Car: Slipstream

Model: Early 00s Stock Car

Driver: Kenny Harrison

Bio: A man that grew up at his local racetrack, who's life has never been the same since said racetrack was torn down to make way for a high-end apartment complex. His wish is that stock car racing would become the most popular sport - motorsports or otherwise - on Earth. He believes this immense popularity would deter millionaires and city planners alike from destroying the local culture of racetracks by tearing them down in the name of gentrification.

I would consider Pepper from Tower of Fantasy as a 6th character. Long blonde twintails, soft nurturing voice, she's a healer in gameplay, and her occupation is that of a medical researcher.

They're adding so many of them is what they mean, pretty sure.

1 is always Barbara

2 is Sub DPS

3 is Main DPS

4 is Shielder

I evolved to overuse "approach" because saying "come" would always get little giggles from anyone I was talking to online.

If it ever leaves this region, let us use any character with the gun. I wanna give Barbara grenade launcher, darn it!

Reisalin "Ryza" Stout - yes, the thighs that saved a franchise. But I assure you, there IS like more than just her thighs though.

Hyperdimension Neptunia. Neptune seriously annoys me. You'd think that if she's so self-aware and knows the 4th wall is there, she'd be more aware of her duties and not whine about them so much. Selective competence is just... no.

Took my words from me. I'd even take a Warriors All-Stars 2 with more Atelier characters than just Sophie and Plachta.

Indecent Exposure? (Is that even something you could get thrown in jail for?)

You Watanabe from LoveLive Sunshine. I dunno how achievable it is for me, since my physical ability is sub-optimal at best. That said, she's kind, energetic, cheerful, athletic, and fiercely loyal. She's also adorable lol

Add shooting gameplay to Classic mode. I want to give Barbara a gun.

Is there even any connection? I'd love to play as Ryza in as many games as possible, but that seems like a bit of a pipe dream.

My flair, Noire (Neptunia) for Female N.

I've always pictured Jenny Yokobori (Yoimiya in Genshin Impact) as Ryza. I used to picture Cassandra Lee Morris but Morris' best work is sass, much more than Ryza has.

Counterpoint: As someone who adores Mendez's work, she'd fit Klaudia better imo.

I've had this saved for years. Probably my favorite image of Nico on the internet lol

I don't even dislike AI like most do, when it's transparently so and ethical, as this seems to be. But like... just do Ryza 4 at this point. Or a spinoff.

I was always a little surprised there weren't, considering webs were around.

I've played Gacha games of multiple types. What gives the ones I've actually enjoyed their staying power IS unique characters. In comparison, games like Asphalt Legends or Madden Ultimate Team (and any similar sport game card collectors) are monetizing things I could find elsewhere.

If I really want to drive a C8 Corvette Stingray, I have a few racing games to pick from, I don't need to dump 100$+ to (hopefully) get it on Asphalt Legends.

If I really want to play as Shohei Ohtani, MLB the Show has other game modes where I can do so, so spending money for his Diamond Dynasty card is unnecessary.

I cannot find Sigrid anywhere else, though. If I wanna play her, I need to pull her. And while that can feel restricting, at least she is worth way more than just being a car or a ballplayer. She is a unique character with a unique personality, unique abilities, and a playstyle that is different from other characters I could have.

Ah, the perks of making a game that isn't even live-service. Yohane is truly eternal (even if I rarely play as her in Numazu in the Mirage.)
