Fields of Mistria: Can You Actually Date? A Deep Dive into Romance
While Fields of Mistria is lauded for its engaging romance storylines and well-developed characters, the straightforward answer to whether you can go on dates with romanceable NPCs is: not yet, technically. However, the existing romance system, even without explicit dates, is incredibly rich and rewarding, justifying the game's price point.
The November 2024 update significantly enhanced the romance mechanics. The maximum relationship level increased from four hearts to six, introducing new heart events for each romanceable character. These events, including playable cutscenes, unlock at two, four, and six hearts, with plans for eight and ten-heart events in future updates. The upcoming March 2025 update, however, won't expand the heart level cap or add new events.

Despite the pause on adding new romance progression, the current system shines. The dialogue is realistic and often flirty, adding depth to the interactions. While early cutscenes might seem platonic, their ambiguity allows for romantic interpretation, making the gradual development of relationships feel satisfying.
A significant addition in the last major update was the Shooting Star Festival. This summer event allows players with four hearts with a chosen romance option to initiate a date-like experience. While stargazing with Caldarus is currently possible, it doesn't trigger a date at the Summit location like other options. This may change with the March 2025 update, which will focus on unlocking the dragon's romance storyline.
In conclusion, while official "dates" aren't yet a feature, Fields of Mistria offers a compelling and nuanced romance system that keeps players invested until the full dating mechanic is implemented.
