Description
The “Earth Dancer” Limited Edition includes a soundtrack CD, an art book, a traditional Japanese folding fan, the “Seasons of Love” DLC bundle with additional Woolby DLC costumes, and a Woolby plush keychain, packaged with the game in a custom box.
The Celestial Collapse—a calamity caused by a colossal object crashing into the eastern lands known as Azuma. The devastating impact sent fragments of terrain to the skies above and the seas below. With the earth shattered, the power provided by the runes ceased to flow. The gods of nature vanished soon after. Mountains crumbled and fields withered, leaving the people with nothing…not even hope.
You awaken, startled by a dream of dueling dragons. You don’t remember how or why, but a voice resonates within you.
“Accept the power of an Earth Dancer. Use this power to save the land.”
The classic action-RPG and life-simulation gameplay beloved by Rune Factory fans across the globe is boldly reimagined in Guardians of Azuma. This all-new adventure takes place in the never-before-seen eastern country of Azuma where you will assume the Earth Dancer powers and fight against the corruption spreading throughout Azuma to bring hope back to this once-prosperous land. Choose from one of two protagonists whose destinies are intertwined by mysterious forces. Use sacred treasures to fight against the Blight’s many forms to restore the people, and even gods, to their natural glory. Take farming further, rebuilding entire villages and cultivating new allies and resources along the way. Explore seasonal-themed villages heavily inspired by traditional Japanese culture, each with brand-new festivals and revamped fan-favorites, as well as charming romance candidates.

Also I have to agree that the preorder mess at Target was insane with all the delays… BUT… THIS GAME IS AMAZING!! Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma is so much fun!! I would be playing for 5 hours straight and it only feels like 1 hour that’s how addicting it is haha. Loving all the character interactions so far and development of the villages! If you are new to the rune factory series, I would suggest you try this one first. It’s charming and lots to do, also a lot easier lol.
IT FINALLY CAME!!!!!!

Guys I know it took a while for them to deliver this but I give target a pass due to the uncertainty of the tariffs situation. My switch 2 kept me good company while waiting for this. Other than that it arrived nice in a box rather than a parcel and the collectors box was in pristine condition. Game is great. Its what you expect. Marriage candidates, farming, rpg hack slash fun.
Don't Buy From Target.

Pre-ordered this a couple months ago. Since then it has been delayed several times, and the most recent delay had nothing to do with the set delay by the distributors themselves which was 6/20. Instead when I check I see its mysteriously on 'backorder' and then I get an email with a new delivery date for early July. Meanwhile the Earth Dancer edition has already been released and other retailers have managed to ship out copies to other customers just fine, but not Target. Today I get another email saying they've canceled my order because of 'payment processing issues' and I was livid. I ended up simply placing another order through a different store and they've already shipped it. Like many others I could have already been playing this but instead this retailer wasted my time. You've lost my business for good Target.
When's gonna be my time?
