Apparently she magically ages up if you romantically pursue her

So even better you've now groomed a child to become your partner

Just not a good look all around

It's weird as hell because she looks and behaves like a young teenager, but she's best friends and gets into hijinx with Mi-an, who is generally portrayed as a young adult.

Though honestly, even if Elsie looked and was written less weirdly, marrying her would mean having to have Cooper as a father in law. :yikes:

There is no aging up but she gets a sort of character art as part of the story, she does look completely different after and it was a bit of a weird choice.

I looked up everyone's age and apparently Catori is supposed to be at least 10 years older than every other bachelorette but she really doesn't look like it.
I mean, sure she constantly talk about how old she is but I do the same thing all the time and I'm not 40 yet.

Oh no
You can’t romance Catori because goddamn her voice is disturbing.

You can’t romance Heidi because you WILL eventually disappoint Vivi, and no one wants that.

I've been trying to date Grace and we are full hearts but she rejects me still. I assume there's something locked behind the story progression I haven't got to yet so I will just keep plugging along and rejecting the other nerds who like me. Heidi, Qi, Venti, and Unsuur all rejected so far.

Nah, she has her character arc regardless of romance pursuit. It's just tied to friendship, I think everyone's character stories are. I got that quest really late because I just didn't talk to her very much. She does stop being an annoying kid and becomes pretty cool but up until then she is like an annoying neighbor kid who keeps getting into the garage and you try to kick her out but that means a really long conversation with your worst neighbor.

Elsie's voice acting being atrociously directed to sound like a young teenager rather than just a bored 20-something that has never left the farm sure was a decision and does no favors for her character not seeming to be 14 years old.

Apparently there's a chance of rejection when you give someone the Heart Knot, it's not a 100%, but yeah, it could be a mission thing.

In case of Grace, have you, uh, had a goat-related near death experience yet? That's probably where it unlocks for her.

Have you tried giving it to them at the end of a good date? It raises the chance.

I love all of his fourth-wall breaking. Some of it is actually pretty, uh, deep and melancholy, like this conversation where he goes 'Hey, so I'm an NPC and my content is about to run out. What does this mean for you? Will you still care about me, even a little, when that spark of new dialogue inevitably goes out of my eyes?"

Yeah buddy, I still care about you.

Hah, just had that conversation yesterday, it was funny and clever and yeah a bit melancholy as well. I'm kinda bummed that I'm finally coming up on the end of the main storyline.

i know that logan is a romance candidate, but i'm definitely not to the point yet of that being plausible, but in the meanwhile i've been giving owen stuff and doing things related to him. i mostly hope that romancing logan isn't a pain in the rear end by being a super late option, possibly

I'm trying to date Grace too but the Grace romance seems to be a very late game thing. She ends up leaving for a bit because of something related to her archeology degree.

For reference Catori Land was just finished in my game so I HAVE to be close to the end.

You're not just close to the end - you could probably have it finished in an afternoon.

The pacing problems of this game really rear their head toward the end. Stuff like the factory and greenhouse arrive far too late to be useful. A handful of the romance candidates are not available until just a short while pre-credits.

I've run out of side content to the degree that I wake up, see if there is any main story progression, and if not, I go back to sleep and repeat.

A man's man, wears a lot of denim, tells long stories and has oatmeal saved from this morning.

Which bachelors/bachelorettes even need the heart knot? Most that I tried to romance had events that triggered the relationships and I had a couple others who tried to start ones with me pretty early on. I think I bought a knot early on and just had it in my inventory the entire game.

It's in case you didn't pick the romance option during the event but then changed your mind.

Burgess is just a harmless eco-guy who seems like he'd be more happy living with plants than people. Like, if he lived in a place with real opportunities he'd probably have disappeared a decade ago to study water samples in remote places for some university.
