The recently released Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma looked quite different in a good way from traditional Rune Factory games and the new aspects have fortunately been well-received by gamers. It turns out that the game was created for the purpose of experimenting with new things with the franchise, but they didn’t want to lump it all under a traditional Rune Factory game, so Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma was developed. The move has proved to be a success and the team says that they “hope to carry over well-received aspects of the game into Rune Factory’s next numbered title.”
“I knew we needed to create something new. However, if we suddenly tried to insert something drastically different into a future “Rune Factory 6,” that would be very risky. Fortunately, since the series already had spin-off titles like Tides of Destiny and Frontier, I figured I could follow that trend to try out something new.”
We hope to carry over well-received aspects of the game into Rune Factory’s next numbered title.”
