All Yoshiro Vocalizations.

All her vocalizations.

Gifs of her singing here.

It's quite relaxing to listen to.

I decided to create still footage for it although it was probably overkill.
This video would be perfect for my Battle on the Water(with vocals).
(I forgot to post it here so I'll add it before this post)

Stills from the video:

my favorite...

I made this thumbnail:

still the cutest...

But I asked ChatGPT to improve it.

...doesn't look right

It made it higher quality? My PS4 screenshots are...terrible. It demotivates me but only for a moment.

I added this one in for the A/B test and when I saw it as a thumbnail, I removed it lol:

it rubbed me the wrong way instantly

Bonus:

simple

Battle on the Water(with vocals)

The song played on boat battles but with Yoshiro's singing.

I made this very long ago. On my phone!

The End of Yoshiro.

 

The track played during the True Ending. Ripped from the game. 

I'm not entirely happy with the thumbnail. It's almost a waste to use this image on this track?

I can always change it.

Is Soh purifying Yoshiro or is she taking away her powers?

I ripped the track from the true ending and decided to post it on Youtube.

The working title was 'Final Purification & Yoshiro's Gratitude'

As I was making the video, I noticed Soh is absorbing something from Yoshiro.

That's how purification of the Goddess's power works: it's transference. 

She must be purifying Yoshiro. I've always thought this.

But then it seemed to me that Soh is actually absorbing her spirit from Yoshiro, causing the spirit stone transformation to reverse as there's no Goddess power within Yoshiro anymore.

When the pendulums swings to misfortune, does the spirit stone become defilement? As we saw with the previous spirit stone turning into pure defilement?
(Even though I've said this multiple times about the spirit stone becoming defilement, in this new context, is it actually a part of the cycle? That which is sacred becomes defiled? That which is pure must become impure?
The spirit stone becomes impurity. The pure Maiden becomes impure by making the impure pure?)

 And when it swings back to fortune, the defilement is turned into spirit stone.

When Yoshiro dances, this time there is no magic anymore.

For Eternal Pool of Sunlight, Ten's post suggested the Maiden's lineage has lost its power. At the time, this remark about her lineage confused me but it turns out this was revealed in Soh's Japanese bio:

She is the protagonist of this story and the guardian of the mountain shrine maiden, who belongs to a long line of such maidens.

It's also definitely implied, I guess...

I'll call it 'The End of Yoshiro', since Yoshiro seems to be the name given to the chosen Maiden and they will no longer exist.

In the end, the pure parts of us make peace with the impure parts...

Cursed Curves.

I may have questions.

For comparison:

All 'Yoshiro in Trouble' Voice Lines! (Japanese and English)

Should I add downloadable links?

I will consider it...

Making Youtube Thumbnails is hard.

Because of datamining, I have more stuff to share so I've begun using my youtube more.

@blademaiden

I post random gameplay clips from the game or Otherwordly Venture but also things I find in the game files. I've managed to pull a lot including music, vocals and voice lines.

I've posted the vocals only version of the two theme songs but there's still more!

After much thought, I decided to verify my Youtube to get access to custom thumbnails but making them is really hard.

I finished my 'Yoshiro in trouble' vocal compilation and wanted to make a thumbnail.

Here's what I attempted:

the very first...

graphic design is my passion

It's...not working. Frustrated, I asked ChatGPT how can I improve this? It's a mess.

You are so diplomatic lol.

This looks much better but it's a whole different image! And that's AI Yoshiro!!

She's lovely but Yoshiro's face is a little different to that. Alas, I am a sucker for beauty...

(I want to use this one...)

She's so pretty here.

I'm gonna use Youtube's A/B testing where it shows different thumbnail you select to check which is better.

But it's also unfair because ChatGPT's is obviously clearer and more neater than mine so its designs will win. But I'll do it anyway.

I did more edits, one being this:

when will the suffering end?

Gah. You do not want to see the other one I tried making. God help my soul.
(I simply have no eye for such things...)

I asked it make a Yoshiro vocalizations thumbnail for me to look at it.

Don't really like them...

Anyway. my youtube is just a supplement to this blog so I won't get too finicky about it.

I am going to try and make my own still. Maybe I should restart and try and use the aesthetic I used on the 'vocal' thumbnails?
