Growing up, I always thought Pete/Jack as Harvest Moon's answer to "Mario" or "Link" and truthfully - I can't think of him as anything but the default protagonist. To me, he is just as recognizable as the bubble cow. Sans the FOMT remake, I don't think he's been a playable character for quite a long time now (A decade+) and I haven't seen any merchandise. So what is his role now? What format do you think he'll return? NPC? Playable? Or do you think he'll be doomed to throwback custom outfits and anniversary artwork? I understand the customization issue but damn, I miss this little guy.

Didn't see any screenshots anywhere so I thought I'd share mine

Easily miss-able because well.. who's fainting in Romana's room? You're playing a different game...

Dialogue is different in HMDSC too! Unsurprisingly, Vesta is so mean. There's also exclusive dialogue for your spouse. I'm really curious about Keira's marriage faint dialogue, if anyone has it. Thomas steals as much money as the WP.

I left out the Kassey Brothers, WP, HG, Guts, Cody, Flora, and Takakura from this comp. Minus Murray/Thomas. HG dialogue isn't dependent on whether she's frozen or not.. our hero!

Edit; Here's a few I missed! Save your time!

Nami (married); Ned! Hang in there! How embarrassing! Honestly..

Barney; Ned... what's wrong? Is everything okay? I'll take you home.

HG: Ned.... Oh no. This is terrible. I'll get you home.

Fate of Pete - do you think he'll return?

Obscure HMDS Fainting Dialogue - love the interactivity!
