Back on my Palia fix like I am every spring season >_<
With new updates, there’s just me stuck here wondering about the routes singularity 6 can go if/when they decide to extend villager quests. I can’t remember where I heard it but I think (?) they plan to add marriage someday
And like - wouldn’t it be cool if there are new heart events that build to it (since the romancables have 5 now, I would imagine the extension would go to 10. Basically few new quests and the 10th being marriage where we propose the Majiri way).
…but just imagine that for one of those quests (maybe the 8th? Since we get the romancable pin first before we give them one, it could be similar) that the candidate tries to do something ‘human’ for the player’s proposal. Since the player spent a lot of time and effort trying to understand how things work in Majiri culture, y’know? Tit for tat. Heart for heart.
Human history/culture is twisted a bit in Palia’s lore…but it’s fun to imagine what each romancable may dig up in their own research and how they’d try to spin it.
Hassian - who goes on a deep dive in humanity’s traditional courting. He realizes he can’t ask your parents’ permission, so he gets miffed and decides he should approach your Shepp instead (or if he is your Shepp, he goes to anyone you have a 5 heart completion with an offering. It’s hilarious, everyone’s a bit freaked out, but also so sweet). He also gets really into wedding rings and smiths yours himself, using the stone associated with your astrology sign. Not Majiri’s chosen star stones but the ones tied to our calendar/birthdays.
Tish - who takes the whole ‘new life, new home’ idea and absolutely rolls with it. She drafts schematics for a new house to be built on a separate plot close to yours. Her home can go to Reth, and your home can simply be converted into more space for your workshop/Garden/Etc. She also gets deeply invested in ancient human decor and creates an entire bedroom set based on your taste and her’s.
Reth - who cooks an entire feast. The biggest wedding cake you have ever seen. One with five layers and big enough for all of Kilma to share. You’re not aware its for a wedding though. He gets Ashura in on the plan (*gasp* He asks for help. Character growth) and devises some big excuse about the Inn hosting a congregate of watchers. Except you get first dibs of course. He’s sweating up a storm when you go to take a bite, but stop at the ring sitting on a heartdrop lily shaped out of icing. He practiced his piping skills for weeks to make that, by the way.
Jina - who came across records of old films made by humans. I’m talking the ones on tape projectors. Einar had them stashed in the far back of his cave. Nevermind that these are undocumented discoveries…but one of them is an old-timey, black ‘n’ white 1950s New York romance. It hits her that there is still so much to know about human customs, but they sure do smoke a lot of cigars after a spaghetti dinner…it’s super out of her comfort zone, but she enlists Hekla to help prepare something exactly like the film. She doesn’t have a ring (too nervous for that) but hopes that recreating it will jog your memory and possibly drop a not-so-subtle hint. She ends up babbling and asking you to marry her anyways (after choking on cigar smoke).
…I could keep going, but you get the picture. Man am I excited for that update if/when it ever comes. There is so much potential here for both what the romancables can do, but also whatever bs we’re going to have to go through in order to adhere to Majiri tradition lol.
Please don’t demand another heartdrop lily of me or duskwing butterfly. I beg. Jel, I’m looking at you bro.
