However, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar quickly changed my mind.
This means remaking old DS titles for modern consoles fundamentally changes the way they used to be played.
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is an exciting new spin-off that delivers an impressive number of series firsts.
However, Grand Bazaar adds a new element to freshen up the old template.
You guessed it: the Grand Bazaar itself.
Adding the bazaar as part of the core gameplay loop introduces an interesting layer to a familiar cycle.
Uplifting Farm Life
Everything you know and love about Story of Seasons is still here, though.
There are even two brand new romanceable characters.
There are seasonal events and minigames, while the much-loved nature sprites make a return.
Zephyr Town lives up to its name in that the wind here plays a huge role.
There are windmills that it’s possible for you to use to process your goods.
This remake also introduces the glider, and you could jump on trampolines around town to get some air.
But its not all about adding new features.
Grand Bazaar is one of those games, and now we finally get to experience it at its best.
