How do you Realize characters in Date Everything?
You can Realize characters by progressing your relationship with them and achieving the required Realization Recipe for them in Date Everything!. This process is a bit complex, so here’s a full breakdown of how to get it done.
- Get to know the character you want to Realize. Speak to them frequently and work through any quests they may have. Once you reach the end of their storyline, a dialogue option related to Realizing them will appear. Depending on the character, this might only take a day or two or perhaps even a full week. It also depends on what type of ending you want with them, as some endings are easier to reach quickly while others require much more time and effort.
- Learn the Realization Recipe you need. Every character has a specific set of SPECS stats required to awaken them. You need to know all Realization Recipes to ensure you know the precise stats you need to Realize each Dateable.
- Build your SPECS stats. If you don’t have the required SPECS stats to Realize your targeted character, you need to work on building them before you can start the Realization process. SPECS, which stands for Sass, Poise, Empathy, Charm, and Sass, is built by achieving Love, Friendship, and Hate endings with all characters, so you need to focus on getting to know them to build these stats.
- Return to the character you want to Realize. As soon as you have all of the required stats for your desired Realization Recipe, head back to the character and select the dialogue option to Realize them. They’ll check your stats to make sure you’re ready, then initiate the Realization process.
What does Realizing characters do in Date Everything?
Realizing a character brings them to life as an actual human. Initiating this process for all characters is crucial if you want to achieve a true ending in Date Everything! as it allows them to explore a life beyond the confines of your house.
What happens when you Realize a character in Date Everything?
All Realized characters leave the house and become human, which means you can no longer interact with them. Because of this, you should only Realize a character when you’re ready for them to leave. The item they previously were will stay, but they won’t be it anymore. The object they were will continuously shimmer gold to highlight every Dateable you have already Realized.
Should you Realize characters in Date Everything?
If you want to conclude the game and witness a series of special scenes, then yes, you should Realize characters. It’s crucial you only do so when you’re done interacting with them, as all Realized characters leave and can no longer be talked to once the process is complete.
If you want to Realize all Dateables and continue playing, you also need to make sure you Realize Skylar Specs last. Realizing her immediately ends the game, so only do so once you’re ready to see the official ending unfold. All other Dateables can be Realized in any order you like.
There are plenty of other tricky tasks to work through next. Consider searching for tough-to-find characters like Rongomaiwhenua, Hero-Hime, and Doug, or unlocking the attic door to access a new area.
