Mydei Moments It's Absolutely Criminal We Missed
Although I'm very thankful for the fact that Mydei continued to play a central part in Amphoreus's plot even after his character story was completed, and I adore every scene we were given in the game, there are still soooo many moments I wish we had gotten the chance to see. Just... so many, like:
1. Mydei's first encounter with another human being after growing up entirely alone in the Sea of Souls. Was he scared? Intrigued? Confused? Didn't even register the other people as the same as himself??? I'm dying to know.
2. Mydei's first meeting with Aglaea. AUGH! Why couldn't we have gotten a flashback? In Cycle 33,550,336, Phainon was the one who met Mydei first (as Okhema's vanguard) and he presumably brought Mydei into Okhema, but what was the first meeting of Crown Prince and Okhema's de facto leader like? She mentioned being afraid of him at first, but he doesn't seem to have ever realized that... I have a feeling that first conversation must have seemed completely different depending on whose perspective it's considered from... I want to know...
3. Mydei's first time seeing a chimera. When did he first discover chimerae? Was it when he was young, fresh out of the Sea of Souls, or only after coming to Okhema?
4. Mydei convincing the Council of Okhema to accept the Kremnoan refugees. Apparently this happened in basically every cycle, so it's wild that we never got to see it at any point. How did Mydei actually manage to persuade the xenophobic Okheman council (complete with Caenis) to let the Kremnoans stay?
5. Mydei with Kokopo. Why the hell did they introduce Mydei having a dromas and then we never even get to see him interacting with his own dromas? Criminal. I needed to see Mydei being buffeted around by a giant dromas that acts like an over-eager puppy like... yesterday. Also uhhh... if the current dromas is Kokopo III, what happened to Kokopo I and Kokopo II??? DDD;
6. Mydei's first time meeting Lygus. I feel it in my bones that he hated Lygus from Day 1, I feel it. I know he hated that smarmy hunk of metal on the spot; I definitely feel like we should have gotten to see Mydei being like "I trust that awful guy way less than the distance I could throw him."
7. Mydei engaging in swift-footed dancing. Hoyo, you cannot introduce an NPC that gives us a whole dialogue on Kremnoans being famous for a very specific style of dancing and then never let us see Mydei dance his people's own cultural dance??? Cruel.
8. Mydei's first bath with Phainon. I WANT TO SEE HOW AWKWARD THIS WAS. I KNOW IT WAS AWKWARD. I KNOW PHAINON WAS STARING. I KNOW MYDEI WAS WEIRDED TF OUT.
9. Mydei learning to cook. I'm assuming the Kremnoan bros taught him, but how did he go from eating raw shrimp and whatever he could kill to being a five star chef? How did he get into cooking itself as a hobby? ...Who taught him that pancakes are a health food???
10. Mydei yapping at Hyacine while she heals his injuries. This is just such a cute image, it's so criminal that we never got to see it in-game. I want to see Mydei rambling all kinds of positive nonsense to try to make Hyacine feel better after being stuck healing gruesome injuries. D;
11. Mydei and Cipher locked in a vicious game of shadowless treasure hunting. Again, how are they going to reveal that Kremnoans have an entire tradition revolving around playing the "who can steal most effectively from each other" game and then NOT let Mydei and Cipher play that game together? The option was RIGHT THERE??
And I could just keep listing them forever... Hoyo, do you understand? I need one thousand more scenes for Mydei. If you're going to cancel Edo Star, just let Mydei have like five patches of cute content instead? D;
