In a vibrant and colorful world, players will tend their crops, befriend the townsfolk, overcome threats, discover the origins of the world, and the truth behind the calamity along the way. The story begins when the player wakes up in the middle of "Quietus", a calamity that comes with each change of season and threatens all life.

FEATURES

QUIETUS: A season of death that comes at the turn of each season. Crops wither and the dust of death prevents people from even walking outside. It is said that the duration of Quietus is getting longer each year.

WORLD: Players will be able to explore the various cities and dungeons of the world, "Nemea Town", where cherry blossoms bloom all year round, "Seaside Town Shatolla", with a lively bar scene, "Lethe Village", with its beautiful colors of the four seasons, and the snow-covered "Holy Capital Argene". In order for, players to reach the "Seaslight", the four giant crystals that govern the seasons, they must cross a beautiful yet rugged path.

DAILY LIFE: Vegetables, grains, and fruits can be grown on fields and shipped for money or used as crafting materials. They can also be used for cooking, where recipes can have the effect of recovering HP or temporarily increasing stats, which will be useful while on adventures. At home, players take care of their animals: the round bird "Cluffowl", the dignified goat "Woolum", and their pet "Totokaku", which may lead to nice rewards.

ALLIES: Players will encounter new friends, such as "Shrika", a missionary in search of a new faith, "Heine", a flirtatious and handsome mechanic, "Asyl", a descendant of the Wind Readers, and "Aria", a mysterious girl who says she has come from the future. By facing their problems and their different ways of life, you will gain a better understanding of your allies.

COMBAT: During battle, switch instantly between a wide variety of jobs, like the "Fighter", who unleashes quick sword techniques, the "Shadow Walker", who deals lethal blows with twin swords, or the "Mage", who specializes in magic attacks, to be victorious. Take on strong enemies by targeting their weak points and then eliminate them with a powerful Double Break attack.

I loved it
I get super hooked on Farming Sims. I always though Harvest Moon games were great and then I played Rune Factory and combat was included and that made it better. This game has both combat and farming. I did find the dialogue extremely long and unskippable, hence the 9. I'd do something else while cutting through dialogue and still know what they were talking about. I put like 70 hours in and still didn't collect everything possible, mainly didn't fish much as it was pretty time consuming. But I did complete the main story and maxed bonding with everyone. Visuals were phenomenal, and while I personally prefer more active combat controls then this (this was more like Xenoblade where everyone auto attacks) something about the game gripped me

Love It!!
I absolutely love this game. Anyone in the family can play it and it's a nice pace for a change. I like a game that I don't beat within a day.

Not for me.
A bit boring to be honest. I wanted to like it but couldn't. Very possible its me and not the game itself, could just not be my cup of tea

Really, really bad.
I can't say much for the gameplay because I couldn't even get that far. All character models look female. Costume is identical across all genders/models and clearly leans female. Not a huge deal as many games have a female protagonist, but why even bother pretending like you have a character creation/selection menu? The game is so blurry it looks unfocused. Think Twilight Princess on Wii U blurry, maybe worse. The Switch isn't exactly a graphical powerhouse, but this is just embarrassing, especially from Square Enix. Really heartbreaking as I'm a huge fan of both FF and farm sim games.

Love the Farming, Unsure About the Combat
This world is pretty to look at (especially on the Nintendo Switch) but I don't get why farming sims needed monster fighting in them to be a good game. It is still fun, but the in game time goes by a lot faster when you are traveling outside your little farm and, if you lose all your HP while out, the day automatically ends. You can't rely on your NPC teammates to revive you. Aside from a few gripes, I also like the character stories that are presented each time you meet a new party member.

just not it
The game is very pretty, I thought maybe a little of a girly Stardew valley type of game but it just gets weird. Also I understand they wanted to give you a good tutorial but Dang is it ever slow and too simple.

Its "OK"
The most frustrating part is Having to farm, having to go home every day instead of being able to stay at an inn, which limits actual game play, all of the long drawn out cut scenes. Just the overall lack of time and quickly losing time to get things done without having to stop and travel home to start a new day to quickly lose time again is Very Frustrating. Farm farm farm, build build build. Time passes Way too fast before you get to where you need to go and the Dr literally robs you if you pass out before you get home. The price costs more every time and gets expensive. To me it's just ok but it's not worth buying. They could have done better..
