Pretty good game. You are going to spend some time trying to figure out the crafting system if this is your first game to enter the series.

Crafting part is almost a new game by itself and it plays a huge role. Loads of gathering materials and random traits to go with those. Combine some, dismantle some, even fail some to get different kind of stuff to experiment on again.

When game finishes after 3rd year, you get an optional extension for 1 year with a new story, places to go, materials to gather and craft again.

Time management part is not that bad without hunting for achievements or else you have go through guides and stuff not to mess it up on first play-through (I managed on my 2nd, there is ng+ system where you carry your equipment, money, decoration over). Last 2 bosses of main story needs some working to do and last 2 of extension story needs huge amount of work till you can finally get them down.

Spent quite a bit of my play time experimenting, failing , improving items while crafting. Thanks for this good game; here i come Totori, wait for me. :)
