First, as I personally had hoped when I first saw this one, this game is very story focused and farming is additional icing on the cake. It takes a bit of a back burner but it is still necessary. There are things implemented that making the more tedious aspects of farming sims less so. Personally this makes it more enjoyable for me.
Secondly, there are character/party member quests that help flesh out important people but you don’t have to do the whole run around and talk to 20 people every single day to increase your bond. These quests aren’t super long and there is an incentive for completing them. Again personally I find this a pro, others may not.
A third thing I would like to mention is that this is one of the few games I have actually completed every single side quest and actually enjoyed their content instead of skipping through and moving on to kill 20 of these or harvest 10 of that etc.
Graphics wise, I wasn’t bothered here either though I have seen it listed as a con. No it’s not super amazing graphics, but none in this genre are so I don’t quite get this complaint. I enjoyed the art style and adored the different environments.
I do wish that there was a bit more to do after completion and/or some dlc but this is a first step into this genre for them. Usually when I finish a game I am kind of over it and ready for it to be done even if it was a decent game. This one I simultaneously wanted to rush through for the story but also didn’t want to get to the end and be done. I don’t get some of the hate on the story I have seen as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it just kept getting better and better to me.
Some of the other things I have seen hated on are implemented in big names of the genre. Some of these were the few negative things for me but like I said typical of the genre. I got fed up paying the dr if I died or passed out pushing the clock. And it was annoying to be close to reaching the story point/save point but having to warp home to not pass out. But these were minor nuisances and not a huge issues. They have it set up relatively well not be messed up too much by these mechanics.
Overall I found this to be a pretty awesome game and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I truly don’t understand some of the hate it’s received. That’s all I can think of right now and it’s already a long review so I’ll end here and edit if anything else comes to mind!
If you enjoy Rune Factory, this game is an absolute must! Harvest Moon fans or RPG fans looking for a change of pace should find something to enjoy here too! As a slow-playing completionist, I got about 60 hours out of enjoyment, so I’d expect most people to get at least 20-30 hours out of it at minimum. Worth every cent, I only wish I could play it for the first time again.
I personally love this game. I’m a grown adult woman who enjoys prgs, JRPGs and farm/life sim games as a way to relax before bed. But I do find some of them to be pretty boring, and this game hit that sweet spot for me. I looked forward every day to being able to come home and get back to expanding my farm and getting more areas explored.
I also managed my expectations going in. It’s not a AAA title, but I have loved Square Enix’s games for years. I know that the first game in a new series will have some ups and downs, as I do think some things could be done more efficiently and that the story could be expanded upon more. I personally would love to see this turn into a series and see where the sequels could take it. I think there is a beautiful story and very, very entertaining game for people who love farming/life sims but also like a little more of a challenge as far as combat as well. If you liked Rune Factory games, Atelier Ryza or Sophie, I think you would really enjoy this game. I think it’s beautiful. I know some reviews on YouTube complained of the visuals being “fuzzy” but I found them dream-like and very calming and cozy, especially since I play before bed.
I love this game and am in the midst of having an amazing playthrough. If anything absolutely awful comes up at the end and I change how I feel I will edit this review but as of now, this game is a very well deserved 5 stars. I have a hard time finding games that find that spot between too cozy/boring and too stressful/exciting. This is perfect, I love this and can’t wait to hopefully see more from this series.

É um novo roteiro de criação se baseando em trabalho de outras produtoras mas o resultado é agradável.
