If you wish to continue courting Jin, the top four responses are all appropriate responses. Any positive answer will make Jin very happy! He will offer to walk you home, and the event will end. If you don't show up to meet Jin, he will be very sad the next time you talk to him, and will remind you that you forgot something important. It will take a little while to regain lost hearts.
Proposal (9 Heart Event)[]
After Jin reaches nine hearts, you are able to propose to him. If you have a Blue Feather, showing it to him will result in a proposal event, if all other marriage requirements have been met.
If he wants to accept your feather, he will ask to talk more privately. You'll be automatically transferred to the Church Grounds, where Jin will tell you that wants you by his side, always. You are very important to him, and of course he wants to marry you. Any response you give will be positive.
You'll then both go to Town Hall to speak with Hamilton, who'll congratulate you both on the news. You will be asked when to schedule the wedding and Hamilton will set a date. The date is randomized and can be as early as next day, or later on in the week.
Wedding[]
On wedding day, you will wake up in the morning and will be automatically transported to the church. You will meet your fiancée here, along with wedding guests. At wedding ceremonies, the bride's/groom's family will always appear. Hamilton will appear in every wedding cut scene, and Perry will always be there to make the wedding official.
When Perry asks if you promise, answering with "no" will result in Perry asking again.[3] You will be forced to answer with "yes," and once you do, the marriage will be official! Hamilton will present you with a Honeymoon Ticket that you can use after the ceremony. Simon will always take a photo which can be showcased in your home. After the ceremony you will be automatically transported back home.
At home, your spouse will now live with you permanently. There is nothing to do after the wedding, and you will automatically be brought to a new day. Your wedding ring is now available as an accessory through your dresser, although wearing it is optional.
Married Life[]
Your spouse will make you a lunch every morning. Depending on how many hearts they have, the quality of the lunch will change. Your spouse can also help you with chores around your farm, which include fishing, mining, watering, harvesting, picking weeds, milking, brushing, and egg/silk collecting. Your spouse's personality depends on what chores they'll be better at.[4] Jin's preferred chores are: Watering, Egg/Silk collecting and Foraging. You must select a chore to do in between 6:00 and 7:00, or else your spouse will go out on their own during the day.
You can take your spouse for a walk. This is a way to spend time with your spouse, and their heart points will increase from it. Your spouse's birthday is also a date you'll need to remember, as you can celebrate their birthday by giving them a gift during the day, or by entering your house after 18:00.[5] Your spouse may still go out and do things that they did before you married them, but they will always return in the evening.
For Date Festivals, your spouse would not ask you to bring them to the festival a day prior. Instead, you attend the festival with them via out on a walk (along with any child(s) you have at that moment). You can also take pictures with your spouse when you talk to Simon for 100G each.

Anissa says she'll come back later, but Jin says he wants to look at her because she's looking pale! After some convincing, Anissa agrees to be looked at. She says that Jin is so persistent, and that she's fine. Jin says he's persistent because he cares about her, which causes Anissa to leave blushing.
5 Heart Rival Event
If you're playing as a female, Anissa will come to your house at five hearts. She confides in you about her crush on Jin. Because the two of you are friends, she asks for your advice. An option to encourage her to pursue her crush will become available, but if you want to marry Jin yourself, discourage her. Encouraging Anissa will make her relieved, and you can continue to work towards the couple's heart events.
The same event happens if the player is playing as a male character, except that the player will need to befriend Jin.
Proposal (7 Heart Rival Event)
When Jin/Anissa is at 7 hearts, the final event can be seen at the Choral Clinic in between 10:00 and 20:00. The previous events must have been witnessed.
Jin isn't feeling well, and Anissa has come to see how he's feeling. After all, even a doctor needs somebody to take care of them every once in awhile. Anissa has made soup, and Jin makes a comment that Anissa seems to enjoy taking care of him. As she goes to leave, Jin says he wants Anissa to keep coming back. She says that she'll be back tomorrow, but Jin means that he wants her to marry him! She catches the hint, and nods in approval.
Wedding
Two weeks after the seven heart event, Jin and Anissa will have their wedding ceremony. You will get a letter in your mailbox from Jin and Anissa asking if you will attend their wedding. The date will be on the invitation, as well as the time. Wedding ceremonies are always at 10:00.[8]

Jin says that the bird is patched up, and will be healed in full in no time! The bird will need to rest overnight, so Jin will ask you to return the next day.
Return and talk to Jin the next day. He will say that the bird was putting flowers on the grave of his previous owner who passed away. The bird is now in full health and so the two of you set the bird free. The next Thursday following the event, you can visit Mary's grave in the graveyard. Examining it will cause the bird to return.

Taylor and Chloe have come into the Clinic and are now jumping on the beds and causing trouble. Irene walks in and tells the children to stop jumping on the beds. The kids think it's a game and tell Irene to catch them. Irene eventually gets tired and frustrated trying to chase the children. Feeling clever, the kids decide that they can outrun Chloe's grandpa too! They head to the Blacksmith's to cause trouble at Ramsey's.

The children become upset.. of course both Taylor and Chloe like Ramsey and Irene! They just want to be paid attention to every once in awhile, they don't want their elders to sit around all day!
Jin overhears the commotion and comes to neutralize the situation. He makes everybody apologize to one another, and the misunderstanding is resolved.
Family Events[]
Marital Argument[]
To witness this event, the player must lower Jin's Hearts to 10 Hearts after marriage.
In the morning, instead of the usual meal preparation, Jin would be grumpy in the kitchen instead. As you approach him, He reveals that he doesn't want to talk to you, and wishes you to give him some time alone.
Once you have successfully bring your Hearts with Jin to 12 Hearts and above, Jin will approach you in the morning saying she wants to make up and apologize to you. He reiterates that she's mad when you ignores her, and asks you if you still love him.
You have 3 ways to answer him:
- I love you. (+3 Hearts and a kiss)
- Of course I do. (+2 Hearts)
- You should already know. (+1 Heart)
The best option would be "I love you.", which significantly deepens your bond with Jin. No matter which option is chosen, Jin would go back to making you meals in the morning like before.
First Child Request[]
Once you have gained a Level 3 House and garnered at least 14 Hearts with Jin, he will ask you whether you are ready for kids. If you reply him positively, he will then ask you which gender do you want your first child to be. If you let him pick the child's gender, he would reply that he wants a boy.
After you have decided on your child's gender, it would take a minimum of 14 days for the child to be born (provided no other important events are listed on that day).
Birth of First Child[]
On the morning of the delivery day, Jin would sense that the child is coming, then asks you to hang in there so he can bring you to Irene.
At the clinic, Jin tries his best to calmly ask the player to listen to him and stay calm, as he would be right beside her. However, Irene decided to send Jin out of the room, even though he is the town doctor...as the delivery procedure is about to begin. For what seems like an eternity, Jin nervously ruminates and meanders around the door, awaiting for the good news from Irene and his wife. Finally, he heard the sound of a loud newborn crying from within the room, and he finally enters the room yet again.
The delivery went without a hitch! Irene confirms the gender of your newborn, while Jin excitedly raises the baby in his arms. He then thanks you, then asks if you have decided on a name for your first child. As you mutter the name of your child to Jin, he agrees that it was a beautiful name for both of your child. Irene then said she would send a baby crib to your home and asks both of the newly minted parents to sleep well tonight.
As the room is once again left for your family, JIn asks you how both of you should raise your child. Once you have shared your ideals of how to raise the child, Jin once again reassures the player that the 3 of them would work together to build a family. Exhausted, The player then rests her eyes after her tiring delivery experience.
Once the cutscene ends, you would be teleported back to your home at 8pm the same day. Your child can be found near your bed, inside their baby crib. You can pick him up, play the rattle with him, or show him to other folks in town including Jin. The theme of the house would also change as you now have more family members in the farmstead.
Jin's Birthday[]
On Winter 26th after marriage, you can have a birthday party with Jin any moment you give her a gift. If you have any kid(s), they would also celebrate Jin's birthday. Jin will have different reactions depending on the gift you give him.
The birthday party will take up the whole day, so it is recommended to trigger it once you are done with your daily chores and errands. The event will end at midnight once the cutscene is over.
First Child Crawl Event[]
Two weeks after your child is born, they will learn how to crawl while growing in size with hair and eye color becoming more apparent with features of Jin (Black hair and Grey Eyes). Baby boys will wear a green jumper with a cat hat, while baby girls wear an orange jumper with a rabbit hat.
Upon being given a choice to make with this stage, the first option will lead to a Studious personality type; while the second option will lead to a Fiery or Timid personality. You can sooth your baby at this stage if they are crying. As in Newborn Stage, you will still be able to pick up your child if you leave the house.
First Child Walk Event[]
Two weeks after your child learns to crawl, they will start to walk. Changes start to become slow at this point in your child's growth. Apart from learning to walk and slowly growing up, nothing significant changes. The same interactions apply as the Crawling stage.
You will get another personality choice: the first option will lead to a Studious personality type; while the second option will lead to a Fiery or Timid personality. This is the most recognizable personality type choice, as it deviates from the regular personality changes.
First Child Talk Event[]
The talking stage happens two weeks before they are fully-grown. In the Japanese version, when your spouse asks what you'd like to be called, you will prompted to pick an option. You can actually choose what your child will call you the casual "Mom"/"Dad" or formal "Mother"/"Father". This option is absent from Western versions; your spouse will only ask what you'd prefer to be called, but you don't get to choose.
You will also get a final personality choice: the first option would lead to Fiery or Quiet personality type; while the second choice would result in a Studious personality type.
Birthday Celebration[]
On the morning of your birthday, Jin would give a hint for you to come home early that day. Return home at 6pm to get a Birthday Party thrown by Jin (and your kids if you have any) to celebrate your birthday. He would give you a Birthday present, even though it won't be anything outstanding, the thought itself is ultimately what matters. Your kid(s) would also give you a flower if they are present too.
After the cutscene is over, you'll find yourself at your home at midnight.
First Child fully grown[]
The child will be fully-grown two weeks after they learned to talk. From this point on, you can interact with them by gift-giving and talking, and there will be events with children.
Upon waking up in the morning on the day they grow up, a cut-scene of your family getting ready going to Simon's Photography Studio to take photos will play. Before that, there is a cut-scene of them visiting Perry. The picture is automatically put into your album and can be displayed at your house. The same scene when your second child is born will happen, but with both children.
Afterwards, Hamilton will give you a Child's Bed so your children will now sleep in the second bedroom of house. You will also be able to dress your children through the dresser. Each gender comes with two default outfits to choose from and additional clothing can be purchased from Sonata Tailoring and Shelly during New Year's Eve Event. Different genders will wear different clothing and cannot be shared.
Wedding Anniversary[]
On every Wedding Anniversary, you can trigger a cutscene after 18:00 by entering your home to be greeted by Jin and your kid(s) (if any). You would be asked to guess what day is it by your family member(s). A correct answer would raise 1 Heart with Jin, while the wrong answer would decrease 1 Heart with Jin and end the event immediately.
The family would gather around for a Heartful Dinner, note that the event would differ if you have kid(s). The event would end with Jin kissing you good night.
Missing Child[]
Part 1[]
This event only occurs once with your first child only when they have 4 hearts. It takes place the entire day and will last until 8pm.
In the morning, Jin is afraid that your child is missing. The latter was gone when they woke up in the morning and did not tell anybody where they were going. At night, your child still has not returned, making their parents worried. As Jin is about to go out looking for the child, they suddenly return much to their parents' worry.
Part 2[]
The second part will trigger after viewing the first part with your child having 8 hearts. It takes place the entire day and will also last until 8pm.
The same situation will happen, except Jin will lecture them and asks why they came home so late. A baby fox got separated from its mother, so your child was only trying to help reunite them. They neither realize how late it was nor mean to make you worried. The player and Jin will be relieved that their child returned home safe.
Second Child Request[]
Once you have garnered at least 16 Hearts with Jin, he will ask you whether you are ready for another kid. If you reply him positively, he will then ask you which gender do you want your first child to be. If you let him pick the child's gender, he would reply that he wants a girl this time.
After you have decided on your child's gender, it would take a minimum of 14 days for the child to be born (provided no other important events are listed on that day).
Child Nurse[]
This event will last the entire day and trigger when your first child has 6 hearts.
Rather than the usual gameplay that normally starts, the player will remain in the bed feeling unwell. Their child is worried and asks how they are feeling. Jin will reassure their first child, saying that they will take care of their sick parent and not to worry. However, their child will insist that they can care for their sick parent. The player will finally wake up at 8pm, where they begin the gameplay that they missed during daytime. The child would gain +1 Heart from this event.
Birth of Second Child[]
Same as the previous event with your first child, the player will wake up one morning requesting to be admitted to Choral Clinic as the baby is due. After the brief cutscene where your second child is born, you go through the same personality check to determine the child's personality. On a side note, the dialogue mostly are the same except the addition of the very last line as shown here.
Once the cutscene ends, you would be teleported back to your home at 8pm the same day. Your child can be found near your bed, inside their baby crib. You can pick them up, play the rattle with them, or show them to other folks in town including Jin and your first child.
Child's Birthday[]
Besides yours and your spouse's, your children also have birthday celebrations. Go into your house after 6:00 pm to start the celebration. Unlike the adult birthdays, the kids want presents on their birthday. At the start of the birthday dinner you will be prompted to pick an item out of your rucksack for your birthday boy or girl.
If you do not give your child a present, shame on you! You will lose affection with your child (and spouse, for being such a party-pooper).
Child's Cold[]
This event will trigger when Jin has 14 hearts or less and your first child has zero hearts. You will wake up to Jin panicking that your child looks ill. He will ask to call in Irene. Irene will come to check up on your child. Irene then declares that your child just caught a cold and needs rest. She will then advise you to keep an eye on your child's health. Jin will then thank Irene and care for the child with you until night. This event will end at 8pm and then player can resume their day as normal.
The irony that Jin can't cure his son as he is a Doctor though...lolz!
Second Child Crawl Event[]
Two weeks after your child is born, they will learn how to crawl while growing in size with hair and eye color becoming more apparent with features of Jin (Black hair and Grey Eyes). Baby boys will wear a green jumper with a cat hat, while baby girls wear an orange jumper with a rabbit hat.
Once again, upon being given a choice to make with this stage, the first option will lead to a Studious personality type. The second option will lead to a Fiery or Timid personality. You can sooth your baby at this stage if they are crying. As in Newborn Stage, you will still be able to pick up your child if you leave the house.
The main change for this event is that your first child will participate and dance around while you and Jin talk about how the child is gonna turn out, aww!
Second Child Walk Event[]
Two weeks after your child learns to crawl, they will start to walk. Changes start to become slow at this point in your child's growth. Apart from learning to walk and slowly growing up, nothing significant changes. The same interactions apply as the Crawling stage.
You will get another personality choice: the first option will result in a Studious personality type, while the second choice will result in a Fiery or Timid personality type. This is the most recognizable personality type choice, as it deviates from the regular personality changes.
Yet again, your first child would be present to be shocked that the baby can walk now then claps joyfully as you discuss with Jin on how should the child be raised.
Second Child Talk Event[]
The talking stage happens two weeks before they are fully-grown. In the Japanese version, when your spouse asks what you'd like to be called, you will prompted to pick an option. You can actually choose what your child will call you the casual "Mom"/"Dad" or formal "Mother"/"Father". This option is absent from Western versions; your spouse will only ask what you'd prefer to be called, but you don't get to choose.
You will also get a final personality choice: the first option would lead to Fiery or Quiet personality type; while the second choice would result in a Studious personality type.
However, Jin would wrongly call the name of the first child instead in this event, similar to how the name of the Second child is referred by the first child's name when talking to other NPCs in each Child Stage. This is because Natsume did not do localization correctly, which ruins an otherwise perfectly cute event.
Second Child Fully-Grown[]
The child will be fully-grown two weeks after they learned to talk. From this point on, you can interact with them by gift-giving and talking, and there will be events with children.
Upon waking up in the morning on the day they grow up, a cut-scene of your family getting ready going to Simon's Photography Studio to take photos will play. Before that, there is a cut-scene of them visiting Perry. The picture is automatically put into your album and can be displayed at your house. The main difference in this event is that both children will be present as toddlers for the first time.
Afterwards, Hamilton will give you another Child's Bed so your second child will now share a bedroom with the first child. You will also be able to dress your children through the dresser. Each gender comes with two default outfits to choose from and additional clothing can be purchased from Sonata Tailoring Shelly during New Year's Eve Event. Different genders will wear different clothing and cannot be shared.
Child Argument[]
This event triggers when your second child has 4 Hearts, as long as there is at least one rival child that is fully-grown. In the morning, you will awake to find your child crying inside the house. When Jin asks what's wrong, the child will explain that they got into an argument with a rival child. Jin will tell them that fighting is not good, so the two children need to make up.
Festivals (WIP)[]
Jin and your family can attend festivals in Animal Parade, some of them even granting full cutscenes that changes depending on your status with him (Single, Married, Married with one kid, Married with two kids). Below are the various screenshots of the Final version of Jin's Festival Events:
