Festivals in Guardians of Azuma

Woolby always will advise you to invite some one to go celebrate any festival with you.  The advice first will be given at 6.00 a.m. three days prior to the Festival.  It may be repeated on subsequent mornings but it certainly will be mentioned on the actual morning of the Festival that if you have not yet invited some one, you need to do it now.
Some of these Festivals give you choices that impact the individual who will celebrate with you:
For example, for the Fireworks Festival, you must go to Matsuri at the Summer Shrine before 5.00 p.m. to help her by designing a special Firework.  Do not choose what would appeal to you most but rather that might appeal best to your companion for the Event.  There are hints in the indivifual's Profile or perhaps a special gem or other valuable item you are given on your birthday by that person.

Kai is very easy to suss out.  He loves Purple and the bigger the bang, the better.

If you get it wrong, there are no consequences in terms of Friendship really, but if the response to your special design is less than enthusiastic, you might feel that you have failed.  I take these things far too much to heart.  I was very upset when Murasame was indifferent to the same deluxe firework that wowed Kai, chosen because purple is MY favourite colour, so it kind of served me right.

Mauro gives Amber as a special gift, so the choice of a dazzling deluxe yellow firework gave him a thrill.

I felt like an abysmal failure with Kurama when I made him an elegant red firework and he mainly complained that the noise gave him a migraine.  I do believe I failed to please Ikaruga as well who declared the firework definitely was the work of an amateur.

The Lantern Festival and Snow Festival really simply give you more insight into the character of your companion.   

The other Festival that gives you choices and in some cases, possible tangible effects is the First Pilgrimage.

I did not realise this at first.  I always chose the wish to have a closer bond with my companion or give him or her protection or safety.  I thought that showed my love most effectively but it appears that this is not the best option.

With Kai, there are no wrong choices.  I thought that the wish for 'really tasty food to eat' would be met with a reproof, but in fact he embraced it with enthusiasm:

Starting a New Game, Post 1, Restoring the Spring Village

Comprehensive Guide by Freyashawk: This is the first in a series of posts that will constitute a detailed Walkthrough. Restoring the Spring Village: (Above, note the little bubble the Monster holds or has with him.  This denotes a villager who has been transformed into a Momster.  There will be a number of these in the four seasonal villages.  Some are Chemists and others Carpenters.  When defeated, they will come to one of the Villages as humans again. I started a new game to minimise errors and maximise options as well as being able to write a guide.  What I have decided is that 'make haste to repent at leisure' does apply to some extent.  Your abilities do increase with use.  I now believe even physical acts such as jumping may increase with better stats.  I will try to test this when I return to more difficult dungeons. I 'beat the game' fairly early but had much frustration with Blight and puzzles.  I doubt there is any 'fix' where the p...

How the Fateweaver Shrine Fates work in Guardians of Azuma

I read descriptions about this.  I read opinions of players who had different reasons for wanting or not wanting to do it. I am the sort of player who has back up files.  I saved a file at the point of planting the Plum Sapling where every eligible candidate was at Level 10, had gone through all Bonding Events and would accept my proposal if I made one. I went forward from there and married Kai, and had two children with him.  At this point, the game was given an update with new rewards and ability to increase Bond Levels.  In the file where I was married to Kai, I raised every character with a Profile to Level 12 to obtain a Life-sized Cut Out Recipe. All Villages were at Level 10 and I completed all the Pure Azuma Quests. I was promoted to god after returning the Heart Shards to Mihoshi Habaki. What I had not done was go through the Trials. I decided to try the Orb at the Fateweaver Shrine.  I knew where it was as I had walked into it by accident and backed of...
