Marvelous AQL has shared another round of new details and screenshots Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land. This time around, we learn about five of the game’s Harvest Sprites:

Mora:

– Easy-going
– A glutton; loves to eat and can often be seen with food in his mouth
– Often gets scolded by the other Harvest Sprite, Beth, when he steals a bite while she’s cooking

Cust:

– Lives by the elements of hot-blooded, effort, and guts
– Cust always gives it everything he’s got
– Very serious when it comes to not cutting corners

Torque:

– Always calm, composed, and is considered the smartest of the Harvest Sprites
– Knows a lot about everything thanks to studies to rumors about other people
– They even say that he’s so well-informed, that there’s nothing he doesn’t know about the neighborhood
– Unlike Cust, Torque doesn’t seem to have the physical capabilities to accomplish certain work

Flat:

– Honest, kind, and curious
– Takes good care of those around him
– Leader-type who likes going around looking for new buddies
– Likes rare things
– In charge of cleaning a certain spring

Beth:

– Gentle, relaxed, and ladylike
– Can be a bit of a klutz at times
– Always smiling
– You might catch her saying some rough things and shrugging it off with a smile

Shipments for Youkai Watch have surpassed 500,000 units in Japan, Level-5 confirmed today. As of February 16, sales come in at about 424,000 units based on Media Create data. The 3DS game has been seeing a bit of a resurgence on the sales charts as of late and it shouldn’t be too longer before actual sales (not shipments) officially hit the 500,000 mark.
