Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

挺肝的。。。但是好上头。。。

this game kinda sucks. keeps playing it

Let's start with my favorites! I liked the main story. It was entertaining and I loved Azuma's gods! The characters in the game were also amazing. I loved a lot of the designs and I liked the aesthetics as well. The idea of the two protagonists (Subaru and Kaguya) having a past together is interesting. It reminds me of Genshin Impact at the beginning of the game you pick which sibling you want, and the twin you don't pick end of having their own story and adventure. It really gave both of them more character. Here are the downsides to getting this game, however: I wish there were more than 4 social like events. I was expecting closer to 10. Not to mention the non romance able characters just have like... NO BONDING QUESTS? Tsubame was my favorite non romance character and I hated how most of her screen time was being on Subaru's (a romance char) bonding quest. Idk compared to Rune 4, it felt a little... shallow? Don't get it twisted I loved the characters, but they could have used for socializing- not to mention 2 datable characters are locked behind a paywall which is stupid as hell bc it should have been included in the base game, but whatever. I also felt like the game's exploration was meh. We had 4 regional maps which you visit in like the beginning of the game, and the other 2/3 s of the game were dungeons which isnt too far off from rune factory 4 ig. I wanted a little more open world idk. I also beat the game in 2 in-game months which like... idk if felt like it really should've stretched out a year. But let me add more positives before you assume I hated playing it The poly dating was nice. You can date around with no reproductions which I love rather than the whole cheating/jealous partner thing. It is sad that when you get married, you lose all the other relationships, but ehhh compared to RF4, the multiple partners and allowance of same sex couples made up for it ig. Baby steps. Oh, and I loved fighting with the 6 sacred treasures of the god and the idea you can use 4/6 of then for farming is hilarious to me. Fym I'm using the god of autumn's fan to harvest my potatoes? Lmfao Also I like Wolby I cant deny it any longer I love that stupid little cretin he grew on me.
