I truly love Guardians of Azuma. Rune Factory games and especially Azuma speak to something deep in my soul. They're just so earnest and heartwarming, silly but still deep. Even if I don't do more romance routes any time soon, Azuma will stay with me for a very long time.

But now I've finally finished the whole story I'm struck by the feeling that there could have been so much more.

More enemies, more dialogue, more story, more dungeons, more secrets, more characters, more lore, more everything.

I don't want to sound greedy because I think the game we got was great, and I understand it's a spin off of an already niche title made by a relatively small studio, but the possibilities haunt me.

I really hope there's a sequel that uses the first game as a base to build something even grander than the first, because there's clearly potential for something truly spectacular.

I finally finished the main story of Fantasy Life i 🥳

it's a a good game but I don't think I'm in the minority when I say it's not as good as the first one, which is a shame. like, there's nothing really WRONG with i, it's just that OG had a lot more to it. overall while the writing could be rambly and dense the characters, story and world had a depth and heart to them that's missing from i. like I didn't skip a single Life tutorial in my first playthrough of OG because I found the little side story genuinely compelling, but that was absent from i. I wish instead of building a ton of dungeons the devs had put more resources into giving the game the same feel as OG.

but! I still had a great time and I can see myself spending many more hours in Fantasy Life i~

my problem with games like DMC2 is that my go-to strategy whenever possible is to make myself a damage sponge. high health high defence war of attrition ass gamer. doesn't matter if they hit me doesn't matter if I do 0.005% damage the battle can take 4 hours idc I Will Outlast The Heat Death Of The Universe Before You Get Me To Half HP. so when a game doesn't let me do that I'm like. uh oh!
