Romance Mechanics that (IMO) should be added
While I'm excited for any thing they add, there are a few things I really hope are incorporated into the romance aspect of FoM. Here are some of my main points (in no particular order)
I hope there are some jealousy aspects. I know not everyone would want that, so maybe it could be something you can toggle? I just think that in such a small town there would be some consequences for asking multiple people out. (also I can't imagine March, who is known for having jealousy issues being hunky dory with the idea of you having your eyes on other people) It would also be more immersive, which is something that NPC studios takes into consideration.
I think it would be cute if people acknowledged your relationship, especially the family. Like, can you imagine Maple and Lucy calling you their big sibling if you married Reina? This could also work the other way, that if you "broke their heart" or something they felt uncomfortable around you or whatever. That might be getting too far into it but you get the idea.
I think it would be really fun to set other characters up with each other. I'm thinking even as far as the candidates themselves but also ones outside, like Orlic. I want everyone to get their happy life together, not just me (this is more wishful thinking than anything, I think this mechanic would be the hardest to implement so it's not really realistic, but I'm still including it on my list)
I'd say most importantly, I hope there is some date mechanic outside of heart events (even after marriage) Maybe there can be specialized ones (Reina and cooking together, digging up artifacts and things with Eiland, etc) but man, I also just want to go on a dinner or beach date, something simple but cute.
Anyway, those are just my opinions on what I would like to see. What are some things you'd like implemented?
