Absolutely everything you need to know about romance and marriage in Fields of Mistria

In Mistria, players can pursue various marriage candidates, each with unique storylines, and encounter two secret singles later in the game. Gifting is essential for building relationships, with players able to give one gift daily to earn Friendship points. Engaging in quests, especially those related to town upgrades, unlocks special events like the Shooting Star Festival date. Accumulating Friendship points unlocks heart event scenes that deepen character stories, and players can confess feelings and date candidates upon reaching 8 hearts. Players can date multiple characters simultaneously without jealousy or rival marriages, but breakups can occur if a player proposes to another while dating. There is currently no divorce feature. Friendship points are earned through conversations and gift-giving, and they do not decay over time. After reaching 10 hearts, players can propose, leading to personalized wedding planning and a celebratory ceremony. Post-wedding, spouses assist with farm chores, and players must schedule weddings carefully to avoid conflicts with significant events.
