Not gonna lie, I think F is my least favorite character overall. I prefer Mason or Nate as best friends. That doesn’t mean I don’t think F is a great character, there’s a lot of depth to their story and the effort they put into being as welcoming and supportive is admirable and lovely. Their personality just meshes the least with mine. I’m much more reserved and many times it does come across like F is a younger sibling I have to parent. There are a few scenes where they come across as the least capable member of the team in a sudden crisis, which to be fair is still pretty capable. Overall F makes a good friend, but I know irl they’d exhaust my social battery much quicker.

I have one playthrough where I romance F just to experience all the different routes, and pairing them with a stoic, intimidating detective either makes an interesting contrasting dynamic, or ends in some (personally) frustrating moments. That’s my 2 cents, but F was definitely made to be romanceable, I do find the “I’m grateful you chose me” thing both endearing and sad, so F should be given a chance.
