Goodness, I LOVE this game! But there’s one thing that really irked me. Spoilers.
Why do you have to marry someone? I mean, I love that EVERYONE is an option. And I’m guessing there are some that are more “we just share the same goals” relationships in there. Haven’t looked it up yet.
This game was written with the most platonic relationships in mind. To the point that Alain sounds extremely ace to me. Scarlett was getting jealous of all the hot ladies in the ranks, and his response was “we need all the hot ladies and dudes we can get to defeat this evil empire.” He’s not thinking about romance AT ALL.
But then the moment where you have to commit to someone in a ring ceremony, and every confession sounds so forced. I picked Scarlett, hated it. Reloaded and tried Rosalinde, which felt a little more natural but still no. Ended up with Railanor because her and Alain felt like they were all loyalty all the time. And Alain sounded more like himself in the ritual.
I wish they didn’t make you go through with the whole ritual though. It feels very out of place. You could still have a bonding story to do with their rapport rating. But romance wasn’t successful.
