I thought the Crystal Orb would be yellow, but instead it looks like the sky contained in a ball. I like that a lot more, since Aether is the god of the sky. The godly particles are still yellow, though.
Spirit Burst is pretty generic, but the exclusive rites really steal the show. I was NOT expecting a minion summon this early in the game… That’s super cool! Aithoro is awesome too. Spirit energy VFX are GORGEOUS.
what would be cooler is if the stand added on to your moves, for example if your opponent gets hit by spirit blast your stand teleports behind them and hits them with some spirit imbued punch
Oh damn I just realized. With this move we can finally cheese the hell out of Captain Maria to get back at her for all her BS! Same with Architect Merlot. Nice invincibility move spam idiot, unfortunately ORA!
Just realized you can make a pretty solid Wukong cosplay build once we get savant second awakening using this thing. Staff, crystal orb for the “clone”, golden spirit energy, whatever fighting style may be most appropriate maybe vanishing as you do disappear a lot in Black Myth Wukong, and fire or light magic to finish it! Yellow lightning would also be a pretty aesthetic choice.
I’m hoping that the spirit companion can be customizable further into the story line, to either make it look like us or into a completely different animal. Either way all I wish to say is YES YES YES.
I sincerely doubt any rite is going to be customizable to any degree sadly. Maybe if we get an equivalent lost spell type one day. Like a Conjure Elemental spell or something. I mean the very idea of “elementals” was first created by the Greek philosopher (never mind Google AI lied, he was a German philosopher and alchemist) Paracelsus who described them as somewhere between animals and spirits.
