Rune Factory: Guardians Of Azuma: How To Romance Hina

One of the best aspects of any cozy farming game, even one with JRPG combat and adventuring elements, isn’t the gradual progression of building up a settlement or farmland as you rake in the cash, but the friends you make along the way. Right? No, just me? Well, I enjoy marrying virtual characters in-game, but I usually let my IRL wife pick which one I aim for, and it’s always someone with pink hair. In steps Hina, with her pink hair and bubbly attitude.

How to romance Hina

To successfully romance and marry Hina in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, you must raise her bond to level seven, which will unlock the “I love you!” romantic dialogue during conversation. The easiest way to increase her bond level to this point is via regular, daily conversations, the occasional gift, choosing the correct hangouts, and consider bringing her along in your party. The passive points toward her bond level for fighting alongside her, healing her, etc, really do add up.

Once it’s time to marry Hina, you must reach bond level 10. Upon doing so, Woolby will bring up the topic of marriage, noting your budding relationship. He’ll provide you with a sapling for either a Red or White Plum Tree, along with the recipe for Divine Spirits. Plant the tree behind a village shrine—any of the game’s towns will suffice—and wait for it to sprout. Once it’s done, combine its branch with Rice and Wisteria to craft the Divine Spirits.

With the Divine Spirits and the heart of Hina, invite her to the Fateweaver Shrine. From here, the marriage ceremony commences. Upon marrying Hina, the game does erase all intimacy levels with other characters, so no poly relationships here! (Editor’s note: No bueno.)

As a monster girl, Hina tends to lean heavily toward themed items, like Kitsune and Fox-inspired food dishes, when it comes to the gifts she enjoys most. If you want to get on her bad side, offering her any type of mushroom and most of the game’s vegetables, but why would you want that?
