I can't stop looking at his feet lol.

I hope he doesn't use ellipses all the time. I loved Wizard, but I couldn't deal with it ~_~
Those are his socks, silly. And the sandals.

I'm pretty sure he's not wearing socks--unless they are flesh colored socks the same color as his skin everywhere else.

They actually do make flesh colored socks but you can still tell that there socks. But I have to agree with you, he just has some strange feet, no socks. :/

They are just model-realistic feet. Since feet are such a minor part of the character model, video game characters usually end up with "toeless feet" when they are not wearing shoes or socks.

His art simply imitates his in-game model.

Yes it looks odd, but socks with sandals?

Yes? Tabi with Geta/Zori shoes is a very traditional Japanese style, which is what I'm assuming they were going for for his design.

I'd rather him be wearing Tabi, but whatever. It's their design, they can do whatever they want.

It would be kinda funny if it turned out he's actually wearing that kind of underwear that is like pants that end in socks (can't remember the name) or long stockings, in flesh color.

"I's like I'm wearing nothing at all!... Nothing at all!... Nothing at all!..."

^It's called pantyhose. Recently men's pantyhose (or mantyhose as they call it) seems gaining popularity. But flesh colored mantyhose is...nope. No offense to those who like it, though.

I'd just pretend they are badly drawn feet or socks/zori. A mantyhose wearing blacksmith is just too strange.

Those!

They are very popular with fishermen here, they apparently give their skin a great deal of protection.

Anyway, it seems CeeCee talked with the game director about our opinions and concerns on the game. Particularly one of mine, namely that she said that due to the automatic A-button thing it was impossible to get rid of growing crops.

It seems they will now make it so that you can delete/till over crops (with a confirmation) in the edit menu, and possibly fruit trees too.

It's pretty awesome they are reading us and resolving these small complaints. Now I'll totally be in the credits (not really).

I thought she said there was no way to get rid of them. Must've missed something. Link, please?

CeeCee mentioned in a couple places that's deliberate. It's how he talks as an immigrant.

It still seems overdone. He referred to himself in the third person, something that usually comes across as degrading.

It is a stereotype, yes. But it happens that way in real life.

He is a full grown man with a supposedly very strict and proud personality. He never bothered learning proper English because he has never needed to, he gets by with the limited vocabulary he has managed to learn.

Imagine yourself speaking to a foreigner, talking slowly and with simplified sentences to make sure they understand you. That's how Brutus talks to you.

Hopefully it won't be over-done in-game.
