I miss the time of Sacred Stone in which retreating actually meant you can be on your way, rather then being forced to defeat it.
Just to be clear my main issue is how the game forces you to do them.
Because I didn't find a clear overview on who is romanceable, I watched every S-support and ending to see which of them are romantic and which aren't. S-supports are the same for both male and female Eshmel.
Though I will say, even in the romantic section, some of them are hardly very romantic. Zarcone, for example, only has the ending card say he loves Eshmel, but that is it, really. Some, like Theodora's, are a lot more explicitly romantic.
Some paired endings also make Eshmel come off as some uncaring jerk. He really did not care to keep in touch with either Io or Halvin, for example.
If you got any questions about an ending, feel free to ask them.
The sad part is, I know my constant cheating won't matter, because I will still win either way.
Fun fact: Shez has 9 (4 male, 5 female) versions in Heroes. Rowan and Lianna both got 0.
