    About the eyes I think you missed the animal stand point on it as well.
    Joyous eye is very reminiscent of a goats. In universe it might have been modeled after the main popularion of Lethania, goat people. Not only to add that herbivores are normally seen as safe animals.
    Anger and Sorrow eyes are reminiscent of a humans (same with Tomorow's, signifying human progress most likelly!). The most common eye type seen around nowadays, in universe that is, since the majority of the population is mostly human. Very round eye with a proper Iris. The small context on them, red "horns" on anger and side curves (a "halo") on sorrow, may tie them further into afterlife shenennigans.
    The last eye, Fear Opus, is back to reminiscing of animals, this time, predators. Likely modeled from them. Lethanian people likely seen other predatory species as dangerous, something they must hidro from else be hunted, a primal fear into itself! Nothing else to say here really.
    Remenber that on arknights there are people like Mountain that are very much animalistic, these people will show diferent irises from the more common (and Franklyn boring) humans with animal ears and tails.

      Thanks for the insight! This story is certainly one that I'm not as familiar with so I definitely am missing some connections that could be made.

      Don’t worry my guy more and more ppl are pushing against Gen ai. That and some places like South Korea and for now the US just out right don’t give Gen Ai copyright protection. And ppl are starting to wake up to the marketing bs.
      As for china idk but knowing low light he knows part of the reason ppl play Arknights is the story and art from the illustrators. I can’t say though they will use it in the future in some way shape or form

    As a small comment the backgrounds of each card are also related to their titles
    Happiness card: An die rose > Near/beside the rose
    Anger card: Vedunien Geigenbauer > Vedunien violin maker (I'm not sure about vedunien)
    Sadness card:Trauerhorns nachlied > Sad horns' night song
    Fear card: Der verdrehte turm > The twisted tower
    Tomorrow's oppus: Die reise > The trip/journey

    A very insightful and thorough analysis. There were a lot of things, especially with the card designs, that i didn't notice myself and seeing them showcased in this video really made me appreciate the art of this minigame more. Arknights really does do some amazing graphic design.
    Could you maybe also dive into Expeditioner's Joklumarkar graphic design?
    The Foldartals designs along with the design theme of the UI of early American expeditioner's notes and documents combined with the tribal aesthetic and icy elements really make for an unique experience that I believe would make for a pretty good video subject.

      I'll perhaps keep it in the bucket list of video ideas but I'm even less familiar with those sorts of artworks and designs so it may take a long while till I feel comfortable with tackling it.

    One thing about the Joy eye for me, the tendrils at the side might also resemble arms, and the shape of them can be someone doing the 'wave; motion with their arms which usually signifies joy and happiness. Iirc it's commonly done in sporting events when your team is winning for example, and done in parties and other gatherings and dances.

    In regards to the fear opus, my first thought in regard to the meaning of the tall tower in the illustration was tying it to a fear of heights, which is a common phobia.

    I really hated the colors, because they are so muted that it makes it very hard to distinguish them when you look at the small icons. I have no problems seeing the differences in the crafting menu, but once the colors are on the cards and you try to recreate a certain card it becomes a struggle.
