PREVIEW: Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

Is interesting, when the trailer for this first ran during the Nintendo presentation, it looked like the character creation wasn't gender-locking stuff like hairstyles & such. I'd infinitely prefer a system like this, where you pick how characters talk to you from a list, as opposed to the more-generic "type A/B & call it a day" stuff that some games are lazily going with these days. I assume if they have such an open-ended system already, the romances are not gender-locked either? Until a hard-confirm comes in, they still look like they're just roommates....

I'm interested in how well this one is gonna wind up performing, because this looks like this may actually be their first DirectX 12 title (unfortunate if so), and Atelier Yumia did not benefit at all from that swap - I'm assuming this is an entirely new engine they're using.

If both boxes are checked, I'll likely give this one a look at some point down the line after Azuma. Odd they have two so close to each other, but I also realise some players just want to farm & don't fancy the combat aspects of Rune Factory.
