Fields of Mistria will not see a price increase with 1.0, potential console ports will be evaluated later

NPC Studio has published a new FAQ for its retro anime-inspired life-sim RPG Fields of Mistria ahead of its 1.0 launch on August 5 for PC (Steam).

Fields of Mistria originally launched via Early Access two years prior on August 5, 2024. NPC Studio has confirmed that it will evaluate potential console ports after the 1.0 launch. The developer also confirmed that there are no plans to raise the price for 1.0. Achievements in Fields of Mistria 1.0 will be retroactive as well. Anything you have earned in-game will be unlocked with the 1.0 release. You can find the full 1.0 FAQ below:

Fields of Mistria 1.0 Update FAQ

As we get closer to Fields of Mistria’s upcoming 1.0 release date, we wanted to take this opportunity to answer some frequently asked questions from our players. We hope you will find them helpful!

To read about the new features coming in the 1.0 release, please see our previous post here.

When will Fields of Mistria’s 1.0 Update release?

Please see the release time map below:

Will I need to start a new save file for 1.0?

No, all saves will carry over to 1.0, and players will be able to experience all the new content regardless of how far into Fields of Mistria they are.

Will the price of Fields of Mistria rise for its 1.0 release?

No, we do not plan to raise the price of Fields of Mistria for 1.0.

Will I need a new save for achievements?

No, players will retroactively earn achievements for things they’ve already accomplished and won’t need a new save file for early-game achievements.

Will there be content after 1.0?

Yes, we are planning for additional content updates and patches after 1.0.

Will Fields of Mistria be coming to console?

We are currently focused on bringing the game to its 1.0 release on PC, and will evaluate potential ports at a future time. Please stay tuned.

What will happen to my other relationships when I get married?

If you were dating multiple characters prior to getting married, they will switch to “best friend” status afterward.

Will I have the ability to opt out of having a child after marriage?

Yes. The player has full control over whether or not they decide to have a baby.

What languages will Fields of Mistria be localized into? 

We currently have plans to release the "Beta" translations for Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, Japanese, Korean, Russian, and Spanish for our 1.0 release. We may add additional languages at a later date.

What can I expect from “Beta” localizations?

Gameplay features and content in the 1.0 update will be accessible by any player regardless of selected language, but translated text (particularly for late-game features) may be missing or incomplete initially depending on the selected language. 

The Beta localizations will be updated and improved regularly until they are ready to be considered fully released. If a piece of text is unavailable in your selected language, it will temporarily appear in English.

We estimate that each Beta language will be around 75% complete when 1.0 releases.

Why release the localizations in “Beta”?

Over the two years that Fields of Mistria has been in Early Access, listening to player feedback has been a major component of our development process. We believe that by similarly listening to feedback from early adopters of our Beta localizations, we can ultimately provide a better final localization.

Thank you in advance to those players who plan to provide feedback and report issues. We will provide a link to official report forms for each Beta language once the 1.0 update goes live!
