Topic: Adventure Bar Story

While there are some similarities, I wouldn't say these two games are very much like each other. In Recettear you of course know that you haggle with your customers over the price of items you are selling. That doesn't happen at all in Adventure Bar Story. There is no interaction with the customers. You create a menu of up to 10 items per day. It shows you the quantity of items you are selling and how many were purchased. But there is animation or interaction with customers.

The combat is different too. Recettear has an ARPG system with randomly generated dungeons. In Adventure Bar Story the dungeons are the same every time and the combat is turn based. Exp is only gained by eating food that you cook, however you can learn skills through combat. The dungeons can be (and you will very likely) run several times. This is done to gather ingredients generally that can only be found in certain places.

As for Azaris I'm not quite as far as you. My Bar rank is 8 and im on fire island. Have you recently upgraded your bar anymore or is it a waiting game until the cooking contest? Generally sometimes I've noticed you've had to wait for one of those two things to happen.
