Summary
Paliais acozy life-sim MMO simwith a focus on building connections with NPCs and exploring a large, beautiful world with other players. Gamers can build their dream homes on their farmstead and live a life however they see fit in an exciting virtual world filled with many things to see and do.
One of the biggest aspects ofPaliais its friendship and romance options. There are currently 9 romanceable characters in Palia, with plenty more to be added in future updates. If players want to pursue relationships with certain characters, they will need to interact with them daily and gift items to build their friendship level and then take on romance questlines. Of course, thebest romance optionsare completely subjective to each player, but some romance options have slight advantages over others.
9Hassian
A Reserved Hunter Who Is Kind Of Grumpy But Super Cool
Hassianis a cool guy who kind of hangs around by himself and always seems kind of grumpy, but when players actually get to know him, he’s pretty nice and chill. He’s also got a super cute dog called Tau, which is always a bonus.
Hassian is thelocal hunting expertand will help the player improve their hunting skill as they build both friendship and romance levels with him. His reserved and sometimes rude nature might put most players off, but it might also attract others. As such, Hassian isn’t the perfect romance option for everyone, but he’s still a fun choice.
8Jel
A Suave, Snobbishly Charming, And Handsome Man
Another interesting option isJel, who is avery well-put-together tailor. He’s also incredibly arrogant and snobbish, but unfortunately, really quite handsome. His dress sense is second to none (as it should be for a tailor), so he always looks immaculate. He’s quick to critique the player and other villagers, often seeming rude and outspoken.
However, Jel is another villager who gets a lot nicer as the player befriends them. There will always be a certain level of snobbishness to his demeanor because that’s simply how he is, but it gets less and less in-your-face as both the friendship and romance levels increase. And besides, who wouldn’t want to date a professional tailor?
7Tamala
A Beautiful, Mysterious Witch From The Woods
Tamalais one of the best-looking Majiri out of all the romanceable options, but players have to go to great lengths to even meet and talk to her, let alone build friendship and romance points. She’s located on the outskirts of Bahari Bay, a fair trek away from anyone else, and has a mysterious quality to her.
She lives in the woods, andshe’s possibly a witch, but that’s just about all the information that anyone knows about her until players get to know her. And even then, she’s still pretty distant. The villagers inPaliawill warn the player to steer clear of her, but what would be the fun in that?
6Kenyatta
The Scary And Mischievous Daughter Of The Mayor
Kenyattais another character who is pretty intimidating at first but opens up more when players befriend them. She’s surprisingly quite romantic at heart and makes a great companion if gamers put the effort in togive her the right giftsand win her over.
Kenyatta is the daughter of the mayor and is always getting up to mischief. She’s bold, courageous, and incredibly rebellious, and players should always be up for a fun time if this is the romance option they wish to pursue. There’s some fierce competition from Nai’o, but players can easily win her over.
5Jina
A Cute, Archetypal Nerd Character
Jinais one of the first characters that players meet when they first playPalia, andshe definitely leaves a lasting impression. She’s cute, whimsical, and really quite charming, not to mention unexpectedly hilarious. She’s also one of the kindest characters and will make a fantastic romantic companion.
Jina is the classic nerdy character who is always talking about something they’re super passionate about and may or may not go straight over the player’s head. If that’s the type of character gamers are after, then Jina is the best choice and will make an excellent romantic partner in the game.
4Nai’o
The Prince Charming Of Palia
Sure,Nai’ois good-looking and essentiallyPalia’s version of Prince Charming, but sometimes, that’s just boring and not what everyone wants. It’s hard to deny that Nai’o is most certainly a very handsome man, but he’s also the archetype of a pretty boy, and that’s just not very exciting.
Despite this, Nai’o is still a great choice for a romance because he’s genuinely a nice person. Nai’o is a family man and always puts others before him. He’s basically perfect - almost too perfect, some might say. But hey, if Prince Charming is what players prefer, then there’s nothing wrong with that.
3Einar
Philosophical Robot Golem
Einarmight seem like a curious choice at first due to his robotic, metallic nature. However, if players put in the effort, a romance with Einar can be surprisingly fulfilling. Einar is Galdur (golem), a machine that was originally created by humans, and he’s often got some very interesting things to say.
He’s not a blabbermouth, and players will have to put the effort in to get him talking about somethingmore than fishing, but he can turn out to be very interesting and philosophical and genuinely makes a great romantic companion.
2Reth
A High-Spirited, Cool And Rebellious Youth
Rethis a cool guy, and not just any cool guy; he’s the coolest guy inPalia. He’s a naturally gifted smooth talker, so romancing him is a no-brainer. He’s a handsome man with a seriously awesome hairstyle, and he carries himself with a confident yet interesting demeanor.
He’s also a professional chef and will help players progress their Cooking Skill throughout the game, teaching them various new recipes and helping them unlock new appliances. It’s a win-win when it comes to dating Reth - great personality, great looks, and even better food.
1Tish
The Romance The Game Wants You To Have
Tishis pretty great, and she’s easily the romance thatPaliaprobably considers as the main option. She’s pretty, kind, caring, and generous, and any player would be silly not to think highly of her. She’s also a master carpenter when it comes to furniture and will help players with their Furniture Skill.
Tish has blonde hairand will prove incredibly helpful when it comes to decorating the player’s home, making her an excellent choice as a partner. She’s got this rural dress sense to her that makes her stand out from other villagers, and she’s just an all-around great character.
