@ScourgeHH Keep the same general frameworks for Trails and Ys, but go nuts with anything else.

We have seen that Falcom seems interested in changing up their gameplay formula with the new hybrid system in Trails and a more metroidvania style in Kyoto Xanadu. So my question is, do you want them to keep trying wilder genres or stick to what they are doing now?

@KiraHishotori It's not like it isn't understandable from a financial perspective atp, it's just kind of shitty because it feels like there were a lot of missteps by the company over the years that lead to this situation in the first place.

Dealing with financial constraints at my day job, I get why Cover may feel this is the best way to move forward. From a corporate perspective, cutting features to “save” a project is better than the project dying altogether. Even if cuts will also hurt talents, what is the best option of not optimal options? The best people can do as fans is show support and show that HOLOSTARS can be financially viable through that support. Hopefully this isn’t a harbinger to further cuts affecting all of the HOLOSTARS members. The boys are so incredibly talented and hardworking. They deserve to shine ✨ in the spotlight.

@vtange This was really set in motion at the very beginning by Cover not integrating them with the main branch more from the top down with branding, events, marketing, merchandising, bonus content like HoloGra, etc.

@vtange Yeah, there really isn't that much any individual female talent can hope to do about the situation even if they do like collabing with Stars, it's like trying to fix a chronic disease with a bandaid.

Please listen to Kiara here. I think it is unfair to blame the girls. A collab or two doesn't guarantee success to a smaller channel. It might make for fun clips but that alone won't save a channel. I'm thankful people like Kiara and Kanata try to steer Cover to the right track

@notyourclaude @nixus237 @TheXanaGuy The Trails series in general though tends to have a lot of more low-key segments focused on character interactions and worldbuilding, with a buildup to big climaxes at certain moments. Apart from a couple of exceptions.

@notyourclaude @nixus237 @TheXanaGuy Depends on what you consider good. If you don't pretty immediately enjoy it just for the characters and dialogue like I did, you're likely to find a lot of the first game a bit slow, though it picks up in the final chapter, and the next two games are quite a bit more eventful.

“Tales is the fast food of JRPGs “ “Trails is the fast food of JRPGs” all cope in the face of universal truth It’s final fantasy. Final fantasy is the fast food of JRPGs

@nixus237 @TheXanaGuy It is pretty mid in objective terms, though I still had fun with it just because I'm hooked on the world. Sky is unironically peak though. And even with Cold Steel, my description of it having some "loyal longtime fans who are crazy about it" is objectively true.

@Tan11_243 @TheXanaGuy Nah I played Trails of cold steel it’s mid

@DeanTTraining Won't build bigger legs, will transfer far better to athleticism though

The fact that people all over social media will watch these videos/see these machines in action and think… “That’s cool & all but I bet a Barbell Squat will do a better job of growing my legs!” …is still one of the CRAZIEST things in ALL of fitness Might be THE craziest tbh

@VTuberInsiderJP Making them a separate branch with mostly it's own separate events, merch, etc. arguably prevented them from ever receiving the full benefits of Hololive's popularity.

「ホロスターズが失敗したんじゃない。カバーが失敗したんだ」 という発言が同意を集めています。 はたしてホロスタが失敗したのはなぜなのか？ ホロライブの人気ありきなのに、ホロライブの客層のニーズに応えられなかったからだと言われています。

@AaronMorel8 @Tobirama0_0 Of course not, he just loosely implied it might have happened and then didn't elaborate whatsoever, lmao

@Tobirama0_0 This is definitely Ohkubo just trolling. He wouldn’t actually have two 14-year-olds have sex with a cat

???? 😭

@AsheaStuff_ @Heroine__P_ It contains smut, but I don't think it's right to call the whole thing that when it's like 0.1% of the runtime.

@Heroine__P_ Didnt fate start out as smut and isnt the protaganist of tshukihime a serial rapist and pedophile or is he not the protag?

Type-Moon has literally one single all-ages VN and it's just because Soujuuro doesn't know he can have sex yet, and the sequels are being blocked because of F/GO.

@TenthdocSmith @vt_takes3 Absolute schizo

@vt_takes3 Is the Vesper + Fauna thing actually confirmed or just schizo ranting?

the kill

@nazurinrei I think you're wildly misinterpreting what she said. She was a bit roundabout with it, but she was very much implying that the Stars never got a fair share of support from the company and that that really sucks.

@advocate_x15493 @hakosbaelz Pretty sure she's just implying that they were a major part of what inspired her to apply for Holo.

The phrasing here is too suspicious. 'I wouldn't be here' and the JP translation sounds like a final goodbye note. My sources in Tokyo are saying 2 major Holostars JP members have already handed in their graduation papers for June 2026. This isn't just a support post, it’s a farewell hint. The agency is in panic mode right now. Watch the 'Member-Only' streams tonight. 🚨📉😭 #Hololive #Holostars

I honestly wouldn't be here if it weren't for Holostars JP. I hope everyone will continue supporting hololive production - JP, DEV_IS, EN, ID, Stars JP & Stars EN! スターズがいなかったら今の僕は多分ここにいないと思います。これからもホロライブプロダクション - JP, DEV_IS, EN, ID, Stars JP そして Stars EN、みんなの応援をよろしくお願いします！！

@azahel452 @IrishWo1fhound @cover_corp This is literally a vtuber version of the "window-sitter" tactic that many Japanese companies use to pressure certain employees into eventually quitting without having to lose face by firing them openly. Put them in an isolated place with nothing to do until they go stir-crazy.

@IrishWo1fhound @cover_corp Ever heard of quiet quitting? This is quiet firing lol

[Announcement] Notice on the Changes to be Made to HOLOSTARS' Management Structure cover-corp.com/en/news/detail…

@IrishWo1fhound @cover_corp Only possible reason to stay is that they do at least receive a salary in addition to their streaming revenue.

@cover_corp Won't this just lead to them leaving? If they're just going to regular streamers, why bother staying with Cover and having some of the little money they earn get taken away?

@MetalIzanagi346 @TamsinVenrith @cover_corp Holy circular reasoning. He's saying that them being different projects is exactly why Holostars was never able to gain traction. If they wanted to have male talents remotely as successful as their female ones they would've had to just add them to the main branch like Niji does.

@TamsinVenrith @cover_corp How so? They're different projects.

@MicroicePhotos @TamsinVenrith @cover_corp There's some truth to that, but Cover themselves never pushing the Stars as a proper part of the "main cast" of Holo has a major part of allowing that shit to propagate because it puts the burden and consequences of being inclusive to the Stars entirely upon the female talents.

@TamsinVenrith @cover_corp You should also put the blame on many of the unicorns and purist who will throw a tantrum when any male gets near their oshi.

@hotiiofficial There are many degrees of arch that you can use. You're correct about an extreme one, but a very small arch will just keep your shoulders a bit safer and allow you to push more weight with very little reduction in ROM, so it's not a bad thing to do at all.

Don’t bench like this if your goal is muscle growth, powerlifting and bodybuilding aren’t the same, powerlifters use this technique for one reason only, to shorten the range of motion so they can move more weight for competition. Less range of motion = less muscle growth.
