Ranking the Bachelor/ettes’ Older Designs || Stardew Valley 1.6 Tier List

meowy y’all welcome back to another video the bachelors and bachelorettes in stard Valley have amazing designs but some of their older designs were questionable there are some hidden gems in the beginning stages of our beloved video game so in today’s video I’ll be ranking the older designs of the bachelors and bachelorettees so buckle up if you don’t know me I’m solder I make stard Valley YouTube videos featuring long plays game challenges lore and Theory crafting and analyses so if you’ve got any feedback or suggestions for the next video feel free to leave a comment below and hit that sub subscribe button for more to clarify I will not be ranking their Current Designs just their previous designs and I’ll be explaining my thoughts our tear are s a b c d and f with s being perfect and F being the worst of the worst first up Alex honestly we’re starting off pretty strong The Jock design is really strong and we can see that concerned ape always had a certain look for him this half body design over here is actually really Charming he’s got that jock look but there’s a dorky aura that feels lovable if I’m being honest I actually would have preferred this older design to the one we currently have there’s a few designs where it looks like he has more of a country boy haircut which I’m honestly fine with it it gives him more of a boy next door Vibe overall I would give Alex’s previous designs an a next we have Abigail and boy howdy concerned ape was really indecisive about her design she went from having teal hair to blue and then finally purple different haircuts and styles and different accessories I really love the teal color on her and honestly wish we still had that thank God concerned ape got rid of the bows though I’m sorry but it feels way too kidish her blue hair era feels very mermaid and Enchanted and I honestly really love it for her purple hair designs I feel like she looked more mature with straight hair and very put together which doesn’t actually match her adventurous personality I’m really torn that we didn’t get this previous design of the final Abigail design I feel like her hair being off her shoulders gives her a wind swept I’m about to R off into the mountains look overall I’m going to give Abigail’s previous designs an a there were a lot of interesting versions and designs and I think there’s something to appreciate with all of them next up is Elliot and this one is truly a shame for me because I don’t like Elliot’s current design and I much prefer his previous ones this design feels very Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice and I’ll admit it feels Goofy and out of place from the rest of pelicant town but Elliot himself is pretty out of place this design feels very independent and kind of Gone With the Wind and off to pursue his own dreams it feels free and it really shows off his artist Soul these other designs his hair is less fabulous but the piercing I absolutely love it on him and I really wish we still had that overall Elliot is going to get an S for his older designs next up is Emily and I so so so badly want this design for her right now the choppy hair the gold hoops and the stitching on her shirt looks so cool and she looks so free and almost piratey and I really adore it these two designs feel really 9s style but I absolutely love the hairstyles I’m glad concerned ape didn’t go with these Styles because it makes her feel less quirky and adventurous it feels a bit too homely For Me overall I’ll give her previous designs a be because there’s some iffy ones on this list but this pirate Core Design is so strong it really elevates her overall ranking I love how Harvey has four designs and the last one is his final design concerned ape already knew exactly how he wanted him to look it was just a matter of Aging him up a bit by adding that mustache really and thank God we didn’t get this first design it feels really really youthful and the expression he has is almost judgmental or angsty Harvey’s warmth and kindness is really shown with his older designs I’m going to go ahead and give Harvey’s older designs a bee I know Harvey’s mustache is controversial for many but for me Harvey isn’t really Harvey without his whiskers so his previous designs just look off without it Haley’s hair and accessories change quite a bit over the iterations I’m really curious with what was going on with this design I feel like I’m looking at the cover of an old point and click adventure game and she’s the cleric that uses a battle staff same with this design the headband feels like she’s a Templar or something I think the entire top row uh is just not for me she looks way too sweet and way too softspoken and we all know that she’s very outspoken and confident in the bottom row we start to see that spice that she has with the raised eyebrows and the smirks I’m going to have to give Haley’s older designs a SE because more than half of her older designs just aren’t doing anything for me I’m really sorry if you’re a Sam fan I truly am but the Looney Tunes I just opened a prank gift and it exploded in my face hairstyle is just way too much for me I understand is the rocker guitarist gelled up spiky hair I do understand that now it’s your turn to understand me I don’t like it unfortunately his previous designs also had him looking very youthful a bit too much for me almost an immature air around him also in these two designs the giant RPG hero banging his face is just too silly for me I’m sorry I’m going to have to give Sam’s older designs an overall F Leah’s older designs are so hit and miss for me the first design makes her look like a child that’s ready to go to her first year of art school so no thank you the next two I actually really love the updo is really pretty and I like the color the spiky ponytail reminds me of Phoebe from friends then we have the next two and honestly the hair is just uneven it’s weirdly textured her face feels too soft as if she’s nervous to speak her mind then in the following three designs my heart absolutely stops the long wavy hair and the neat twists at the top her overall expression it seriously feels like a Renaissance painting I honestly wish we had this or this design as her final look because it is abs absolutely enamoring and enchanting we then get this design and I do like the braid she works a lot with her hands so having her hair a little tucked away makes sense and it shows off her personality a bit I prefer the softer face in this design to what we currently have Leah’s older designs is going to get an S for me despite my huge distaste for three of the designs because the designs that I do like are so enchanting please hear me out please please please please please put down the pitchforks we’re actually joking about the older designs of Sebastian this one looks downright frightful imagine seeing this at 3:00 a.m. like it’s a bit Gastly to me and I’m sorry if the Goths and Emos are your thing you’re valid but this is a bit too L from Death Note for me I’m really sorry as we progress I do find him more and more charming and I’m really sad that we miss out on a design where Sebastian is wearing an earpiercing I feel like it really adds to his personality this design feels like he’s wearing a shirt that his mom bought from Hot Topic it makes him feel way too young and like he’s still in high school the decision to put a hoodie on him is a great one I think overall I’m going to give Sebastian’s older designs a c but don’t worry C’s get degrees we’ve got a lot going on with Maru her hair texture color and style has changed so drastically over all of the iterations we can see throughout all the designs that her soft expression and soft eyes remain consistent really love that about her I enjoy the more pink hair because stardo Valley is a fantasy game and I like it when characters have funky colors but the big and bold curls are something that I miss dearly adding glasses was a lovely touch and it really adds to her person ality maru’s older designs are going to get an A from me if you didn’t know this about me already Shane is my all-time favorite character in starter Valley and he’s the one I marry the most out of the 500 hours I have of playing this game so I want yall to believe me when I say that I am not biased nor have I been biased about this tier list especially considering what I’m about to say f tier it was definitely a decision to have him shave the side of his head like so many football players do and it was definitely a decision to have him be sad when his hair started to grow out on the side the red hair is interesting but it feels very NPC not a potential Bachelor I don’t know what to say about this one I can’t speak suddenly the words are snatched for my vocal cords even the previous design before this final design there’s still something off about it adding that 5:00 shadow and the dark brooding eyes did wonders for him but unfortunately we’re ranking older designs so as good as Shane’s final design is he’s staying in F last but certainly not least Penny I am Enchanted enamored utterly L struck by this design the choppy haircut the floral top and the freckles are you kidding me she is the Girl Next Door the one with optimism in her eyes I would sacrifice anything to have this design for Penny unfortunately I can’t say the same for a lot of the other ones the tattered shirt the messy hair is she supposed to be lioness’s daughter oh my God upcoming Theory video it just doesn’t make a lot of sense for her to look that messy maybe if she was you know very sporty or if she lived on a farm with Pam it would make more sense but she’s a bookworm that is dedicated to teaching Vincent and JZ it just doesn’t make too much sense to me I’m also not really a fan of the cinnamon roll buns it feels very out of place and I just keep seeing the nautilus shell that you can find on the beach overall her older designs is going to go into the D tier and the only reason why she’s not in F is because of the one design that I really really really love with that said I hope

  1. Shane’s current design with the rounded face and unshaved beard looks like a kind-hearted but world-weary man who hasn’t been taking care of himself as much as he should. It makes me wonder what he was like when he was younger, and want to help him get back on his feet.

    Shane’s original design makes me want to call the police.

  2. i do kind of dig alex's country boy hair.
    abigail's teal hair absolutely rips.
    elliot SHOULD have an earring. it suits him.
    i like emily's OG design, but i think her current expression suits her vibe better.
    i agree that harvey needs the 'stache.
    fully agree with your haley takes. the current design fits her personality so much better than those top row options especially.
    sam has always been an anime protag and i love that for him.
    i like leah's updo hair and the full down, but i think her having it braided makes sense for her work.
    sebastian's posture getting better over time is hilarious considering his profession (he do be shrimpin over that computer).
    maru with curls would be divine.
    side shave shane looks like a fallout character.
    penny does strike me as the type to put a lot of care into her clothes, so even if they are a little old, i bet she takes good care of them and keeps them in good repair.

  3. Really fun video idea!

    I do disagree on Elliott's older designs beind better than his current one (though i do agree on the earring. would love if it was kept). I think they look a bit too young, I like the mature vibe that he has on his final design, and the hair too. I did see some people take the idea that his older designs were him when he was younger, which i do really like, its a fun way to implement the older deisgns

  4. 100% prefer Elliot's older designs, especially the first one with that sort of Victorian look about it. For the most part I absolutely agree with you. I kind of wish Abigail's hair colour could be changed to the older versions when she asks about dying her hair.
    If you were to rank the Dwarf Scrolls, which order would you put them in?

  5. ELLIOTS EARING DESIGN MY BELOVED WE WERE ROBBED OF YOU- I do love that we can see his art style change while designing his characters. it always looks like concerned ape went through style phases

  6. I’m ngl I used to be scared of Harvey bc of his mustache LOL but then I saw his blushing emote and it was game over for me 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️💕
