I grabbed high quality screenshots from the opening video of the PC version of Kunitsu-Gami.
Some details that couldn't be seen before...
Soh's Spirit Stone has no face. (Or wasn't rendered one?)
There's a spike protruding from the facial area. We don't know what parts of her turned first but it must have been terrifying for her if it began in her face first.
That gaping crevice on her left arm is unsettling.
She's crystallized in a strange position. Why that pose? It gives the impression of one awaiting something. Sitting, or slightly crouching, on one leg. This post would look very odd in the mikoshi.
It would also look odd if she were watching her Messenger defeat Nanamagari.
Yoshiro's pose is understandable. Sitting on her side.
I wish we could have seen another cycle.
Could we, one day, maybe get a DLC of a previous cycle with a different Maiden?
Because of my previous posts on faces, I wonder if this is really 'Soh's Spirit Stone', or if a Maiden's Spirit Stone is just a way to pray to the Goddess.
Then again, if Maidens merge, then Soh is a previous Maiden having merged and so she is the Goddess now. (And she is, judging by artwork, lore and interviews)
