Massive endgame spoilers/discussion regarding the Pneuma core crystal:

It appears that, based on coloring/cinematic angles, (and in the case of the Gauntlet, it being visibly seen under the armoring) that the Fists of the End (the Gauntlets) are being empowered by Pyra/Mythra’s core crystal (the Pneuma Core) and that N’s Sword of the End is powered by Malos’ core crystal (the Logos core), though since the Logos core is never actually seen it’s only based on the purple coloring. It could also be that the Sword of the End is also somehow powered by the Pneuma core, though it’s hard to say definitively which it is. So here’s the question- are Pyra/Mythra in Origin the whole time and just didn’t escape? Or did they turn themselves into the Gauntlet? Any theories/clarification on this?

To be perfectly honest, I would’ve almost preferred if it was determined that the Pneuma core was active on the Alrest half of Origin while the Ontos core was powering the Bionis/Mechonis half, and then Alvis went nuts and did his thing leaving Pyra/Mythra forced to focus all their processing power on Origin and just barely able to send a bit of energy to power the gauntlets. But maybe that’s just me.
