I thought i could post an update on my Ring Fit Saga again.
As of last sunday, i'm down exactly 13.5 kg since the start of the year.
And given the "pacing" of the last few weeks, i might be able to hit 20 kg down at the end of the year.
Planned target weight is ~ between 90 and 95 kg at a height of 181cm.
I know that's still not the "ideal" weight, but i'm built pretty wide to begin with, and will never be/look skinny, so i decided to end on a "feel good weight".
To be fair, in addition to playing RFA three times a week for ~1 hour (+/-), i went easy on sweets and eat a little less generally. But i'm not "hungering", if i wanna eat a burger or a nice pizza, i eat a burger or a nice pizza.
Though, after playing RFA for a while now, there's definitely some points that annoy me:
- Levels that are basically just "gimmicks". For example levels where you progess mostly by water/flying or those carts. I don't understand their value, since doing the walking "exercise" actually burns more stuff than anything else.
You know, doing a whole level progression by doing squats for example is ... simply mean.
- Similar to above, "walking" levels that have a gimmick slapped on. Namely "beat it in less than X steps". No. Fuck those.
- Enemy HP. I'm at the end of the second playthrough (let's call it NG+) and enemies, no matter what type, are nothing but HP sponges. I can understand that for mini-bosses, or the adds the level boss has, but man ... sometimes the battles feel like you're grinding yourself dead tired without doing much.
- Partially in connection to the above point, areas/worlds that are setup like a fucking Gauntlet. Keep it varied, okay?
There's a few other nitpicks i have, but these above ones are my main annoying points.
I hope there will be a sequel one day, and if they look into improving some things, it could be really one of the best games.

With that and Gaiden it'll probably be 2026 before I get around to 8 lol. Persona 3 is Game Pass, so I could play it, but tbh I'm not sure I'm up for such a long RPG that I, unfortunately, have already been spoiled on.
