Rune Factory 5's Best Character Can't Be Married

screenrant.com:

While Rune Factory 5 offers players numerous character options for dating and marriage, one of the best NPCs in Rigbarth isn't available to romance. Rune Factory 5, which was recently released for the Nintendo Switch, combines farming and slice-of-life simulation mechanics with JRPG combat and narrative. While the primary story surrounds the monster-hunting organization known as SEED, players will also spend large amounts of time completing quests for a cast of dateable characters, adding depth and emotional commitment to the player's purpose in the town.

While not the main function of the game, dating and marraige in Rune Factory 5 are an important mechanic that many fans enjoy. Like in Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons, players have the ability to meet and date multiple female and male characters, each with certain personality traits and job preferences that help distinguish them from each other. Rune Factory 5 has also added LGBTQA marraige options since its original 2021 release in Japan, allowing players to date any eligible character, regardless of the main character's selected gender.

His roguishly handsome design, mixed with his mysterious personality, make him quite appealing, but there is currently no way for Rune Factory 5 players
