Genetic mutation or expression. It doesn't have to have a point, it could just be a reflection of people being unique. Maybe they wanted to give him a unique trait while still keeping him a white man with short hair.

Elise won the poll.

We will see her in the next illustration.

There have been what-if themed arts posted every month featuring two characters in unusual scenarios. They've put out polls for fans to vote which character will show up in the art with another.

January was Shadow with a choice of Infinite or Cream with the former winning.

February was Amy with either Metal Sonic or Blaze, the latter one.

And March features Tikal with Chaos

[nja]They've been doing character polls for the monthly art piece and character story on Sonic Channel. The current theme is isekai. This month was Silver and either Elise or Merlina as the focus.

Elise actually could use the characterization anyway. Merlina's good enough on her own.

...Which makes sense why Elise could win. It isn't about the game, but the character. The whole point is seeing more stories.

Shadow?

I just wanted to see Merlina again, and I was wondering if she won, Silver would be replaced by Galahad. I was rather curious to see this multiplayer character more than seeing regular Silver and/or Elise.

I voted for Merlina, but as soon as I saw how far ahead Elise was in comparison I knew the die was cast.

The end result was pretty close though: 51% for Elise vs. 49% for Merlina.

Still stings but man that's neck and neck.

So I went back to do some exploring on the last island in Frontiers. The game straight up puts an invisible wall around that swamp at the north of the largest island, and the mysterious voice tells you to turn back. However, the invisible barrier only covers the swamp, and you can go all the way around it. There's plenty of collectibles and open zone platforming, and even one of those large square platforms that was probably intended to be one of those maze challenges. The northern rim of that area seems to have everything except enemies and overworld memory tokens. I wonder if the swamp itself was at one point intended to hold another GUARDIAN or boss battle.

That's exactly what it is, that's the spot where you fight SUPREME. You aren't supposed to be able to access it before the boss fight.

[up]x4 You wanna talk neck and neck? The poll between Infinite and Cream for Shadow ended with a 50.1% for Infinite and 49.9% for Cream. It's a literal 0.01% difference that could've easily been an even split! https://twitter.com/SonicOfficialJP/status/1599633365032132608?s=20

And rest assured, I'm not still salty that we were denied an official Shadow and Cream interaction just so Shadow can insult that stupid jackal again.

Look between a wholesome picture or an opportunity to take the piss at Infinite, I'll take Infinite's option in a heartbeat.

[up][up]Oh right. I just remember the final map trigger isn't actually over there. It's just weird how each island seems to do their boss arena differently. Kronos' is out of bounds from the regular map, but the TITAN is clearly visible from certain high spots. Ares' isn't actually reachable (easily) but is surrounded by island challenges and isn't made to look hidden. Both Kronos and Ares' Titans are visible waiting for you long before their fights. Chaos' is in what at first looks like one of the many bottomless pits, but the only one that's in the middle of an island. And then there's Ouranos', which is just... "don't go over here."

I remember reaching the Ares boss area early fairly easily. But since Wyvern is flying around above the island, it doesn't necessarily register that that'll becthe Boss area (well, where it starts)

These Twitter art stories aren't canon enough, so clearly any self respecting fan shouldn't even be enjoying them. (and before anyone throws any shade, that was sarcasm.)

On a more depressing note, SEGA's executive pachinko dealings most likely played a bigger part in the franchise's lurkwarm catalog and piss poor spin-off management in exchange for goodwill, by not constantly setting everybody's fanwork on fire.

One thing that I have noticed is that the Ancients in Sonic Frontiers are similar to the Drakons from Sonic The Comic.

  • Both are aliens from another planet, an unnamed planet for the Ancients and planet Drax for the Drakons
  • They both are responsible for the Chaos Emeralds, the Ancients brought the Chaos Emeralds from their planet, the Drakons invented Chaos energy then they put it into seven emeralds that they had stolen from the Echidna Emerald mines, creating the seven Chaos Emeralds.
  • They both had a member of their race mutated into the being called Chaos, a Chaos Chao who is a descendant of the Ancients and a Drakon Prosecutor.
  • They both had very advanced technology that could access dimensions the Mobius Rings for the Drakons and Cyberspace for the Ancients.
  • They both created giant guardian machines the Ancients created the Titan robots, the Drakons created the Stone Master Sentinel machines.
  • They both had abandon Island bases, the Drakons had Flickies' Island, the Ancients had Starfall Islands.

The main differences is the fact that Ancients were made of water whereas the Drakons were a race of Fish that lived in water, but both could go on land the Drakons using mobile suits and unlike the Ancients the Drakons are not extinct in the present day.

After devling into Zelda for a few videos, Pariah is back to Sonic with an interesting subject that many will probably not agree with.
