*** Clint loves the exact same selection of gemstones as Emily. It makes sense when you remember his crush on her; he presumably loves them because he can give them to her instead. An alterntative to this is that rare gems are used in decorative pieces in his special weapons that he makes, or more likely, used to grant said weapons magical properties since gems have been proven to do that, explaining why he also loves diamonds.

** George hates or dislikes quartz, clay and other minerals since they remind him of his past as a miner, and how he ended up paralyzed from a mining accident.

*** If it's a waste product, that opens up some fridge {{squick}} in that Krobus is selling you his SolidGoldPoop.



* 1.5 introduces a volcano with actual lava pools, which look more like actual lava (or at least a CoconutEffect version of lava) than the "lava pool" at level 100 of the mines, which is just water colored red. So what is up with the latter? Given that 99% of what you fish up there is literal garbage (which you'd think would burn up if it was tossed in actual lava), it's possible that it really is normal water, miscolored from insane amounts of pollution from all the litter. It would also explain why you only find one species of fish there, and even more rarely than you do fishing in the lava pools in the Volcano Dungeon; only the most robust species of fish can survive in that anymore, and even then they're not exactly thriving.

* Why does Pierre claim he can't beat Joja's cheap prices when they sell seeds more expensive? Easy! As an independent businessman, Pierre can modify his prices ''just for you''. After all, after you've set up you're coming in at the start of every month buying several hundred seeds, his wallpaper catalogue, and backpacks. As for the cheaper cooking goods, that's because he likes you. Morris has no such flexibility as he can only sell at [=JojaMart's=] inflated prices until you have a membership, and even then they're identical to Pierre's.

** Haley likes rice pudding, so she probably learned there and figured she'd try and see if the farmer enjoyed it as well. Alternatively, since she may specify that the food she's gifting you is gluten-free, that may be her primary concern during cooking rather than whether or not she personally likes it.

* The descriptions of both strange dolls consist simply of "???" because they're not actually artifacts. They're licensed merchandise from the ''Wumbus'' film franchise that was either lost or discarded. Since Gunther doesn't know much about popular culture, he has nothing to say about them.

* All of the things Haley will make for you are vegetarian - sure there's a bias towards Pescetarian food (only meat is fish) in general, but the fact that Haley would make Hotpot for dinner is also HeartwarmingInHindsight: It's something she likes, and her sister loves. Perhaps during her CharacterDevelopment, Emily taught her... or maybe she already knew since Bean Hotpot is a liked gift for Haley as well.

* Kent has a friendship cutscene where his PTSD triggers when Jodi makes popcorn for him (because popcorn had been one of his favorite snacks before he went to war). Yet when you take him to see a film at the movie theater, popcorn ''is'' one of his favorite snacks. This actually makes sense when you consider what triggered his PTSD episode--it was the ''sound'' of popcorn being made, which reminded him too much of the sound of guns and explosions on the battlefield. If Kent doesn't have to hear the popcorn being made, then he can still enjoy it.

** Fortunately, hope isn't entirely lost. Stardew Valley does happen to have the Wizard and the Witch present, whose true capabilities in magic are unknown, but could be impressive enough to at least give a battle-hardened navy pause long enough for the Ferngill Republic's own military to respond - and the two exes would hopefully be willing to [[EnemyMine call truce]] in the face of a hostile foreign power disturbing their peace. Additionally, depending on how you handle the Community Center, either the Junimos will be present to support the humans, or Joja, should it have a sufficient presence thanks to you and Morris investing in the town, might use its mountain of wealth to grease the wheels in government and get a military response fast-tracked to protect its interests. Wouldn't stop things from becoming '''''extremely''''' messy, but it might be enough to save the valley from being overrun and/or turned into a crater.

Further, the local Adventurer's Guild, while its members are depleted in the modern day, may have served as a deterrent in the past, and may assist the town in the modern day as well. Wouldn't stop things from becoming '''''extremely''''' messy, messy if the Gotoro Empire ''did'' invade, but it might be enough to save the valley from being overrun and/or turned into a crater.

* Speaking of Jas, some people don't marry Shane just because of that - because if Shane marries the farmer and has (or ''adopts'') kids with them? ''He is essentially abandoning his goddaughter'' to marry the [[GoldDigger richest person in town]]! WhatTheHellHero! Poor Jas would have a ''lot'' of abandonment issues in the future!
* Was Alex's father abusive towards him because of him being an alcoholic... or was it also because he is open to dating and marrying a guy as well?

***Alternatively, Emily is shown to be an AnimalLover, particularly when she nurses a parrot that flew into her window. So it's very possible that her love for animals means that she's a vegetarian; dishes with fish in them would go against her lifestyle.
