We get good news related to Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town. After its premiere in Japan, which took place last October 2019, now we are going to be able to enjoy it by the West in summer and it seems that with news.
According to what is shared, this western version adds changes to the friendship system in the game, so that players can pair for life through marriage with a character of the same sex. According to what is shared, these homosexual couples will develop exactly the same in time as the relationships of opposite sex couples.
This will be possible thanks to a heart-shaped icon that indicates us the affinity we have with the different characters of the place, whether or not they are of the same sex as us. In this way, the range of marriage candidates is broader than that offered by the Japanese version, where they can only be paired with people of a different sex after showing our feelings and starting to date them.
"In our version, [the 'best friends' system] will simply be called 'marriage' and the same-sex relationship will be treated the same as opposite-sex couples," shares XSEED Games location manager John Wheeler. "It's been a long time in the Story of Seasons series and the producer has supported our decision from the early stages of development."
"A minor but important change for the North American and European releases of Friends of Mineral Town is that the 'heart icon' indicating the romantic affinity of a marriage candidate for the player will be displayed to all marriage candidates from the beginning of the game, while in the Japanese release it was only shown for same-sex candidates after you confessed and started dating them. ”
Definitely a really interesting news. You can find our full coverage of the game at this link.
