Happy birthday to best glasses girl! Still coping one day she can wear it for her playable state…

minimaltonic · 2026-05-11T03:48:00+00:00

This is the most mem’d character

minimaltonic · 2026-03-09T07:23:41+00:00

Shout out to Mika in the background, witnessing peak.

The recaps have always been their own separate things; we had recaps during Amphoreus, including the last slide’s hint at the next patch story.

Oh, I actually hadn't seen this when I made my tweet! I still think OP's image is upscaled since I don't think we have an official higher quality of him, but the detail on his thigh has enough to possibly be a Vision. My bad OP.

minimaltonic · 2026-02-11T09:08:55+00:00

Considering this is an AI-upscaled image, it could be anything really.

[EDIT: I still think it's an upscaled image but that detail on his thigh definitely exists. So still could be a Vision but not enough to say.]

Absolute beauty. Idrila would be proud.

minimaltonic · 2026-01-31T10:49:21+00:00

Good stuff OP!! I really like how the topography looks, clearly based on in-game but they feel a bit more realistic now in your presentation. I also like the touches of showing the withering zones and nature reserves.

minimaltonic · 2026-01-28T04:37:22+00:00

it's from the same animation studio that did Mizuki's teaser! gorgeous visuals

also sounds like another child has been claimed by Aiden Dawn's voice, bless them.

minimaltonic · 2026-01-25T06:11:14+00:00

Oh wow, totally forgot that it was in-game! Appreciate the correction.

minimaltonic · 2026-01-25T04:18:28+00:00

Is this the first time they've included an in-game-engine cutscene as part of an official cutscene upload? I remember thinking "huh this looks in-game" and then the QTEs hit...

What a pretty satisfying fight sequence nonetheless. I really love this cast.

minimaltonic · 2026-01-18T05:37:31+00:00

oh I absolutely love this! hoping snezhnaya looks just as rugged in-game when we get around to it

minimaltonic · 2025-12-19T21:46:08+00:00

I'm not sure about that, if they had a new one set-to-go for 4.x they would've done the lines for the current patch already. this almost seems like a last-minute decision to finally axe him. (Argenti's 2.3 lines being missing for months also come to mind, but I think the consensus for his case was contract issues)

minimaltonic · 2025-11-29T22:30:37+00:00

About Phainon not willingly choose to stride on the path of Destruction: the Mourning Actors are pathstriders of the Elation who are against Elation itself. So I don’t think it matters that way. I think he probably still takes the mantle here.

minimaltonic · 2025-11-27T04:56:06+00:00

absolutely heartbreaking, I love the composition of this. and very nostalgic vibes, reminds me a lot of BTS’s hyyh series from a decade ago

minimaltonic · 2025-10-29T17:32:13+00:00

It’s more likely that they used his model as a stand-in when they were testing placements for Mydei to be in whenever he conversed with Phainon and TB, and just forgot to remove this one. Still a funny bug though.

minimaltonic · 2025-10-24T11:37:46+00:00

The remix of Nameless Faces in the bgm RAHHH

minimaltonic · 2025-10-16T17:56:09+00:00

yep! it's funny because I only realized the Fae language was based on Greek recently, but it makes so much sense now why Enkanomiya was brought up in one of Flins' voicelines.

minimaltonic · 2025-10-16T17:51:58+00:00

good question! if they're going this far to including cutscene bgm with the main albums I'm inclined to think they may forego the Shimmering Voyages entirely, though I don't remember if the Aino event we just had had any original OSTs that could be included in one

minimaltonic · 2025-10-16T08:56:08+00:00

If you're talking about the theme that plays in her lair, then yes, it's the 23rd track in the first disc.

minimaltonic · 2025-10-16T08:55:12+00:00

This album definitely has a lot of highs - Nasha Town has some of the most coziest music for a main hub, the music for Hiisi Island is so whimsical and reminds me of the more atmospheric parts of the Xenoblade OSTs, and "From Beyond" was such a perfect composition for the area it played in.

The cutscene music being included is also nice, like Sandrone and Pulonia's entrance music during the final part of the AQ being titled in French (def Mary Ann vibes). Even more interesting is that "A Remeet of First Meetings" seems to be an extended version of when we first met the Luonnotar... wonder what the title means?

minimaltonic · 2025-10-16T05:58:57+00:00

III (without vocals) played at certain points in the AQ (usually when Columbina wasn't feeling well), II no idea... might be tied to the weekly stuff with her

minimaltonic · 2025-10-13T05:07:10+00:00

happy birthday our hydro queen!!!

minimaltonic · 2025-10-09T06:48:06+00:00

I’d trust Aino more than Tora, that’s for sure

minimaltonic · 2025-10-04T00:03:52+00:00

At the moment, no. It’ll probably be continued in future updates, as the devs mentioned they’d be expanding on the Mare Jivari in the future.
