Umi, Kurama’s Son (2nd Option male)

​I always chose the first options and third options whenever I was married and asked what sort of child I would want.  The second male option I rejected because of his hairstyle.  I really did not wish to marry Kurama either because I wanted a spouse who treated me as an equal and did not berate me for my past decisions.

The close friend who sent me this game and asked me to write a guide had asked me to marry Kurama though.  I certainly owed at least that much to her but apart from that, if you do not explore every option in a game, you miss quite a lot.

Marrying an eligible character gives you more insight into that individual’s past, likes and dislikes, hopes and dreams, apart from little romantic dialogues and events that require marriage.  

Although the birth of your first child unlocks the Forest of Endings and the real ‘end’ of the Story where you can choose to assume the helm as leader of all the gods or simply remain an Earth Dancer, every child is different and has his or her own personality, likes and dislikes and little dialogues unique to that child.


I killed two birds with one stone by marrying Kurama and then choosing the second option for a male child.  And it has been very rewarding.

The little guy has incredible enthusiasm and courage.  He is more like my beloved Kai than either of the other children and is fearless in combat.  What surprised me was the fact that he loves reading as well as exploring.

He is quick to laugh and quick to express his love of you and his family.



As for Kurama, I resented him for his attitude of superiority. I still resent that, but he learns a great deal after marriage and really makes an effort to be a loving and thoughtful partner.

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

Image
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' wher...

Introduction to Guardians of Azuma Guide

Introduction: Please see my Walkthrough posts for a linear guide to this game. This is a complex and rewarding game.  I fell in love with the series when the first Rune Factory was released and my guides were being published by IGN.    How could one not love the idea of Harvest Moon that introduced a forge and combat?  Decades later, and a number of different handheld systems later, we have the greatest Rune Factory game since the incredible Rune Factory Frontier for the Wii.  In fact, it reminds me most of that game with similar beauty and rather profound emotional investment. Guardians of Azuma, although multi-layered and very complex, contains a wealth of tutorials and is much more forgiving in terms of goals. My first words of advice are to pay attention to every detail in the Quests because they are tutorials, granting you experience with different aspects of the game.  From the first day, you are introduced to important foundations of the game.  ...
