Definitely starting to see where hareming kicks you in the butt. Vishnal and Leon are being difficult for me now haha and they're my last two.
But this guide has helped so much in getting to the point I'm at so thank you everyone that contributed!

Definitely try the "confess right as they hit the next heart level" trick. This made my life MUCH easier. Wait until they're almost to the next LP level, save, give them a gift that will push them to the next LP level, and then confess.

Edit: Ok triggered Smile Practice. That leave's Eyeglass Mania, A Day in Leon's Life, Doug's Secret, and Shiny Memories as the only pre-req events I need before the marriage events start triggering. Wooo! Still blown away by how completely random triggering events is >.< While doing the soft reset trick I accidentally triggered Vishnal's marriage event (NO YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I SEE EVERYONE ELSE'S I WANT TO MARRY YOU VISHIE) and immediately restarted. The event that I ended up triggering the same day after the restart? Volkanon's Someone Has the Wrong Idea.

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I am a bit curious about the animated cutscenes and how they extend between files.
I did a "test-run" on one save file and married Kiel, saved, and his marriage event animated cutscene is in the trophy room Projector even when I play my non-married file. I slept through a while on that married file and had a son as well, saved, and now the new game opening

Spoiler:

is unlocked, and I hear the son's voice on the title screen.
Has anyone tested if these features will disappear if the married file/the file that was used to unlock the animated cutscenes is saved over by a different file? In other words, if I save over the married file with my non-married file, will I still retain Kiel's marriage event animated cutscene in the projector for all of my future files, and will the new game opening still play even if all of my files are then non-married files?
I want to unlock all of the marriage event animated cutscenes, but I don't want to see each event and have to turn everyone's proposals down to wait for the others. But, if that is the only case, then I'll do it.
Thanks in advance to anyone that has the answer!

I'm finishing my hareming on one file to see ALL marriage events but restarting my first file seeking a specific person from the beginning. I feel pretty confident I'll be able to play this game through a LOT.

Have you seen the two town events that are pre-reqs to his proposal? Have you gone on 3 dates? Check the first page for more info.

Triggering town events (including the proposals) is random. Completely random. You probably aren't missing anything, just have to sort through the randomness of triggering town events until you finally see it

Good! At least that part is done ^^ Town events trigger randomly. It'll eventually show up, don't worry! Maybe try adding Kiel to your party and sleep/soft reseting until he leaves?

yeah did that too ...i skip for than a month nothing happen..maybe i'll just wait...

If you've skipped for a month and nothing has happened, you need to stop skipping and go talk to all of the town characters, as that pretty much means you've activated another sub-event. You'll need to finish it before you can continue to skip.

It's taken some people in-game years to activate the marriage events, so unfortunately it just boils down to patience and time.

So, when exactly should the request to get the ring appear? I've been on over three dates with some of my girlfriends. Amber, Meg, Clorica and Xiao Pai have 8 hearts.
EDIT: Rope, I've updated the events list with the translated names. I hope it helps:

Spoiler:

I also really think you have to see How To Make A Pile of Money and It's A Mistery! to marry Forte and Kiel and Florist by Day, Sleuth by Night! to marry Amber, but I didn't add them because I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks for the list Rune! Added! :D

For the bachelors, it pops up actually after you finish the marriage sub-event, I'm actually not too sure when it does for marrying the bachelorettes. Maybe at 10LP? Can someone else verify?

rachellion · Post Posted: Nov 03, 2013 12:11 pm

Just spoke to Kiel and triggered his marriage event, horray first one! I plan to watch all of them and then propose, or I may just watch all of them and rig it so either Vishnal or Dylas are the last ones I see and accept their proposal

Just to verify, you can watch the event and turn them down and still propose later, correct? They'll still accept?
