Endings

HM STH is a bit different than the other HM games when it comes to endings. There are 9 different endings that you can do to save the village. Once you have completed one ending you can start a new year, with everything that you have except the affection levels are reset. Don't forget, you only have one year for each ending. Good luck!
Note: If the title of and ending has a star, then I am currently working on that ending, and this is as far as I've gotten. If it has two stars, then I have not completed the endings myself.
**Azure Swallowtail
Make sure that you are friends with Parsley. One day Kurt will tell you of a butterfly called Azure Swallowtail. Then if you go to Lyla, she will tell you more about the flower that they like. A few days later, Parsley and Lyla come by and promise to bring the seeds for the flower. Then another few days later, Parsley will give you the seed. Plant it by the Goddess Pond, and water it eveyday. When the flower blooms, Lyla and Louis will come by. Louis will take a picture and put it toward saving the town. After a couple weeks go down to the pond and see the ending.
Blue Bird
~People Involved: Louis
~Basically, all you have to do is make friends with Louis. I recommed giving him and egg everyday. Once in a while you'll see him by the lake playing his flute for the birds. He will tell you about a very rare blue bird, that is said to be extinct. One day he'll give you a flute too.
~Keep giving him gifts, and after a few more times of seeing him play, he'll come to your house and ask if you want to play your flute with him. Say yes (if you don't then you will miss this ending), and then you get to play. It may take some time to get used to what you have to do, but I thought it was really fun. If you don't get it right the first time try, try again (or you'll miss the ending).
~Once you do a good enough job, the Blue Bird will fly around, dropping a pretty blue feather. Louis gets all giddy because he saw the rare bird, so he takes the feather and sends it off somewhere. A few weeks later, the feather will save the village because it is the habitat of a nearly-extinct bird.
~Then the credits roll will role by, but don't stop yet! After the credits, you will come to understand the whole "engagement blue feather" thing. However, this will only really make sense if you've played the previous Harvest Moon games.
**Cake Contest
Once you've made friends with Katie she'll tell you about the cake contest. Go talk to Gwen, and she'll tell you not to help her. Katie will ask you to go out and get a few things for her, so when you're all done Katie and Gwen will go and make the cake at Lyla's house. Later you come back for the final taste test, and then the village will be saved.
**Endangered Weasel
When you are friends with the harvest sprites, they will tell you of a strange animal living near the Goddess Pond. Then become friends with Gwen, and she'll tell you that the animal is her pet weasel named Snowball. Then you get to take a picture, and the village will be saved.
Goddess Dress
~People Involved: Gina, Katie, Dia, Louis, Goddess, and Martha
~Start off by becoming friends with Gina. Once you're friends, then she will stop by your farm one morning and talk about making a Goddess Robe for Flowerbud Village's Festival. Now start making friends with Katie. One day, she'll stop by the farm and get some ideas for the dress for Gina. It is probably a good idea to start making friends with Dia now.
~Head over to Clove's Villa in a few days, and you will see a scene with Katie and Dia tring to make the dress. Then Dia comes out, and yells at Gina for neglecting her duties. So, now go to the Harvest Goddess for some help. She tells you to get her some silk thread and bring it to her.
~To get the silk thread, I don't think that you have to be friends with Louis, you just have to wait until the next day, and then you can buy it from him. As soon as you get it, go and give it to the Harvest Goddess. In about 1-2 weeks (it took me 10 days), you'll wake up to the Goddess, and her sprites, and they will give you the rainbow cloth.
~Now you have to go to Clove's Villa and give it to Gina. (This only works when she is inside and Dia is outside (11am).) A few days later, go back to Clove's Villa, and Gina and Katie will be sewing again, this is a pretty long scene.
~Within the next 2-3 weeks, Gina will come by your farm with Dia modeling the Goddess dress. As soon as she leaves, she's going to submit the dress to Flowerbud Village. One week later, Gina, Dia, and Katie will come by, and read a letter that announces Gina's dress as the new official Goddess dress. The town is now becoming very popular, and there is going to be a sewing and dying workshp set up in the town. This is going to raise the importance of the town, and it will be saved!
~After the credits, Gina tells you how thankful she is for him helping her with all of this.
Horse Race
~People Involved: Bob, Gwen
(I recommend not doing this ending first, so you have a chance to get and raise your horse to 5 hearts.)
~The first thing you need to do is get a horse (go to the Animals section to see how). You also need to make good friends with Bob and Gwen. As soon as you can ride your horse, Bob and Gwen will come by the farm the morning after. Bob will compliment you, but Gwen will just say that any idiot can ride a horse.
~Now keep taking good care of your horse, and when it gets to 5 hearts, Bob and Gwen will visit you again. Bob says that you should enter in the upcoming horse race in Flowerbud Village. The winning town will host next years race, so the village will have to stay. Gwen gets mad, because she wants her horse to be in the race. Bob then tells you that you should stop by, and do some training.
~So, the next day, go to Brownie Farm, and talk to Bob. There will be a new option: Time Attack. Select that and begin the time trial. You have to complete 3 laps in under 52 seconds. This is really hard, but the best advice that I can give you is to use the D-pad, stay close to the fence, but don't hug it, and cut the corners as sharply as you can.
~2-3 weeks after you beat the time attack, Bob will come by your farm and challenge you to a race. Say "yes" and you will be taken straight to the track. Bob isn't that hard, just keep the same strategy, and don't let him get ahead of you. If you don't beat him, then you can always race him again any Thursday until you do.
~When you beat him, Gwen will get mad and challenge you to a race. Gwen is a lot harder, and she has a different style of racing. She stays away from the fence. To beat her, you should stay right next to her until you come around to the second bend of the first lap. Then follow your previous strategy, but I found it easier to use the Control stick on this race. If you don't beat her, then you can race her any Tuesday morning.
~Once you beat her, she'll tell you that the race is in two weeks. In one week, Bob will come by and remind you of the race. Sometime within those two weeks, Gwen will come by and give you a good luck charm that she made. When two weeks is up, Bob comes by and takes your horse to the race. (You don't get to ride him.) The next day, he and Gwen come back, and announce that your horse won!!
~After the credits, The three of you will race together.
**Legendary Fish
After you get the fishing rod from Joe, catch some fish and he'll tell you about a legendary fish. Catch some more fish and he'll tell you more. then talk to Joe and Woody, and go buy the new fishing rod. Catch more fish, and woody will tell you more. Go to the lake one night, and you and Joe will see the fish. Make friends with Kurt and he'll help you to make a better fishing rod. Then go out when there is a full moon and try to catch it. After you catch the fish, the village will be saved.
