After 130 hours in Fields of Mistria (so far) and getting married thrice (so far), I've learned a lot about how romance and marriage work. In some ways Mistria has a super permissive romance system (plausible deniability polyamory) and in other ways it's a bit restrictive (you must confess your feelings, or else!). This is your exhaustive walkthrough on heart events, scenes you won't want to miss, and exactly how dating around works before and after marriage.
At first, there are 10 eligible singles among your new neighbors. There's a whole lot more dialogue in Mistria than most farm sims, so you'll want to talk with all of them regularly, even multiple times per day, to really get to know them. You can refer to my Mistria marriage candidates list for a little hint on what each of their personal storylines are like. Two other singles are revealed later in the story that you'll often see other players refer to as the "secret bachelor/ette."
Like other farm sims, you can give items to characters to earn Friendship Points. You can give one gift to each character every day. Use my Mistria gift guide to earn points with each marriage candidate fastest.
You'll need to keep up with the main story to get the most out of romance. Work on Adeline's town upgrades so you can go on a once-a-yea Shooting Star Festival date at the end of summer.
At certain friendship point thresholds you'll unlock heart event scenes with each marriage candidate. They've all got their own cute character arc and at the end you can become best friends or begin dating them.
After reaching 8 hearts, you can confess your feelings and begin dating a marriage candidate. You can date multiple characters at once without consequence, so I recommend getting close to a few for fun!
I'm not joking about keeping up with the main story! You'll be in for a rude awakening when you want to get engaged if you haven't spent time in the mines. Getting to 8 hearts with Eiland and Juniper and reaching level 100 of the mines are both prerequisites to proposing.
When you reach 10 hearts with a character you're dating you can craft an engagement ring and then get married. Wedding days in Mistria are so detailed. It's such an indulgent payoff for folks who love romance in farm sims. You'll make choices about decorations, food, and your outfit to personalize the day. There are also some great cameos by family members of certain characters.
