With the looming deadline of getting married by the end of Year 1, players interested in having a male spouse should explore the options among the four eligible bachelors: the farmhand Matthew, the laid-back Rock, the artistic Gordy, and the easygoing Gustafa.

But as the virtual love stories unfold, a surprising twist has charmed the hearts of players.

Gustafa Charms His Way to Story of Seasons Players’ Hearts

One notable aspect that sets Gustafa apart from the rest is his dialogue. While characters like Matthew display a lack of consideration with lines such as “I’m a terrible cook. You cook something,” Gustafa’s gentle nature shines through. He claims to have culinary skills and shows genuine appreciation for any dish his spouse prepares for him. These small gestures endeared Gustafa to players, making him the top choice for the title of best husband.

Interestingly, the dialogue differences between Matthew and Gustafa don’t end there. In the original A Wonderful Life, all the husbands had an odd fridge line. They even ask the player to stock the fridge as part of the chapter 2 start cutscene, which leaves a bitter taste right after a heartwarming moment with their child. However, in Story of Seasons, it appears that only Matthew carries this off-putting line, making him come across as less desirable in comparison.

The revelation of Gustafa’s status as the best husband has ignited a flurry of reactions among players. Many have taken to the comments, expressing their adoration and allegiance to Gustafa. Quotes like “Pat Gustafa, hold Gustafa, cherish Gustafa, forfeit all mortal possessions to Gustafa” and “Gustafa is truly a king, a sweetheart, the owner of my heart” fill this virtual space where players gather, emphasizing the profound impact this character has made.
