Experiencing the Snow Festival with Every one

​This is a strategy that can be employed with respect to every festival but only if you are unmarried!  If you are married, you have two choices: to attend with your spouse or attend it alone.


With respect to all of the festivals, although Woolby will announce the event theee days prior to it and suggest you bring some one special or that it is no fun attending it alone, in fact you can wait until the actual day of the festival before you invite any one. 

Incidentally, three days prior to it, eligible candidates if bonding levels are high enough, may invite you to attend the event.  You can decline the invitation without any permanent effect.  Some one whose invitation is rejected still will accept if you make an invitation closer to the event.

I am experiebcibg a new Fate in one file and will propose (again!) to Kai when the Plum Tree matures in a couple of days.  Meanwhile, the day of the Snow Festival has arrived.  I decided it might be fun to experience it with many of the characters I have not courted yet:

Here is my most efficient method of doing this with any festival:

Wake at 6 on the day of the festival and save immediately at the dragon statue.  Now find a character you wish to invite and make the invitation.  DO NOT SAVE AGAIN!

Go to the Open Pavilion in the Summer wilds and choose the option to:

Wait until nightfall


At 7. you will see a prompt indicating the feetival has begun.

Go now to the Winter Shrine, find your intended partner and choose the option to

‘Talk’.

When the event ends, reload the file without saving, then find the save file and load that instead of the Autosave file.


‘Rinse and repeat’ as they say…

You discover interesting details about an eligible candidate in this way. I discovered that both Clarice and Fubuki actually make a special snow hut for you.  Clarice considers herself a permanent resident of the Winter village and it shows in her care and dedication.

Traditional Japanese Festivals

​The creators of Guardians of Azuma expressed a wish to invest the game with as many of the traditions of Japan as possible. Japan of course has diverse spiritual as well as mundane cultures and each has had its own special influence through the centuries but the Japanese managed to create a very unique synthesis finally between some of its native religions and beliefs rather than continuing to perceive other belief systems as a hostile or corrupting threat.   I am not an expert in Shinto beliefs but I studied and taught comparative religion and legends and to me, Guardians of Azuma enshrines Shintoism far more than any other belief system.  Although Buddhism has played a large part in shaping the culture and aesthetics of religious art and rituals, the animism that is so much a part of  Shinto beliefs is very apparent the world of Guardians of Azuma.  Thus, the reverence shown to Ulalaka’s sacred cherry tree that is displayed at the very beginning of this game and t...

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' wher...
