...Don't mind me, I'm just thinking about how when they removed Terry as a marriage candidate, they also probably removed some hinted-at lore.

Like, there's the line when he implies that there's a particular personal reason for taking Cecil under his wing the way he did! And one of the removed lines references being an awful little kid in the Empire. There is a STORY there!

Oh well. "There is a crack in the storytelling, that's how the fanfiction gets in" and all.

[my-current-obsession]

So I went searching for more info about the marriage candidates for the new Rune Factory...

I'm honestly SHOCKED they made Hina one of them. I could maybe understand if she was a DLC love interest but no, she's one of the main 6 girls! My feelings on the matter are pretty mixed.

I imagine most people going into this game, myself included, have played RF5, so we already know and love her... as a child. Sure, she's an adult in this new game, but it will still be a bit weird. I'm happy she's in the game but I don't know if I'll be able to get past my association to her kid-self in RF5. It's a strange choice to suddenly have a character from an older game be SO important in this one, given all the previous "returning" characters only ever had bit roles so the new characters could take center stage.

I'll be interested to see how her personality has changed and how mature she seems. Either way I don't have a specific marriage candidate in mind yet but I do plan to go for a guy first probably, so I'll have ample chance to get to know the "new" her before deciding whether I like her inclusion as an option.

EDIT - I've been informed that RF2 had a character originally from RF1 and she was also a love interest. But in my defense that is still one (1) example of this happening before compared to at least four (4) games each with one (or more!) returning characters who only played minor roles.

Do You Know This (Non-canon) Autistic Character?

Evidence below the cut!

He's an eccentric detective who basically lives on bread and milk, and wears dark glasses everywhere. He has dialogue about how people call him rude and he's not sure why, and other characters mention him putting together blank jigsaw puzzles for fun. The only reasonable explanation is that he's One of Us!

I’m literally running two farms by myself right now, Terry 🙄

[jake-marshall]

So despite all my recent yapping about Mayomust, most of my screencaps this playthrough were Cecil + Terry related. Posting this if for no other reason than for posterity. They ruin me (affectionate).

This took forever my bad gang lol, but anyways heres cecil and terry!

I dont have any mlp related stuff i could add to cecil but for terry id imagine he’s got some donkey genetics in him (natural coat coloring and ears) so he cant use magic as efficiently as he wants, however he’s a damn good detective so he’s not too bummed about the lack of magic

Reddit Bozos: Eww Cecil he's so young he's so annoying he shouldn't be a bachelor he shouldn't be in the game at all I avoid all his events I pretend he doesn't exist and you should too. Anyway I love Terry why can't we marry him instead every single thing about him is just so interesting!!

OUTDATED POST

Last updated 8/18/23, please check the bracket posts for the most up-to-date competitor list.

Sorted alphabetically by game for easy searching.

These are (almost) all of the bracket participants! There are a few who are still up in the air. Please do not get upset with me if your blorbo did not qualify; I did my best to research each game I was unfamiliar with. The most common reason for a character to be disqualified was being from a game without any romance at all.

Note that some of these may be removed, as my attempts at research may not have been sufficient.
