Mashima's art style has always been appealing to me if a bit samey between his series like Rave Master, Fairy Tail, and Eden Zero. (Plus Monster Soul and Monster Hunter Orage) A lot of the characters look like one another. But with how many characters he makes per series that's understandable. It's nice to see his style in a monster farming game. (A literal monster rancher if you will ) Thanks for your review! It probably won't be a day one purchase, but I think there is enough there for an interesting time!
I've never found this one appealing and this video just reinforced that feeling xD. It's like everything I don't want in a farming sim put into one. The farming just seems unnecessary, like you could get the monsters a different way that would be more engaging. I think Fairy Tail fans will enjoy it for the story, though.
I actually don’t mind the art style. The vibrancy is a plus for me but that’s just my opinion. I’m just not totally sure on gameplay yet. Definitely want to look into this more
I only know about this game because Mashima did the art for it. I’m a big fairy tail fan. I wasn’t too sold on the actual game, I only actually only want the art book.
Farmagia comes out in 9 hours for me so let's see whats it going to be! Tbh since it's from the Fairy Tail mangaka it was clear that VN would be a part of it as you would also buy it for his ideas/storyline instead of just character design. I think I'll wait for more reviews to trickle in but yours did make it seem appealing to me.
I'm getting Monster Rancher vibes... at least early MR vides. A lot of what I remember with MR was that there wasn't much to the games other than training and tournaments... though I do remember in MR4 there was dungeon crawling of sorts and little bits of story. I would not be surprised if they took some ideas from that series for Farmagia. Although there was no relationships with npcs in MR, other than bonding with your monsters and both were done by two different developers.
never know someone actually playing Monster Rancher, Great game btw especially MR2, its very underrated. Spending a hundred of hours into those game as a child.
@@abui6914 I've only played MR2 and MR4, spent a lot of time in 4 as my brother owned 2. Preferred the fusion system of 2 but some aspects of game play in 4.
I think I’m going to like this one! I also really enjoyed Elrentaros Wanderings. Btw you should check out Lynked: Banner of the Spark. It fits in with other games you enjoy that have both cozy and combat elements :) I’m having a great time with it so far
I just don’t vibe with the artstyle :( I feel like marvelous has been dropping the ball with artstyle since the switch era of games started. I miss the 3ds era 😭
3:52 so I wasn’t the only one getting Dynasty Warriors vibes! but this time you’re the mobs, haha. it’s weird seeing obviously Hiro Mashima designs in a game (the similarity between his protagonists’ designs sure is something). doubtful this game is for me since visual novels and Dynasty Warriors-likes aren’t my fave, therefore monster farming seems tedious to progress in, but it’s an interesting mix! thanks for sharing!
Natsu and Lucy, meet Nathan and Lisa
Also Haru and Elie.
The color style oh my god, it's so vibrant. What's up with Marvelous and their vibrant color style lately
I prefer calling it saturation puke

I’m picking up my preorder tomorrow. I hope I enjoy it

Great review! I love that you honestly mentioned things that you like & did not like :)
Good review! I'm interested in watching your livesteam to see how I feel about it.
I think I'd rather have treats then a mini game. Redoing a mini game every time sounds way more tedious
Why does the name sound like a medical condition? "I'm sorry, but your son has.... left ventricular farmagia."
This looks like it plays like a mobile game. But some of the monster stuff looks fun.
Oh...this game wasnt what I expected, but I'm glad I know now. Thanks for this review, Josh!
I forgot this was coming out! Ordered it while watching the video.
I think I’m going to like this one! I also really enjoyed Elrentaros Wanderings. Btw you should check out Lynked: Banner of the Spark. It fits in with other games you enjoy that have both cozy and combat elements :) I’m having a great time with it so far
No town? Passing!
The game is Waaaay too saturated holy crap D:
I just don’t vibe with the artstyle :( I feel like marvelous has been dropping the ball with artstyle since the switch era of games started. I miss the 3ds era 😭
the most informative review i've seen thankyou
Looks cute but I think it seems like the mechanics are too shallow for me to enjoy for time needed to put into it
Rune factory 4 special, with all its flaws, remains to me the best game they've ever published
I'd pick Harvestella over this game any time. The flashy colors and chaotic patterns just give me a headache, and the combat isn't my cup of tea.
3:52 so I wasn’t the only one getting Dynasty Warriors vibes! but this time you’re the mobs, haha.

i was hoping there some romance i think i will pass this game and wait for new RF
will this game be released for xbox series?
I got ps5 version because i was worried about performance. Also im not big fan of that combat ;-;
This game is not me i better play rf4 or winds of anthos rather than this
No marriage?
This game is a nope from me. The Fairy Tail artstyle is honestly not for me either.
no mobile ;0;??
this looks like NNK 2 not gonna lie.. nino kuni 2 has the same pet system like this game XD
Please don't compare an amazing game like Nino Kuni 2 to this.
