Everyday Hello.
Everyday Hi <Player Name>! Flowers are good! Really!
Everyday Hello. I'm studying about plants.
Everyday Men remain boys no matter how old they get. Always dreaming about something.
Everyday Girls are difficult when they reach the marriageable age...Ah, sorry, just talking...
Everyday Nature's power is awesome...But plants are strong. They soon recover.
Everyday Plants, they grow back no mater how much you trample them. I can't help loving them.
Everyday ...But no flower can outshine a girl...What I say is true...I've been the world over looking at flowers.
Everyday Have you already found the best flower in your life?
Basil Leaves It'll soon be the season for me to part. I go south before the Winter. See you again next Spring.
Basil Returns Nice to see you again. I was worried about your farm.
Basil Returns Hi, long time no see. I've come back. If you need something, just ask.
Spring Oh, it's you. Spring is good because it's the season when all life gets reborn.
Everyday Raising plants is God's job, you know? We just help. I think it's a great thing.
Rainy Day Plants smell good on a rainy day. That and the wet soil. Heavenly!
Everyday The earth here has great power. It is filled with the power of life. I'm sure wonderful crops will grow.
Everyday Like the earth, men who do not possess the power of life cannot produce good things.
Everyday Well, you look like you have a green thumb.
Everyday You've got a pretty good garden growing there.
Everyday I think farms should also make beautiful gardens for people to look at.
Everyday Like people, some plants are more robust than others. Consider the plants in our store. The grasses are strong, but the vegetables and flowers damage easy in a hurricane.
Everyday So you're growing crops? I'm from Green City in the West. It's Spring all year 'round there, and all sorts of plants are in bloom. People travel the world over to collect plants to grow there.
Everyday I was going to travel all of my life looking for plants. Then I met my wife here. I tried to set roots, but traveling's in my sap.
Everyday Let's both try our best.
Summer Boy it's hot. Flowers need the rain, too.
Everyday Popuri is like a lovely flower that I watered and cared for and now it has finally bloomed. But...all men are flower thieves! Are you listening? <Player's Name>!
Everyday Good evening. Flowers need fertilizer, and people need diversions.
Give Corn Oh, thank you. Let me teach you how to make corn pasta. It's delicious with freshly picked corn.
Recipe Received Got the "Corn Pasta" recipe!
Show Dog Oh, what a lively dog. Here boy.
Give Favorite Gift Oh, thank you very much.
Everyday Hmmm, what's that all about?
Player Has Child Kids are great, eh?
Popuri Has Child Ha, ha, ha. I'm finally a grandpa...
Show Blue Feather Oh, that's what you use for proposing in these parts. I didn't know, so I gave it after she said OK. Local customs can be a pain, eh?
Give Disliked Gift Even if I took it, I wouldn't have a use for it.
Give Neutral Gift Thank you.
Everyday I thought marriage would shackle me down. But I was wrong. It gives you even more freedom of movement!
Everyday Because of Lilia and Popuri, I can travel around...And I always come back home.
Player Has Child So now you're a father...Let me give you a piece of advice. Tell your kid you love 'em sometimes.
Show Chicken/Wild Animal Ha, ha. It's charming.
Everyday Hey, I made them. Try these.

Arrives in Spring Hi, long time no see! I'm back again! You look healthy.

Letters

Hello! Is it cold there? I'll visit your farm again in the spring. Father at Florist

Unused Content

Basil actually did work at the Florist, but his task list shrank when the Improving Crops function became unused content.

Basil Improves Your Crops

You could request Basil’s help with improving your produce. The only hints of this were left in Basil’s unused dialogue. As far as mechanics go, it seemed that once you asked Basil to improve one type of crop for 800G, it would affect every plant of that type on your field- changing them to GOOD quality produce. While GOOD quality vegetables were left listed in available items, they weren’t given separate product images, which means it probably was halted after the basic mechanics of it were worked out and subsequently tossed into the scrap pile. Full dialogue is found in the collapsible table below.


Question Ah, welcome! So you want to try and improve your crops?
Your Choices: Yes, No (Question 1)
You Choose: Yes (Question 1)
Basil Well, which do you want to improve?
Your Choices: Potato, Turnip, Cabbage, Tomato, Corn, Eggplant (Question 2)
You Choose: Any of the Vegetables, Same Result (Question 2)
Basil It's lacking something.
Basil It will cost 800G to develop. Is that OK?
Your Choices: OK, No, forget it (Question 3)
You Choose: OK (Question 3)
Basil OK! Please wait a while.
You Choose: No, forget it. (Question 3)
Basil Oh yeah? I think I can make it better.
You Choose: No (Question 1)
Basil Oh yeah? I think I can make it better.

Trivia

  • Basil proposed before he gave Lillia the blue feather, because he wasn't aware of their customs in Flowerbud Village.
  • Basil says he's from Green City in the West, where it's springtime year-around and people travel there to collect blooms.
  • Since Basil's age is 36, it is likely he was a father at a very young age- possibly 18.
