I play on PS4 and have yet to do a successful YoyoMart run, despite beating the game several times going the other way. I don't know how well I could reallyyy commit to a multiplayer farm though, since I'm not the type who honestly plays video games all that often, or on a set schedule.

feel free to PM me your PSN id and potentially try to set up a time to play, though. it's not impossible that we might get the chance to do so.

alright so for this ranking I just went ahead and used the wiki, got all of the characters from there, and added a few extra characters and removed two characters. considering how many extra/minor characters there are, it's a near certainty that I have forgotten some of them. others -- I chose not to include because I had less to say about them or no real opinion.

In total I'll be ranking 43 characters.

Clint

Honestly, I'm not sure who else it could have been. Before I cut some of the non-characters, and a few of the extras that I added and then took away once I started ranking, he might have been a little higher. Cliff is by no stretch of the imagination a terrible character. In fact he serves as a great example of one of the things that I love about Stardew Valley. ConcernedApe is incredibly gifted at using simple portrayals to convey very complex, good characters who are more realistic and flawed than characters in MANY similar games.

The issue with Clint is that his very realistic flaw is that he's an obnoxious incel. This might sound like a bit of a harsh criticism, since some people think Clint is just a shy, sweet guy. But bear with me... because I have married Emily before and let me just say 'yikes.'

When you get her heart level high enough Emily will tell you that Clint doesn't talk to her anymore and seems distant toward her.

While you are dating Emily, Clint will still send you letters and ask you for help trying to win her affection. I'm not 100% sure if he continues to do this after you are married but I honestly wouldn't be surprised.

He just comes across as a total creep in any playthrough where you're trying to romance Emily, and it's really hard to shake that image of him out of your mind after you see it. To conclude, I think he's a pretty great 'character.' I think people like him actually exist, and this portrayal of him is done really well without coming across like a shallow trope. I also find the creep to be pretty annoying, which I think is totally fair and warranted. Him being shy and having no confidence is no excuse to act the way that he does. And unlike some higher entries on this list he never makes any attempt to better himself. He just continues to wallow in self pity for 200 years if you play for that long.

Pam

I won't have as much to say about Pam just because a lot of what I said to Clint is very similar to how I feel about her. Is she realistic? Do people like her really exist? Did ConcernedApe do a really good job of portraying her characterization through a relatively simple medium, and in a way that makes her feel like more than just a trope? Yes to all.

Is she responsible for making Penny's life fucking miserable?

Yes, but not entirely. While Clint actively acts like a creep, I feel like Pam is slightly less responsible for the harm she causes to others. Penny's father, wherever he is, is somewhat responsible for the situation that Pam is in. And while she is a victim of some of her own poor choices, she is also a victim of circumstances to some extent as well. I actually do feel a bit of pity for Pam. And I do actually feel good for her when she gets her job back driving the bus.

Unlike Clint, she actually makes some attempt to better herself. Although really she hits the bare minimum.
