than 155 HP*).

Page 76: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

How can you tell your Monster's strength?After talking to Herman, go to your Barn, and ask your Monster to come with you(i.e. join your party). Once you and your Monster are outside of your Barn,talk to it to find out what its strength is.

Once you've learned the Monster's strength, you'll be asked whether or not youwant to have that Monster in the Monster Contest. If you decide to not havethat Monster enter the contest, you repeat the process until you find a Monsterwhose strength satisfies you.

My suggestion to you: catch a Silver Wolf as early in the game as you can,raise it so its Friendship Level is 10, and enter it in the contest. You'lldefinitely win.

The prizes are:~ Highest Honors (1st Place) - title of "Monster Master" (?) and a Health It~ Honorable Mention (2nd Place) - an Omelet~ Participation Prize (3rd Place) - Spinach

*NB - these HP values were tested by Lerion and Winchu, and were only testedfor a Silver Wolf and a Wooly.

Also, Lerion and Winchu have observed that there might be a potential glitch inyour game. Herman will say that the reward is a Health It, but you mightrandomly end up with something else. Also, the game might randomly give you 2ndPlace or 3rd Place if your Monster's strength is below 45, overruling the 41-43and the below 39 explained above.

My suggestion to you: remember the Silver Wolf you caught in First Generation?

Page 78: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

He'll win you this generation's Monster Contest, too.

The prizes are:~ Highest Honors (1st Place) - title of "Monster Master" and a Mental Supplement~ Honorable Mention (2nd Place) - ? possibly a Mental Supplement?~ Participation Prize (3rd Place) - ? possibly a Mental Supplement?

I tried with my Hunter Wolf (at 10FP), and its strength was 98... and lost? Butit didn't tell me if I got the "Honorable Mention" or the "ParticipationPrize." I just didn't get the "Highest Honors." But I did receive a MentalSupplement. (Although silly me didn't check that it was actually a MentalSupplement...)

(If you know what the 2nd and 3rd Place prizes are, please don't hesitate tocontact me!)

Winter 19

Page 79: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

This is the last contest of the year - the Mining Contest! Impress thevillagers with your incredible mining skills!

First Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing against Roy and Yue for the title of "MiningKing."

Talk to Herman to start the contest - he'll be in De Sainte-Coquille Park until5:30pm. After some razzing from Roy and Yue, Herman will explain the rules ofthe contest.

Minimum requirements for this contest:~ Hammer

To get the Hammer, you must complete Gordon's first quest: "Please Get Me anAmethyst."

The objective of this contest is to see how quickly you can go into a dungeonand mine a specific ore or gem.

This will probably be to find a Ruby on Blessia Island. (I'm taking Lerion'sword for it, since I've never gotten to this contest before!)

You have to find the Ruby before the hour counter changes three times after youstarted this contest. For example, if you started the contest at 9:XX AM (theXX can be between 00 and 59, inclusive), you have to find the Ruby before thetime turns to 12:00 PM (11:59 AM is still a win).

There's actually two ways to win this contest:

Page 80: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

~ If you already have a Ruby at hand, just give it to him.~ If you don't have a Ruby at hand, you're going to have to mine one.

Finding a Ruby on Blessia Island shouldn't be too hard. They can be relativelycommon. There's 2 mining stones in Blessia Island - South Beach, and 7 inBlessia Island - Center. Just go there and start bashing rocks; but I wouldmake sure that you charge your Hammer first. Or you could use a Battle Hammerinstead... I've heard that you'll be more likely to mine uncommon ores/gems ifyou use a Battle Hammer.

The prizes are:~ Grand Prize (1st Place) - title of "Mining King" and an Invinciroid~ Honorable Mention (2nd Place) - a Cabbage~ Consolation Prize (3rd Place) - ?

(If you know what the 3rd Place prize is, please don't hesitate to contact me!)

Second Generation-------------------------------------------------------------------------------All the villagers are standing around the town, eagerly anticipating thecontest. You'll be competing against Leonel and Orland for the title of "LittleMiner."

Talk to Herman to start the contest - he'll be in De Sainte-Coquille Park until5:30pm. After some razzing from Leonel and Orland, Herman will explain therules of the contest.

Minimum requirements for this contest:~ Hammer

Hopefully, you already have the Hammer from First Generation. If you don't... I

Page 81: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

don't know what you can do.

The objective of this contest is to see how quickly you can go into a dungeonand mine a specific ore or gem.

This will probably be to find a Diamond in any of the dungeons. (I'm takingLerion's word for it, since I've never gotten to this contest before!)

You have to find the Diamond before the hour counter changes three times afteryou started the contest. For example, if you started the contest at 9:XX AM(the XX can be between 00 and 59, inclusive), you have to find the Diamondbefore the time turns to 12:00 PM (11:59 is still a win).

There's actually two ways to win this contest:~ If you already have a Diamond at hand, just give it to him.~ If you don't have a Diamond at hand, you're going to have to mine one.

To find a Diamond in a dungeon is pretty hard. They're pretty rare. I suggestthat you should try and find one before this contest, and then give it to himright after you talk to him to start the contest.

You should be able to find Diamonds in either Padova Mts. or Messhina Valley.Just try those dungeons and start bashing rocks; but I would make sure tocharge your Hammer first. You'll be more likely to find rare ores/gems thatway.

The prizes are:~ Grand Prize (1st Place) - title of "Little Miner" and a Vital Gummi~ Honorable Mention (2nd Place) - a Pink Turnip~ Consolation Prize (3rd Place) - a Daikon Radish

The following are festivals that I have categorized as "special events." Inthis section, you will find a description of the festival, and what it's likein both First and Second Generation.

As for Special Event festivals, nothing really exciting happens. You can't goon dates, and you can't win any contests. No fun stuff for you to do. But thatdoesn't give you cause to shun them. You still get an extra boost for talkingto the villagers on Special Event festivals.

I shall explain, by example, how each section is organized:

###############################################################################9. Bulletin Board & Quests [Quests]###############################################################################

*******************************************************************************9.1. Why Should I Do Quests? [WhyQuests]*******************************************************************************

(Forgive me as I paraphrase what I had written in the section 5.1. GeneralRules of Courting (tag Court-GenRule). ... I had just realized that I hadalready answered the question of "why should I do quests?" quite accuratelythere. So feel free to skip reading this description. HOWEVER - the notes aboutthe quests are new, so you might want read those.)

Quests are very important in the dating game, as completing them not onlyraises the Friend and Love Levels of the requester, but will also set you onthe course to marry your chosen love interest. Some rewards for these questsare the Proposal Item for a Bachelorette, or, in the case of the LoveCandidates, the reward is a pretend marriage!

In fact, you have to complete ALL the quests of the love interest in order tomarry them. There's ten quests each for the Bachelorettes, and five for theLove Candidates (the two exceptions are Leann, who only has two, and Sera &Serena, who have four).

So check the Bulletin Board every day, to see if there's a new quest

Page 87: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

from yourlove interest. I'd be especially sure to check after a festival day - afteryou've raised the Friendship and Love Levels by participating in a festival orwinning a contest, there's a good chance that the Love Level will change andunlock the next quest.

Notes about these quests:~ If you end up marrying a Bachelorette, and you haven't completed all the other quests of the other Bachelorettes, those quests will disappear from the Bulletin Board and you will never be able to do them. The reason: the point of doing the Bachelorettes' quests is that, upon completing all ten of them, you'll be able to marry that Bachelorette. Once you get married, there's no point anymore to complete the other Bachelorettes' quests, because you can't marry them. Thus, if you want to complete all the Bachelorettes' quests, wait to get married until you finish them all (the only exception is Cecilia - in order to wholly complete ALL of the Bachelorettes' quests, you have to marry Cecilia).~ Since you can't marry in Second Generation, you can "marry" as many Love Candidates as you want (only one time each, though - why would you need to go through a "marriage" with someone twice?). These "marriages" occur once you complete the Love Candidate's final quest (so there's no Proposal Items like with the Bachelorettes), and none of the villagers give you well-wishes (because you two are SEVEN YEARS OLD and it's not an actual marriage).

*******9.2. Bachelorette Quests [BacheloretteQuests]*******************************************************************************

These are the quests from the Bulletin Board for the Bachelorettes: Alicia,Cecilia, Dorothy, Julia, Mana, Rosalind, and Yue.

Whenever you complete a quest, you get some kind of reward (which can either bematerial or simply amusement). Completing a quest also raises the Friendshipand Love Level of the requester.

I shall explain, by example, how each section is organized:

==============================X.X.X. Character Name [Tag]==============================

How to Complete:What you need to do in order to complete this quest. May also include plotinformation about this quest, as well as other various information (e.g. ifthere's an item you need to get, there will be information as to where to findthat item).

Speak to Mana. She's got this overwhelming craving for Salmon. Could you getone for her?

You'll be needing a Pole, which you can get from completing Barrett's firstquest: "I'm Looking for Something."

To get the Salmon, go to Messhina Valley - Path to Mountain... and find thatMana's followed you. Tell her to go back, because it's too dangerous for ayoung lady to be in Monster-infested areas, then start fishing.I usually go to Serene Garden, actually; and stand on the mini-peninsula by thetree and boulder. I can usually catch a Salmon there. There's only a Buffamoothere, and it won't attack you unless you attack it first. Or, stay near thebridge in Path to Mountain (but beware the Goblin; I'd kill it and its Portalfirst). Whichever you prefer.

Once you've caught a Salmon, deliver it to Mana.

NB - You can get around the scene with Mana in Path to Mountain by catching theSalmon before hand, and giving it to right after you talk to her, accepting herquest.

what she means by "our special place?" You may answer yes or no, but to makeher happy answer "Of course."

Go to Cherry Blossom Square, where you first came to Alvarna with no name ormemories; the place where you first met Mana (and then Douglas). She'll bewaiting there for you, and you two reminisce about the time you first met...and OMG there's an earthquake! Oh, wait, it's just Douglas, bellowing about howyou can't marry his little girl... Mana sends him off, and the two of youfinish up your conversation.

6. "I Have Something to Ask You"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Description: "It's kind of private, but..."Requirement: Have completed Mana's fifth quest: "Let's Talk."Friendship/Love Level: 5/5Reward: give Mana some peace of heart

How to Complete:Speak to Mana. She wants to discuss something in private with you, so could youmeet her at Alvarna - Port at 6:00 PM tomorrow?

You can meet her there at 6:00 PM, but she'll be there the whole day, so youcan go first thing in the morning if you so choose.

Meet up with Mana at Alvarna - Port, and she'll ask if you like someone. Youwill either respond that you don't like anyone right now, or actually tell herthat you like a certain person(s). (You, as a human playing a video game, haveno say in the matter. Kyle answers Mana's question based on how many LP eachBachelorette has. It's very odd.) After hearing your answer, Mana will acceptthe fact and leave.

If you forget to go see her, Mana will be mad at you. But don't fret -

Page 116: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

you justneed to abandon the quest and re-accept it.

NB - Accept this quest as the last of the day, since it needs two days tocomplete.

(The Red Scarf itself is useless. You can't equip it as an accessory, and youcan't sell it because it was a gift. If you don't want it to take up space onyour Shelf or Backpack, just toss it - it'll end up in the Lost-and-Found Boxin Byron's house, if you ever feel the need to have it again. If you leave itin the Box while crossing to Second Generation, it'll simply disappear.)

8.

Please note that this tree will not have an Apple on it specially for this quest - if you've already picked them, the tree takes three game-days to re-grow Apples.~ If you've already picked the Apples and don't want to wait for the tree to re-grow them, you can go to Trieste Forest - Spring Clearing during

To get a cold, you simply have to wait until 3:00 AM before going to bed, twodays in a row.So, stay up until 3:00 AM, and go to sleep. You'll wake up at 9:00 AM, and havea blue-squiggle-icon underneath your HP/RP bars. That means you're "tired."Stay up past 3:00 AM again, and you'll wake up at 9:00 AM, only half of your RPrestored, and a little blue-sun-icon underneath your HP/RP bars. Voila! Youcaught a cold!

I suggest catching a cold before accepting this quest. That way, you can doother quests in the interim.

So Rosalind turned the son down.But now another problem's appeared - Herman wants to know who she wants tomarry! Maybe you can guess who she said.

Herman then indirectly mentioned that he's always wanted to try Royal Curry...and if only the suitor could get one for him, he would probably acceptRosalind's choice.

*******************************************************************************9.6. Quest Items Quicklist [QList-Quests]*******************************************************************************

I've made this section because I've always wanted this kind of list...

Page 158: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

not justfor the Bachelorettes and Love Candidates, but for all the quests. However,since I'm not doing a complete quest list, I'll just have to settle for this.

Basically, I made these lists to answer the question, "Oh, there's a new queston the Bulletin Board! But... does the person need me to bring them somethingthat I can get before accepting the quest?"

Thus, the following tables show what item(s) you would need for each quest,that you are able to acquire before accepting the request on the BulletinBoard. This way, you can have the item at hand when you first head to theperson, and give the item to them right away; instead of accepting the request,finding out what you need to get, and then deciding you can't do it right now.

What these tables DO NOT include:~ Quests that don't need any item that you can get before accepting the quest.~ Quests where you have to find a specific item in a specific place. (For these quests, you have to accept the request in order to be able to find the item the requester names.)

What the table headings mean: Quest Name: the name of the questName: name of the person whose quest it isItem(s) Needed: the item(s) you need to get for the person whose quest you're doing, including quantityWhere to Find: places you can go to find said item(s), separated by ;

###############################################################################10. Marriage Conditions [MarriageConditions]###############################################################################

*******************************************************************************10.1. Bachelorette Marriage Conditions [MC-Bachelorette]*******************************************************************************

In order for you, Kyle, to get married to a Bachelorette, you have to completethe following tasks:~ Complete all 10 of the Bachelorette's Quests.~ Raise the Love Level of the Bachelorette whom you want to marry to 10.~ Obtain the Bachelorette's Proposal Item.~ Give the Bachelorette her Proposal Item.

Once you have given the Bachelorette her Proposal Item, the game goes into(what I like to call) "Matrimony Mode!" You lose control of Kyle; and you getto look on as Kyle proposes to the Bachelorette, then goes through the weddingceremony. You will then look on as Kyle shares the first moments of marriedlife together with his wife... don't look at me like that - she just says thatshe can't believe that they're actually married, and Kyle says that it stillfeels like a dream. After this exchange of dialogue, you regain control.

Page 163: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

*******************************************************************************10.2. Love Candidate "Marriage" Conditions [MC-LoveCan]*******************************************************************************

There isn't much you have to do in order to "marry" a Love Candidate.

What you do:~ Do all of her/his quests on the Bulletin Board.

That's all! Pretty simple, eh?

In order to do all of your chosen Love Candidate's quests, you simply have toraise the Love Level of the Love Candidate whom you want to "marry" up to atleast 6 (for Sera & Serena and Leann) or 8 (for Cammy, Leonel, Orland, Roy).

Just court your lady or beau, and do her/his quests on the Bulletin Board. It'syour lady's or beau's final quest that you want - the reward for completingthat final quest is the pretend marriage.

Once you undertake that final quest, the game goes into "Matrimony Mode." Youlose control of Aaron/Aria; and you get to see your lady or beau confess her/his feelings to Aaron/Aria, then go through Aaron's/Aria's feelings for her/him, then go through the "wedding ceremony." Then, once the "wedding ceremony"is over, Aaron/Aria ponders if he/she will ever get married for real in thefuture. Then you regain control.

#####################################11. Proposals & "Proposals" [Propose]###############################################################################

*******************************************************************************11.1. How to Propose [Propose-How]*******************************************************************************

In the following two sections (11.1.1 & 11.1.2), you'll learn how to propose toyour chosen Bachelorette or "propose" to your chosen Love Candidate.

===============================================================================11.1.1. Bachelorettes - How to Propose [HowP-Bachelorette]===============================================================================

How to propose to your Bachelorette is pretty much--what am I saying--it'sexactly the same as the marriage conditions, minus the getting-married part:~ Complete all 10 of the Bachelorette's Quests.~ Raise the Love Level of the Bachelorette whom you want to marry to 10.~ Obtain the Bachelorette's Proposal Item.~ Give the Bachelorette her Proposal Item.

The marriage conditions are "this is what you need to do in order to getmarried."

The 'How to Propose' is "do that to get married." Thus, act upon the listabove, and that is how you propose to your Bachelorette.

(Why did I even make these sections separate anyway?)

Page 165: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

However, if you (like me) are a simple person:

Q: "How do I propose to my chosen Bachelorette?"A: "Give her her Proposal Item."

===============================================================================11.1.2. Love Candidates - How to "Propose" [HowP-LoveCan]===============================================================================

This is actually a trick question. You don't "propose" to your chosen LoveCandidate.

Just 'accept' and do the Love Candidate's final quest - you know the part wherethey're confessing their feelings to you and you say that you like them too?

There's your "proposal."

~ Grow a crop of Tomatoes (if you haven't done so already)

###############################################################################12. You're Getting Married! [Marriage]###############################################################################

Congratulations, you're getting married!

Well, now that you're going to be married, what does being married

Page 174: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

entail?

Your new wife will be living with you in your house from now until you advanceto Second Generation. In fact, she'll be staying on the second floor of yourfarmhouse for that whole time - in the room with the huge bed. If you talk toyour wife, she'll say something different each day.

Other than that, married life isn't so different than your life before. Youjust have an extra person in the house. Although, it'll become two extrapersons sooner than you would think...

*******************************************************************************12.1. General Procession of Events [MarriageProcession]*******************************************************************************

In this section I outline the general procession of events for the proposal,wedding, marriage, and pregnancy. Essentially, the sequence of events for yourmatrimony.

From the day you propose until the day your child is born, 18 game-days pass:

~ You propose to your chosen Bachelorette by giving her her Proposal Item. Once your proposal is over, you lose control of Kyle.

~ It immediately becomes the next day, and the wedding ceremony occurs. You and your fiancee will exchange vows, and have all of the villagers give you and your new wife their well-wishes.

~ Once the wedding is finished, it becomes the next day, there's a

Page 175: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

short dialogue between Kyle and his new wife, then you regain control.

~ Each day of your marriage, your wife says something different. It can either be a simple statement, or could be a whole story. It could be that you get a story the first time you talk to her, then a statement the second time you talk to her - and then if you talk to her again after that, she'll only parrot what she said in that second time you talked to her. Otherwise, she only says one thing to you every time you talk to her that day, and this changes from day to day.

~ For most of the Bachelorettes, but not all, on the fourth day of being married (the first day being the day after the wedding; the day you regain control), your wife will say something to the effect of: "I want a baby," or "I hope we're going to have a baby soon."

~ On the eighth day of being married, your wife will say something to the effect of: "I don't feel well," or "I haven't been feeling well lately." (Gee I wonder why...)

~ Two days after that (the tenth day of being married), your wife tells you that she's pregnant! Congratulations! During this conversation, you'll be able to pick the gender of your child, or leave it up to chance. (If you say that you hope the baby will be a boy, it will be a boy; if you hope for a girl, it will be a girl; and if you say either is fine, the game will randomly pick for you.)

~ Six days after the pregnancy announcement (the seventh day of being pregnant, or the sixteenth day after the wedding), your child is born. Make sure to speak to your wife when you see her with the baby in her arms! You've got to name your child!

Page 176: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

After your child is born, you'll be able to talk to Byron about building aschool, and you'll be on your way to advancing to the Second Generation.

*******************************************************************************12.2. Marriage Vocabulary [MarriageVocab]*******************************************************************************

In this section, I hope to make clear my use of terms in the following sectionsabout the "Marriage Map" and the matrimony dialogues. That is to say, what Imean by "proposal," "wedding," "marriage days," and "pregnancy days." Hopefullythey're relatively self-explanatory, but I would just like to make myselfclear.

I've given each day of Kyle's matrimony a label, so I can easily refer to it inthe Dialogues. Thus, I shall explain the labels here:

~ Proposal: the day that you propose to your chosen Bachelorette.

~ Wedding: the day of your wedding.

~ Marriage Days: even though you're technically married from here on out, I've split the marriage days into "marriage" and "pregnant." So, the first 10 days of being married are "marriage days;" and your wife gets pregnant on Marriage Day 10. Because there are two different dialogues on that one day, Marriage Day 10 and Pregnancy Day 1 are the same day.

~ Pregnancy Days: these days are the days that your wife is pregnant (I should hope that would be obvious). Your marriage becomes a bit boring

Page 177: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

during your wife's pregnancy, because she only says one thing anytime you talk to her. From the day she announces that she's pregnant to the day before your child is born, she only says the one thing, regardless of how many times you talk to her.

~ Child's Birthday: obviously, the day your child is born. Pregnancy Day 7 and the Child's Birthday are the same day, because your wife is pregnant when you wake up in the morning, but when you leave the second floor of your farmhouse and come back, you'll find that she has a baby in her arms.

I didn't record anything of what each Bachelorette said the day after the babywas born until you build the school... the reason being is that whenever I playa game, I'm a paranoid saver - I save as often as I can so I don't have to redoa lot of things over again if I mess up. Going 18 game-days without savingsomewhat frazzled my nerves ^.^; hahaha...

I was worried that I would accidentally save when I was married to the wrongperson and had left my crops to the elements - all my hard work destroyed by ahabit!

Getting the dialogue of each Bachelorette's proposal, wedding, marriage, andpregnancy was enough. Anyways, if I recall correctly, your wife just parrotsthe same thing about building the school after the baby was born... just likeshe only said the one thing after announcing she was pregnant...

*******12.3. Marriage Calendar Map [MarriageMap]*******************************************************************************

This is the Marriage Calendar Map, which maps out Kyle's matrimony timeline.I'll be assuming that you proposed to your lady on the 1st of a Season.

Hopefully you've read the previous section (12.2. Marriage Vocabulary), where Idescribed what I mean by "Marriage Day" and "Pregnancy Day;" and I hope therest is self-explanatory.

###############################################################################13. Matrimony Dialogues for Bachelorettes [MatrimonyDialogue]###############################################################################

The following sections (13.2 thru 13.8) are the dialogues of each of theBachelorettes during their marriage to Kyle.

There will be dialogue of the:~ Proposal~ Wedding~ Every day of the marriage, including the days of the wife's pregnancy, up until the day the child is born

If the Bachelorette can be proposed to during a quest, the proposal dialoguewill the the dialogue of the quest.

*******************************************************************************13.1. Dialogue Vocabulary [DialogueVocab]*******************************************************************************

I've already explained in section 12 about what the headings "Proposal,""Wedding," "Marriage," and "Pregnancy" mean, but here I shall explain variousabbreviations that I use in the dialogues. I'll also put a short-hand versionof the following list at the beginning each Bachelorette's dialogue section, soyou won't have to scroll up so far to remind yourself what the differentabbreviations or symbols mean.

Page 180: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

First off, for each Dialogue section, to indicate who is speaking, I'veabbreviated Kyle's and the Bachelorette's names to just the first letter oftheir name. If someone besides Kyle or the Bachelorette is speaking, I'll beusing their full name (this only really happens during the wedding ceremony).

The only exception too this rule is when a Bachelorette has family members inAlvarna. The family members will (understandably) have more to say about thewedding than the other villagers. I'll use the full name of the family memberto indicate who is speaking, then shorten it to the first letter of his/hername, just like I did for Kyle and the Bachelorette. The dialogue of the familymembers are separated from the other villagers', so it should be clear who istalking.

Abbreviations and Symbols Used:

~ Anything in CAPSLOCK is an action that you, Kyle, have to perform. There are only three of these words: ~ CHOICE - (choices) ... means you have to choose a response or make a choice; and the choices you can make are in the parentheses () ~ ENTER NAME ... this is where you enter the name of your child; they'll have the default names Aria or Aaron there, but you can change it if you want ~ GO TO ... means you have to go to some place (I only used this in Cecilia's proposal dialogue, since you go propose to her in Messhina Valley - Bridge to Shrine)

~ During the wedding ceremony, you get to see Kyle kiss his bride.

Page 181: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

This action is marked with *kiss*

~ Sometimes, in the dialogues in the game, there's a little music-note-symbol, yes? You know what I'm talking about? Well, I can't very well type them out, so they'll be abbreviated to (mn)

~ Sometimes a voice-actor says something over a page of text in the game. I've managed to record some of the voice-actor dialogue for some of the Bachelorettes, but not all of them... I usually play with the sound off. Any of the voice-actor dialogue will be placed at the end of the text that the voice-actor says it over, and it'll be in braces {} If any of y'all happen to record what the voice-actors say at what time during any of the Bachelorette dialogues, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE to contact me. I would LOVE to add them to the dialogue sections. And I would appreciate it if you would include, specifically, which page of text that the voice actor is speaking over, and preferably on what day he/she says it (e.g. Julia's voice actor says "Sweetie!" on Marriage Day 7, over the text "I love you, darling. Let's be happy together.").

~ This only occurred in Julia's proposal dialogue... there was a text box that appeared, but the text wasn't said by a character, and it wasn't a choice or response. It was simply there. It'll be framed by hyphens -TEXT-

As an aside, for the Marriage and Pregnancy Dialogue sections:~ Even though I say that I talked to each bride right after waking up in the morning and before leaving Farm House 2F, she'll say the same things even if you leave the house, do stuff, come back, and then talk to her.

Page 182: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

*******************************************************************************13.2. Alicia's Dialogue [Alicia-D]*******************************************************************************

I'm abbreviating Kyle to "K" and Alicia to "A." The other villagers will stillhave their full names.

Key:~ CHOICE - (choices) = you have to choose a response/make a choice - (options)~ ENTER NAME = you can enter the name of your child, or leave it as Aaron/Aria~ GO TO = you have to go to some place~ {TEXT} = voice-actor dialogue~ (mn) = music note symbol~ *kiss* = Kyle kisses his bride~ -TEXT- = text that appeared that wasn't a choice/response, and wasn't said by a character

===============================================================================13.2.1. Alicia's Proposal Dialogue [Alicia-DPropose]===============================================================================

You can actually propose to Alicia two different ways. You can propose to herwhen you complete her tenth quest: "Find Me a Crystal Ball?", or you cancomplete the quest without marrying her (and receive the Crystal Ball as thereward for the quest), and give her the Crystal Ball some other time.

The following is the dialogue from the very beginning of her quest (i.e. whenyou first talk to her after accepting the quest on the Bulletin Board):

A: I have an important favor to ask of you, Kyle.K: What is it?A: I need you to go to Padova Mts. - Ice Field and find me a CRYSTAL BALL. I require it to finish one of my greatest divinations. As a reward, I'll give you a whole 1000G. What do you think?K: Sounds good to me!A: Thanks, Kyle. That's why I like you so much. Marry me!K: Yeah, yeah.A: You're never going to believe I'm serious, are you?K: Heh. Nope!A: Fine then. I'll still be happy if you get me a CRYSTAL BALL!

If you talk to her again:A: Go to Padova Mts. Ñ Ice Field and find me a CRYSTAL BALL. It's very important.

GO TO Padova Mts. - Ice Field and retrieve the Crystal Ball.

When you give Alicia the Crystal Ball:A: You found it.K: Yes. I found it.A: Kyle, according to my fortune, a CRYSTAL BALL is something that will be given to me as a marriage proposal.K: A...proposal?A: That's right. The man who brings me a CRYSTAL BALL is the man I'm destined to marry.K: You're not joking?A: No. I'm serious. My feeling for you are the real thing.K: Wow, Alicia...A: I love you, Kyle. And it's not just some silly fortune that I'm trying to make come true. I really do love you.K: Alicia...

CHOICE (propose or not)

Not propose: "I'm not quite prepared for this.":

Page 184: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

K: Now I understand your feelings about this, Alicia. But I haven't sorted out my feelings quite yet.A: I understand. I'll give this CRYSTAL BALL to you, Kyle. I'll leave it up to you whether to give it to me again someday, or to throw it away, Kyle.K: Okay.(The quest ends here, you don't marry Alicia, and you get the Crystal Ballback.)

Propose: "Please marry me.":A: You really want to marry me?K: Yes. I love you too, Alicia. Your fortune was dead-on this time.A: Thank you, Kyle. I'm so happy! But what do you mean by "this time"? My fortunes are never wrong!K: I know, I know. Ha-ha-ha!

If you decide to not marry her upon completing her tenth quest, you have theopportunity to propose to her later. That is the following dialogue:

K: Alicia. Will you marry me?A: Do you really mean it?K: Of course! I want to marry you and make you happy. You do predict a happy future for us, right?A: Of course! I predict that we'll live happily ever after!

===============================================================================13.2.3. Alicia's Marriage Dialogue [Alicia-DMarriage]===============================================================================

Talked to Alicia right after waking up in the morning, and before leaving FarmHouse 2F.

Day 1 - right after the wedding, before you regain control-------------------------------------------------------------------------------A: Good morning, darling... Oh, I still can't believe that we're married!K: It is all still a bit like a dream, Alicia! Ah hah hah hah!

Page 187: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

A: So this is where we're going to live from now on! I know you'll make me happy, darling! I saw it!K: Of course!

When you talk to Alicia, you're given 3 options:~ "I want to talk."~ "I want you to read my fortune."~ "Never mind."

If you choose "Never mind.":A: What do you want?

If you choose "I want you to read my fortune.":You're given another 3 options.~ "Weather Reading."~ "Location Reading."~ "Never mind."

If you choose "Never mind.":(And this is for all the "Never mind." options you can find in "I want you toread my fortune.")A: You don't want me to do a reading for you? I'm not going to take your money anymore. Ha ha ha.

If you choose: "Location Reading.":You're given a list of everyone in the town, and must choose who you want tofind.A: Okay, I'll give you a location reading! Hollyhalla! Jami-la-la! Wahala!!! {Hollyhalla! Jami-la-la! Walaha!!!} Heh heh heh. I can see it! I've spotted you now! (tells you where the person(s) is/are). No doubt about it! That'll be 20G. Ha ha ha! I guess old habits die hard.

If you choose: "Weather Reading.":You're given another 3 options.~ "Tomorrow's weather."

Page 188: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

~ "I want it to be clear tomorrow."~ "I want it to rain tomorrow."

If you choose: "Tomorrow's weather.":A: When we were single, I had you pay me 100G, but I guess we don't need to bother with that now, do we? Sim sala bim! Sim sim sim sala bim! {Sim sala bim! Sim sim sim sala bim!} I can see it... (tells you tomorrow's weather)

If you choose: "I want it to be clear tomorrow.":A: When we were single, I had you pay me 100G, but I guess we don't need to bother with that now, do we? La-lee-loo-la! La-lee-loo-la! {La-lee-loo-la! La-lee-loo-la!} I've done it. Tomorrow is definitely going to be sunny now.

If you choose: "I want it to rain tomorrow.":A: When we were single, I had you pay me 100G, but I guess we don't need to bother with that now, do we? Hollyhalla! Jami-la-la! Wahala!!! {Hollyhalla! Jami-la-la! Walaha!!!} Okay, it'll rain tomorrow now.

Regardless of anything she says that indicates that she's charging you, all ofher readings are free.She also doesn't do Love Readings anymore. Since you're married now, it's kindof pointless.

The following dialogue is when you choose the "I want to talk." option:

Day 1 - right after the wedding, after you regain control-------------------------------------------------------------------------------A: Good morning, dear. Ahhh... We really got married. I'm...so happy.

Day 7-------------------------------------------------------------------------------A: Take good care of me, dear.

Day 8 - "I don't feel well"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------A: I haven't felt so good, lately. I feel...sick to my stomach.K: Are you okay?A: Yes...I think. I'm fine. According to my fortune...K: You don't need fortunes, just get some rest, okay?

===============================================================================13.3.1. Cecilia's Proposal Dialogue [Cecilia-DPropose]===============================================================================

In order to propose to and marry Cecilia, you have to complete her tenth quest:"A Very Important Request."

If you try giving Cecilia the Round Stone before doing this quest:C: That's very important to me. I...I want you to have it. You may need it someday.-You got: ROUND STONE!-

NB - If you end this quest, and end up not marrying Cecilia, the quest remainson the Bulletin Board for you to accept. The only way to complete this quest,and have it unavailable to do it again (i.e. moved to "Completed Requests"), isto marry Cecilia.

The following is the dialogue from the very beginning of her quest (i.e. whenyou first talk to her after accepting the quest on the Bulletin Board):

C: If you really like me, Kyle, bring the ROUND STONE to Messhina

Page 194: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

Valley - Bridge to Shrine.K: You mean that thing you gave me before?C: Yes. Bring that to Messhina Valley - Bridge to Shrine. I'll be waiting for you there.K: Okay.GO TO Messhina Valley - Bridge to Shrine

If you talk to her:C: I've been waiting for you, Kyle. Did you bring the ROUND STONE?

CHOICE - (yes, no)

If you choose "Whoops, I forgot.":C: Do you think you could go back and get it? I'll be waiting here.(Conversation ends, but she'll still be standing there. Go back and get it, andgive it to her.)

If you choose "Yeah.":C: May I have it? I'm glad you remembered it!(Conversation ends, and she'll be waiting for you to give her the stone.)

When you give Cecilia the Round Stone:C: I wanted to tell you something, Kyle. When I was small, I liked collecting stones. One time I got lost in a dungeon while looking for some. The person who saved me from that terrible place was a man called Raguna.K: I remember you saying that you and he were friends when you lived in Kardia.C: After seeing how handsome and how brave he was...my life changed forever. From that point on, I always imagined my future husband proposing to me in a dungeon or other monster-infested area.K: That's...that's interesting. (That's one of the weirdest things I've ever heard.)C: That's not... strange or anything, is it?K: No, not at all. Well, it's not exactly normal, but it's not so weird.C: Do you like girls who are a little strange, Kyle?

Page 195: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

CHOICE - (yes, no)

If you choose "No.":C: Y-Yeah, you're right. Who in their right mind would ever like someone like that, huh? I'm sorry. I think I'd better go home now.(The quest ends here, you don't marry Cecilia, and you get the Round Stoneback.)

If you choose "Yeah.":K: Yeah, I do.C: Really?! Oh, Kyle...

CHOICE - (propose or not)

Not propose: "Hold on a second.":C: I see... I'm sorry too. I really am sorry. I'd better head home.(The quest ends here, you don't marry Cecilia, and you get the Round Stoneback.)

Propose: "Will you marry me?":K: Will you marry me, Cecilia?C: Oh, you have no idea how happy I feel... How long I've been waiting to hear those words!K: I promise I'll make you happy.C: I believe you.

Talked to Rosalind right after waking up in the morning, and before leavingFarm House 2F.

Rosalind's marriage dialogue is by far the most interesting. Much more like amarriage than any of the other bachelorettes. You'll notice that there are twoseparate dialogues. The first, and longer, of the two is what you'll get whenyou talk to Rosalind the first time that day. The second, shorter, dialogue iswhat you'll get when you talk to her any number of times after that.

Day 1 - right after the wedding, after you regain control-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: Good morning, honey. Did you sleep well last night? I, um... I just couldn't get to sleep at all, so... I'm really tired out.K: Oh, really? Then why don't we sleep holding hands tonight?R: Really? Oh... Yes, okay!K: Come on, doesn't it make you feel safe to hold hands? You'll sleep much better.R: Of course. You're right! When couples can't sleep, if they go to sleep holding hands, then it melts away the stress and they drift right off to sleep. Oh, I've read about that in a research report somewhere! We'll just have to put it to the test tonight!K: Ha-ha-ha! Okay, then. Tonight let's go to sleep holding hands!R: Okay!

K: Tonight let's go to sleep holding each other's hands!R: Okay!

Day 2-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: Have you noticed anything different?K: Huh? Well...R: Oh, come on! Look closely at the floor and windows!K: Oh! They're really shiny. Of course! You cleaned them!R: I sure did. You should have seen the giant dust bunnies I found in the corners! It was really dirty!

Page 229: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

K: Ha-ha-ha.R: I can't believe you... And you pay such close attention to detail when you're working in the fields... But when it comes to taking care of yourself, you don't care at all! You just can't survive without me, can you, sweetie? (mn)K: No. I don't know what I'd do without you! (mn)

R: You just can't survive without me, can you, sweetie? (mn)K: No. I don't know what I'd do without you! (mn)

Day 3-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: I brought some lithograph prints from my house.K: Oh, yeah. Those pictures hanging in the bedroom? I noticed those.R: What do you think?K: I think they look nice. This room is kind of dreary. It could use a little color, I think.R: It is.

K: Lithograph prints... Maybe I should try painting something.R: Oh, that would be great!

Day 4-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: Honey!K: Wh-What?!R: I was straightening up the bookshelves and look what I found!K: Oh... Oh, that's just...R: What is this?! I found this sketch of some girl and this piece of a note! Judging from the color of her hair... this looks like a sketch of Mana!! I can't believe you! You were sneaking around with Mana behind my back! You're awful! I just can't bear it!!K: Rosalind... take a closer look at that picture. The colors have faded over

Page 230: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

time, but originally the hair was colored cyan, you see?R: Well, then... So that must have been...?K: That's right! That's your hair color! This is something your brother secretly gave me. It's something I've always carried with me.R: Really?!K: When my crops dried up and I felt depressed, or when I couldn't remember my past and I felt all alone, frustrated and discouraged... Your smiling face in this picture, so full of compassion and understanding, always game me courage and strength to carry on. But now that I can call you my wife, I don't need this picture anymore.R: Oh, I see... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions...K: It's okay. Actually, it makes me happy to see how much you really love me.R: I do. I really do love you, honey.

R: I'm sorry... I really jumped to conclusions.K: It's okay.

Day 5-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: Sweetie?K: Yes?R: You know those potted flowers? I haven't done anything much for them, yet pests don't bother them. Don't you find that strange?K: I'm an Earthmate! So they probably can sense my power!R: Oh, you think so?K: Yes!R: Okay, okay... whatever you say.

R: *giggle (mn)*

Day 6-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: Oh dear. You still have dirt on your fingers.K: I wonder why? It must be especially difficult to wash off.

Page 231: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

R: Even after all that scrubbing in the bath last night.K: I know.

R: You've got to scrub even more.K: Ok.

Day 7-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: Honey?K: Huh? What is it, Princess?R: I'd love to have some of your homemade cooking sometimes...K: Oh, really? Well, then I'll have to treat you to my cooking sometime!R: Really? Is that a promise?K: Of course!R: Oh, I can't wait!! (mn)

R: You're very own cooking! I'm really looking forward to it! (mn)

Day 8 - "I don't feel well"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: Um, honey?K: What's wrong? You look really pale!R: Lately, I've been feeling kind of bad... I've got an upset stomach.K: Oh no, are you going to be okay?R: Oh, yes. I think I'll be okay.K: Well, okay... But don't overdo it, okay?R: Ok. Thanks.

K: Don't overdo it, okay?R: Okay. Thanks, honey.

Day 9-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: There's a letter here for you from my brother.K: I wonder what it could be? Let's see it... "Dear Kyle, How are you doing? I hope you're getting along well with Rosalind! I really value your

Page 232: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

company and energy. I hope you come back to the de Sainte-Coquille homestead soon with your family. Then you can help me start my business plan! I'll be waiting! Peace!" That's all he says.R: It seems like my brother has really taken to you, too.K: Ha-ha-ha! I don't know what to say.

R: It seems like my brother has really taken to you, too.K: Ha-ha-ha! I don't know what to say.

Day 10 - "I'm pregnant!"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------R: Honey, I have something important to tell you.K: What?R: Well, I, um, we're going to have a baby.K: What? Really?! That's great! Oh, wow! I'm so happy, Rosalind!R: I am, too.K: I can't believe it! Our baby? Our very own baby...? I wonder if it's a boy or a girl?R: Oh, I wonder, too! Which do you hope for?

CHOICE - (boy, girl, either)

Boy: "I hope it's a boy."K: I guess I'd like a boy. What about you, Rosalind?R: *giggle (mn)* Me too.K: Wow, our family is growing.R: That's right, so keep working hard, honey.K: Of course!

Girl: "I hope it's a girl."K: I guess I'd like a girl. What about you, Rosalind?R: *giggle (mn)* Me too.K: Wow, our family is growing.R: That's right, so keep working hard, honey.K: Of course!

###############################################################################14. Aera's Opinion Corner [AeraOpinion]###############################################################################

You can actually just ignore this section if you wish... because here I'll

Page 243: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

justbe expressing various opinions I have (or had) while making this guide. Thingsthat I noticed that amused me, what I felt while writing a certain part of thisguide, stuff like that. It won't be in any order... or rather, they'll be inthe order that I wrote this guide - which wasn't chronologically by section, bythe way. I wrote whatever section I felt like writing at the time. Or theseopinions are in the order that they came to me. So they'll be all higgledy-piggledy.

As well as the past/present tense mixed up (since I'll be writing in presenttense at the time of the comment, but when you read this, it'll be in thepast).Thus, these'll be chronologically of when they came to me.

The most interesting marriage: Rosalind's. It was so adorable, so sappy andromantic... it made me giggle SO hard. *sigh* I happen to be rather romanticat heart... so even though I thought it was cute and wouldn't mind if thosethings were said to me in a relationship, I can still laugh at what Rosalindand Kyle said to each other. Heehee.

Longest proposal: Cecilia. I think the reason I thought Ceci's proposal was thelongest was because I wanted to record all the places you can not-propose inher tenth quest. So getting through that proposal took the longest.

Shortest proposal: Alicia then Mana (in that order). I finished their proposalsand was like, "... Wow. Kyle just gets right to the point there, doesn't he? Nobeating-around-the-bush for Kyle."Mind you, I totally forgot about Alicia's 10th quest, in which you can propose

Page 244: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

to her... so I guess it would be Mana then Alicia. But Alicia's after-10th-quest proposal was pretty darn short.

How many weddings did I sit through? Three for each Bachelorette. Oh!... I wentthrough one of them four times, because I needed a little more information thatI missed the first three times. And then I went to double-check some otherthings... and it brings my total up to 27 weddings. TWENTY-SEVEN. Twenty-seventimes of listening to marriage vows. While writing down the last Bachelorette'smatrimony dialogue, I could actually type exactly what Gordon said withouthaving to check my DS. Actually, it was 28 weddings that I sat through, becausethe 28th was my actual marriage choice.

My favorite facial-expression of all the Bachelorettes is one that Julia makes.She has this "OMG!" face, that I absolutely ADORE. <3 I wish I could show you apicture... it's so funny and adorable. None of the other Bachelorettes evershow a facial-expression-change that dramatic.You can actually see this face when you're proposing to Julia. Oh, I love it SOmuch! ... Oh, and you can also see it a lot in one of her quests ... which onewas it? Her sixth one: "Something I've Noticed." You have a heart-to-heart withher, and she gets angry and flabbergasted at you, and she makes her "OMG!"face. ^.^Two pictures of Julia's "OMG!" face, courtesy of moonrazk of GameSpot/GameFAQs!http://img404.imageshack.us/i/runefactory2julia.png/http://img404.imageshack.us/i/juliaomgf226f7.gif/

I usually play RF2 with the sound off, but I actually had the sound on throughmost (... actually, I think all) of the proposals, weddings, and marriages. Iwasn't really paying that much attention to what the voice-actors were

Page 245: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

saying,but there were two that caugh--three that caught my attention:~ In Julia's proposal: Julia's voice-actor (VA) says "Huh?" when Julia says "Huh? You are! You're...proposing!" It was just the way the VA said it that made it funny.~ Also in Julia's proposal: right after Julia's VA says "Huh?" ... Kyle says something, and his VA says, "I love you!" Ah hahaha... he says it so emphatically, it made me laugh out loud (and I do mean this literally).And I'm just realizing that the third one was from Julia's marriage, too...~ When Julia's announced that she's pregnant: Julia says that she's going to have a baby, and Kyle says "R-R-Really?! That's great!..." and Kyle's VA says "Right on!" *snickers* I heard that, and was like, "WHAT?! WHAT did he just say? Did he just say 'Right on!'? Who SAYS that?!" It was great. It made my day.Oh, and... because I REALLY don't want to go through all those weddings andmarriages AGAIN... if any of y'all happen to record what the VAs say at whattime during any of the Bachelorette dialogues, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE to contactme. I would LOVE to add them to the dialogue sections. And I would appreciateit if you would include, specifically, which page of text that the VA isspeaking over, and preferably on what day he/she says it (e.g. Julia's voiceactor says "Sweetie!" on Marriage Day 7, over the text "I love you, darling.Let's be happy together.").

In case you were curious, I was able to get all of the Bachelorettes to 10LP onSummer 25, Year 1. ^.^Whenever I'm playing First Generation, I like to complete every single quest onthe Bulletin Board before I go to Second Generation. So, naturally, thatincludes all ten quests for each Bachelorette. Thus, I end up getting

Page 246: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

all sevengirls up to 10LP... and THEN choose my bride. Oh, I'm such a player... hahaha!I do feel bad for them, I really do... but still. *playfully evil grin* I findit so amusing that I play all the Bachelorette's feelings before I propose tomy chosen bride. XDAnd then after I'm married, since they take up space, I go around and give theother Bachelorettes their proposal items. XD ahahaha!!! *hangs head in mockshame* I'm so cruel... But it is kind of amusing to see what they say.

Because I felt like it, I decided to put in any relatives the Bachelorettes andLove Candidates had. You know, if they had a family member I could name - afather, mother, grandparent, sibling, etc. It wasn't so bad for theBachelorettes, but when I got to the Love Candidates... oh boy. That was SOCONFUSING. There was so many "if this person married that person, then therelatives would be..." and "but this person could also marry that person, sothe relatives would change..."It was terrible. I couldn't do it in my head. But maybe that was because, atthe time I was doing it, it was around midnight and I hadn't gotten much sleepthe night before and I was listening to friends play Rock Band and sometimeswas pulled in to sing...So what I ended up doing was I cut up pieces of paper, wrote down a villager'sname on each one, and laid out all the different marriage possibilities so Icould figure out who was related to who when certain people were married. Themost confusing two were Leann and Sera & Serena. Holy cow... pain in the bum,but I had a lot of fun doing it, actually.I then thought that maybe I could make a section where it would map out everymarriage possibility. That is to say, if Kyle was married to this oneBachelorette, how would everyone in Alvarna be related? And I would do that for

Page 247: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

each Bachelorette who could marry Kyle. I have mapped it all out, but I don'tthink it's relevant to this guide, so I won't put it in here. ... But if enoughpeople were interested, maybe I could add it? Contact me. ^.^

One night I was incredibly stupid... I was majorly procrastinating on myhomework (working on this guide), and I kept staying up later and later...Well, I just didn't sleep that night. Didn't climb into bed. No sleep for me.It was a Monday night, too... and I had class at 9:30 am... but I did manage toget through my classes that day. And I got a good chunk of this guide done,too! (One would think... I spent the whole night working on it!!)

Hmm... I think I've spent ten days writing this guide. I just got hooked, andkept cranking out stuff. Started on February 21st, and got the first draft doneon March 2nd.I really shouldn't've done that... I need to do my homework too... But, nowthat this guide is finished, perhaps I can calm down and actually do the stuffthat I need do do!

Which was what I did. ^.^ Worked on my homework, that is... and then I let itsit for a while, to get it out of my head, and then I went through proofreadingit! It's a bit boring... but at least I'm catching grammar and spelling errors,as well as information that I forgot to put in, or stuff that needed to beupdated... or things that looked wrong, and thus I'd need to go double-check.

And in the interim between the first draft and the proofreading... as well asduring the proofreading... *shakes head in shame* I started watching "Prince ofTennis"...Rather, I'd read the manga a while ago. Then, when I was browsing an online-

Page 248: Likes and Hates Rune Factory 2

manga-reading site, I'd saw that the author had made a "New Prince of Tennis."And so I thought, "Oh dear, what silliness are they getting into now? *rollseyes*" and I read the 24 chapters that they had (since the "New Prince ofTennis" started only a few months ago, apparently).I couldn't really remember everyone and what their personalities where like...so I went back and re-read "Prince of Tennis." *bangs head on desk* AND I GOTHOOKED!!! ;_; *flails arms* Baaaaah... and then I started watching the anime...which I kinda stopped at episode 129 (there's 178 episodes plus twenty-something OVAs), because I liked the manga story line better. Hmmm... I wonderif I'll ever finish watching it?So, while proofreading... 'round about half of this guide, I was simultaneouslywatching episodes of "Prince of Tennis."And I must say, I felt decidedly odd... reading and watching "Prince ofTennis." Why? All the main characters are in middle school. To put that interms of ages... they're all 12 to 15 years old. And while I'm squealing overhow cute and adorable and funny and silly they are... I feel like a pedophile;because I'm in college. *shakes head in exasperation* Geez... WHY MUST THEY BESO LIKABLE?! *flails*(Please don't judge me because I read/watched "Prince of Tennis." I normallydon't read/watch that kind of story. I like reading stuff like "FullmetalAlchemist" much, much more. Oh, and gender-benders. Those amuse me to no end.)

I recently downloaded the original soundtrack for "Pirates of the Caribbean:The Curse of the Black Pearl."I love listening to epic music like that. And did I mention that I LOVEpirates?

Finally got around to watching Disney's "The Princess and the Frog." I rentedthe movie via iTunes. Do you know the rules of iTunes movie rentals?

Once it'sdownloaded, you have 30 days in which to watch the movie. Once you've startedthe movie, you have 24 hours in which to finish it. I've also discovered thatyou can watch the movie as many times as you like within that 24-hour timespan.I downloaded it. I watched it, and I loved it. So I decided to watch it again.And again. ... And again. ... I watched that movie seven times within 24 hours.I loved it that much. ^.^; hahaha... ;_; don't judge me!

###############################################################################15. F. A. Q. [FAQ]###############################################################################

This section is for questions that I come across frequently; either sent to mevia email, or I stumble across them by lurking on the RF2 forum on GameSpot.

Who's the best Bachelorette to marry? Are there benefits if I marry [insertBachelorette name here]? Does the Bachelorette I choose have any influence onanything in Second Generation? Does she effect how Aria/Aaron look? (Oranything to that effect.)

I've seen this question pop up on the GameSpot RF2 forum so many times invarious forms. There's no "best Bachelorette." You're a big boy/girl now, youcan make your own decisions: choose you're own wife.

However, there are potential benefits in First Generation depending on whom youmarry, and there are some differences in Second Generation as well.

In First Generation, these are some of the advantages and disadvantages:~ If you marry Alicia, she will do Weather and Location Readings for free, and will no longer give Love Readings.~ If you marry Julia, you don't have to pay to use the bathhouse - however, the once-a-day rule still applies.~ If you marry Yue, you can't buy anything from her until you progress to Second Generation.

These are some differences that occur in Second Generation:~ Who you're related to in Alvarna and how you're related to them are different depending on the Bachelorette.~ If you marry Yue or any of the Bachelorettes, NOT INCLUDING Mana and Alicia, Yue's "shop" hours change: you can only buy from her on sunny Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays - as long as there is no festival going on. (That is to say, if you marry Mana or Alicia, Yue's "shop" hours in Second Generation will not change from First Generation.)~ When the wife/mom ventures out of the house (which she does occasionally), there is a certain place each Bachelorette goes. For example, Yue will be in North Square selling goods on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; Rosalind will be at the port next to Alicia; Alicia will be at the port giving out her Readings; and I don't recall or know where the others go, but that's a good sample.

And in case you were wondering, your child does not look different for eachBachelorette. The child will not have pointy ears if you marry Cecilia; willnot have blue hair if you marry Rosalind; etc., etc. The child will be in theimage of Kyle, the father.
