Splatoon 3 Grand Festival trailer details you might have missed:

1) Arriving at the Grand Festival:

You are greeted by this gate of ink streams flowing down. Pink, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, close to the colors of the rainbow! Also a big sign with the GRAND FESTIVAL logo on top.

"Sometimes when colors clash and mix, you end up with mud. But every now and then you get to see a beautiful rainbow!"

2) Fest duration, day/night cycles, idols outfits.

The fest lasts 72h-starting September 13th (Friday) 01:00 GMT+1 and ending September 16th (Monday) 01:00 GMT +1.

Fridays always have a sunset during events!

We can notice that the idols are wearing their default outfits during the sunset and are in separate stages-split into their groups.

Squid Sisters, Off the Hook, Deep Cut in their original outfits.

Weekends always have nighttime!

In both different stage settings (will go into more detail bellow) the idols are wearing their new special Grand Festival outfits.

3) Concert stage settings and details

3.1) Sunset/Friday: Setting 1

The shows take place under a big tent with lit up walls!

Squid Sisters, Deep Cut using the same stage setup. (There isn't any footage of Off the Hook using this setup, but we can assume they will use it as well)

The wall projections switch between a diamond-shapped pattern and images of Squids/Octopi.

Floating projections of diamond shapes and images of Squids/Octopi appear close to the stage-same as the wall projection at the time.

3.2) Sunset/Friday: Setting 2

It appears to be a different stage setup which is also used during the sunset. It's an outdoors stage facing the new plaza.

Off the Hook, Deep Cut using the same stage setup. (There isn't any footage of the Squid Sisters using this setup, but we can assume they will use it as well)

* * Editor's note* * My guess here is that: a) either one of the two will be used early in the final week and the other one later during the week or b) there's a third stage which we weren't shown, (I got that idea since both setups can only host one group) so that all the idols perform in different stages at the same time. And under some criteria, they switch stages-probably just by going through a loading screen. Or you can choose.

3.3) Saturday

All the idols are wearing their new outfits! They are gathered on one big venue which contains 3 different platforms-one for each group.

Squid Sisters in the center, Off the Hook on the left, Deep Cut on the right.

* * Editor's note * * They can switch positions! Maybe depending on the song, or randomly every time the plaza loads. Or maybe the platforms switch positions by moving counter-clockwise every few minutes. It can be seen in the images bellow:

First image: Middle SS, left OtH, right DC Second image: Middle OtH, left DC, right SS Third image: Middle DC, left SS, right OtH

Stage details:

Depending on which idol is singing, their respective lights on stage turn on. (It's easily noticeable here where you can see Pearl's mouth move as her light is on while Callie and Marie aren't moving their mouths and their lights are off.)

SS: Callie - Magenta, Marie - Lime green

OtH: Pearl - Pink, Marina - Teal

DC: Shiver - Blue, Big Man - Red, Frye - Yellow

3.4) Sunday

Now or Never Seven join the stage which is a single platform this time! They will be singing a new mix or a brand new song! Also there are stage fire machines and the edges of the wall around the stage is on fire. How cool is that

From left to right they are positioned as: Marina-Callie, Frye-Big Man-Pearl, Shiver-Marie.

4) Background decorations/characters

Wide view of an area away from the concert stages.

On the left can be seen posters of Big Man (green), Marie (Pink), Marina (Purple), Shiver (Green), Callie (Pink) all in the artstyle of Splatoon 2 OtH posters.

On the right, the tour bus for Now or Never Seven.

Close to the bus, posters of Shiver (Green), Frye (Green), Big Man (Green) all in the artstyle of Splatoon 2 OtH posters.

Jellyfish made out of paper floating in the sky attached to thin lines.

Boat in gold colour that resembles the wooden dinghy seen in the Grizzco lobby. It contains the giant Statues from the plazas also painted in gold, and some appear to not be completely built.

This band on "Sunset: Setting 2" is from Mahi Mahi Resort! (Thanks @Rachoogian for noticing it)

A poster near the Grand Festival gate that depicts DJ Octavio!!

A very cool security guard standing close to the "Sunset: Setting 1" stage.

5) The logos of the theme, a cool little detail.

Past is supported by the Squid Sisters, from Splatoon 1 and looks one-dimensional.

Present is supported by Off the Hook, from Splatoon 2 and looks two-dimensional.

Future is supported by Deep Cut, from Splatoon 3, and looks three-dimensional.

(These are just my speculations from analysing the trailer-don't take them for granted.) I could go on and on to comment about their outfits but maybe in a future post, this ended up way longer than I expected.

Let me know if I got something wrong or want me to comment on anything that I missed! Or something you didn't know and found out about now!

Thank you for reading and enjoy the Splatfest! くコ:彡 Ｃ:。ミ

Time for the big finale!

[thewisemankey]

Despite Team Future's overwhelming loss, (which was odd to me considering I spent the bulk of this event fighting against Team Present) I had fun during the Grand Festival of Splatoon 3.

Callie and her sarcastic cousin CLEARLY still got it! Wonder what kind of direction this will lead in Splatoon 4. (If there is a 4, knock on wood.)

Until then, onto the next battle!

Alright which one of you bitches used the spell to grant this game….I want to thank you

[kissxlove1]

I hope we get answers about the ghost girl, the ultimate weapon, AZ's Floette and the desert/power plant area.

I can't wait 😁

Splatfest results

I honestly made this meme before the Splatfest and debated posting it but I have no other way to express my thoughts about the Splatfest.

I actually am surprised I saw more people on team future unironically have this opinion I frankly didn’t want present to win because I didn’t want Splatoon 3 post splatfest dialogue and/or Splatoon 4 to be “the present moment is so great” when it’s just… not at all to make a long story short. I don’t know why others may hold this opinion though the actual typical last Splatfest reasons were secondary to me honestly… if I had to independently rank reasons for teams winning it would be something like

Theme for Splatoon 4: Future, Past, Present

New Game: Past (Splatoon 1 remake) Present (Splatoon 3 Deluxe) Future (Splatoon 4)

Me before August 23: Future, Present, Past

Me now: Future, Past, Present

My overall thoughts on Splatoon 3 are to long and bitter at some points so I won’t talk about it much but if there is one thing a future Splatoon game should do I think they should go back to doing splatfests like in 2 there were A LOT of problems with splatfests in 3 for 1 reason or another. With Splatoon 4 or Splatoon 1 remake (whichever) I’ll have to wait and see how I feel regarding it and the switch 2 (which I’m still largely undecided on) though I think a Splatoon 1 remake is a more likely purchase then Splatoon 4 for me TBH

Second match in, got into a 10X and won! For those of you that were on my team, y'all were awesome! And for those of you who played against us, GGs!

[hauntaku2]
