If you stand up your date…

​I always feel I need to do this, but it is hard because it seems so unkind.

I now have logged 1400 hours in this file and have married more than once.  I split the file about a fortnight ago to marry Kai again in one fate and in the other, move forward with Clarice.

Here is what happened in the Fate where I courted Clarice:

As soon as I asked Clarice to meet me to go to the Fateweaver Shrine, I no longer had the option to invite any one except Clarice to the First Pilgrimage.  The date for the Fateweaver Visit was set for 2 Spring.

I experienced the Pilgrimage with her and decided to miss the Fateweaver Date.  I went instead to the Open Pavilion and sat by the fire until 7 p.m.


At that point, I found Clarice seated at Yachi’s.  She began by telling me I had to know what she was going to say.  I responded that I was sorry and she pushed me to promise I never would do it again.  To my surprise, she then invited me to have dinner with her.  After that, a new option to invite her to the Fateweaver Shrine appeared.  So this game is very forgiving!

​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...
