Fishing in Guardians of Azuma


Post in progress:

​Fishing has many different variables in every Rune Factory game, but I found this one more  inconstant than others.  Here are the factors:

First, Seasons.  The four Villages are defined by the four seasons.

Weather:  Some fish, like Taimen and objects like the Boot* appear to require rain.


Freshwater or Saltwater:  This can be restricted to specific Seasonal Village locations simply because they have either a saltwater location or a freshwater one.


Quality of Fishing Rod


I am going to list the specific fish I caught at specific locations.  Doing this after completion of Pescapedia so will not include earlier results unless I find verification in my journals.


Eastern Tri-Shell Island:


Boot*

(Is weather even a factor in the Sky?  All I know is that every time I caught a about on Azuma, it was raining.  On the sky island, no weather displays.  It takes about 5 hours to fish out the area completely.


Squid

Abalone

Snapper

Throbby Snapper

Golden Salmon

Glitter Snapper

Red King Crab

Seerfish 

Cutlassfish

Needlefish

Pike

Yellowtail

Sand Flounder

Night:

I am fairly certain I caught Flounder here for the first time at one point but need to look through my journals.


Sage of Sweets Villa, aka Bamboo Island:


Flounder

Sardine

Girella

Cutlassfish

Snapper

Alfonsino

Sand Flounder

Needlefish

Sardine

Rare Can

A smaller area, it can be fished out in a couple of hours.  As you can see, I confirmed a Flounder catch here.

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...
