Custom Character and Lohse Romance?

[Frozen Esper]

How does the romance feature work in this game. Do both characters have to be origin characters in order for the romance stuff to kick in, or can a custom character and an origin character work as well? I am about to head over to the Nameless Isle with Lohse as duel lonewolves, but I have yet to see any romance options.

Doesnt need to be an origin char, custom also works.
Just be nice to her, I think she should have hugged you by now or sth. The more 'interesting' part of the romance happens after you leave nameless isle.

The last thing I can recall that's closest to romance is earlier in the game I told her I liked her and she kind of sang and told me she liked me too. Other than that, it's been about getting the demon out of her head.

Well, to be fair, getting a demon that can take control of you at times out of your life would be a high priority, especially if you don't want that demon hurting your loved ones.

Anyone can be romanced by everyone. No matter wich character you want to romance or playing at, every romance only realy kicks off at the start of the last act.

well remember, the demon is still in Lohse's head when you eventually get the chance to ♥♥♥♥ her.

Just be nice to her,

I've been nice to all my allies and talked to all of them a lot. Yet Ifan is the only one out of the three who has been creeping on me. My main character is Sebille, if that makes any difference

How did the game decide to make Ifan do that? How did the game decide not to make the other characters also do that?

If it's a matter of "just be nice to them," then why aren't all three of them creeping on me like Ifan does?

Do bear in mind that you can start the game off with a full team of whomever you like by launching multiple instances of the game directly from the install folder, but in doing so, the characters are treated as player characters and cannot have interactions. Not that you set up this way, just a warning if you decide to play again and learn of this to get full customization of your team from level 1. I just did this method myself, but only with three, recruiting the companion my "main" would romance. In theory, you could create two characters from the start and have each recruit to have two romantic interests in one game.

Just food for thought for the future.

The characters just act very differently. It seems that Ifan has a crush on you after that scripted driftwood tavern scene. Even if you tell him you are not interested, he still acts like that.
Lohse never acts like that. She has some emotional outbursts (or breakdowns...), but seems rather distant in her usual dialogue even after you romance her. If you romance her and kill the demon, she says sth like "I choose us" but if you talk to her outside of this special dialogue, she is calm and distant once again.
As for Sebille, her dialogue is managed very well imo. After you romance her, her voice gets noticeably warmer when she adresses you even in the usual dialogue. So, the voice actress did a great job, I guess? Or whoever wrote the script?
But I can understand you have some problems with how these interactions sometimes are very different from char to char and dont always match the nature of the char.
