All theories will be underlined, just like last time, so don't consider all this information to be true facts yet.
Likes and dislikes will be under spoiler tags.
Also, I'll be updating often so check back every day. :3
Plot
Set in the town of Selphia, the protagonist falls from an airship and onto Selzauide, the town's dragon and protector, and loses their memory. Even with the incident, Selzauide allows the protagonist to live in the caste, and from there must act as the town's prince/princess.
Frey/Lest tells whomever you're playing as has potential to be an Earthmate, just as the three protagonists before them.

Protagonists

Bachelorettes
(JP; Yuuki Aoi)
"You! Throw your garbage in the garbage bin!"
"Can I... hold your hand?"
A musician who plays every day at the restaurant. She has a serious, but caring personality. She dislikes when people litter, and has a catchphrase to emphasize it. She's also afraid of heights and may be Daria's sister.
"I'm not ungrateful as to forget the name of my life savior."
"I heard that it's a girlfriend's job to wait for her boyfriend to get out of the bath, so..."
She has a sarcastic personality and is apparently a fan of gothic things. She appears to be very close and maybe even protective of Pico, who's known her even when she was a monster, Marionetta. It's not known why this is, however, but she does sometimes speak through Pico.
Kohaku- (JP; Satou Satomi)
"It's flower season! ♪ Step aside, bugs! ♪"
A girl who's original form is that of a butterfly monster named Ambrosia. She can only be dated once defeated in battle. Speaks cheerfully when excited and, much like a plant, enjoys being in the sun. She's bright about nature and quite naive, as well. May be the first boss.
Xiaopai- (JP; Hisako Kanemoto)
"My mum is cute~"
"Once again, I'm in your care."
A girl from the east who runs both the inn and the bathhouse. While she finds both challenging, she doesn't hesitate from doing her jobs. Having to work so hard may be the reason why she's so curious and lively, so she's probably going to get into trouble involving a dungeon in some request. Likes baozi.
Forte- (JP; Sanae Kobayashi)
"I will protect Sir Lest!"
No, she isn't Saber. But, she is a knight! Like any knight should be, she's very serious about what she does. On the other hand, she's also pretty stubborn. Possibly Kiel's sister, or could be involved with him in some way.

Bachelors
(JP; Daisuke Namikawa)
"I'm going to keep training no matter what!"
"If you don't have any plans this afternoon, would you mind going somewhere with me?"
The butler responsible for training the protagonist. He is training to become a steward from an elder. He's very easy to fool, as he takes people's words at face value. Bishnal did not agree with his parents' opinions, and left to Selphia. Also has a polite/ not informal way of speaking and may be involved with the military. He also gets very... passionate when talking about his training.
(JP; Sugita Tomokazu)
"If you don't have any business with me, don't talk to me. I don't have time to mess around with you."
"Hey, hey, I'm just kidding. Don't take it seriously."
A fisherman who's original form is that of a nightmare steed— or, the much more ~*magical and happy*~ unicorn named Raiden. He doesn't speak much, but when he does, he's often taken the wrong way as his words come out awkward. Will there be innuendos? He's a unicorn, so maybe.
Arthur- (JP; Tatsuhisa Suzuki)
"Didn't I tell you? That negotiation is my specialty."
Still has a very nice bowl. Takes on a noble appearance, so it may seem as if he has a bit of an ego. He's in Selphia for unknown reasons, and is involved with the trade business. Seems to know quite a bit about... a lot of things. May have a mysterious background...?
Kiel- (JP; Hiro Shimono ♥)
"Being with Frey is fun!"
"About the person I love, I'll certainly want to know anything."
Selphia's resident shota. All he wants is to feel needed, which is the explanation for why he studies so much, even at his age. Possibly Forte's brother, or could be involved with her in some way.

Villagers
Volkanon
The emotional elder butler who has served the dragons all his life and helps the protagonist. He also doubles as a shopkeeper, where you use your Prince Points to buy items.
Jones- (JP; Miyasaka Shunzou)
"I'm happy enough just seeing Nancy's smile."
Husband of Nancy, meaning they're the third RF couple. (Rita&Turner and "Nusa".) He's a doctor and runs the Little Bandage clinic with his wife. Even though he's a doctor, he's afraid of blood, meaning Selfia must have been pretty desperate for a doctor. Anyway, he drinks tomato juice to overcome his fear, which isn't strange at all. Could've had a V8, after all. It's not specified whether he has children or not.
Nancy- (JP; Umeka Shouji)
Wife of Jones, meaning they're the third RF couple. (Rita&Turner and "Nusa".) She's a nurse and runs the Little Bandage clinic alongside her husband. She loves talking, so she may be a bit of a motor mouth. If a person comes by she feels she can hold a conversation with, she gets pretty excited. It's not specified whether she has children or not.
Illuminator
WHOOPS NOT A BACHELORETTE SORRY. Anyway, she might be the pilot of the airship Frey/Lest fall from.
Rinfa
Xiaopai's mother.
Pico "When I was in critical condition, I had Ruu-chan by my side."
"Do you mean, like forgetting Lest-kun's name...!?"
A girl (who may just be a doll) that is very close to Dolce, and sometimes allows her to speak through he own body. When she talks, she'll often use quotation marks around her speech. She may be cute, but you'd better not touch her unless you're Dolce!

Other Characters
Ventuswill- (JP; Satomi Akesaka)
The wind dragon, and the fourth in the series. It's seiyuu indicates it's a female, but it's not yet known.
Seriza
A small girl that is actually Ventuswill herself. So far, she's only been shown in the Dengeki manga. Apparently, she's meant to help with Lest's fields. It's unlikely that she'll appear in the game. (She isn't very popular.)

Undefined Residents
*Redhead shota
Was originally in a screenshot fighting with Frey, but I'm too lazy to find that.
*Girl with purple braids
Likely very close to Bishnal and Volkanon.
*Guy with cat ears
Pretty sure the second link has him in it anyway.
*Orange haired chef
*Purple haired girl
Appears to be very close to Dolce. She may be a doll. Note her lack of pupils.
*Gaius' dad
I'M JOKING. He could be, though. He has the ears, the fur, the gloves, the crossbelt, the turtleneck, the color combo...

Other Information
*Other seiyuu are confirmed to be Ayana Taketatsu, Hitomi Nabatame, and Kosuke Toriumi.
*The game has no exact storyline connection to the previous titles. This does not mean that you won't see cameos or dragons, although it's not been said if there will be cameos or not. The backstory is just not needed to understand the story of the game, so newcomers will not be confused.
*Releases in July at 5229 yen, which is about 48 euros and 65 USD. (Subject to change.)
*There will be a manga that focuses on the storyline. The focus will be on Lest and Margaret. (Will appear in Dengeki on Feb. 27th.)
*Pre-orders come with headphones and a drama CD. Hashimoto has stated it's something you'll want to listen to secretly, but it's not because they're inappropriate. It's because they're for sleeping, so expect songs.
New Features
*The love element is said to be improved, including embarrassing situations for Lest and Frey. Character AI has also been upgraded for your spouse. They won't just sit around the house anymore and will go to different places. Hopefully, this will apply to children.
*A new romance feature named Dokidoki Zoom allows you to zoom in on the scene between you and the person you are with, with high-polygon 3D models.
*There is no longer grid-based farming, so you can organize your farm however you like.
*Rather than having a friendship and jumping right to marriage, you can maintain a lovers state with someone and still marry someone else.
*You can have more than one lover. (hahaohgod pimp mode is intensified)
*There will be an RFF-style animated cutscenes for dates, festivals, and introductions.
*You can build buildings in order to attract more people and tourists to the town. The protagonist earns a rating depending on how many people show up, the starting title being 'Beginner Prince'.
*The females will now wear pajamas. The males are currently unknown.
*The Prince System is used to build up your town and attract tourists as you do. Prince Points are used to build up the town, as well as hold festivals.
*If you mange to build up a nice town, you earn the title 'Crown of Crown', which symbolizes you being the ultimate prince.
*Getting into too many romantic relationships before marriage will cause problems.
*Divorce ISN'T an option. If any site says so from this point on, please correct them. You can, however, break up with your lover. You « Duck Quacker ».
*There will NOT be voice commands. This was a mistranslation.
