Kurama


Much to my surprise, he was very unhappy when I invited him to take a nap with me.  He talks endlessly about his sleepless nights rerolling or whatever else he does outside the confines of 'RL', so I thought a nap would do him good.  And this was his response.
I wonder what would happen if I kept asking him to take naps.  Do points actually decrease or do they just show their disappointment and displeasure?

I originally thought Kurama might be a god after my own heart.  He is erudite and he cares deeply about children, but his arrogance is difficult to to take.  My first real disillusionment came when, for all of his love for children, he would not climb down off his high horse to let them throw beans at him.  In contrast, Kai proved to be a good sport about it, even when they continued to shout: 'Oni out!  Good fortune in!'  That was thr first time I saw Kai without his masque, after a bean hit him in the eye!
Dating Kurama, the one event I truly loved was when he and I flew like the wind on horseback.

He and Kai are both the worst of enemies and the best of friends.  Kai calls him 'Birdbrain' and he describes Kai as an oaf, yet they spend many an hour together.  Kai considers it almozlst a sacred mission to bring Kurama out of his 'lair' into the sunlight.  For Kai, whose folk long ago were driven underground into the shadows, sunlight is one of the greatest of life's treasures.

Kotaro always talks about Kurama and yet next to Kai in combat, it is Kai who praises him and empowers him.
So after I went home to dinner and I decided I would let Kai rest  while I took Kurama with me instead.  Put him next to Kotaro... see how it goes.   Kai made some truly gourmet plate tonight for our dinner.  It had a little flower that was green and red, possibly wasabi with some other garnish.
Kurama barely can fight.   Only eats things like Sandwiches as well. Perhaps I will take away all of his weapons and gear briefly and see how that plays with Kotaro.

What I saw was Kurama's ability to dodge attacks.  That is his strength.

In combat:

GG...EZ.

Your defeat is imminent!

Chequemate!

This is what made me a liitle sour where he is concerned long ago:
Kurama:  If you find any items of exceptional rarity, I insist that you show them to me at once.

If ypu let Kurama die in battle:

What an undignified end!

And then revives just in time to tell you that he insists on being shown the exceptional items at once!

Mind you, I do like him when he tells me veey gently that every one has been waiting for me but that I can take my time...

Don't bother begging for mercy!  I won't hold back!

Yet I thought we did show mercy to vanquished foes again and again.

Just rubs me the wrong way.  When I invite him to dine with me at Yachi's, he tells me it was more entertaining than he expected.

Called damning some one with faint praise.


'You should head home soon.  Wouldn't want you losing your way in the dark.'

As though I were a child or utterly hopeless at navigating after 12 years in Azuma!!!

In combat:
You didn't even need my help! (Reproachfully)

Swift as the wind.  (Me or him?)

Heh.  I found your weakness

Don't think you've bested me.  I shan't succumb to this!

'Are you quite finished?  I grow tired of waiting!'

(When his energy was almost nil.)

When he dies now he no longer says: 'What an ignoble end'.  I guess he has become resigned to his lowly fate.
I qish he would kearn his lesson.

This last time, he kept bragging to the bitter end.  I just want him to behave...

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: 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 puzzles are concerned aside from playing through more than once but I will be interested to discover if more skill nodes help me reach high places more easily, for example.  Some Main Quests must be completed to unlock relationships with characters but others could be delayed to gain more skills. 1.  Follow the Prompts...

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...
