Whoever they get.

Will it have the BWOOOOOOOOOM guy from the apocrypha anime, make the ears bleed again

Be fair to the BWOOOOOM in Apocrypha, there was one scene where that actually worked

[Byegod]

and many that hurt my ears

Like the sound design worked... at times but other times it was just overwhelming

Also, who do you think would have the hardest figure to make, like what character would be harder?

>lets exclude obvious like the centaur shapes like xiang yu

thats a statue lmao

Goetia would be unbalanced right?

[Lily Emilio]

Tiamat 2nd form would require several supporting pieces to hold her wings and the tail.

[pinetree]

Koyanskaya of Light's gun halo just can't work. It'd look really bad with a bunch of transparent plastic parts connecting everything.

[Byegod]

That would fall apart and break super easily too

HD DEEN TSUKIHIME

Memes will have completely warped my view of bandage man before I manage to sit down and read the remake.

[Nanaya]

I'm not sure Nasu will be able to live up to the memes. Saiki will have to have the absolute greatest showing in TM by the time RG hits.

Watching a video on that unmade zelda sheikah game

Gotta wonder how many developmental assets and notes in TM never came out, and how much of what we see has ideas vs just flavor

[Ideofago]

If the ideas were scrapped, it's because they were deemed not good enough

[Menwearpink]

Or because nasu consumed insert current popular media of the year recently and decides to change everything based o nthat.

[Byegod]

Also there are plenty of things that get scrapped because of other reasons

The video i was referencing got scrapped for primarly because the gameplay demo that was made for the game was fucking garbage

also whats good enough is very much YMMV

[Nanaya]

At the very least, apparently Takeuchi made a ton of (expressions, was it?) that never made it into RE because they couldn't find a place for them.

Y'all got any of them celestial motes?

To elaborate a little, this word that I translate as 'celestial mote(s)' (星の素子), seems to have appeared once before in Japanese fiction, namely an old fantasy manga from 1993 known as Seisenki Erna-saga.

This twitter poster speculates that it is an intentional reference on Nasu and Takeuchi's parts, but who knows. It is a funny thought though.

As an added bonus, this term has only appeared in TM 3 total times, once in TsukiR, once in F/GO, and once in MBAACC:

―――再演算、完了。これより星の素子を臨界回束し、全ての資源を賢者の石に注入する―――
Recalculation complete. Proceeding to critical coalescing of celestial motes—discharging all resources into the philosopher's stones.

これは……星の素子か。
……うむ、イケる。
奇妙な加工をするものだ。
Are these… celestial motes?
Forsooth, these will do.
Such peculiar processing that is applied to them.

幽玄の花。この地上でただ一つの、輝ける星の素子。
A flower of profound grace; the only celestial mote which can be found shining on Earth.

So anyway, what's up with term?

Seems to me like it signifies the components that make up the planet, not unlike True Ether/Gin/Grain.
Like we needed another word to describe that!
From the first quote we learn Dust of Osiris' plot involves eating them to end the world.
From the second quote we learn that, uh, the experience cards from FGO is made out of them... (?)
From the third quote we don't learn much at all, other than Roa making a flowery comparison.

[madarra]

we're all made of stardust right? so absorbing stardust/celestial motes makes us stronger?

Maybe Roa is making more than a comparison? Maybe it's the component that makes Arc. It does sound like another term for what makes up the planet though. Another term for TE?

[Byegod]

Whats the fantasy manga plot or themes?

It's probably a fucking reference if its THAT obscure. Also 1993....., thats near around one of the dates of mahoyo (as I noted either 1996 or 1993 when comparing interviews as the dates didnt add up in the past)
