I will never understand the decision why dating Priscilla seems to be a must...

[Algester]

I mean if you think about it sure you can not take her to Belpha Ruins but... just to understand the back half of the plot you need to do her pre-marriage event thats pretty much gated behind her 3 dates even as both genders...

And dating Beatrice in order to actually have a more back lore in the events thats been transpiring since RF2 if not as early as Oceans to the culmination of the events that transpired RF4.

Unless the entire mechanics you can not fully explore X dungeon without dating X character that was introduced in Frontier and RF2 (hell half of the content is gated by the fact you need to get married in RF2) as a major callback

RF3 also required you to have a spouse to finish the plot.

Well, that's exactly why I'm doing copies of my main save and plan to marry everyone. But I must confess, Priscilla and Cecil are way out of my interests, so I'll come just for the lore. Anyway, I imagine not all of them will be as full of lore as Beatrice's, but each bit counts.
As for your question, I can see why they split the lore among the candidate's personal histories - that way we can get a sense of accomplishment for our effort, although I'm not so keen of it too.

Which I think for simplicity of development was using the base of RF2 as RF2 wasnt received as well as its predecessor title then again it wasnt until RF4 where the back end was given a rewrite to have what we have now

In hindsight in RF5 you are no longer gated by the fact you need to have children to make your family OP as white stone is now a boss drop imagine you being able to craft dolphin brooch once a year for your entire family of 4 members

Meaning with enough patience you will need to spend 4 days in game save scumming for it to drop

personally I think they should have shifted some parts of Priscilla's final event to be part of the story I wont spoil much but... yeah

To be fair to Beatrice, the kingdom's plot relevance ended in 4, so at this point, its more what happened after the disaster that isn't important to the overarching story but is still nice to know.

yeah its nice to know that at least Palermo gets a clean house like... what... 50 years ish? after RF4 while Raguna probably dies in Trampoli??? one would think they would look for descendants of the King's nephew (who was amnesiac) if they really need to clean the house eh..

Hi.. Just so I understand this, part of the story is gated by marrying specific characters??!

No, it's all extra stuff. The main story is in no way impacted by who you marry.
