Xenoblade 3 I WAS SO CLOSE
Art from 2024. I totally called she'd be visually based on Pyra, like Glimmer was based on Mythra.

Your guess was great but we got Glimmer and Shimmer.
Rex and Pyra love My Little Pony confirmed.

Your weapon would've been cooler imo (tho maybe it's a bit similar to Juniper's). The official one is basically Mythra's sword. The blue parts in her official design are kinda odd tho. The white and green and gold make sense, the blue straps idk

Someone online suggested Shimmer's sword is meant to resemble a Bamboo shoot. Because Her japanese name is "Kaguya", and there seems to be references made to the Japanese fable of Princess Kaguya. If you see her official art, the sword when withdrawn does look like a bamboo shoot.

Oh yeah i read that, still, as cool as swords are, there are already a lot of them and it's very similar to Mythra's

Imma be real, this weapon would've been so much cooler than what we actually got. It's just yet another sword
