The following is taken from my 'Hero of Leaf Valley 1st Year Calendar Events Guide'. At present, all 1st Year Events for about half of the Storylines have been added. I have made certain, however, to include ALL Events for every Storyline that occur in Spring. Where the first Event in any Storyline does not occur until later in the 1st Year, I have added that as well. I hope to have all first Year Events for all of the Story Quests entered in my 1st Year Events Calendar Guide by Monday.
Introduction
‘Hero of Leaf Valley’ has a primary Quest with a strict time limit that must be performed successfully. You must ‘save the land’ from the threat of development by the Funpark Corporation and you must do so by the end of the 2nd Year. Once you succeed in this primary Quest, the game no longer will make further demands upon your Character in terms of time or his activities. There are a multitude of Events that occur after the 2nd Year, but Leaf Valley will be safe from major threats.
There is more than one method by which you can end the threat of development and each has its own storyline. In fact, there are three major solutions to the threat, divided into 16 different specific methods. The most difficult method by which to save the land is to make 50,000G by the end of the 2nd year in order to be able to purchase the land outright from the Funpark Corporation. This is the first Story, entitled ‘Shoot for the Stars: The Greatest Farm in the World!’ It is not sufficient to have the necessary funds in order to succeed, however. You must be able to defeat the series of Robots that are sent into various locations at various times by the Funpark Corporation as well.
In fact, most of the main Events in the ‘Shoot for the Stars: The Greatest Farm in the World!’ will be experienced automatically by your Character, whether or not you have any intention of trying to earn sufficient income to buy the land from the Funpark Corporation. The threat of development of the land by the Funpark Corporation is the main Story of ‘Hero of Leaf Valley’ after all.
The other 15 Storylines fall into one of the two remaining solutions to the threat, which are to transform Leaf Valley either into a Nature Preserve or into a desirable Tourist Destination. In order to succeed in either of these aims, you must complete at least three of the Stories in that caregory. The List of all Storylines is as follows:
Shoot for the Stars: The Greatest Farm in the World!
Tale of the Golden Potato Seed (Nature Preserve)
Tale of the Blue Mist and the Azure Swallowtails (Nature Preserve)
Tale of the Silver Fish (Nature Preserve)
Tale of the Blue Bird (Nature Preserve)
Tale of the Endangered Weasel (Nature Preserve)
The Hundred-Year-Old Cherry Tree (Nature Preserve)
The Secret Fossil (Nature Preserve)
Tale of the Harvest Goddess Dress (Tourist Destination)
Tale of the Cake Contest (Tourist Destination)
Tale of the Horse Race Champion (Tourist Destination)
The Harvest Goddess Temple (Tourist Destination)
Rebirth of the True Harvest Festival! (Tourist Destination)
The Holy Masterpiece (Tourist Destination)
The Legendary Baker (Tourist Destination)
Louis, the Inventor King (Tourist Destination)
In other words, you must complete either three of the 'Tourist Destination' Story Quests or three of the 'Nature Preserve' Story Quests.
Each Storyline has its own Event sequences. Some Events are mandatory and others are optional to the successful completion of the specific Story.
The first Events in any Story Quest often simply 'set up' the Story iinn some fashion. In another Harvest Moon game, they might be termed 'Character Events' or 'Subsidiary Events'. In 'Hero of Leaf Valley', they usually involve the main Character in the Story Quest to which they have been linked but if you fail to experience an Optional Event, you still can pursue and complete the Story Quest, provided you meet all the Requirements for triggering the first MANDATORY Event in the Sequence.
This Events Calendar Guide adds a notation when any Event is Optional. You will see that many of the Events that occur in the first Spring ARE Optional Events. The Main Story Events dealing with Alice that occur in the first Spring are triggered automatically.
The reason I have organised my Events Calendar Guide to include ALL Events for ALL Quests is because some of the Events unlock special new options. For example, you can obtain a Horse from Bob in one of the optional Events connected with the 'Tale of the Horse Race Champion' Events. You can unlock Blue Mist Seeds at Lyla's Shop in one of the Events linked to the Blue Mist and Azure Swallowtail Story.
Some Events are fairly easy to experience if you go to the right location at the right time. Even if you do not wish to commit yourself to the Story Quest linked to the Event, it always is good to give yourself as many choices as possible.
I have created a Walkthrough/General Guide for Hero of Leaf Valley containing information about all general aspects of life, including Farming, Ranching, Mining, Fishing and Social Interactions. Although it contains some basic information about the various Storylines and contains a Calendar of Birthdays and Festivals, it does not give a Schedule of Events.
You will find my Hero of Leaf Valley General Guide at:
http://faqs.ign.com/articles/108/1086817p1.html
In ‘Friends of Mineral Town’, ‘More Friends of Mineral Town’, ‘HM DS’ and ‘HM Cute DS’, there were Events that could occur only in specific years. I therefore created special mini-guides in the form of Events Guides for each Year through the Fifth Year. In ‘Hero of Leaf Valley,’ Events in any of the 16 Storylines are set to occur only on specific dates in the first two years. I therefore have created similar Events Guides for the game. This is the Hero of Leaf Valley 1st Year Events Guide.
The Events Guide takes the form of a Calendar and Events are organised by Season and Date. The Calendar includes Events from all 16 of the Storylines. After the Title of the Event, the specific Storyline is given in brackets. As previously indicated, within any Storyline, some Events are mandatory but others are optional. When an Event is optional, this has been indicated. The time or times when the Event can be triggered, its location and any special Requirements are included as well. Where an Event can occur on more than one Day, it has been entered on the Calendar on the FIRST Day that it can be experienced. Where an Event has specific Weather Requirements, that information has been included.
Please note that any Event that is listed at the Homestead at 6.00 a.m. on any particular Day will occur when you first exit your Farmhouse. If you oversleep, the Event still should occur as soon as you leave the House. 6.00 a.m. therefore simply is the ‘default’ time for the Event.
You can experience Events for more than one of the Storylines in ‘Hero of Leaf Valley’. As the PSP offers multiple save slots, you can save your game at a point where you have not met ALL the requirements for one of the final Events in any Storyline. You then can move forward in new slots towards different endings.
In some cases, experiencing an Event will unlock new options, such as rare Seeds or new areas on the Map. You therefore may wish to experience as many Events as possible, even if you wish to pursue a specific ‘Ending’ in the 2nd Year. Where an Event has a ‘Result’ in terms of unlocking a new option, I have included that information.
A final note about Hero of Leaf Valley. Players who are familiar with ordinary Harvest Moon games have wondered why Heart Events are not given in the 1st Year Events Guide. Hero of Leaf Valley does not have the standard sequence of Heart Events that are included in most Harvest Moon games. Courtship of an Eligible Girl can begin in the first two years of the game, but you will not be able to marry until you have saved the land. Friendship Levels determine many of the Events that will allow you to complete a Story Quest. Those same Friendship Levels can be used later to further your Courtship of a specific Girl.
In HoLV, however, there is a special Courtship Event that may occur after you succeed in your Quest of saving the land. It is a 'Confession' by the Eligible Girl who has the highest FP at that point. As in Another Wonderful Life, you are not given any choice beyond that of choosing to raise Friendship Levels for one Girl higher than the others. Unlike AWL, however, experiencing a Girl's Confession will not obligate you to marry THAT Girl... Once Leaf Valley is saved from the threat of development, you can move forward, courting any Girl you like.
Friendship Level Requirements
When you study the Calendar of Events, you will see that one of the most common Requirements is a specific Friendship Level with one or more Characters.
At the very start of the game, the Harvest Goddess will ask three questions. The responses you choose will boost the friendship of a selected group of Characters in Leaf Valley.
If you give the 'positive' response or first response to each of the three questions of the Harvest Goddess, you will earn +15 FP with the following individuals: the Harvest Goddess herself, Dia, Louis, Bob, Joe, Wallace, Chester and Nak.
If you give the 'negative' or second response to each of her three questions, you will gain +15 FP with Katie, Gina, Kurt, Ronald, Charlie, Renton, Rudolph and Nik.
If you give a combination of positive and negative responses, you earn +15 FP with Gwen, Lyla, Aurelia, Alice, Parsley, Tim, Woody, Martha and Flak.
When a minimum Friendship Level is a Requirement for any Event that occurs in the first Spring and you are determined to experience that Event, you may wish to tailor your Responses to the questions posed by the Harvest Goddess to boost the FP of the Character involved in the Event.
Once you have been introduced to any Character, you can earn Friendship Points with the following actions, among others:
‘Meet and Greet’ an individual to gain +1 FP with him/her
Give an individual an Item he/she likes or loves to gain +1 - +3 FP. If the item is a Most Favourite Gift, it will result in an increase of +3 FP. IF the item simply is acceptable to the Character, you will gain +1 FP. Items that the Character loves but are not ‘Most Favourites’ are worth +2 FP.
Remembering a Character on his/her Birthday with a Most Favourite Gift will result in a gain of +10 FP.
Working Part-Time for local merchants and buying items from their Shops will earn Friendship Points with those Characters. Completing Requests will endear you to the Individuals who make them as well.
The biggest problem in any Harvest Moon game, especially at the beginning, is not lack of money but lack of time. ‘Meeting and Greeting’ every Character on the Map can be extremely time-consuming.
Leaf Valley is not a small Valley. As Renton remarks:
Renton: It takes about half a day to circle around the whole town. It’s a little too big...
I have written about the 'Easy Gifts' for each Character in another post.
