1.5 is in the "home stretch", will be "more heavy on the late-game content"

THIS IS GREAT

 

[Princess Roslyn]

aaaa I can't wait!

 

[Jack Of Shades]

The excitement is too much. e_e

New features and options that'll make a fresh start worthwhile? Hm... I'm gonna stick with my guess in the last update thread that we're getting a beach farm map. However, given the fact that options is plural, I'm not sure if the farm map is gonna be the only thing with something new to choose from. What if maybe, just maybe, we're gonna be getting some new marriage and/or roommate candidates? If that's the case, then I can see why it hasn't been mentioned yet. That's one thing that needs to be a surprise! Now, with that being said, I'm gonna wait in my corner and cross my fingers for new content with the Dwarf.

AhAHAHAH

 

[One More Day]

A fresh run is always worthwhile

So parsing the verbiage of the tweet, we've got "home stretch" and "near future" suggesting it's close and "a lot of polishing and bug fixing" suggesting it's not imminent. Add in Thanksgiving and Christmas, and we're probably looking at a window for 1.5's release that spans from the end of this month to January of next year?

When we will get home please call me!

Yeah, I think that's a safe guess. We might be getting a Christmas present! Though it may be a little early or a little late haha

Learned today about the update. It looks amazing, I can't wait but saddly I'll have to, way longer than you btw as my version is the cursed switch japanese physical version that nobody remembers to update :(

 

[Bks]

I haven't played since 1.3. I was going to start over but waiting till 1.5 since it will be here soon. Excited to start a new farm with 2 updates of new material to experience

 

[Breech Loader]

This is totally my incentive to start over with a fresh farm.

I still hate getting married though.

 

[PorkChop]

I never really start new farms but with this new AMAZING 1.5 coming out I will be sure to definitely start a new one. SO EXCITED!

I had a thought; we should be able to tap palm trees for palm oil.

Its from the fruit in real life though.

In a world where eggplant parmesan is made sans cheese, I think we can overlook minor technicalities here and there.

I understand we're getting Banana Trees but I hope we get other crops too.

 

[goboking]

I understand we're getting Banana Trees but I hope we get other crops too.

I'm hoping we also get pineapples that can grow into giant crops a la cauliflower, melons, and pumpkins.

We're getting at least one new crop. In a 1.5 screenshot in another thread, there was something in the Farmer's inventory that looked like ginger.
