- Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma, the newest entry into the Rune Factory series, got a trailer during a recent Nintendo Direct! We got to see a lot of gameplay and characters so let's take a look at it all together!

wilder youtube is my number 1 source for rune factory content can i get an amen
amennnnnnnnn
Amen to that lmao
Finally, someone who covers these games.
Amen Praises the dragon
The Protagonist we don’t pick being present as an NPC is a feature I love in general, so I’m excited to see it here! I loved it in RF Tides of Destiny 🥰
@Roguebluefair it was fun how you could woe the other protagonist even though they were inside the one you picked first. Tides Of Destiny is my favorite Rune Factory game. It got me into the farming and monster rising part of the series.
I think I've seen people mention that you can marry the other protagonist, which is super cool
It really annoys me when you have a "choice" to pick a character, and the other character just... ceases to exist. Making it clear they're just intended to be a gender swap option. Having them be two separate distinct characters is something I much prefer.
And the best is you can marry her
not sure if you caught it, but it seems woolby is the white dragon we ride on. means our rival will have a black woolby!
Thank you for pointing that out!! That's so cute I can't wait to see them both
i though the color would depend on the gender we pick, but this makes more sense
I see new Rune Factory trailers I automatically think of your channel.
I'm super excited for this as well as RF6 whenever that comes out. The amount of joy I get from this series unmatched.
The other protag that you didn't pick being in the game is the best thing ever I hope we can marry them
Seems that you can marry them. One of the trailers shows the two protagonists together in wedding attire
It wouldn't be a rf game without amnesia 😂 I'm excited to see the other potential player be involved in the story. The Earth powers look so cool! I love when there's town customization in games, but I'm also super nervous based on the furniture placement in rf5. I miss the 2D art styles from earlier in the series still, but if they're gonna keep the 3D graphics, then this definitely looks like a step in the right direction :)
I agree, you can tell when effort is put into a game based on the quality of it. And there are a lot of improvements from Rune factory 5. I see less empty space and the animations look a lot better. And I also really like the watering and growing mechanic, it looks cool but also time efficient compared to the watering can. I hope RF6 will be like this too in quality.
also I LOVE that Hina is here!!!! my head canon is that Misasagi+Kumo are from Azuma and she's returned as a SEED Ranger to find out more about her homeland
I have some faith that the town building will be good since Marvelous is apparently producing this in house, and the Story of Seasons devs had town building feeling good all the way back on the 3DS with A New Beginning. Even if it was a bit clunky because it was on 3DS lol.
Please let the town building be good Please let the town building be good Please let the town building be good Please let the town building be good
At the very least it’s grid-based so I have more confidence in it now
I’m really looking forward to it, it looks beautiful
I want this to be my very first Rune Factory game! I love this!
Yes, please let me place my furniture correctly. It was a little thing but ...oh well. My Time at Sandrock is winding down as they are gearing up for their next game. Coral Island is still chugging along, not really finished but their progress has been good and they are producing what they promised us. Very happy, RF has always given us beautiful, creative characters. If it isn't broken, ...don't break it. Please...
I'm excited for a new Rune Factory game!
saw the trailer, freaked out, and then thought: i hope wilder makes a video on this
I GOT YOU!
Even if 5 had issues, an I still sort of enjoyed it, I'm so excited for this entry. ❤
Just hope they don't put resource spawns close to the farms again, I absolutely hated that the stumps, rocks, and clutter kept growing around the farms so messy so fast.
Wish they could have picked other resource spawn areas away from them because they had _plenty_ of empty space in Rigbarth to make a few large lumber/stone spawn plots around town.
That and dumb choice to lock lore/story behind dating characters, hopefully they don't do it again in this one because some of them I was totally uninterested in romantically and missed out on plot points.
Romancing was also kind of broken in 5, every love interest was a homewrecker flirting even after protag is married w kids. 😂
But to be fair to the team of 5, they did have a lot of issues in production.
A new video from Wilder? *Likes immediately*
Also I am super excited about this new game it's like two of my favourite types of games were mashed together! ❤
also love the fact that the other main character will be in the game even if you don't choose them makes me wonder if they will be a marriage candidate for whichever main character you choose! ❤ If so I will be super happy!❤
I'm so excited for it!! They really stepped up the quality with this entry and it shows 🥰 the town building mechanic makes me reminiscent of dark cloud, so im excited to play around with it. Also did you see the woolie you get with the earth dancer edition??
I love the concept of being able to create my town. Reminds me of HM: A New Beginning which I liked in that aspect. Definitely solves the incredibly empty open town problem that RF5 had.
I loved A New Beginning so much! I had such a blast playing it despite it's super slow start lol
Hair animation is nice and smooth it’s easy make go well so that’s impressive.
My only experience with the Rune Factory series was Tides of Destiny on the PS3, i remember it having a really fun battle system
Guardians of Azume seems to be the first game to have a fully fleshed out hack n slash combat since that game, so i'm really interested in checking that one out once it releases
It looks like& make me think of Tides of Destiny also looks like it plays about the same. Tides Of Destiny is my favorite Rune Factory game and got me into the farming part&collecting all the monsters so i can use them on my farms.
Something about those character designs dosn't convince me. But is looking good
I'm excited for this game but I'm also very cautious thanks to 5. It definitely looks better than 5 already but I still want to see and learn more
I love your content and I'm so excited for this game! I really love the character designs in this especially the main characters, I fall more in love with the male protagonist design each trailer! I think he looks so cool! And I believe we saw that the protagonists can get married!? Love that they are both in this story! Hina was one of my favorite characters in RF5 I took her everywhere with me and I love she is all grown up! Really digging the English voice acting so far! And looks like we getting it at the same time as Japan I think? Why I personally enjoyed 5 this game just looks so prettier and more polished. I'm loving what story info we have gotten in these trailers. So excited for this game!
Holy smokes Wilder GoA is already amazing!
The option to marry the protagonist you didn’t choose?
No lagging?
Gorgeous graphics?
Better world design?
Marriage candidates that actually look like adults?
My golly this entry seems to have everything compared to RF5 and that’s just a few things I listed! So grabbing this next year! 🤩
How are you and Oreo? I hope you guys are well! ❤
@@katelynsewell3928 Oreo and I are doing well! We hope you're doing good!
@@WilderOfficial Oh good and I’m good too! Life is hectic but I’m happy! Thanks. 😊
Huge improvement yay🎉
I am super excited...also RF5 is not bad..it's one of my favorites...I can't wait..also ganna pick up the Fairy Tail 2 with Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma✨✨
The 3D definitely looks better than RF5, but tbh that’s a pretty low bar. I know they wouldn’t but I would love for them to go back to the RF4 style. 😭 I’m also sad that I feel like this won’t even have 2D portraits for the characters.
I love rune factory. I've been playing them since the first one came out. As much as I liked 5 I couldn't get into it as much as the previous ones. I have high hopes for this one though, it looks like they've put a lot of time, effort and love into it so far
Are you going to review or play Fields of Mistria?
I really want to I just don't own it yet
Hmm, town building seems to follow a kind of similar ethos that Harvest Moon: A New Beginning used (and the SoS and 3oT did on a smaller scale with farm and limited town customization after it). I certainly didn't hate those mechanics in those games but I never really ended up using them to their full potential. It's got a grid though, which the fact that that wasn't even an option and it was all just free placement is what always killed me in 5 (4, too, but at least there's no finnicky rotation there, just finnicky placement). Either, cautiously optimistic about this feature being neat
Seeing how visually good this game looks, I hope RF6 gives us justice because 5 was severely bare bones, I liked the open world-esque approach they took but it felt very wasteland-ish
Looks gorgeous! Here's hoping it's good.
@Wilder RF5 was likely meant to be a 3D learning experience
I prefer good 2D over bad 3D, but I prefer good 3D over good 2D with very few exceptions. So if they can keep bumping up their graphical quality, and smooth out the framerate (this is a tougher ask), then I'd much prefer them to keep releasing games in this style. That being said, I do wish we'd get the character portraits too. In my ideal world, initiating dialogue would zoom the camera on the character in the 3D space, but the portraits would still appear on the side of the textbox without darkening the whole screen.
I just hope they don't fall into the bigger = better mindset. The bigger the town/level/world is, the more it'll be a struggle for them to fill it with the resources they're working with. Zone design suffers for it. Not sure how it balances out on the performance side, big and sparse environments vs small and dense ones, but I'm really sensitive to the framerate issues that seem to be plaguing 3D farming sim games.
Personally quite excited for this game ❤ though as you said I’m also a bit concerned as well… however only time will tell.
Regardless I’ll definitely be picking it up so long as theirs a physical version available.
I'm still waiting for a Rune Factory 1 remake. The original is still my favorite uou
I would love a full remake of the first game, that would be really cool
My guess is that it'll be released either in March or April. Anyways I'm getting it!
Looks better than RF5, but still cautiously optimistic at best
It doesn't look quite like a traditional RF but that's fine because 6 is coming
I feel like it is going to be more focused on combat and JRPG aspects than farming. I hope it's at least more in depth than harvestella
Miss your videos! Hope you're doing well. I'm extremely excited, but nothing could make me dislike Rune Factory. I liked RF5, but I'm easy to please. But it's not better than RF4, which is my fave game in the series. Either way, I'm looking forward to Gaurdians of Azuma AND RF6 (whenever that gets more info idk).
i just hope the farming is more satisfying in this one, i barely played the last game because the farming was not fun
Harvest moon tree of tranquility?
I feel like RF had to crash in RF5, to understand a better path for the saga
It would be good if it reinforced its sagas in the same way that Monster Hunter does: Strengthen and improve the fun mechanics, and facilitate the mechanics that are tedious
Can't wait. With Dragon Age 4 being a dud. So happy a female lead character was added. I didn't buy 3 because except for playing Frontier as a guy, if given the option I will choose female. RF3 was great so crossing my fingers the company keeps putting out amazing games and stories. They keep giving us a surprise that is great without losing the gameplay we love.
"Listen, dont worry about it. Memories at this point are overated anyways, so dont even worry about it"
absolutely lost it at this.
Super looking forward to the game (luckily i missed 5 somehow) and already preordered it a month ago.
I liked RF5 better than RF4 but that's because I don't enjoy top down or side scrolling cameras vary much
I've been real on fence with this game...mostly because I'm a bit burnt out of japanese style locations and I don't really like the FemMC character as much as a guy e__e BUT this trailer put my heart at ease a bit. I REALLY like being able to help build a town and I like how the farm area looks, so that's what's reeling me back in at the moment. Also I've always like the 3D RFs more, just because I can actually tell where I'm at. I watched my ex play RF3 and hated it. I could never tell where he was, because everything blended together on the screen, so I'm in full support of 3D. The bachelors....ehhh, but I know I need to wait for character introductions, so I won't be upset about them yet XD Thanks for the report Wilder~!
I mean if you prefer the guy just pick him! imo his design is much cooler, and you can still date who you want.
Oh no, I'm still playing as the girl....I just don't like her design as much that's all. If I can change how she looks then AWESOME, if not I can deal. It was just a gripe I had e3e
Am i the only one that thinks this game's character design and some gameplay elements were done by the senran kagura team?
Game looks gorgeous, definitely can tell they switched to unreal engine!
I really want to try to be excited for this game but ever since marvelous and natsume divided the franchise hasn't been the same. I'm deeply disappointed by rf 4 lack of character writing and my brother said it's better to not play rf 5
Looks better than 5, but I don't like town or village building so I'm worried about that aspect.
I love that aspect. But if that's not for you, the 6th rune factory is still yet to be announced. This is a side rune factory, not 6
@@whiile1239 I prefer this aesthetic to the mainline RF western look. I'm not writing off the whole game based on a trailer. Just gonna wait until some trusted content creators give it a review
It looks like such a great improvement from Run Factory 5!
I’ll grab it if it has character creation, otherwise I’ll pass.
Yes it does can’t to get through probably for in may.
i mean it looks good and all but what happened to the art style? i feel like this could be any anime game (genshin, zzz, etc) lol
Nowdays... any XSEED and MARVELOUS new game release, we need give more precaution... hopefully the story might not be stale and gameplay not worst like SOS POOT and RF5..
Why havent they shown or explained what the dlc is.. no idea what the clothes look like or the seasons of love dlc. Its messed up that theyre selling it for $100 but you have no idea whats in it.
Apparently the main character you don't play as can be married by the one you play as. Someone said same sex marriage is back.
I'm not going for the collector's edition again but I'm still interested in playing if I see more later.
Finally, Rune Factory with a budget (kinda).
If this one adapt 3D, i wish RF6 adapts RF-RF4 top down mechanic
I'm not going to hold my breath after RF5, but I hope it's really good.
if the difficulty is like rune factory 5 i'd be dead.. 4 is the best in term of challenge
I don't like the 3d style, I thought the 3d/2d mix of previous games was part of the charm.
BUT as long as ice boy with white hair is datable I'm IN
It's hard to be excited as these are on the switch and run like garbage !!! Rune factory 5 was broken as hell on switch
I’m not buying until the controls are explained rune factory 5 was a waste of money since the controls were all over the place
Totally agree, I tried playing it so many times but it was such a pain to play. I couldn't never get into a groove, it felt so unintuitive. Tentatively excited about this entry
@@layniiicakes1643 right!!!! Not to mention the selection of male and female candidates felt uneven to me personally
I'm glad they are working on a new Rune Factory, but i really dislike the art style. I think this kind of graphics look very cheap and bland.
idk man... rune factory stop being good with Rune Factory 3.
I mean, rune factory 4 was okay, but that's the start of destruction. yea some features exist in RF4. but the quality going down especially with the story.
so, I have doubt with this new rune factory. will they stay on their own lore?
or make it kinda random like in RF4-5
Rune Factory 4 is amazing, dunno what you're talking about. Sure the event trigger stuff is an issue, but that was fixed some ni Special?
