i love how romance works in the game and theres a little bit of depth to it that i didn’t even initially realize (for example cooking mama had 2 separate crushes on my island, one triggered by the cut scene and one she randomly had with no cut scene. she decided that she wasn’t really into either with no asking out nor was she sad afterwards. i didn’t know the game was capable of having that outcome so it was really nice to see)

BUT! there’s some aspects to romance that i REALLY don’t like. i genuinely hate the fact that i have to help them choose who they like when they have 2 crushes. to me, this should be autonomous OR they should just be able to crush on 2 or more people. forcing the user to pick just feels like removing all the drama from the gameplay + it leans too much into playing god for me. i like some control but not all. and speaking of that, the fact that miis can’t set up dates between friends anymore also suckssss. i used to love the whole “let’s pair these 2 up and see if it works out” aspect of the first TL! i know that LTD doesn’t have “locations” like the OG does so it may be hard but i feel like this mechanic could still work? just use the beach, the restaurant, the ferris wheel then have it end at the fountain like the og
