- Children overhaul — likely past the toddler stage.
- The riddle: "Two paths will be extended / Three will become four / The mermaid's fruit will go free" — community theories point to extended relationship paths, a fourth child slot and a Mermaid's Pendant change.
- PC-to-console gap will be shorter than the 1.6 wait.
