![]() ![]() The gameplay of The Princess Guide is a mix of action RPG and strategy. I know the idea is to play through multiple stories to get more out of each character, but you do still have to play the game over again. If you plow through this game, you can easily finish the main story inside of 15 hours. The ending I got seemed a little premature, and the story also ended earlier than I thought it would. The ending does change depending on your “Faith” level with your chosen princess, but other than that, the only reason to play this game again is to see the other princesses’ endings. I also found that bosses weren’t terribly difficult, so that may have contributed to me feeling like the events in this game weren’t significant. Normally, this would be the time to get serious, but I didn’t feel much urgency with the way the story was told until the final chapter. Liliartie’s story has her fighting an ancient beast awoken by an evil group that reveres this beast as a kind of god. It may be due to the game’s laid-back tone, but it was hard to get invested in the overall story. The other characters are all right but didn’t grow on me like Liliartie did. (As you can probably tell, the game is Japanese dub only.) It’s silly and cheesy, but I found that was part of her charm. When she picks up items on the field, her line of “ Yatta, oishisou!” (Yay, it looks delicious!) got me in the mood to play more. Liliartie’s boundless energy and general positivity was infectious to me. I ended up choosing Liliartie, mainly because during my playthrough of the game, I was in a bit of a depressed mood. ![]() The four princesses are the spunky and cheerful glutton Liliartie, the prodigal and bossy witch Veronica, the humble and serious Monomaria, and the gentle dragon princess Alpana. ![]() Each princess has their own unique situation they want your help with, and after you’ve familiarized yourself with all of them, you can choose one for the rest of the game. After choosing one of them, you set off for their kingdom.Įach princess has their own story, and you can choose which one will be your protégé at the start of the game. A recruitment poster in town points you to four kingdoms that are in need of tutors for their respective princesses. At the request of your superior officers, you retire and teach someone else the ways of life and combat. Your combat prowess is known the world over, and you have written books on the art of war. The Princess Guide stars you as a veteran soldier who has years of combat experience under your belt. So when the opportunity to check out this game came up, I decided to give it a shot. Raising a future ruler of a nation sounded like a cool idea. This is what drew me to The Princess Guide. You know what I wish we had more of here in the West? Raising games, where you level up a character’s traits, influence their personality, and make decisions that affect the way they behave. ![]()
