But also 9 months of movement under a jrpg skin was really worth the cost of like. the entire switch

the story mode was very baby's first anime (especially because I switched the audio language to Japanese because oof that English voice work is a dealbreaker)

bit I am fully satisfied having given it 40 minutes of my time every other day

the encouragement game is top notch

oh nice there's a new game+

guess I'll check back next year and confirm whether it held my interest for a second go around

OH NO ITS SO CUTE

the premise of New game + is that the bad guy is healed from all the evil stuff and wants to make amends by turning all his old fortresses into gyms

so he's going to hang out and help train the player while you all go around the world again

that's so cute

oh god lmao i sort of gave up sometime last (??) year and kept meaning to get back into it and never could... congrats on your journey

omg the new game plus... i'm glad

lmao I thought I was shrieking at shikki and didn't realize I didn't switch apps back to discord WELP shrieking happened here too

LOL

the story is rly cute in general ;-; it's like the bad guy bought into toxic gym culture too hard

and you have to save him from being a meathead

OH NO I LOVE THAT

RIGHT

lmao, well, this sounds like an adventure!!

progression is made by entirely too many squats =*)

omg this game has an ending? TIL lmao

it does and if you've played far enough to meet the characters you already know all the arcs

i just watch people stream it and laugh at their suffering, as one does

wait what people stream it

the hololive girls seem to love doing it haha

dghkdhk you can't even see them do the workout

THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT FUNNIER

I appreciate your fandom even though I do not comprehend it

it's the closest i'll get to idol culture :')

I wish my idols did streams

I mean I say that and then I don't watch when they do

a lot of the girls in the AKB offshoot groups stream and it's always just like giggling and reading donos

[ ̶h̶o̶l̶o̶l̶e̶w̶d̶ ] 【hololive Ring Fit Adventure N... yeah this is what my idols do

is that one with the blue hair trying to do karaoke while she works out

i'm assuming so, since i haven't watched that stream. because if that's the case LOL

it also occurs to m that the ones with moving heads are wearing vr gear for motion tracking

and that's insane

that stuff is sweaty on a good day

these girls werk
