Actually that's not true either. The game picks the person which affinity you maxed last regardless of what you did for them. The item Arisen's Bond maxes affinity and if you use give this item to the person you want to be your love interest right before the last quest Deny Salvation then that person will be your love interest regardless of how many people you maxed affinity with during your playthrough. Although the person you give the bond to must not have maxed affinity yet beforehand.

So if you have a person in mind and this person is already maxed in affinity then that person might be replaced by others during the rest of the game. To ensure you get the person you want it is best to lower their affinity first by unsheathing your weapon while standing next to them until you hear the humming sound that indicates affinity was lowered and then give the bond to them to max their affinity again.

It is the only sure way to get the person you want to end up as your love interest.
