Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma

龙，可是帝王之征啊

能让电子阳痿多年的我沉浸式耍了70+ hrs。好久没有这么投入过了，算是提前体会了一把老来举起霸王枪。

明白老玩家的执念，但我个人是希望经营部分能简化成目前这样的，不过还是希望战斗能有些深度的提高。这个画面我是支持变革的，不能老走任天堂掌机老路Q版迷你风格。人设也应该趋近成熟，老作品一帮画风都是孩子还去娶妻生子太可怕了。

The start of this game is some of the most spoonfed and rushed drivel I've had to tolerate in a paid for video game. It's no fun when a hero is just handed everything they need with little/no struggle and everyone just immediately worships them. We even save our starting village within 30 minutes of starting the game there just by talking to people. Remembering previous Rune Factory games, I was really upset for the first hour. The major NPC's didn't even wander around and just stood in one place for in-game days. But then...it does start to become a Rune Factory game again...kind of. After I got far enough into the main story, people started acting and talking like they were characters in a Rune Factory game again, following schedules and doing stuff around town. And I had to start actually working and doing things to progress the story. It got better, but it still feels like they're trying to rush their own story. One of the most egregious examples is that I can increase bond levels with a character just by doing "activities" with them, short, cramped cutscenes which barely show or do anything yet build up bond levels incredibly quickly (I'm already having some romantic scenes in the second week of the game and I haven't even given any gifts yet). Maybe if you felt like other Rune Factory games are too slow paced, then this would be a plus? As far as the gameplay goes, they really toned down the focus on farming in this game. We can mine, chop and work the fields endlessly without having to worry about stamina or RP, and we even start hiring villagers to do the farming and basic wood and stone gathering for us very early in the game. We're limited by how many farmable "fields" we can craft though, which keeps us from turning the world into turnips. It's clear this game wants to have a much heavier emphasis on exploring and combat than other Rune Factory titles. I don't particularly dislike it like other reviewers. It feels a lot like when the monster ranches are doing most of the farm work for us in other Rune Factory games. It has also streamlined forming a party of townsfolk, and they can even fill roles like healer, debuffer, buffer, attacker, defender, etc. It works pretty well actually, though doing any amount of level grinding with them trivializes the game on "balanced" difficulty. If you like taking your time to build up a solid team, then go for the hardest difficulty. Regarding the price, it does feel somewhat expensive at $60. It's obvious a lot of the increased budget went to graphics though, with fully animated 3D characters with speech, facial expressions and even fairly elaborate, 3D animated cutscenes for their "bond events" rather than 2D portraits like other Rune Factory games. The world looks decent too, with some interesting level design for the dungeons and wilds along with some cool scenes flying around with our dragon buddy. Combat is fairly smooth, though a little repetitive. It gets better once we unlock more variety like charged attacks, ultimate attacks and spirit abilities. There's also some quality of life improvements like being able to sort crafting recipes (For example, I can sort for recipes I have the ingredients for, recipes for items which do a particular thing like restore hp, etc.) I'm still playing through Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, so I haven't reached the end yet. I'm glad I tolerated the horrible beginning, because it is getting better. Enough so that I'll give the game a tentative "recommended when on sale" for now. If you feel you can push through the beginning anyways.

8/10 Muito bom, julguei facil porem essa é a ideia do jogo então n tenho reclamações. É bem chill, as opções romanticas são muito boas.

第一次玩这种类型的游戏，意外挺好玩的👍

前作で「面倒くさい作業」だと感じていた部分が かなり整理されて大変遊びやすくなっていると思いました。 難しいかもしれませんが、出来れば結婚後もうちょっと相手や子供との絆を 感じるようなイベントや話の流れがあればもっと良かったかも、と思います。
