Key Information
- Steam's 1.0 notes confirm raised heart caps, proposal events, wedding events, marriage, and children.

- The 1.0 FAQ says that dating multiple characters before marriage is allowed, but other dates become best friends after marriage.

Details
Fields of Mistria romance is no longer limited to early relationship scenes. The official 1.0 update added ten-heart proposal events, wedding events, marriage, and children. NPC Studio also explicitly states that marriage candidates are not locked by gender, so a page should avoid gendered route assumptions.
The structured 1.0 fan reference names twelve romanceable villagers: Adeline, Balor, Caldarus, Celine, Eiland, Hayden, Juniper, March, Reina, Ryis, Seridia, and Valen. It says a romantic decision appears in the eight-heart scene, then the proposal route is available at ten hearts. This is useful operational guidance, but it remains unofficial data and should be checked in the current client before exposing every event trigger.
NPC Studio's 1.0 FAQ resolves two common questions. Players who were dating more than one character before marriage see those other relationships switch to best-friend status after marriage. Players also control whether they have a child. Use a spoiler-light main page with clear warnings before describing specific scenes, children, or proposal items.
