After exactly two years in early access, shoujo-ified farm sim Fields of Mistria 1.0 is launching. Whether you've been playing consistently all this time or coming back after trying it two years ago, here's what you need to know about what's changing in the full release version of Mistria.
Rest your weary hands from all those donation box deliveries. Mistria will finally be fulyl repaired and upgraded after its earthquake thanks to your tireless material gathering.
Mistria launched with just four unlockable friendship hearts per character, adding eight over early access. In the full release, you can unlock a 10 heart cutscene with datable characters.
Finally, you'll be able to move on from dating your beaus to choosing just one to marry and have children with. Seeing your partner carry your baby around is, frankly, adorable.
Two new merchants join the weekly Saturday Market lineup: Stillwell and Zorel.
Mistria is also getting an achievements system which will reward you retroactively.
You don't need to start a new save file for the 1.0 launch and personally I didn't. The biggest changes coming in the launch version of the game are mostly ones being added on to extend the story, so it shouldn't feel weird to play through even if you're in year three or four. I've come back to play Mistria a couple times after its early access updates and story content that's been added has always felt like a pretty natural flow from where I left off.
You also won't need a new save file to get any of the new achievements added to the game. They'll all be earned retroactively based on what you've done in your save so far.
