Your new life in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town doesn't need to be lonely as there are ten different NPCs that you can date and eventually marry if you want to. Romancing these characters is not restricted by gender, so you can pursue any romance of your choice.
One of the eligible bachelors available is Ralph, the Olive Town forest ranger. In order to romance Ralph, you'll need to raise your Friendship Level with him by talking to him every day and giving him gifts. Each time you gain a heart on the Friendship gauge, you can view one of his Heart Scenes by going to a set location. Here's everything you need to know about dating Ralph.
Ralph's Location and Preferences
Known Locations: Ranger Station, Olive Town Hall, or in the northern forest area near the shrine. (You can check on your map to see his exact location at any given time.)
Gift Preferences:
- Favorite: Pot-au-Feu
- Loves: Yellow Potage, Shellfish Soup, Bread
- Likes: Winter Bloom Rondo, various Perfumes
Any of the jewelry items sold in the General Store are always well received.
Ralph's Heart Scenes
Once you have filled each heart in your Friendship Level gauge, you can trigger a Heart Scene by going to a specific location or giving a specific item.
We don't want to spoil the contents of each Heart Scene for you, so instead, we'll tell you where to visit to trigger each one. Some scenes contain dialogue choices with the chance of increasing your Friendship Level further.
If you are already in the location for the scene when you fill the heart, such as already in the forest area, you may need to leave and then re-enter in order to trigger it, or leave Olive Town entirely and then re-enter. Additionally, sometimes you have to wait until the next day in order to trigger the scene or give the confession/proposal item.
