Changes: Neil (ANB)

Revision as of 08:33, 8 April 2013

Neil is an eligible bachelor in Harvest Moon 3DS: A New Beginning.

Neil understands animals a lot better than he does humans, and may come off as a reserved and cold character upon first impression. Deep down, he longs for companionship, and wants more friends to share his passion of animals with. He's good friends with Rod, and the two often discuss pets and farm animals.

Neil will move into town on the 9th day of Spring of the first year, and will give the player his/her first cow. After that, he moves in as a permanent resident. His home is next to Hana's shop, and he sets up his animal store Mondays through Thursdays from 10AM to 6PM in the village.

Heart Events

Hard-Working Black Heart Event

Go to Neil's house between the hours of 6:00 am to 9:30 am on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday in any weather while you are playing as the girl main character and you have 5000 Friendship Points or more with Neil and he is inside his house.


Neil: Like I said, it was a mistake to sell it to you! Customer: Hah! Some shopkeeper you are! I'll never buy animals from you again! Neil: That's fine by me. I'll never sell animals to someone like you again! Customer: Gah... what a waste of time this was. Customer (to MC): Hey, out of my way! I'm leaving! Neil: Oh, it's you. What do you want? This has nothing to do with you. Just leave me alone. Don't make that face! You're acting like I was picking on you. Okay, okay. You win. You'll leave me alone if I tell you about it, right? That guy with the bad attitude who was in here before is a customer of mine. He came to complain about a cow I sold to him. You want to know why? It seems the cow I sold him got sick. He seems to think that I sold him a sickly cow on purpose. I asked him how he's been looking after the cow, and it turns out he's been treating it really badly. So it quickly descended into a fight. Pretty bad of him, right? He's gone now, anyway so everything's okay. MC: You're not much of a businessman (Bad answer) -2000 FP What about the sick cow? (Good answer) +3000 FP Neil: Huh? What was that? Argh, you're right! I need to give some medicine to the poor thing or it'll be done for! How could I overlook that? Right, if I run, I can still make it! Neil: Phew, I'm worn out! What, you're still here? Huh? You want to know what happened? I took some animal medicine to him, that's what happened. I also gave him advice on how to better look at the cow. It might not make a difference but at least I tried. What're you smiling for, eh? T-Thanks for that, anyway. If you hadn't been here I don't think I'd have given that poor cow a second thought. I was so angry! Y-You've got work to do, too, right? Go on, get out of here! I'm busy too. See you later. (You end up in your farmhouse after the Heart Event.)

The True Neil Purple Heart Event

Go in Neil's house during 6:00 am to 9:30 am on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday in Sunny weather while you are playing as the girl main character and Neil has a purple heart color or higher, you have seen the black heart event, the Cottage has been built, and Rod has been unlocked.


Neil is inside his house Rod: Hello, MC. Are you here to see Neil too? I was walking my dog and dropped in to see him on my route. Neil's inside the house. I'm going home to pick up something I forgot. See you later. MC nods and Rod leaves. MC has question mark over head as Neil has little hearts over his while talking to a dog Neil: Hey, you're a cutie, aren't you! Rod's just gone to get something he forgot. Don't worry, we'll wait for him to come back together more hearts Hey, wait! Hold on! Dog walks over to MC, Neil has an exclamation point and both go "..." Neil: H-Hey, how long have you been there for? You s-surprised me! Walks over to MC Fess up, how long have you been standing there? You didn't see...see any of that, did you? - I just got here - I saw you playing with the dog Neil: Good. Forget I said anything. Rod left me here with his dog. Not for too long, just a little while. I've got a lot of other things to do, though! I don't have time for this. MC goes "..." then has a music note Neil: In fact, I was just about to go and drop his dog off back at Rod's house. Do you want to come along? MC nods Neil: Let's go then. Come on, doggy. We're not leaving you behind. Dog barks and it switches to Rod in his house alone Rod: There it is! Right, I'd better get back to Neil's place. MC, Neil, and the dog walk in Rod: Hey? What are you doing here? I was just about to come back over. Neil: I'm bringing your dog back. A dog needs a master, after all! I can't do you favors all day long! 'Rod: Exclamation point over his head What're you talking about? You're the one who said you'd look after my dog while I came back to get this. Neil: Enough double talk! I've no idea what you're talking about! Here's your dog back. I'm going home! See you later, both of you. Neil leaves and MC and Rod go "..." Rod: What's up with Neil? MC has music notes and waves around arms Rod: You saw him playing with my dog? I guess he was embarrassed at getting seen. He must know you saw him and came here to hide his embarrassment. He's got a bit of a sharp tongue so it can be hard to tell, but he's actually a really kind guy. MC nods and Rod has music notes Rod: I'm glad that he's got someone else who understands him now, anyway. I guess this sounds a little odd coming from me, but I hope you'll be a good friend to Neil. MC nods

Neil: "Hi there, (name). Perfect timing. There's something I've been meaning to ask you. Hmm.. It's a little difficult to tell you here. Let's head for the mountaintop. ... Ah, I've been staring at you. My bad. Um... Well, (name), so is there anyone you're interested or want to, you know, go out with? I-If not, then maybe I could be that guy?" Say you want him as your boyfriend (Good answer) Neil: "I-I see. I suppose that means we'll try dating each other. But... I don't really really have any idea how to proceed from here. Ah, yes. Don't people normally change what they call each other at times like this? Can't really think of anything myself right now. How about you? Do you want me to call you something else?" Keep it Change it Neil: "Is (nickname) okay with you? All right, I've got it. Call me what you wish. But no funny names! Okay? Well, it seems that's decided. I'll be heading home now. See ya, (name/nickname)." Turn him down (Bad answer) -3000 FP and +5 AP Neil: "... I see. Understood. Sorry for saying something strange like that. Don't worry I won't be asking anything like that again. I'm going home. See ya."

Neil: "Wah, it's you, (name/nickname)? You really surprised me! Is everything okay? Good, glad to hear that. Sorry if I surprised you. I was just about to head out. I've had a little trouble, to tell you the truth. I was going to just take a walk and clear my head. Do you want to come with me, (name/nickname)?" I don't really feel like it (Bad answer) -2000 FP +1 AP Neil: "Okay, I understand. I'm still going to go, so can you get out of my house, please? Sorry. See you later. I'll go with you Neil: "Let's go. I'll take you to a really special spot today. (Name/Nickname), this way. Come on, move it! Get up here! It feels great! What? I'm too fast? Not at all! You're too slow, (name/nickname)! Oh come on, I'm just kidding! No need to get all angry. This is my special spot. Take a look. Look at that raging water! Really feels great to look at, doesn't it? When I'm here I can forget everything bad and just relax. You understand what I mean, right (name/nickname)?" What bad things? (Bad answer) -2000 FP +1 AP Neil: "You want me to remember it? After I've finally forgotten it? Surely there can't be any fun to be had listening to other people's troubles? I'm happy to have my girlfriend worried about me, but don't push me too hard, okay? Argh, that's ruined my good mood again. Let's go. Thanks for coming all the way out here with me. It cheered me up. I'm just going to forget my troubles, and please, you forget all this too. Right, I'm off." I understand totally. (Good answer) +3000 FP Neil: "I knew you would! That's why we're together, (name/nickname)! Something fun did happen the other day, actually. Let me tell you about it. Phew... I feel better for having talked like this with you. I feel so much better! You enjoyed yourself too, did you? I'm glad to hear it. Hey, (name/nickname). You really do understand me pretty well, don't you? Thanks for not asking for any details. That made me really happy. If I'm worried about anything else, can I come see you? Your smile really helps to cheer me up. G-Great, thanks. You can come and see me, too, if you ever need to. I'll make you laugh. Shall we head home, anyway? I'll walk you back to your house. Let's go, (name/nickname)."

Heart Dialog

Sayings

"I like scarecrows 'coz they don't talk."

"I stocked up on animals to sell to you. All the good ones, you'll see.
Take care of them on your farm. I'm counting on you, MC."

Eating

"Man, I'm starting to get full. I always think I can eat it, and then end up making too much."

Asleep

"...nnn... you guys... be good... today... good girl... good girl..."

About Moving

"I don't mind moving house. But I have animals, so it might be quite a chore."

Summer

"A clear day is fine, but heat like this is enough to dry you out! Why can't it be just a bit cooler?"

Working

"If you're just looking, feel free to leave. if you actually want an animal then look all you want."

Wearing Red Eastern Dress

"Whoa. what's with that get-up?! Your legs are all exposed! Huh? You think it's cute? *blushes*

I mean, that's not the problem... Well, it is real cute, and the color looks good on you... Yeah, so all the more... ! Don't go you walking around in that! Why? Because I said so!"

Festivals

Crop Festival, Beginner, Win

Vegetable

I wonder what makes these vegetables great?
I only know about animals...
Even the crops that won seem normal to me.
I suppose people could look at my animals and say the same thing.

Crop Festival, Advanced, Win

So I guess you're some sort of master?
You just waltzed in and won at the toughest level. I'm kind of surprised.

Vegetable

I wonder what makes those vegetables great?
I only know about animals...
Even the crops that won seem normal to me.
I suppose people could look at my animals and say the same thing.

Flower

What? No, I'm not mad.
Which veggies don't I like? What are you talking about?
Why don't you go talk to someone else about this stuff?

Cooking Festival

Intermediate Fried and Boiled, Win

Can you hear all those stomach growling at the Cooking Festival?
I guess I can understand why people might get hungry. Me, though? Nah, I'm not that kind of guy.
..Huh? *blushes*

You say you heard it just now? My stomach's not growling! That's got to be yours.

Wow... You're pretty good, MC.
You're better than I'd thought.

I like the kind of cooking where you just cut something up, throw it in the pot, and then wait for it.
Most of the dishes I cook are like that.
If you put time into cooking, might as well put time into raising animals, too.

Cow/Chicken Festival

Cow

Hey MC. Are you taking your cows to the Animal Sanctuary?
The Animal Sanctuary is like a resort for your animals. Whether they go or not can make all the difference.
If you are aiming to win in the advanced class with the best milk you should take them as often as possible.

If it has been at my place even once, I can recognize a cow's face in a single glance.
Actually, I can so the same with other animals, too.
No matter how short the time they're with you, if you take care of animals, they stick in your memory.
It's the same way with people, isn't it? You don't easily forget someone you've spent the day with.

Chicken

Chickens are pretty naive animals.
If you don't put them to bed properly and let them wake up in the morning, they won't lay eggs.
If you leave them outside and the don't lay eggs the next morning, you can't complain.

I feel reassured that you are looking after them properly. If there is something you don't understand, ask me.
Just because you don't know something doesn't mean the chickens deserve to be poorly taken care of.

Beginner, Lose

You can't have been trying hard enough if you lost in the beginner class.
All the other contestants worked like crazy. Just because it's the beginner class doesn't mean winning is easy.

Beginner, Win

You're not half bad, MC. Well, it's just the beginner class. I'm not surprised you won.

Flower Festival

What's with the flowers all of a sudden? The Flower Festival...? Okay, if you're giving them to me, I'll take them.

Music Festival

Listing to others play music made me want to play my instrument again.
What? Can I play an instrument? Well, not that great, but I can play the guitar ok.

Pumpkin Festival

Isn't this a kid's festival? So why...? But I feel like eating sweets today. Listen, I just feel like it. Okay? So don't bring me this on any other days!

Fireworks Festival

Come to think of it, why are fireworks a regular event in summer?
I don't see any problem with having fireworks in other seasons...

The sound of fireworks really shakes your body, doesn't it?
My heart jumps every time they go bang. I wonder why...

The fireworks were quite good. It is a little sad that they ended so quickly...

Toni kept shouting "bravo" and "thank you" at the fireworks...
I wonder why. It's not as if they can understand.
Or can they? They're not alive, are they? Haha, that's impossible... right?

New Year's Eve

That pot looks like the right size for so many people.
Festivals have gotten livelier since the time you came, MC.
That's a good trend, yeah? ...I have my own work to do, regardless of how many people live here.
