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 account. 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
