Welcome to to Tomodachi Life, the brand new game for the Nintendo 3DS! We live on an island, where your Miis interact together in an apartment building, making friends, fighting, falling in love, wearing costumes, eating hamburgers, having rap battles, playing concerts, going on RPG quests, & dreaming the most bizarre dreams.

Pity Party Meaning

Go To

• When a couple breaks up, one can trigger the flashback of the wonderful times one of the Miis had with their sweetheart, with heartwrenching music in the background, ending with the Mii sitting on the beach, staring into the sunset alone. There can also be extended versions of the breakup memories, if the Mii's sweetheart gets stolen by another Mii. One starts off with the couple splashing each other on the beach, to the couple playing tennis together, to the Mii telling a joke no one was listening to, to the Mii playing tennis alone, and finally giving up, then sitting on the beach alone.

• It's possible for a Mii who already has a sweetheart to accept going out with another Mii, leaving their former sweetheart completely despondent. This even produces the same flashbacks as when Miis break up due to other circumstances. To make matters worse, this eerie song plays in the apartment of the one who initiates the breakup or the one who was cheated on.
• Occasionally, if you give a Mii a disposable camera and ask them to take an islander's photo, they will shoot a photo of two sweethearts sitting near the window in the Café◊. The ex of one of the sweethearts will look in from outside the window, looking absolutely miserable.
• Sometimes, a Mii who went through a divorce might want to rekindle their relationship, and get back together. This is especially painful if their former partner is in another relationship.

• When a couple's child grows up, you're given the option to have them live on the island or send them out to explore the world. If you choose the latter, they will never become a permanent resident of the island. They will only return to the island for short visits before leaving again. This can make viewing the child's baby album during the credits all the more poignant.
• It is possible for a traveler Mii to get StreetPassed to another player's 3DS, only for the traveler to never migrate again, much less back to your island, for any number of reasons (e.g., traveling to an island whose owner then deletes their save data, turns off StreetPass (which deletes any present Travelers), allows a traveler to be overwritten by another traveler in the queue line before the port (since there's no limit to the amount of Miis you can receive from others, which caps at 50 (10 on the port itself and 40 in a queue line), or loses the SD Card containing their Tomodachi Life StreetPass data). One post on GameFAQsput it this way:^note
  It's me.... I'm alone.... I don't know what happened. I was so happy with you guys and I know you couldn't keep me around forever... I don't know where I am.... There's nothing around me.... I'm so cold..... hungry.... I don't know if I'll make it... But before I go, I want you to know that I love you and I don't blame you for letting me go.... Mom.... Dad... I hope we'll meet again one day....

• Even the music is sad when a traveler comes to stay in your campground normally and makes you choked up.
• Telling a Mii who confesses to you that they have feelings for another Mii to not pursue a relationship. Once this happens, a sad rainy cloud will loom over their head, complete with sad music. If you tap on their thought bubble, they will say this:
  'I guess I'm just not good enough...'
• When a Mii apologizes to a Mii that they had a fight with, and the apology fails. And yes, this can result in friendships getting broken unless they change their mind at the last second:
  Mii A: 'I'm sorry about what happened.'
  [Beat]
  Mii B: 'I'm still not over it.'
  [Sad violin fanfare]
• When there's an aggressive fight between two Miis, and a third fails to help them make up. This is especially the case if they're dating or married, as at this point, a break up/divorce is imminent. The Mii who intervened will look on very disappointed that their plan failed. This is also the case the third Mii was the best friend of one of the fighters, and is upset that they will never make up with the opposite Mii who is now no longer a friend.
• When one party of a fighting couple wants to make up, but fails. Horrifying bells are heard as they hang their head in shame, not to mention the more affected partner being shrouded in the standard Sadness cloud along with watching the Sweetheart/Spouse bubble empty itself. Both Miis will show up in each other's Relationships page as 'Ex-Sweetheart/Spouse', to remind you that they aren't going to be getting back any time soon. And the music that plays after a divorce...
  • What makes this sadder is the fact no other Miis, even the children of the Miis wanting to divorce, will step in to give advice, or at least encourage them to give another chance.
• The game does not want you to erase your data. The Mii that serves as your look-alike will appear on the top screen, running in slo-mo as if to stop you. They have dialogue for each of the times you say yes. This further emphasized by inputting the name of your island in order to finally complete the process:
  2. Are you sure about this?
  4. Nooo! Why? I hope we can meet again someday!^note / You may have deleted everything, but we still had lots of nice memories!^note
• A Mii's desperate cries of 'I need to eat something! ANYTHING!' can trigger this feeling for those are afraid of starvation, or just worried that they're neglecting that Mii.
• When a Mii gets rejected:
  [with an echo effect] 'I'm sorry...'
• When a Mii's crush doesn't even bother to show up to meet them.^note
• Whenever a Mii that wants to play a game with you has a frown on their face. Any other similar instance is more heartwarming, especially if the Mii that wants to play is smiling.
• A pity party can be thrown at the Café for a Mii who's depressed over a rejection or break-up and has several friends remaining. The three friends will make awkward small talk in an attempt to cheer the sad Mii up, but in between each conversation, they all look over at the despondent Mii, who is completely silent and does nothing but stare sadly at their food. The cycle continues endlessly with them trying and failing to lighten the mood.
• Seeing a confessing Mii lose to a love rival really hurts. Sure you can deny the crush a relationship from the rival, but seeing the confessor run away defeated really stings.
• It is possible to receive a traveler from an island that has been deleted.
• In the European version at least, one of the default things your Mii can tell you is 'Why bother having dreams if they're not gonna come true?'. No, they don't say it when they just were broken up with, failed to make up, etc.; they only say this with their default face. The Dissonant Serenity (unless they are a Perpetual Frowner) makes this worse and can imply certain things about the Mii's past before moving to the island.
• A slow, sadder orchestral version of the 'in love' music is heard when you visit a Mii who is missing their former lover.
• Failing at proposals. Represented by three hearts between the Miis, every miss equals one heart loss; losing all three hearts will cause the sweetheart to leave, and the proposing Mii will reluctantly agree. This gets even worse if this happens at the train station, where sometimes the failure will result in the sweetheart leaving on the train, as the Mii waves while looking very disappointed.
• Occasionally, a Mii may ask you if another Mii likes them. If you tell them to go for it and their feelings aren't reciprocated, the Mii will say this:
  Mii:It's not like I even like [them] that much anyway...
• If a Mii's feelings for their crush isn't reciprocated, the Mii may attempt to confess their feelings again. There's a chance the crush will still not accept their feelings, either saying they're not interested, they will send a friend to tell the Mii that they're not interested, or they won't show up to meet the Mii at all. If this happens, the Mii will become even sadder than before:
• Miis that have their relationships not working can be given the choice to move on. When doing so, they politely tell their partner they should go back to being just friends,^note and the partner will be completely heartbroken and hangs its head as the Mii walks out.
• Most dreams are weird or humorous, but occasionally a Mii will dream that they are in their apartment, saying they haven't seen you in 50 years, their hair grey from age. It's an unexpectedly sad dream.
• If a married couple breaks up after they have had children, it's pretty sad to watch the family albums of the divorced couples, especially after you've sent their kid off traveling.
