For those of you that like to stay in shape, are there any avenues you've found particularly helpful during your time here in Vaikuntha?

I was thinking of trying to get out and running a little more— are there any routes someone could recommend that has more scenery than monsters? I guess... that's a workout in itself too isn't it, heh.

It's just that there's only so many sit-ups you can do in an attic, you know?

Maybe if there were some batting cages...
Hmm.

i think just running is a mite boring.

but nakagawa has a whole lot of empty space and that makes it easy to do.

[masqueraid]

Boring?
Hmm...

I might know several track athletes that might disagree with you.
Nakagawa is always a nice place to visit, though. :)

wow so I never got a notif for this.

[littlemhigan]

running is running is running!

whats fun is running after something. or away from something.

i just fight things if i need to burn off energy.

np np!

[masqueraid]

Would you say the fun level increases with the danger level? Would running away from a Malboro be the ultimate training regime? Or maybe a hamster, hmm...

This is the part where I could break into Destinyland's famous rendition of "Under the Seas" but
I feel like the reference is lost through text.

[righthandstand]

okay so the underwater city
don't go for a swim because the pressure will kill yu

but they should have pools or something right
I read that swimming is the best exercise there is

[masqueraid]

It may even be worse than the pressure of trying to stay in shape.

Swimming wouldn't be a bad idea though, the last time I went was in the summer during that camp out.
Hmm...

[righthandstand]

what is the point of living underwater is you never swim

[bleating_heart]

try living in a house with children you'll get enough exercise

"Kid of all ages" probably don't qualify for this advice, I'm thinking.

[charming_jerk]

yeah i go jogging all the time. i live in Sparks Goldsaucia and it's actually a pretty good place for that in the mornings and afternoons, since it's a nightlife kinda place the daytime can be pretty dead in some areas.

[masqueraid]

Sparks Goldsaucia? I definitely haven't tried out there, yet.
Do you have any routes in particular you'd recommend?
Sights to see?

[charming_jerk]

some people like jogging in parks and whatnot, but i have no problem with streets and people. i'm used to that from back home.

yeah if you want i can point some stuff out on a map, give you a route to follow

It depends on where you live. There is an amazing running route in Yun'Aisha I take daily.

However, it could be a problem if you live too far away.

But, if you are looking for real combat training, we can discuss it. I wouldn't mind giving you lessons a few times a week.

( voice )

[masqueraid]

Yun'Ashia is a bit of a trek, but if the location as as good as you say I wouldn't mind making the trip.

Are you a combat specialist, by chance?

( voice )

[regalblaze]

There aren't many wild animals, which is what you requested. Mostly long fields and chocobo farms.

I was trained to be a Royal Retainer for my King. You could say I have a trick or two up my sleeve.

[masqueraid]

A King? I wonder, is it all right to be sharing royal trade secrets with a commoner like me in that case?

( there's a joking tone to it, followed by a light chuckle. ren can't exactly say he's had the best of experiences with 'kings.' )

[colzionetradingco]

I tend to travel around a lot, so I guess that counts? I always find myself revisiting Yun'Ashia though, I love the peaceful scenery there. If it's not too far for you, it could be a great spot.

[masqueraid]

Thankfully with the airship schedule there aren't too many places that are entirely inaccessible. Sounds like I should give Yun'Ashia a try.

Are there other places that you've visited in your travels that you'd recommend?

[colzionetradingco]

Definitely not anywhere in the Republic of Safer, unless you want to freeze to death. My initial visit to Safer Osu was miserable...

Ancient Oktavia was cool though. I'm not too familiar with tech-y stuff, but I enjoyed my brief visit there. It was pretty busy though, so if you're looking for a more quiet area, I wouldn't recommend that either.

[masqueraid]

Freezing to death wasn't on my to-do list, so I appreciate the tip. ;)

I've only spent a little bit of time in Oktavia, really mostly to acquire the Dark Knight skills. Maybe I'll have to have a closer look around...
I wonder if they have consoles...
Hmm...

[pidgeypidge]

Have you considered doing sit-ups in other places?

[That's... probably not terribly helpful, either. Oops.]

You might be onto something, though. Dealing with monsters is a decent way to burn some calories.

[masqueraid]

Well, it's a bit cold outside now, but I guess that might be invigorating in its own way...

The basement isn't terribly exciting though— maybe I should switch to chin-ups for some variety?

And of course— the running from hamsters obstacle course.

[pidgeypidge]

I didn't necessarily mean outside, but that's a good point.

But you know what they say- variety is the spice of life.

[Who actually says that? Hmm.]

We can't forget the running from hamsters obstacle course.
