Ranch Story: Land of Beginning) is the second Harvest Moon game released for the Nintendo 3DS, and the first to be Nintendo 3DS exclusive.

Plot

Once a thriving town, Echo Village is almost empty after the inhabitants lost everything in a poor economy. Your parents recently offered you a chance to renovate the abandoned family farm, but reviving a successful ranch requires rebuilding the town. Can you find the materials and blueprints that allow you to create the best community in the land?

After you have completed the game's main storyline, you will be able to change the name of the town.

Marriage Candidates

Bachelors

  • Allen - A hair stylist.  He will change your hairstyle for 3,000 G. Making friends with the villagers can unlock new styles inspired by them.  He has traditional values when it comes to relationships.
  • Amir - A prince from a far away land.  You must be on Town Renovation Plan #5 to unlock him.
  • Neil - You can buy livestock and items from him to help you tend to your animals.  When you talk to him, he seems standoffish.  Does he really value animals much more than people? 
  • Rod - A pet store keeper. He is generally very optimistic. He can be seen as the polar opposite of Neil.
  • Sanjay - Amir's faithful and loyal butler. He speaks and addresses people politely. Mind your manners to impress him!
