The townspeople of Forgotten Valley in Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life offer a fun feature where players can interact with them. There are various surprises and events that players can enjoy with the NPCs throughout the valley, and by earning their favor, even more opportunities become available. To earn their favor, players must engage in conversations, fulfill Bulletin Board Requests, and present them with gifts.
Giving gifts is a simple way to enhance both romantic and platonic relationships with the residents of Forgotten Valley. However, each person has their own preferences, and what might be considered undesirable to one person could be a cherished treasure for another. Therefore, we have compiled a comprehensive guide to gift-giving in A Wonderful Life. This guide includes instructions on how to give gifts and provides a list of each character's preferences.
How to Give Gifts in A Wonderful Life
In Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, both the farm and town grow over time. As players interact with the NPCs in the village, they will witness their personal growth and experience various events together. By getting closer to these characters, players can trigger specific events that enhance the overall storytelling and gameplay. The most effective way to improve relationships and increase affection levels is by giving residents their favorite gifts.
To give a gift, players need to equip it from their inventory and show it to the intended person. Almost everything in the inventory can be used as a gift, except for tools. However, there is no guarantee that the recipient will accept the gift, as each NPC has their own distinct personality and preferences. It's worth noting that players can change their minds if they accidentally show a gift to someone or decide they don't want to give it away.
