-2 hearts: door visit with gift
-3 hearts: considered “friends”
-4 hearts: door visit with more romantic gift
-5 hearts: date
-6 hearts: love letter
-7 hearts: confession
-9/10 hearts: eligible for marriage (with Level 2 house and Blue Feather)
I’m not sure, but I believe that the only requirement to have a baby after marriage is a Level 3 house. Immediately after the upgrade (it was only a week or two after the wedding), I woke up to a scene with Toby thinking about the possibility of having a child. That’s when you choose the future kid’s gender – or you can ask the spouse for his/her preference. After that scene, a “Baby Day” gets marked on your calendar, and that’s when the child will be born. (Taiko’s birthday happens to be Spring 24. That’s the same as my original player character’s birthday from Harvest Moon: Magical Melody. =D)
Toby: “I’ll be right here. I’ll hold your hand.”
Irene: “No you won’t. Go wait outside.”
xD;
The waiting and pacing around the Clinic was totally sweet, though.
And the baby’s cry! It’s so adorable! Not nearly as annoying as in previous games! Sometimes it even laughs randomly, which is even cuter.
…Now, don’t even bother telling me that if “Taiko” was a real name it would be a girl’s name. X_X I searched and searched for real uses of the name, but, besides the fact that it’s an incredibly rare and unlikely name for people or even fictional characters, the few instances I found were for females… so, I know. I realize that it’s because -ko is a feminine suffix in Japanese. But… I spent over an hour and a half sifting through online lists of musical terminology, musical instruments, etc. trying to decide on a good MUSICAL-themed name and could come up with nothing better. I settled on Taiko because it’s a kind of Japanese drum. Drums are manly enough, right? Maybe written with a certain kanji… it would be… I don’t know. xD;
See, I’ve already decided that my future baby girl’s name will be Harmony (you can have two kids in this game, right…?), also in keeping with the island’s musical naming pattern – the same reasoning that resulted in my player character’s name of Melody. The names Harmony and Melody kind of go together (hopefully the daughter will resemble the mother), so Toby and Taiko can go together because the son seems to take after his father with that blue-grayish hair, green eyes, and of course the self-chosen gentle personality. Toby’s got an Asian look anyway, and both names start with T, so… Yeah…
I REALLY do put a lot of thought into my Harvest Moon baby names! X_x Remember “Holly Jay”?
I strive to make them meaningful! So I hope this one’s cultural semi-inaccuracy doesn’t grow to bother me… =P

I’m not sure if i’m just being paranoid, something is wrong with my game, or it’s just a typical game fault, but it would seem that in some areas that are walked on, the player, and the animation slow down slightly, but enought to annoy me. It is especially bad in town, however, it’s never a problem inside a home, or building…Please tell me if you have noticed this, if there is anything to do, and what I should do
