Marriage "Rivals"

[Adrien]

Do any of the other marriage candidates get married and have children?
I'm on my 3rd year and have married and had a child, but everyone else is still single.
Do all of the villagers stay the same, with the only change being your spouse?

They stay the same.

And marriage rivalry is lame imo. I mean, if all other candidates are your boyfriends and girlfriends, or just friends in general, why would they all of a sudden become rivals? It wouldn't make sense.

I like the fact that you can romance all of them and even when married, it gives a lot of freedom to the player and I really like that.

Also, I married Alex. He's such a sweet ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

It would actually be neat if, once you did get married, it did trigger other characters to start getting married as well, but I guess that's a lot extra programming to do. I love this game and there is so much to do but as it is a primarily a one person developer studio, there will be limitations that we might not be so complacent with if it were a larger studio.

What if they're already your partners? It wouldn't exactly work out that well.

And there are those who want to experience the other candidates' heart events (including the 10 heart one) even when married, and the marriage rivalry mechanic would ruin their freedom of doing so.

If this ever gets implemented though, they should make it so that the player can choose whether or not they want marriage rivalry, that way everyone would be happy

It's a neat idea, but it shouldn't be forced on those who don't want it.

Well, I'm not one for rivalry but I would love it if you could do a little match making for the other single people. I married Sam and occassionally he does ask about when Sebastian and Abigail would get together. I think it would be really cool to see my other friends find some love too and maybe get my kid a little friend.

You can't get pasted 6 hears with them though, right?
I've been in the process of raisinging everyone's heart level, and the marriage candidates have stopped at 6.
I married Alex too.

I get what everyone is saying, but I do wish there was a little more progress with the villagers. A few times I'll see marriage candidates with, what looks to be their crush, and I wonder how their story could have progressed if they got married after I picked my partner. It would also be cool to see progress with villagers who aren't a part of the marriage section, such as Clint and Emily.

Regardless, it's a great game. I've enjoyed it a lot more than Harvest Moon, and from what I can tell, Harvest Moon's production team and such seems to be a lot bigger.

There are only two candidates that aren't my girlfriends, mostly due to me having no interest in them.
It is DEFINITELY possible to romance everyone all the way up to 10 hearts when married.

I'll have to go to the shop and buy a bouquet then!... A few of them.
Thanks for sharing that. What an interesting addition to the game.
Although I feel slightly bad, since Alex would always ask if he had to worry about other candidates because I was giving them gifts, aha. ^.-

Just make sure to gift him before you gift them, Alex has never lost any hearts for me, only a bit dissappointed in me, though, he gets happy easily.
