Back when Apple Arcade was announced in March 2019, Mistwalker said it was developing a new gamed called Fantasian for the service. While art has occasionally been shared for it online, there haven’t been too many major updates. Now, a finished castle diorama has been shared on Twitter.
Here’s the tweet showing off the Fantasian castle diorama. Carpets, arches, statues, and even greenery are now in place.
#Mistwalker is currently developing a completely new RPG #Fantasian from the ground up. #Fantasian will be available on #Apple‘s new subscription service, #AppleArcade. @AppleArcade

This isn’t the first time this particular diorama has been shared. Hironobu Sakaguchi, the Mistwalker founder, has been sharing peeks at them on his Twitter . Back in May 2020, he showed an in-progress image of this scene from multiple perspectives. (That same month, he also mentioned how critical dioramas will be in this game in realizing this “world.”)

You can get a better sense of scale for these dioramas by looking at this video of Charles’ room.
【シャルルの部屋】の組み立て。
シャルルは、城の使われなくなった通路を改造して自分の部屋にしている。
この部屋には、シャルルが城下町で元気のない植物を見つけると、植木鉢に植えかえて育てているという裏設定があるらしい・・・@AppleArcade#Fantasian 開発現場より pic.twitter.com/CD8TXOKwjB
