While Fields of Mistria is lauded for its well-developed romance options and engaging storylines, the straightforward answer to whether you can go on dates with romanceable NPCs is currently no. However, the existing romance system is robust and well worth the investment.
The November 2024 update significantly enhanced the romance system, increasing the maximum relationship level from four hearts to six and adding new heart events for each romanceable character. These events, featuring playable cutscenes, unlock at two, four, and six hearts. Further updates are planned to add eight- and ten-heart events, though specifics remain unannounced beyond a planned March 2025 update (which won't include additional heart levels or events).
Despite the lack of explicit "dating" mechanics, the current romance system shines. The dialogue is richly written and subtly flirty, allowing for romantic interpretations even in seemingly platonic interactions. The progression feels rewarding, building intimacy organically.

A key addition in the recent update is the Shooting Star Festival. This summer event allows players with four hearts with a chosen romance option to initiate a date-like experience. While a similar stargazing event with Caldarus exists, it currently lacks the full date sequence. Future updates, particularly the March 2025 update focusing on the dragon's romance storyline, may alter this.
In conclusion, while official "dates" aren't currently a feature, Fields of Mistria's engaging narrative and evolving romance system provide a compelling experience. The game's ongoing development promises further enhancements to its already impressive romantic elements.
