Albert is an elderly resident of Sun Haven. A retired military member, he now leads a quiet life among the townsfolk along with his wife, Judith. Despite being retired military, Albert retains a sense of humor and sometimes offers advice to the protagonist from his own experiences.
Albert is amiable towards the protagonist from the beginning, and mentions that both he and Judith were good friends with the owner of the land that the protagonist now resides on before the owner "left out of the blue about ten years ago."
His house, although locked to the player, is behind Cynthia's Romance Stall in the town square.
Albert has two schedules that he alternates between each sunny day and a third that he uses during rainy days. A rainy day will replace any subsequent sunny day schedule.

Once specific relationship levels are reached, Albert will send the player a letter which can be collected from the farm's mailbox.
Relationship Level 5
I guess you're never too old to make a new chum. I have to thank you for making this old fool feel a bit younger again. So, uh, thanks. We should play chess sometime. Do you know the rules? I hope so, because I can never remember them...

Dialogue
Introduction
When speaking to Albert for the first time in a new game:
Oh? Are you a new neighbor, or have I just forgotten your name?
Player:
My name is [Player], I'm the new farmer here.
Of course you are! Well I'm delighted to meet you, [Player]. Call me Albert, 'cause that's my name!
General Dialogue
General non-conversational dialogue between Albert and the player. If there is a seasonal token at the end of the dialogue, it means the player can only see that dialogue during that season.
:"I used to be a hero, too. Back in my golden days."
:"I am sure glad I ended up in Sun Haven. Watching you kids bringing this town together... it warms my heart."
:"Judith is my wife. Can you believe it, we've been married 29 years!"
:"Is it just me, or do the guards here look like ninnies?"
:"Back in my prime I could have solved this “monster town” problem overnight!"
Conversations
Cycle 1
:
After living here for thirty years, I can tell you this for sure - Sun Haven never gets dull.
Player:
Thirty years is a long time.
:
I know, I'm an old geezer. I don't mind one bit! I've got a lot of experience to lean on.
Player:
Have any advice for someone like me?
:
Hm, I guess if I've learned anything in my time... Don't eat a bowl of spiced beans before getting into a suit of armor.
Player:
What has your experience taught you?
:
Hm, I guess if I've learned anything in my time... Don't eat a bowl of spiced beans before getting into a suit of armor.
Player:
What's your favorite memory from your time here?
:
The best day of my life was the day I met my wife Judith. I was still new in Sun Haven, and she smiled at me from across the town square. Took my breath away!
Player:
That's so romantic! +2 Points
:
Every day I'm thankful that we met so early. It's been paradise ever since.
Player:
Sounds like you've lived a pretty boring life. -1 Points
:
Is this how the youth treats their elders now? What a shame...
Cycle 2
:
You look like a real go-getter. It's good that the old farm fell to someone like you.
Player:
Do you know who owned the farm before me?
:
Sure do, they were a workhorse too. Also, a dear friend to Judith and me. He left out of the blue about ten years ago.
Player:
It's tough when friends leave. +2 Points
:
Yes, it is. Thanks for talking, farmer. Not everyone has time for us old geezers in this fast-paced world, heh.
Player:
That seems questionable. -1 Points
:
I would never question that man's honor. He was as decent as anyone.
Player:
What do you do here?
:
I'm a knight of the Queen's court, of course!
Player:
Wait, what queen?
:
Just a joke, youngster. I laid my sword up some time ago. Besides, Sun Haven never even had a queen!
Player:
No way, that's so exciting!
:
Just a joke, youngster. I laid my sword up some time ago. Besides, Sun Haven never even had a queen!
