Princess Alisa Chelsea Introduction This is one of my mini-guides that can be used as a quick reference guide for a specific aspect of any Harvest Moon or Rune Factory game. Sunshine Islands has many of the same characters as Island of Happiness and those who do appear in both games tend to have the same birthdays, Most Favourites and other likes and dislikes in both. Nonetheless, there are differences and a separate Character Guide as well as Courtship and Marriage Guide thus is mandated for each. This Courtship and Marriage Guide contains specific sections for every Eligible Bachelor and Girl in Sunshine Islands. Information includes Birthdays, Most Favourite Gifts, other Likes and Dislikes, the schedule of Heart Events and Rival Heart Events and the actual Text of these Events. For sections that deal with all characters, including those who are not eligible for marriage, please l refer to my Sunshine Islands Characters Guide at: HMSI Characters Guide http://faqs.ign.com/articles/104/1044016p1.html Furthermore, you will find the text of all the Friendship Events for Eligible Girls and Bachelors in the Characters Guide. For all other aspects of gameplay, please refer to my General Guide and Walkthrough at: HMSI General Guide http://faqs.ign.com/articles/104/1044014p1.html Note that the Characters Guide will not include Heart or Rival Heart Events for Eligible Girls/Bachelors but DOES include the Friendship Events for ALL Characters that occur at 7 Hearts. This Courtship and Marriage Guide thus is devoted strictly to those two aspects of the lives of the Eligible Girls/Bachelors. Sunshine Islands, like Island of Happiness really is two separate games on a single cartridge. There is a 'boy's game' and a 'girl's game', depending on whether you choose to play a male or female character. The actual characters are the same in both versions, but their roles obviously are very different. If your character is a girl, your male peers will be Eligible Bachelors and the females will be your Rivals. If your character is a boy, your female peers will be Eligible Girls and the males will become your Rivals. In this Guide, Eligible Bachelors are listed first, followed by Eligible Girls. This follows the official order of characters in your Assets List if your character is a girl but not if he is a boy. Obviously, Rival Heart Events will be the same, whatever your character's gender, but Heart Events will be very different. Rival Heart Events for each couple will be listed twice, both in the section for the Eligible Girl involved and in the section that deals with the Eligible Bachelor as well. Those players familiar with Island of Happiness will recognise most of the Eligible Girls and Bachelors in Sunshine Islands. There are a couple of exciting new characters, however. Most of the major characters can be encountered on the 1st day that you are allowed to leave your Farm, which is 2 Spring. The items available at the market initially include all the grains that were so difficult to unlock in IoH. Embarking upon a Courtship Whether you wish to court an Eligible Girl/Bachelor or simply make a new friend, it is 'meeting and greeting' an individual regularly that is most important in Sunshine Islands. In fact, a Character will not accept any Gifts whatsoever from you until you have introduced yourself AND spoken to him/her regularly for a few days. When you first meet a Character, he/she will not accept any Gifts from you. It is considered improper to do so. People will tell you that they 'need to know you better' or that they do not 'need' the item you offer. It therefore is perceived somewhat as a favour to YOU as well as a sign of friendship when an individual accepts any Gift. The only exception is that, in the early Spring in the first year, a Character will accept a Gift on his/her Birthday even if that individual would continue to reject Gifts from you on any other day. This is why Vaughn will accept a Birthday Gift on 3 Spring when other Characters continue to reject Gifts from you still. Furthermore, even if a Character accepts Gifts from you, neglect will cause him/her later to reject anything you offer, even if it is a 'Most Favourite Gift'. Players of Island of Happiness will be familiar with the effects of social neglect, although Sunshine Islands differs in the initial requirement for accepting a Gift. In Island of Happiness, a new acquaintance would accept a Gift immediately. In Sunshine Islands, social protocol dictates that the Character not accept any Gifts from strangers! Finally, you have a 30% risk of losing 100 Friendship Points with any individual you fail to greet on any given day. This makes it vital that you try to 'meet and greet' every one as regularly as possible. While you are restricted to walking as your sole means of transport on any Island and Kirk's boat for travel to and from the Islands, performing social rounds can be extremely time-consuming. Fortunately, as soon as your income reaches 100,000G, the Teleport Stone will appear at Chen's Shop. The Teleport Stone really is a necessity rather than a luxury item in a world where failing to speak to every one daily can result in a decrease in Friendship. The Teleport Stone has specific destinations and will not give you 'door to door' service. Other items that are of great help in your social interactions therefore are the Turbo Shoes and the Time-Slowing Ring. As you cannot ride your Horse in Sunshine Islands, the only way to increase your speed is by equipping the Turbo Shoes. By equipping the Time-Slowing Ring as well, you will be able to make all of your daily 'meeting and greeting' Visits without consuming your entire day in doing so. The Value of Dialogue Speaking to any Character on a daily basis will increase Love and/or Friendship slowly but surely. You gain 100 Friendship Points with any individual simply by speaking to him/her. There are other advantages to regular dialogue. You will find that a Character's conversation will be different at every location. In most locations, however, that dialogue will remain constant irrespective of the individual's Heart Level. It usually is when the Character is at home that his/her dialogue will change according to Heart Level. Furthermore, it is at home that individuals tend to confess details about their own past, likes and dislikes or other personal matters. Although the point value of 'meeting and greeting' some one is the same no matter where you encounter him/her, you often obtain the best information when you visit a Character at his/her home. The Value of Gifts In Sunshine Islands as in most Harvest Moon games, Gifts can increase or decrease Heart Levels in terms of Love and/or Friendship. A Gift of an item that an individual loves will boost Heart Levels but a Gift of a detested item will lower them! It therefore is vital to pay attention to a Character's specific likes and dislikes. Both this Guide and my Characters Guide provide details about each individual's likes and dislikes. Birthdays are important occasions for gift-giving in any Harvest Moon game. A Gift of a favourite item on an individual's Birthday is worth far more in terms of Heart Level increase than the same item given on an ordinary day. Sunshine Islands rewards friendship with more benefits than most other Harvest Moon games. You can obtain special items as rewards. When you have given any individual five favoured Gifts, you will receive the Gift of a Sun Stone in return. A 'favoured Gift' in this sense is any item that is received 'with music'. When you reach 2 Hearts with the owner of any House/Business, you will receive a Sun Stone as well. It is possible that you must receive the 'personal' Sun Stone in some cases before the 'owner' Sun Stone event uploads/Litterature/ friendship-guide-hmds.pdf
