The Goat: Difference between revisions

As depictued in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic]]'' [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#10ヤギとマスター (The Goat and Barista)|10ヤギとマスター]] (The Goat and Barista) and the game itself, the [[Barista]] at the [[Café]] was hoping to be able to provide fresh milk for the coffee<ref name="cafe">"Hello there! Sorry, but I have a small favor to ask. Where to start...? So I was thinking that it'd be nice to have fresh milk for the coffee here, right? ...And, long story short, there's a goat living here now. Yes. A {{color|#E40000|goat}}. So far, though, she hasn't produced any milk, even though she's always eating. Right. The favor I was going to ask: Will you help me raise my {{color|#E40000|goat}}? I don't know if she'll ever actually produce milk, but... I feel like feeding her can only lead to good things. So, what do you think? It won't take much of your time. And it's fun to feed her. You can feed her the turnips from the garden next to the stable. Feel free to pick 'em all. They grow back real quick. Please...please take good care of my baby!" ~ [[Barista]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>, so he bought The Goat from [[Saffron]] for real cheap, who claimed her milk is delicious. The goat begins to chow down on turnips, causing the [[Barista]] to worry, as she hasn't produced milk, and is only eating every day. He worries that the goat is only getting bigger, and might not fit in the [[Café]] soon. He thinks about changing the way he raises the goat when a customer, presumably the player, comes in.

After the player and [[Tibby]] clear [[The Second Gate]], the [[Barista]] asks them to help raise the goat, although he is not confident it would lead to her producing milk. She stays at the [[Stable]] and can be fed with turnips<ref name="cafe"/>. After the player and [[Tibby]] clear [[Lush Tower]], the [[Barista]] informs them of his accidental discovery that the goat can be fed with [[Coins]] as well<ref>"Hello there! Oh, I remember what I was going to tell you! It's about our goat. Besides the turnips she's always eaten... it turns out she'll also eat coins. Don't ask how I found this out. I mention this because I know you've gotten a few coins from the games. Don't spend them all in one goat!" ~ [[Barista]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. The more the player feeds the goat, the more she levels up. At certain levels, she lays a golden egg, containing a [[Mascot]] inside<ref>"The goat has something... A golden egg! You got a mascot!" ~ Dialogue in the [[Stable]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. When [[Eglantine]] visits the [[Café]], she may compliment the player for raising the goat, as she believes it to be a difficult task<ref>"Are you the one who's been raising that goat over there? That's nice of you. Raising goats isn't easy. Raising my sweet little birdies is MUCH easier. If they misbehave, I just quietly stare at them. They just stop and cower where they are! I think it's my eyes..." ~ [[Eglantine]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.

 

The Goat appears in another ''[[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic]]'', being [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#22ヤギとイエモン (Goat and Saffron)|22ヤギとイエモン]] (Goat and Saffron). Here, as the [[Barista]] is too small to take the goat out for a walk, [[Saffron]] tries fruitlessly to achieve this task. As he's struggling, the goat ends up running away. [[Barista]] watches from afar and comments on the rhythm resulting from the commotion.

**This unused event is referenced in her [[Mascot]] profile, which states that she dislikes taking walks, as well as one of the [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic|comics]] which focuses on [[Saffron]]'s attempts to take her out on one.

**Other unused text in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'' suggests the player would've been able to buy multiple kinds of goat at the [[Shop]]<ref>"shop_category_goat" "shop_explain_goat_a" "shop_explain_goat_b" ~ Internal names for blank unused strings in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>, namely a {{Nihongo|Normal Goat|ふつうのヤギ|Futsū no Yagi}}<ref>"ふつうのヤギだヨ。" (It's a normal goat.) ~ Unused text in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>, a {{Nihongo|Fat Goat|デブなヤギ|Debuna Yagi}}<ref>"デブなヤギだヨ。" (It's a fat goat.) ~ Unused text in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>, a {{Nihongo|Child Goat|子ヤギ|Ko Yagi}}<ref>"子どものヤギだヨ。" (It's a child goat.) ~ Unused text in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>, a {{Nihongo|Golden Goat|ゴールデンヤギ|Golden Yagi}}<ref>"動き回ってて当てるのが難しい。経験値めっちゃもらえる。" (It moves around and is hard to hit.
