With so many bachelors and bachelorettes in the city of Mistria, you may be wondering who is worth romancing and who is best left in the friend zone. Here are the best romances in Fields of Mistria rated.
The best romances in Fields of Mistria ranked
While Fields of Mistria is in Early Access (and will likely stay that way until winter), there are still plenty of locals you can build a budding relationship with, and not all of them are the same. I’ll be ranking these relationships from worst to best. And don’t worry, these verdicts are spoiler-free!
10. Juniper
It physically pains me to place Juniper so low on this list, as she is the villain I want to endgame with. But despite light Juniper’s arc is painfully monotonous, and best suited to Mistria, no matter the season. She remains devious, smug, and borderline villainous from Hearts One to Hearts Four, and only really seems to gain the depth she desperately needs when you catch her talking to Valen or Tabitha on Friday night. She really shines in the company of these older women, and I found myself rooting for her to end up with Valen, even though I was standing right here with all of her favorite foods.
9. Adeline
Next up is our beautiful and organized Adeline. She was practically born with a quill in her hand and a spreadsheet in her head. And, well, that’s pretty much it. While like Juniper, she’s an absolute goddess at running a town and taking care of business, she struggles to be more than that. And that includes your gatherings. The reason she outdoes Juniper is because despite her superficial first story arc, she still comes across as more human than Juniper. Her efforts to be a ray of sunshine for Mistria while actively fighting to relax and enjoy the moment are very real.
8. Island
Like his sister, Eiland has one overarching trait: a love for all things historical. It’s the topic of every conversation, and only interrupted when he happens to be near candy. And yet he manages to beat the other lovesick locals on this list for one reason. His relationship scenes are kind of cool. Without giving too much away, this is the only storyline that seems to relate to the overarching plot of . Mistria and thus offers a more interesting love story than his sister. But he Is The writing style is a bit flatter than its sister, so the two may sound different to you.
7. Celine
It is almost painful to see the poster girl of Fields of Mistria so low, but romance is not without its share. Celine, like the others on the list so far, suffers from a one-dimensional disorder. But at least her single dimension is pretty sweet. Celine is obsessed with botany, and not just because she makes cute bouquets. She actively grows and researches them, and during her heart events, she takes you along for the ride.
While that doesn’t sound much better than the twins or even Juniper, Celine secures a higher spot due to her sprite’s expressions, which suggest that she has more personality than she lets on, and that her sunny exterior may be just that – an exterior. When you tell her before the Spring Festival that you would do anything for her, she is visibly nervous. And when you beat her at said festival, she congratulates you, but there is a dark (but subtle) shadow on her smiling sprite that makes her a little curious.
6. Valentine
Valen was my second best after Juniper when it came to potential brides, and I was initially very disappointed when I met her. She’s sober, professional, and almost boring, which is a crime in any dating simulator. When you imagine what she does at the end of the day, you probably think of her in a monochromatic room, with a book on her lap, classical music in the background, and a glass of wine in her hand. Then she probably goes to bed at 10pm sharp. And still! Her heart events reveal some much-needed nuance and a strange secret she’s determined to keep. While I can’t give her any points for personality, her heart events make me very excited to see what’s in store for us in the next update.
March 5
I know some people are fuming at seeing March, the undisputed fan favorite, look so bad. And I can understand why. March is a character with depth. On the surface, he is hostile, rude, and condescending. But when you get to know him and talk to the people around him, it becomes clear that he has a good heart, wants to see Mistria succeed, and has a competitive spirit as big as his uncolored roots. In many ways, he is‘S the quintessential love interest in so many romance novels. And while people love to see that icy shell thaw and slowly warm up, the story arc is a little boring to me for one reason: it shows us the goods too early. In Early Access, we only have four hearts to unlock with each love interest. But once we reach the end of the four-star event, there’s not much left to look forward to. The pacing is just a little off.
4. Ryis
Ryis is March, but without the chip on his shoulder, and it’s only natural that he’d outdo the blacksmith. While he doesn’t have a big, spectacular entrance, Ryis is a cornerstone of Mistria despite being, like you, new to town. And while his cheerful, laid-back personality can make him easy to overlook, his love affairs reveal a multifaceted personality that’s basically a mountain of green flags. If you want a slow-blooming romance so sweet it could give you a hole in your tooth, Ryis is undoubtedly the carpenter for you.
3. Balor
Balor is undoubtedly from Howl Howl’s Moving Castle Fame. And that will probably put him at the top of many people’s lists. But unlike Howl, Balor doesn’t have the same romantic charm (or the unbearable tantrums over a botched hair dye). What he does have is depth, a good heart, and a “will he or won’t he” moment. Without getting too into his scenes, Balor is ultimately a wandering merchant who wants to see Mistria succeed and subtly recruits you to his endeavors. But he acts like he only cares about the cold, hard truth. Essentially, he’s a much subtler, better-written March, and that’s why he beats out the most popular blacksmith. Plus, he’s prettier, and that’s got to count for something.
2. Queen
Reina is Alena, but better in almost every way. And I don’t just mean the fact that she’s cuter. Reina, the inn’s daughter, practically calls the shots, keeping the kitchen running, ensuring the supply of eggs and dairy, and even offering a detailed suggestion on how to improve the inn. And like Alena, she’s passionate. But she’s passionate in a way that’s not all-consuming. She makes time for the beach, for her friends, for her siblings. And if you happen to romance her, then so do you. Less of a character and more of a fully fleshed-out person, she easily secures the number two spot on this list.
1. Hayden
Hayden is what we call marriage material. His personality is a bit more subtle than the others on the list, but if you talk to him and attend his events, you’ll find there’s a lot more to him than you might think. Although he has an almost lonely aura (maybe it’s because his best friend is a chicken), he regularly invites friends from Mistria to his home for get-togethers and dinners, and if you happen to stop by a non-event dinner, he’ll share whatever they’re eating with you. In casual conversation, he’ll reveal that he knows Valen likes to make a fuss of him and considers stubbing his toe to give her something to help with. In conversations at the inn on Friday, he’ll mention wanting to cherish the first moments with his animals, and he reveals a small insecurity that he’s actively working to remove. This man is the definition of a good man. If he really existed, packs of wild men and women would fight tooth and nail to move into his house and live the typical cottage life.
Great work, Hayden; you are the most sought-after romantic in Field of Mistria. Except us, of course.
Fields of Mistria is now playable.
