Should have just added romance
Seems like some of the dialogue with characters were already going this route (Eupha for sure and Junha, final convo with Catherine to a degree).

I wonder if they didn't get enough time to add all the romance mechanics or just allowed the flirty dialouge but not go all the way.

Either way the game is currently my GOTY and I really don't see that changing by the end of the year. I'm on the final encounter now and look forward to NG+ and cleaning up some ahcievements before Dragon Age drops.

Romance is not appropriate in this game. There on a mission. Do your job. Its not a high school dating simulator.

They're*

Also, mass effect universe had a far more important mission than this crap offers and there was plenty of romance.

This game is definitely lacking substance, its just flat, the more I play it the worse it gets. Once I beat it immediately uninstalling, just playing it at this point as I was denied a refund.

I would agree if one of the characters was not technically professing her love and wish to get married. It's just an odd thing to include when romance was not on the table. It is very simple to work towards a mission and still have romance, as countless of top rpg/jrpgs have done, like BG3, Mass Effect, P5, etc.

I wouldn't have minded not having romance but the flirty dialogue does make you wonder if this was the initial goal from Atlus.

Eithe way I've had a blast with the game and lack of romance has not taken anything away from the game.

Game doesnt need pure romance. It can have banter, and suduction in dialog without full blown romance.

The world just wasn't ready for a romanceable dark elf character

personally, im glad they didn't.

not for nothing but atlus isn't exactly known for their good romance, its just something you can choose to do 80% into the game out of the blue just for being friends with half the cast.

the game shouldn't have romance options, but i really do feel they could have taken it further with the one character that's blatantly in love with the MC and you having a choice to have him reciprocate.

It's actually precisely during life or death adult missions that romance happen.
Romance happening in highschool in reality rarely happens as often as in the adult world. So basically your take is BS.

It is appropriate. If your going to be king it will be a very shortlived reign for your dynasty if you dont get a wife.

doesn't has to happen while the 11th hour is ringing though, should probably not be done when your trying to get the crown

The prince is not even 20. Give him some time to find the right one. Doesn't have to be right away.

His duty first and foremost is to his subjects. Continuing the royal lineage can wait.
