There's a new localization blog, too, including specifically this topic, if anyone wants to know more about how things went on. Apparently this will come to the Japanese version via patch later on.

I wonder if that survey they did had any impact, or if that came too late to be responsible for any of this. They specifically say that this did NOT delay the release in NA. There's lots of info here...should answer quite a few questions.

I just saw this and immediately came here to celebrate, but now I can't even find the words. It means so much to me! I actually cheered out loud.

This is so exciting! Im so happy for anyone who really wanted this in game (I did too)
It’s amazing how XSeed did all that extra work to include those different voice lines and smaller thing like changing the marriage stamp.
Im looking forward to this game even more now.

Wow, I'm just so happy! More candidates to choose from regardless of gender is always great gameplay-wise, and representation matters too.

I didn't think I could be more excited for this game to come out, but here I am, boarding the hype train in first class lmao

Rune Factory PR has tweeted about this and it looks like (but of course I can't be certain of accuracy) they're saying that same-« Chicken Hugging » marriage will be added with the next upcoming update, at the end of this year. I'll put the Tweet here so people who can actually read it can check for themselves. (They did an update today, btw...version 1.0.11...but that doesn't include marriage changes. This is for the *next* update, it appears.)

Yeah I think they will release the same « Chicken Hugging » marriage patch for JP version in the end of this year. This makes me think there will be an expansion pass? I sure hope so! I don't mind paying for extra content / DLC.

I also can't wait to see all the pre-order outfits! :heart: :heart: :heart:

I was watching with my friend and I jumped out of my seat and cheered. He was confused since it was such a short scene he didn’t know what I was excited about :lol:

I just. Saw it. Brain imploded.

Return to 28:10. At 28:15ish, it plays again. Still cannot believe it. Afraid it's a trick or that I'm misunderstanding.

Rereturn to 28:15. Pause. Almost look at it frame by frame. It's still there. The outfits are wedding dresses and the typical RF wedding flower crowns.

Keep looking at those same 20 seconds while getting myself here to get the tea.

Holy moley, it's real. I'm just. Happy.

XSeed, my beloved.

This makes me so happy! I was hoping they might give us sprite swap from the start of the game, but this--! This is a million times better, I totally didn't expect this.

Most of the comments I've read on the Japanese twitter account are complaints, makes me sad... and one guy also blaming the West for making it so he can't marry the loli (Livia)... uhh... anyway I hope they add same gender romance from the start in the next game. :S I'm sure there are lots of Japanese fans who are glad of the inclusivity.

I'm so happy! This of course changes everything on how I was gonna play the game. Now I only have to play as Ares and date everyone at once, unlock the wedding CG for each candidate, and end the file by marrying my favorite bachelor (I still hope it's Murakumo)

I saw a lot of Japanese player who were excited to have SSM, so hopefully the ones you saw were just fringe comments.

And about that loli comment, in both the West and the East everyday people find loli really gross so I have to wonder if that guy never talked about his love for it outside if the internet. Just ignore him.
