Marvelous has released a fresh video showcasing Mauro, one of the romanceable bachelors in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma. As a globe-trotting treasure hunter, Mauro is always on the move, chasing after lost relics. The new trailer highlights his personality, interactions, and even his heartfelt confession to the protagonist.
Mauro’s Adventurous Spirit Takes Center Stage
The trailer wastes no time introducing Mauro’s energetic nature. In the first part, he can be seen persistently pestering Hisui, a fortune teller, before quite literally bumping into the female protagonist. His playful, slightly mischievous personality is evident as he attempts to smooth-talk his way through the encounter.
Marvelous has yet to confirm Mauro’s English voice actor. However, the Japanese version of the trailer features the well-known Yuki Kaji, recognized for roles such as Adol Christin in Ys and Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan. His performance brings a mix of charm and adventure to the character, perfectly fitting Mauro’s treasure-hunting lifestyle.
Love and Confession in the World of Azuma
The second half of the trailer takes a more emotional turn, revealing Mauro’s romantic side. Players get a glimpse of his love confession scene, where he shares his feelings with the protagonist. While his adventurous nature defines much of his character, this moment hints at a more sincere and affectionate side.
The Rune Factory series has long been known for its blend of action RPG mechanics and farming life simulation, but its relationship-building mechanics are just as beloved. Mauro’s addition to the list of bachelors offers players yet another engaging character to connect with, potentially making him a fan-favorite.
A Look at the Romance Options in Guardians of Azuma
Marvelous had previously unveiled the full roster of romanceable characters in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma through two trailers released on Valentine’s Day 2025. These videos detailed the bachelors and bachelorettes available for players to pursue, setting the stage for the game’s romance mechanics.
- Bachelors and Bachelorettes: The game continues the Rune Factory tradition of giving players multiple romantic options.
- Protagonist Romance: Marvelous confirmed in a Famitsu interview that players will have the opportunity to romance the protagonist of the opposite gender.
The Rune Factory series has been experimenting with its romance elements, and Guardians of Azuma appears to be continuing that trend by offering more diverse relationship dynamics.
What’s Next for Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma?
With new character reveals and trailers steadily rolling out, anticipation for Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma is building. While Mauro’s spotlight has delighted fans, Marvelous is likely to share more details about the game’s world, mechanics, and remaining mysteries in the coming weeks.
English voice actor announcements are still pending, leaving some intrigue around how Mauro and other characters will sound in the localized version. Fans of the series will no doubt be keeping a close eye on upcoming updates.
