Reactions to Interactions

Most of the time, it is possible to guess correctly as to a character's response to an interaction.  Once in awhile, however, they really can shock you!

Sakaki disliked a visit to the waterfall, I believe.  Take some one else!

Tsubame, who gossips constantly became incensed when I chose to discuss rumours.  Not MY cup of tea ever but I thought she would like it.

Murasame dislikes a visit to the Waterfall.  This strong intrepid warrior is undone by the memory of catching a chill when he trained beneath a waterfall once upon a time.

Many a character dislikrs 'Musing about mobsters'.  I  not certain what precisely this option entails in the context of Azuma but they dislike it strongly when you suggest it!
I need to make a list of those who protested against the musings.

I believe it included Yachiyo.  I chose it because, as a cat, she might have formed some useful opinions and have a unique understanding, but she became very cross with me.  

Pilika was displeased when I chose to 'make small talk'.  I should have guessed.  Why would she, raised by a bear, with daily conversations with spirits, and mistress of all the lore relating to the forest and Nature, care about 'small talk'?

Not surprisingly, given the way in which his brother destroyed the reputation of his family, Murasame will be upset if you talk about family with him.
Then there are interactions worth as much as a favourite gift:

Tsubame likes Entertainment and Shopping but one is loved and the other is liked.  I thought I took a screenshot when both options appeared on the same day but it appears that I did not do so.  I believe Shopping elicits the ‘Love’ icon response.  Neither appear in her Profile alas.  It is rare that a social interaction will be documented in the Profile.

I always am a little surprised that I take my relationship with Kai so seriously whether single, married to him or married to some one else.  I feel awful when he dislikes an interaction and yet I really need to test all of them.
A little surprised today that he enjoyed ‘Gossip about romance’ but not the least bit surprised when his points decreased a little with ‘Talk about Work’.  Kai really is one of those guys who resembles the ancient heroes.  He is not lazy but he really does not understand mundane jobs or how to manipulate money.  He would stand and fight to the death for you or his friends or his people but pay his tab?  Even though he respects and (dare I say it), almost adores Yachi, he cannot get his head round the concept of making her life a little easier by paying what he owes.

Watarase liked it when I went Shopping with him.

Cuilang liked ‘Tell a Joke’.  Somehow I thought he would not respond to humour well.

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...
