Marvelous has now sent out another round of details about PoPoLoCrois Farm Story, which cover quests, StreetPass, and characters. View the full batch of information below.

Quests

During your adventure, you’ll come across a number of people in need of your help. By resolving their requests, you’ll be able to earn various items as an expression of their gratitude. Quests include taking out monsters, harvesting crops, etc.

StreetPass

StreetPass is a supported feature that will work as you progress through the story. When passing other players, you’ll receive “Treasure Maps” from them. By heading to the location pin-pointed on the map, you’ll be able to find items that will prove useful on your adventure.

You’ll be able to talk to, present gifts to, and communicate with the girls of the towns and villages you come across during your adventure. Making friends with these girls will have its benefits. For example, you can get special items that will help both on your journey and on your farm. These girls will also help look after your crops while you’re away.
