1.1. What is this Guide about?                             [Guide-About]
*******************************************************************************
This guide is a general Courting, Dating, and Marriage Guide for Rune Factory
2: A Fantasy Harvest Moon. It covers both the Bachelorettes in First Generation
and the Love Candidates in Second Generation.
I hope that, with this guide, you'll be able to discover the many ways you are
able to court each love interest that you can find in this game, and what the
best way to court each of the love interests is.
The information you can find in this guide includes (but is certainly not
limited to) the following:
~ The different ways in which you can court each Bachelorette or Love Candidate
~ Information about the different ways of courting
~ The quests for each Bachelorette and Love Candidate
~ What marriage is like to a Bachelorette in First Generation
~ What "marriage" is like to a Love Candidate in Second Generation
~ The dialogue of each Bachelorette during your marriage to her
*******************************************************************************
1.2. About the Author                                      [Author]
*******************************************************************************
Hello! I am Aera (username otakuAera on GameSpot/GameFAQs). This is my very
first time writing any kind of guide or FAQ, so if you spot some information
that is wrong, or think that I left something out, please don't hesitate to
contact me at: otakuAera@gmail.com
I had originally thought to write down what each Bachelorette says during her
marriage, for my own general amusement. But then I thought, "Maybe other RF2
gamers would like to know what they say, too?" So, I went to the Rune Factory 2
forum on GameSpot, and offered to share the fruits of my labor. To my
astonishment, some people were interested. So, I thought to write a FAQ for
each Bachelorette's dialogue during her marriage.
I then started researching the best way to write a FAQ and how to format it and
such... and I ended up looking at the other guides that GameSpot/GameFAQs has
for Rune Factory 2 for ideas. And I thought that, even though they say who the
Bachelorettes and Love Candidates are, they don't really tell you how to go
about courting them and the fastest/best way to raise their Love Levels.
Ergo, I decided to expand my FAQ into a courting guide, and started contacting
other authors for their opinion on my idea and the best way to go about
producing it.
Thus, I present you with this guide! I hope you enjoy it, and find it not only
informative, but also easy to navigate!
*******************************************************************************
1.3. Guide Structure                                       [Guide-Setup]
*******************************************************************************
The structure of this guide is almost nearly identical to that of Lerion and
Winchu's FAQ/Walkthrough. So, if you're familiar with that, you should know how
this is set up. But, for propriety's sake, I shall explain the setup of this
guide.
Different symbols are used for each level of headers, and each section and
subsection has its own number and a bracketed tag-word for an easy find.
Example 1 - Section Header:             The symbols used for section and
##############################          subsection levels are as follows:
X. Section Name         [Tag]              ~ Level 1: #####
##############################             ~ Level 2: *****
~ Level 3: =====
Example 2 - Subsection Header:
******************************          ~ The tags are located in []; for an
X.X. Subsection Name    [Tag]             easier search, include the [].
******************************          ~ The X represents a number.
Example 3 - Sub-subsection Header:
===================================
X.X.X. Sub-subsection Name   [Tag]
===================================
I'll be using other symbols for various ways of separating information that
don't need to have its own section, but must be separated nonetheless.
Example 1 - Quest Info:                 The symbols used as ways of separating
X. "Quest Name"                         information are as follows:
------------------------------          ~ The - symbol will be used as a means
Information                               of indicating a kind of underlining;
a "below this line is information
Example 2 - table:                        pertaining to the label/word/heading
Heading1 | Heading2 | Heading3            that is above this line."
------------------------------          ~ The ~ symbol will be used as a bullet
Info     | Info     | Info                point.
Info.....|.Info.....|.Info              ~ The . symbol will be used as a way to
Info     | Info     | Info                easily follow information that is
Info.....|.Info.....|.Info                placed in tables.
~ The | symbol will be used as a way to
Example 3 - bulleted list:                separate the columns in tables.
This sentence hints at a list:          ~ The X symbol (used in Example 1 and
~ Information                             4) is to indicate a number.
~ Information                           ~ The * symbol may be used at times. It
will mean that there is extra
Example 4 - dialogue sections:            information about something, and to
Day X - notes                             look at the end of the section for
------------------------------            the extra information. Essentially, a
A: Dialogue                               footnote.
*******************************************************************************
1.4. Vocabulary Used in Guide                              [Guide-Vocab]
*******************************************************************************
Also, for the general purposes of game-terms in this guide, I'll explain what
words I shall use and what I mean when I use those words.
Just to make sure that I'm making myself clear.
First off, I'll be using the generic names that the game gives you for the
hero(s)/main character(s): Kyle, Aria, and Aaron.
Vocabulary/Terms used by Aera:
(And these are alphabetized.)
~ Bachelorette(s): the love interest(s) you encounter in First Generation
(Alicia, Cecilia, Dorothy, Julia, Mana, Rosalind, Yue).
~ beau: (pronounced "bow") just in case any of y'all are confused, or were
wondering... a "beau" is (and I'm going to take this straight from my trusty
dictionary) - "1. A boyfriend or male admirer; 2. a rich, fashionable young
man; a dandy."
~ citizens: see "villagers." They're the same thing. People who live in
Alvarna.
~ contest festival: a festival in which you participate in some kind of
contest.
~ crop: one crop is the mature vegetables/fruits from a single 9x9 square of
farming land; or any vegetable/fruit that you (as Kyle) can grow.
~ Day: the the daytime hours in RF2, which is from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
~ e.g.: this is an abbreviation for "for example."
~ farm plot: a place where you can plant crops. Can either refer to the whole
area where you can farm, or a single 9x9 square of farming land.
~ First Generation: refers to the first part of the game, when you play as
Kyle.
~ Friend Level: see "Friendship Level." Same thing. Used interchangeably for
formatting purposes.
~ Friendship Level: how many friendship points a Bachelorette or Love Candidate
or villager has; which may be abbreviated to FP.
~ FP: "Friend Points." See "Friendship Level" for details.
~ game-: if I ever say something like "game-time" or "game-day," it refers to
the time passing within the Rune Factory 2 game. For example, a "game-minute"
is a real-life second, and one "game-hour" is one real-life minute. Thus, a
"game-day" would be from the time Kyle/Aria/Aaron gets up in the morning
until he/she goes to sleep at night, or simply 24 game-hours. However, "game-
day" may be shortened to simply "day."
~ i.e.: this is an abbreviation for "that is to say," and is "used to add
explanatory information or to state something in different words" (quoted
from a dictionary).
~ liked item: an item that is liked by a love interest or villager.
~ lose/regain control: when you're in "control," it means that you (as Kyle,
Aria, or Aaron) can run around and do stuff; you determine what your game-
self does. Thus, when you "lose control," you have no say in what's
happening, because the game has a set sequence of what happens during that
time. And when you "regain control," it means the game has finished its set
sequence of events, and you can make Kyle/Aria/Aaron run around again.
~ Love Candidate(s): the love interest(s) you encounter in Second Generation,
both female and male (Cammy, Leann, Sera & Serena, Leonel, Orland, Roy).
~ love interest(s): either a single Bachelorette or Love Candidate, or the
Bachelorettes and/or Love Candidates.
~ Love Level: how many love points a Bachelorette or Love Candidate has; which
may be abbreviated to LP.
~ LP: "Love Points." See "Love Level" for details.
~ Monster Drop: the item that you randomly receive upon killing a Monster.
~ Monster Portal: the portal, or gate if you prefer (it looks like a portal to
me), where Monsters come out of.
~ NB: this is an abbreviation for "Nota Bene." It stems from Latin, and it
means "note well." Pay attention whenever you see these - they could note
important things for you to keep in mind.
~ Night: The nighttime hours in RF2, which is from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM.
~ Proposal Item: the item you need in order to propose to a Bachelorette to
marry her.
~ romantic festival: a festival that is specially targeted towards
participation with a love interest.
~ RF2: an abbreviation for "Rune Factory 2," because it doesn't take as long to
type.
~ Second Generation: refers to the second part of the game, when you play as
either Aaron or Aria.
~ spam: to do something a lot (i.e. multiple times) repeatedly in order to gain
points for either FP/LP or experience for levels (e.g. Swordsmanship, Magic,
Cooking, etc.)
~ special event festival: a festival where the villagers stand around the town,
and comment on the day. Nothing particularly exciting happens besides the
festive music (and the confetti, if there is any).
~ villagers: can mean one of two things. In general, when I say "villagers" I
mean "everyone," but the "everyone" can either be "everyone who lives in
Alvarna" or "everyone except the love interest(s)." But for the most part, it
means "everyone who lives in Alvarna, except certain people who I've
mentioned previously (in the section) by name." Hopefully, it'll be clear
which "everyone" it is by the context.
If you feel like there is some term I used that I was not clear on the meaning,
please don't hesitate to contact me! I'll add your term to this list!

2. Explanation of Bachelorettes                            [Expl-Bachelorette]
###############################################################################
Why do I have to deal with Bachelorettes? Why should I have to marry someone?
It's so much effort to get one to love me, why should I even bother? Can't I
just work on my farm, dungeon-dive, kill Monsters, and all that other stuff?
Well, when you're playing as Kyle in First Generation, there's not so many
things for you to do. Yes, you can farm, kill Monsters, raise Monsters, fish,
mine, and throw Fireballs, among other things, but really - compared to what
you can do in Second Generation (which is... uh... two-thirds or more of the
game) - that's not much.
So, the reason you have to deal with Bachelorettes is because, in First
Generation, the Bachelorettes are the main plot. You play as Kyle's child
(Aaron or Aria) in Second Generation, and in order for Kyle to have a child you
have to get married. (Not necessarily true in real life, but in this game, you
must get married to have a child.)
Thus, in order to get to the more exciting part of Rune Factory 2, you have to
marry a Bachelorette and have a child.
The nice thing is, there's seven of them to choose from. And even better, I
think, is that they did a nice job of picking a variety of personalities to
appeal to the largest possible audience. Each Bachelorette has a distinct
personality, and I'm fairly certain that you'll be able to choose one whom you
like best.
So, in order to marry a Bachelorette, you have to raise her Friendship and Love
Levels to 10, get her Proposal Item, and give it to her to propose and get
married.
Then, once you're married, you have to wait until the baby comes. Which,
thankfully, isn't very long. Only... 16 game-days after the wedding.
And once the baby is born, you can convince Byron to build a school. Which gets
built in 10 days, by the way. (I don't know about you, but I think that's an
incredible feat to accomplish.)
ONLY THEN can you go admire the beautiful school you paid to have built and get
to move on to Second Generation to do a whole bunch of other cool stuff.
So. That's what the Bachelorettes are for. They're a stepping-stone to get to
the more fun part of the game.
But don't let that damper your spirits. Courting the Bachelorettes is really
fun! (At least, I find it great fun.)
###############################################################################
3. Explanation of Love Candidates                          [Expl-LoveCan]
###############################################################################
What do you mean, "Love Candidates?" What is this nonsense? I got to get
married in First Generation... why is it I can't do that in Second Generation?!
Why are they even there?!
Whereas the Bachelorettes were the main plot in First Generation, the Love
Candidates are only a side-story for Second Generation. There's only three each
for Aria and Aaron.
Aaron's Love Candidates: Cammy, Leann, Sera & Serena.
Aria's Love Candidates: Leonel, Orland, Roy (and Sera & Serena).
(Sera & Serena are a special case... apparently, they don't really care about
gender, thus you'll be able to have a pretend marriage with them whether you're
playing as Aaron or Aria. However, I believe only Aaron can participate in
love-oriented/romantic festivals with them.)
And no, you can't get married in Second Generation. Why not? You're a child.
Children don't get married. You are SEVEN YEARS OLD, for goodness' sake! Seven-
year-olds don't get married. No, they CAN'T get married. That's just... it's...
it's... It simply isn't done.
However, even though you can't get married, you can still have a fun little
pretend-marriage with your lady or beau of choice.
In order to get to your pretend marriage, you have to raise the Love
Candidates' Friendship and Love Levels, and you must complete all of his/her
quests on the Bulletin Board. It's the last quest you want - in these, you
confess your feelings and have the pretend marriage.
... And that's pretty much it. Love Candidates are there if you ever get bored
of farming, smithing, dungeon-diving, alchemy, cooking, saving the world... and

4. Introduction to Your Loves                              [Intro-Loves]
###############################################################################
In the following sections (4.1 thru 4.3), you'll find descriptions of each
Bachelorette and Love Candidate. Just to try to show what kind of personality
they have, and a little bit about their life in Alvarna.
Other included information:
~ Family (parent(s), sibling(s), etc.; i.e. relatives)
~ Birthday
~ Proposal Item
~ Rival/Default Marriage
~ "Proposal" Quest
I shall explain, by example, how these sections are organized:
Bachelorette Name
------------------------------
Description of the Bachelorette.
Birthday: date of birthday
Proposal Item: the item you need in order to propose to the Bachelorette
Default Marriage: your rival-in-love and the date of the marriage
Relatives:

Love Candidate Name
------------------------------
Description of Love Candidate.
Birthday: date of birthday
"Proposal" Quest: quest name and number that results in the pretend marriage
Relatives:
~ any family members the Love Candidate might have
NB - I'll be including "if" situations. Stuff like, "if PersonA married
PersonB..." etc., etc. Therefore, to make it easier for myself, I'll be using
"m." to mean "marries" or "married to."

marriages, and the "marriage" quests, please go to the following sections:

Alicia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fortune-teller of Alvarna. Her predictions about the weather and people's
locations are always correct, but her Love Readings are another story. She
argues a lot with her mother about her fortune-telling job, and her brother
tries to calm them down every time this happens. She's rather flirtatious, and
it's hard to tell when she's joking or not.
Birthday: Summer 28
Proposal Item: Crystal Ball
Default Marriage: none
Relatives:
~ mother Natalie, the doctor of Alvarna
~ brother Ray
Cecilia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The maid of the De Sainte-Coquille family. She's half-elf, and lives in the
Eagle Inn with Egan (an elf) and his son Jake (half-elf). She came from Kardia
on the advice of her friend Tabatha (also full elf). She enjoys her new life in
Alvarna and is trying to do her best as a maid. Cecilia is glad that she chose
this path, since she is learning a lot at her job and has been able to meet a
lot of new people. She's a bit soft-spoken, but she's a nice girl.
Birthday: Summer 12
Proposal Item: Round Stone
Default Marriage: Jake, Summer 14 Year 2
Relatives:
~ none in Alvarna
~ foster-father Russell, the librarian of Kardia
Dorothy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dorothy is always worrying over her little sister, who is very adventurous and
likes to play in the forest. Very shy, Dorothy doesn't have too much self-
confidence, and she uses her doll Fern to talk about embarrassing things to
people. Her dream is to become a nurse.
Birthday: Winter 2
Proposal Item: Blessing Pendant
Default Marriage: Barrett, Fall 17 Year 3
Relatives:
~ father Gordon, the priest of Alvarna
~ little sister Cammy
Julia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wisdom Bathhouse's owner. Julia is always worried about how she looks -
taking long baths and only eating healthy food. She can get mad easily when
she's in embarrassing situations (but only with Kyle), and because she always
worries about what people think of her, she doesn't want to make anyone in the
town dislike her. Thus, she always puts forth a friendly and helpful demeanor.
Birthday: Spring 16
Proposal Item: Memento Ring
Default Marriage: Max, Winter 11 Year 4
Relatives:
~ none in Alvarna
Mana
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A cheerful, but clumsy girl, she is the first person Kyle meets when he comes
to Alvarna. Mana is responsible for giving you a place to live and work. Her
dream is to be a teacher, and will actually become one when Kyle builds the
school.
Birthday: Summer 9
Proposal Item: Engagement Ring
Default Marriage: none
Relatives:
~ father Douglas, owner of the Pumpkin General Store
Rosalind de Sainte-Coquille
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A very smart and bright girl, Rosalind likes invent new things (some of which
can be a little eccentric), calling you to help test them whenever she needs
to. So it's up to you to do everything she needs to test her new idea, but at
least she pays well and nothing really goes wrong. She also loves to cook, and
is very good at it.
Birthday: Fall 27
Proposal Item: 100-Rose Bouquet
Default Marriage: Ray, Spring 10 Year 3
Relatives:
~ father Herman de Sainte-Coquille, owner of the De Sainte-Coquille Manor
~ brother Max de Sainte-Coquille
~ could possibly be related to Jasper de Sainte-Coquille and his daughter
Bianca, both of whom live in Kardia (I, Aera, am drawing this conclusion, so
this may be wrong)
Yue
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A very talented traveling merchant. Yue can be found walking anywhere in
Alvarna, selling her goods. She's always thinking of how she can get good
business, and travels to different places to learn as much as she can. However,
it doesn't mean that she's cold and distant - she can be a really good friend
and can aide you with help from her contacts in other towns.
Birthday: Spring 9
Proposal Item: Yue Swap Ticket
Default Marriage: none, but she will get married to the respective rival on the
respective default marriage date if you marry Cecilia, Dorothy, Julia, or
Rosalind

Leonel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leonel is Barrett's son. Because of his pretty face and clothing, he's always
