so about the veiled vow romance system

[0wnz0r]

is the game basically "ronin sexual"? lol.. i got no way to tell if these r gay romance options or simply close friendship options...

my characters a guy... if i check these pink dialogue options for the guys, will we romance or basically be best bros?

wat changes if i was to redesign my character to be a girl? would my romances stay the same? would my current female veiled vow ladies stay n be in a lesbian romance?

Veiled vow is just you're enter romantic relationship not sex, you can treat it as bromance/best bro, unlike western game that implying romance = sex/buttsex

u do get a cutscene, at least for one girl, that directly implies the hokey pokey

Speaking of romance: I am fully devoted to the crazy cat lady, but I rather want Ryoma's loverboy accessory. How do I get it? I am in midnight difficulty and showering him with gifts just gave me some random garbage item.

Picking the "I want to talk outside." or w/e similar relationship option moves you to a new dialogue where you actually choose to make a Veiled Vow (marked with a sakura blossom) or not. Saying nevermind still rewards you the character's special accessory. If you've been avoiding those dialogues entirely (the one's that are like "let's talk, just the two of us") you might be missing out on some other stuff like bond missions. Again, the game makes it clear when it'll actually affect your Veiled Vow status with the blossom icon.

Romance is really half baked in this game, like they've done it because other games did but had no budget and/or ideas how to make it work.
You basically just gift people sims style until they like you and then you get two mediocre cutscenes and that's that.

You can't summon your love interest to your longhouse at will, nor are there any further activities with them. They become worst type of soulless husk NPC.
Given there's a "break up" option, they're pretty much a collectible and you can hook up with all of them in a single playthrough.

btw, sometimes in conversation my veiled vow says "here, i want u to hav this", but no notification pops up n i got no idea wat they gave me. is that jus random dialogue or do they rly giv u somethin?

[LArc7thHeaven]

Usually they give you materials, some can bring rare material but usually normal material. Matthew Perry always give you either iron ore in large number or black sand steel

ah thanks. its nice to see they actually giv u stuff. its incentive to continue to talk to em. i only did it for sentimental reasons lol

It's heavy RNG unfortunately but his masterwork accessory is in the table even if you aren't veiled vows anymore. It also drops on certain missions.

thats the gift he givs if u choose the "talk" option on our longhouse?

Cutscene with Okita Soji also implies an old-fashioned in-out.
