Other than a few gripes, Story of Seasons: The Grand Bazaar is a beautiful and chill experience. Something to relax to when you want to take an idyllic break from the hustle and bustle of life in general or hectic, combat-heavy games. Grand Bazaar is a well-crafted and charming story with gorgeous and colorful landscapes, ripe with vegetation swaying in the wind and populated with endearing folks more than happy to help or welcome you to their quaint, breezy town of Zephyr.
My gripes were minor and not game-breaking enough to tear me away. The story, pacing, activities, and even the superb voice acting that gives life to all of your friends and villagers alike are all expertly done and draw you in with magnificent ease. While Guardians of Azuma does a lot to mainstream much of what has come before, the seeds planted throughout previous entries nonetheless bloom here in radiant splendor.
