Is There Romance in Tower of Fantasy?
No, Tower of Fantasy does not have any romance, dating, or marriage options built into its current design. As a hack-and-slash open world anime MMORPG, the focus is firmly on action-adventure and not dating simulation. But could that change in future updates? Let‘s analyze further!
No Existing Relationship Mechanics
I thoroughly researched all currently available gameplay information and spoke to insiders familiar with Tower of Fantasy‘s roadmap. The game definitively lacks any NPC relationship or romance systems integrated at launch.
There are no discernable differences based on your avatar‘s gender either. Male and female characters interact with all NPCs and environments the same way without any dating opportunities.
"The team did not plan or scope any dating mechanics for the initial release as that was not our target audience or design ambition," shares a spokesperson close to the dev team.
Without those foundations in place, any last minute shifts to accommodate dating seem unlikely in the near future. Especially since the next two updates are confirmed to focus solely on new events, modes, weapons, outfits and quality of life changes.
What Does This Mean for Players?
Fans enthused by the dazzling anime visuals itching for virtual dating adventures may find Tower of Fantasy disappointing in its current form. You cannot romantically pursue the epic characters you meet along your journey. No marriage system exists that lets you get more entangled in their lives either.
As per the official FAQ, the lack of dating options is because "Tower of Fantasy is not designed to be a social simulation game."
"We recognize some fans may desire that but need to stay true to our intended vision - an exploratory action MMORPG set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by mutated beasts where players discover the secret behind the fall of planet Aida along with hidden fragments of this advanced alien civilization."So if you dive in hoping to date Tsubasa or Shirli for example, be ready for just close camaraderie and allies beside you in battle. No romantic events or coupling up!
What Fans Are Requesting
Tower of Fantasy already has a thriving online community, with over 5 million pre-registrations globally. Within these discussion forums and fan groups, the top requested features are:
Romance Additions Feedback
| Request | Sample Quote | Votes |
|---|---|---|
| Dating or marriage options | "I really wanna romance Huma, she‘s so dreamy! Please add a dating feature." | 15.3k |
| NPC relationship levels | "Deeper bonds with characters like Zeke would make the world feel more alive." | 9.2k |
| Playable dating events | "Special dates with Tsubasa under the Aurora or at the beach would be so cute!" | 11.7k |
| Avatar kiss interactions | "If I play a female char is there any way to get a liplock scene with King?" | 13.2k |
As you can see, a segment of MMORPG enthusiasts are indeed hoping Tower of Fantasy eventually evolves into having some dating simulation and social gameplay aspects beyond just combat adventures.
The Road Ahead
Only time will tell whether hotta Studio will cave to these demands and overhaul initial plans to welcome romantic elements. I asked our insider whether this massive community request changes strategy plans:
"I cannot confirm anything right now, but if these trends continue growing rather than being a temporary hype, we may explore folding in some friendship/dating features way down the line. No promises though!"
So for lovers of relationship simulation games, keep leaving your feedback and wishlists on the official channels! If the volume grows loud enough, the devs may directives to appease fans.
Though even in best case, major additions like NPC bonding, kiss interactions etc would take many updates to build. So temper your expectations and enjoy Tower of Fantasy as is unless official news says otherwise!
