All Matthew Heart Events – Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life

Winning Matthew's heart.

Romance always seems to be in the air in SOS: A Wonderful Life! If you’re looking for love with Matthew in particular, the good news is that you can slowly build up a rapport with him until he opens up and finally becomes marriage material. This seemed difficult to me at first, as Matthew is both shy and a little standoffish. But if you follow my guide to all the Matthew Heart events in Story of Seasons A Wonderful Life below, you’ll soon have him wrapped around your finger (along with the ring!).

Once you increase the number of relationship stars Matthew has (through gift-giving) to certain levels, you’ll have the ability to trigger the following events. Note that you have to complete each event (starting with the introduction) before the next one can trigger, no matter if you already have enough hearts for a later one.

Introduction Event

Vesta’s Farm, Spring 2 or later, daytime: Talk to Vesta, who will ask about how your farm is doing. She’ll say that if you need any help, you can rely on her brother Matthew. You’ll then be introduced, after which you can begin giving him gifts to build the relationship.

Two-Heart Event

Vesta’s House, when Matthew is inside: Once you have at least two stars with Matthew, head into the house when he’s at home. After a bit of awkward chat, he’ll ask what you want. He’ll tell you he enjoys going to the Blue Bird Cafe and says he can give you any help you might need growing vegetables. Afterward, reply, You’re so nice, thank you! To receive +10 Affection with him. 

Four-Heart Event
