More Decorations have hit FarmVille! It’s time to dig in for another week of awesome Fairy Tale theme goodies; we have to admit, this has been one of our all-time favorite themes.
First up is the Black Swan Lake, which could obviously be a reference to the Academy Awards from Sunday night, where Natalie Portman won Best Actress for the controversial role in Black Swan, which revolves around the ballet… you guessed it, Swan Lake; hence, Black Swan Lake. Or we could just be reading entirely too much into this and it could just be a cool way to showcase the rarest Duck Pond Ducks.
Either way, this one is certainly interesting, as it features the Black Swan, one of our favorite new Ducks to come out of the Duck Pond, floating in the center of an elegant lake, surrounded by gazebos, mossy rocks along the “shore,” as well as several brightly-colored trees. This one features slight animation, as the Black Swan floats adrift while the water wavers from droplets along the shoreline. It costs 20 FV Cash, which is a little too steep in our opinion. It will give you 2,000 EXP.
Okay, things just got a little weirder in FarmVille. This is the Enchanted Tree, and just based on the Market window and our picture above, you cannot see the strange, jerking animations that this one contains. You see, the Enchanted Tree is an actual living, breathing, sentient… uh… tree-thing-person. If you look closely, you can see its face, which contains a bulbous nose and puffy cheeks.
For all of you gamers out there, this reminds us of Mortal Kombat II, the old arcade game that caught the hubbub of many parents. Take a look:
See? Who knew that FarmVille would look to Mortal Kombat for a little inspiration. Let’s certainly hope that the Gnomes do not get into a fight; the last thing we need is a little gruesome mess to clean up next to our Sun Poppies!
We cannot decide if this one teeters over the “clever/creepy” line, as it is a very thin line indeed; we will lean towards “clever,” and let’s be honest, it is because of the price; at 5 FV Cash, how can you go wrong?
This is the Magic Fairy Ring, an animated Decoration that features a large beam of light shining down from the right side on a circular pattern of mushrooms, where fireflies, lightning bugs, or straight-up pixies flutter around in plain sight. This Decoration cannot be rotated due to its animation, which we strongly approve of, and it is yet another great Decoration available for Coins, clocking in at 100,000 Coins and giving you 1,000 EXP for the purchase. This is a fun Decoration that really catches the eye and doesn’t take up a ton of space.
Mirror, mirror, in the air, who is the one with receding hair? Hey! That’s not cool, dude. This smart-alecky mirror is dubbed the Magic Mirror, and it is more or less a must-have for two reasons: first off, it is an entirely unique Decoration that is unlike any other, in that it has a cool design with even cooler animations as it bobs up and down, showcasing some interesting spiral effects in the mirror itself. Secondly, the cost: it is only 30,000 Coins, making it affordable for even novice farmers. It will only give you 300 EXP, but what did you expect at that price?
In summation, another great week for the Market, as the Decorations continue to steal the spotlight from the Trees, Animals, and more.
