Random Conversations in Guardians of Azuma

Image
Even the conversation of shopkeepers and other Villagers can be full of surprises... This was how the day began... I have developed quite a relationship with the old man, Kazuhiko, who runs the Summer Soothing Waves Izakaya: He shares his aches and pains and all of his feelings with me now.   I put an old man in charge of the Chemist on the summer High Street:  Pardon me.  I learned a little chemistry in my day!’  Then:  First you take this, and add that.  Turned out well!’ Old man in charge of the General Store in Winter:  What a beautiful day.  Truly a blessing from the gods. The amount of detail in this game is incredible.  It really is a tour de force.  Adding some one to your party adds dialogue during combat.  During fishing, entirely different comments are experienced. Kai: 'Enough waiting.  Can't I just grab 'em with my bare hands?   Murasame: Victory belongs to me toda...

The Kagura Shrine in Japan and Kagura Dance

Image
​ Above, two dolls who are performing sacred dances that use Kagura Suzu bells.  From what I understand, Suzu bells feature as accessories that are held by many dolls but they can be either a single round bell or a pair of bells. The Kagura Suzu bells represent the original Sakaki branch utilised by the goddess who danced to bring the Sun god Amaterasu out of hiding.  When she heard the laughter and sound of the dance performance, she looked out from the cave to see what was happening.  In some versions of the myth, the goddess performing the dance showed her private parts and this inspired laughter.  Sexual gestures in folk performances often are intended to be entertaining and comedic rather than lascivious and the laughter brought Amaterasu out of hiding. The Sakaki branch still considered sacred became a set of bells in the actual Kagura dance that retold the tale.  Bells are used in many cultures to summon the gods or spiritual power.  The Kagura Suzu ...

Level 15 and Level 17 Surprise Rewards

Image
My advice and instinct is not to stop playing even after receiving all existing rewards.  Why can bonding levels continue to increase if there will not be more surprises in the future?  And if not, new conversations may be added.  Fubuki at Level 15 gives you the Recipe for the cutout of the Hound. At Level 16, he receives the ability to dress as The Hound! At Level 17, he will give you the Recipe for The Hound's Cap As I suspected, Clarice will give you the Recipe for the Veyron Cutout at Level 15. At Level 15, Hina gives a Recipe for Nine-Tails Cutout. At Level 15, Cuilang gives a Life-Sized Woolby Cutout Recipe. At Level 15, Kanata gives you a Rin Cutout Recipe. At Level 12 for each individual who has a Profile  in Guardians of Azuma, you receive the Recipe for a life-sized cutout of that individual.  At Level 13, you receive one of the dishes the individual can cook with you.  (The actual Recip...

Last updated on 28 December with details of Level 16 Reward of The Hound outfit for Fubuki Recipe for Woolby Cutout and Rin Cutout Updated on 20 December with Nine-Tails Cutout Updated on 19 December with Recipe for Veyron Cutout Updated on 18 December with The Hound Cutout Updated on 13 December with Porcoline Figurehead Reward information Updated on 30 November with Elemental Tengu details. N.B.  I had so much trouble with Subaru's Request for 2 Flounder because they are a very rare catch, but one of Watarase's Requests gives 5 Flounder as the Reward.  A lesson here perhaps... I will organise the Requests in proper order when I have all of them recorded. Isabel is the name of my second child and Misha the name of my first.  I wonder if the other children I did not choose have different requests because mine do. I now am curious about the device that allows you to experience a different life. Note on 14 October:  I intend to make a dedicated guide for al...
