Tomorrow, the annual Festival Of YAY will begin. Here is what I believe we can expect. (I am aware that this is a lot, and we’ll probably not get everything)
Prismatic Mimic and Rare Mimic:
I don't anything to say about Prismatic Mimic considering its the one thing that been almost entirely revealed, and seeing as its taking on a Cold appearance, FOY is a great time for it. Rare Mimic is also possible. If you recall, one of my predictions for Rare Mimic was Early January because that’s when Rare Clamble (the monster that has feathers from Mimic’s concept art) was released 10 years ago.
Psychic Island TitanSoul, the Cruv'laaphtian Cr____:
The D.O.M.A. video released yesterday gave us 2 sounds. The first one is one we've never heard before that sounds very alien. The second one if you listen closely, you can hear Psychic Island Toe Jammer (maybe there's more but that's the only one I can hear). So I think this is a teaser towards our next TitanSoul. I believe this one will release either on Dec. 25th, or Jan. 1st. (Christmas Day and New Years Day interestingly enough), Why? My theory is that the TitanSouls are releasing by Season. Light's TitanSoul released in the Fall, Psychic's TitanSoul will release in the Winter (which doesn't start until Dec. 21st), Faerie's TitanSoul will release in the Spring (Mar. 20 to Jun. 20, or preferably Echoes Of Eco 2025), and Bone's TitanSoul will release in the Summer (Jun. 20 to Sep. 22, or preferably SummerSong 2025).
Epic Strombonin, Rare Cranchee, and Young Strombonin:
I don't need to explain this one. Much like last month, they'll probably not all come out at the same time, especially since FOY is longer than FE.
Rare Drummidary:
Every December, we have an Amber Reprise sale where all Vessels are available. Now usually, we don't get new Fire Variants during reprises, but something about this reprise feels special. Epic Fire expansion monsters begin in January with Epic Yelmut, and I'd kinda like the Rare Fire Expansion monsters (and Rare Fires in general) to be finished before then. Rare Drummidary has been on everyone's minds for at least half a year now. We’ve talked and memed about its whereabouts so much. If any monsters were to come as some sort of holiday gift, I’d be Rare Drummidary.
Epic Monculus on Wublin Island, and the kickoff of Epic Wublins:
Although I’m not very confident in it releasing in FOY, I’m bringing it up now because the out-of-season Monculi are coming this month, and now would be a good time for Wublin Epic Monculus. I think this will begin the Epic Wublins, and I also think Epic Zynth will be added along side it. I have a theory regarding the Epic Wublin release order, but I’ll save it for another day.
Rare Magical:
Will we get one more Rare Magical to end off the year? I don’t know. I will say, tomorrow is the 5 year anniversary of Faerie Island, so Rare Pladdie maybe? Who knows.
Epic Double Ethereal:
Now for the million dollar question. Will we be getting Epic Dragong, or Epic Fung Pray this FOY? Hear me out, we’ll be getting BOTH. As you may have expected, this idea came about as a result of my Workshop Variant Prediction. One of the issues with that prediction is that Epic Double Ethereals, and Rare Triple Ethereals will overlap. I didn’t see this as a problem because the Fires had an overlap of rarities when Amber Island came out. But the idea that the final 2 Epic Double Ethereals both come out in FOY fixes that. And it’s not like I’m making proof-less assumptions to fit my narrative, because I actually found 2 interesting coincidences that that occur if this were to happen. Last FOY, we got Epic Bellowfish, the Mech and Crystal monster. While Dragong and Fung Pray share the Poison element, the elements they don’t share are Mech and Crystal respectively. And, the only other time we’ve gotten 2 Ethereal variants on the same day was in 2016, when we got Rare Reebro, the Mech single, and Rare Jeeode, the Crystal single. That leaves a 5-6 month gap until the Ethereal Epic Wubbox in Life-Formula 2025(supposedly), which given the sheer difficulty of Epic Ethereals, I think that’s a fair amount of time.
That’s it for me. We’ll see how this goes tomorrow.
