Does anyone know how can be noticed by the historians for the ending?
I cannot pass the second matchmaker interview for anything. I've been trying for three days (doing both a Jiyel and a Hise background.) I have four or fewer stats less than 50, and I earned the "girl to bring home" achievement. Is it something to do with my relationships?
Or is it better to play a few runs in causal instead of challenge mode to get a feel for the game? I typically try to avoid walkthroughs on my first several runs, but now even after looking at the guides, I'm still struggling, haha.
it could be a relationships thing or an approval thing! also every skill greater than 75 will give you bonus points, same with every knowledge over 50 (or 25, in the case of secrets)
as for relationships i think you need high friendship + respect + romance with as many people as possible + little to no rivalry + high kingdom faction approval - my recommendation is to host events both weeks and generally go on as many dates as your skills/personality will let you pass
Guys is there an epilogue cg and bonus stat for Jasper?
I'm playing as a moral widow and did everything the guide say to get perfect endings for all the kingdoms but somehow i can only get the perfect ending for Jiyel and Arland as well as golden ending for Revaire. High skills and maximum approval from all the kingdoms without missing anything (in the guide) yet the only thing i get is the proposal to stay with him and marry but only friends at the epilogues.
Is my forth time trying and nothing, not even using the remaining power. The only thing that i didn't get was Lisle and Zarad secret (for blackmail) and i'm playing on Story Mode.
Anyone have any idea what im doing wrong? I followed everything on the community guide and Katyia Legacy guide (meaning even Aly advices).
If you’re able to marry Jasper but didn’t get his epilogue cg, then you’re missing legendary endings from some countries.
Are you sure you have fulfilled all the conditions listed in the quickstart section in the big spreadsheet guide? If the answer is yes, then you probably need to choose more choices that fits your best stats. Can’t really see what is missing with your play through without knowing your stats and choices made in detail, though as a widow who managed golden ending for Revaire you should have all the stats to succeed.
to get jasper's bonus stats and epilogue, you need to get Katya's legendary ending, ,meaning you have to restore peace in Revaire without a civil war and all NATIONS must have the best peace agreements. 
The fact that you only get the perfect ending only for Jiyel and Skalt, tells me that for the other negotiations that you lack either positive relationships with the others involved or you don't have the right amount of skills. 
Choosing the right answers/ options during negotiations is the right step, but depending on the skill, which backs up whatever claim you choose your MC to say, it might backfire. 
You didn't mention that you gained Avalie as an ally. You need her to get Katya's legendary ending. Without her you can't. 
The Blackmailing is not relevant, you don't need to know Lisle or Zarad's secrets to get the legendary ending. You need to know Avalie's secret though, so that you are able to become her ally. 
Different person here. I got the legendary endings for Arland/Jiyel, Corval/Hise, and Skalt/Wellin. However, I think for Revaire I got the "good" ending, not the legendary one. Am I missing something?
Hi, sorry to bother anyone but I am having some trouble triggering the option to enter a political marriage while romancing a different character like Ria. I've done the three events in week 4/5 and I'm topped out on friendship with, say, Lisle and Penelope for instance... but nothing ever happens. I feel like I must be stupid or something since it doesn't seem like anyone else has asked about it. I would just appreciate some direction please.
Another beautiful person D: thank you so much. Imma get them bonuses and then I will still have several other playthroughs because I love this game so much. Thank you, your help really means a lot to me, I've been feeling so frustrated I even stopped playing for a couple hours before going back and just playing again because I can't stay away lol
btw I had a question. What is the requirement of getting a personal date in week 3? In my first playthrough of the proper game I couldn't get one for Gisette for some reason even though she seemed overall interested in me. I remember to be able to do that in the demo but not here. My relationship stats are almost equal parts friendship, romance and respect, is that the reason? Or was I wrong to also seduce her brother (I figured the way for us to be together would be a political marriage to her brother and looking at the guide I was correct).
Now at my last interview with the MM, there was no romance nor political marriage option so I dropped this playthrough for now to start over. Or is there still a chance for romance at this stage of the game?
so, there are two different kinds of routes in this game - full routes and secret routes (with some weird ambiguous edge cases like jarrod and lisle). the full routes are generally with the kinds of people the matchmaker would approve of you pairing off with, and they get week three dates. gisette is a secret route, so she doesn't get one. if your relationship values are high enough when you're going to see the matchmaker for the last time at the end of week three, she'll interrupt you on your way there, send jasper away, and imply that she's interested in you. (if you go to the gazebo right after the horse incident in week two you'll have a scene with her there that comes with a relationship boost, a stat boost and a CG, which are necessary to get the values high enough, i think?)
i'd actually avoid pursuing jarrod if you're interested in gisette unless you have the stats to talk him down after rejecting him - just be evil and avoid him, and gisette will do the rest
also, your relationships with Everyone are reliant on how well you perform at events, including the self-hosted ones - everyone you invite gets a big boost of friendship, respect, and potentially romance, which is great for building romance with the secret routes!
Hey, know this is pretty late, but after doing NG+ and just doing the fun stat building, I got down and used guides and scrolled through a lot. I've very much used the ones listed here, but the coder in me just wanted to build something that did the things I just really wanted (plus itching to be "productive"). So I created an online site for simplifying the stat builder process so that the options are easy to see and how they affect stats instead of flipping back and forth through things. This only fixes my needs for the character builder section currently (and not the -15, -10 at the end, which I might add later on).
