One of them would do this. I’m very sure it’s Kai, but Kurama’s the only one who owns the house so

How do you even recover from a dragon saying your soul is worth 5G

me when the rune factory guardians of azuma characters say they’re happy to see me again and spend time with me when I log into the game

He's cool but also just a lil stupid and that has caught my attention.

assorted ideas for what that might make the farming/village sim half of azuma work better (as it stands its an enjoyable rpg and dating sim that forces you to do some wonky management to progress):

-change the store hours. rn they open at the exact same you do and close well after you likely went to sleep unless you were pushing the time limit in a dungeon. have the seasonal villages work like a clock: spring stores open and close the earliest, autumn open and close the latest, summer and winter in between. that will give you more motivation to village hop besides character visits

-make. cooking. take. time. if crafting now only costs money instead of rp, i think it should also take up time. giving someone a gift shouldnt take more time than making bread. have different villages let you cook different food, and cooking together can only be done with a villages resident. related, izakayas and teahouses should have a different list of foods you can make. and you should only be able to make quick meals/snacks at the cooking stations around the world

-have village funds and your funds be seperate; they let you sell things at stores for immediate money, so have that be your spending change (for gears, upgrades, cooking, etc) and your shipping box should go to village expenses (feeding villagers, what money you can spend on buildings/decorations). that way you have to weigh what goes into the shipping box and you cant access until tomorrow vs what you can have right at that moment

-tidy up the inventory management. as it stands i only ever filled my inventory up if i deliberately didnt stop at one of the billion places to unload. take a page from mainline RF, have it start small and get big, and make your home storage work the same (that was WAAAY too big, i put almost 90 hours into my first file and it was barely half full). make it matter, not just be busywork you have to do

-an obvious one ive seen a lot of complaints regarding: for the love of mokoshiro habaki, let us dictate what the villagers plant. i understand that they want you to oversee them, but if so much can be automated, make it more about the actual management rather than micromanaging the fields. maybe itd be too complex for some people, but id like to be able to pick who waters, who plants, who harvests too. right now my only thought it "those jerks better not have planted a crop that grows badly here or so help me-"

the tldr is make more things on the farming side actually matter; the whole time it felt like they were trying to sand away anything that might cause tension for the new audience who would just prefer a jrpg over a rune factory game. there was rarely any friction between me and the game in a bad way

i enjoyed myself a fair bit (im nearly at 100 hours already), so id hardly say its a bad game, but it felt VERY lopsided towards the action + social side of things, with the farming + management kind of tacked on

subaru gives him an allowance every week to help control his spending but he spends most of it on his daughter

making Hina romanceable was a diabolical move
