Diff - the world of idyll - Aniimo Wiki

11 Idyll is the continent where Aniimo takes place, a vast and lush open world of rolling hills, coastlines, and dramatic skies. It is the home of the wild Aniimo and the proving ground for the Pathfinders who explore it.

44 A Living Open World

66 Idyll is designed to feel alive. The creatures that appear in any given place change with the environment, the weather, passing phenomena, and the time of day, so the same area can offer different encounters from one visit to the next. This ties exploration directly to catching, rewarding players who learn the rhythms of the land.

8+A creature's Form is part of that. A species found in one place in its Basic Form turns up somewhere entirely different as a Highland, Snowfield or Beach Form, with a different elemental pairing attached, so the map is not one distribution of creatures but several overlapping ones. The full breakdown lives on Habitats of Idyll.

810 Astra, the Sky-Floating Metropolis

911

12+Above the continent floats Astra, a sky-bound metropolis and the game's main social hub, where Pathfinders gather, meet one another, stroll its lively streets, and take part in competitions. It connects the solitary thrill of exploration to a shared world of other players. Astra has shops, quest-giving residents, and its own landmarks.

The Global Closed Beta expanded Astra with new social features, including a Nimbi delivery service, stores for accessories and clothing, blind box building, and a pet park.

A location called the Outpost appears alongside Astra as a second place to shop, and the Outpost Hatchinator is where special eggs are hatched.

1318 Regions of Idyll

1419

15-The Lost Isles serve as the arena for the Egg Heist mode. A water-themed area called Crescent Bay was added for the Global Closed Beta, and the studio's own materials group its distinct block of ocean-dwelling Aniimo under the Whisperwake Isles region. Beyond these, the official world map names six broad regions of Idyll, each with its own look and conditions that shape the Aniimo a Pathfinder finds there.

18-Exploration during the beta also revealed a number of smaller named areas that appear as Aniimo habitats across the continent. A few examples of the creatures found in each are listed below.

23+The perfume village in the Sea of Flowers is named Bloomville in the studio's own creature features, which credit its finest perfumes to a single small creature, Dewy. Dewy and its evolution Fragrancier both carry Sea of Flowers as a habitat, which lines the two up.

2133 The Whisperwake Isles

2234

23-The Whisperwake Isles are the ocean region introduced alongside the Global Closed Beta, and the setting for the game's late-index Aniimo. Ten species are grouped there: Reefish, Coraliz, Cheekie, Wavwal, Bubbeep, Glameep, Popapus, Gachapus, Malangel, and Malevsera. Crescent Bay is the habitat most of them carry in the official creature index. Because the region's roster was still being tuned during the beta, several of its Aniimo were among those excluded from the farewell sealing event described on Development.

2539 Servers

2640

27-Idyll is hosted on regional servers. During the Global Closed Beta these ran as Aniimo-AP for Asia-Pacific, Aniimo-EU for Europe, and Aniimo-NA for the Americas. Each opened and closed on its own local schedule, and progress did not carry between them.

41+Idyll is hosted on three regional servers, named Aniimo-Americas, Aniimo-Europe and Aniimo-Apac. During the Global Closed Beta the same three ran under short forms and each opened and closed on its own local clock, with Apac on UTC+8, Europe on UTC+0 and the Americas on UTC-4. A character lives on one server, and beta progress did not carry between them. Mainland China is served separately from the international build. See Servers and Cross-Play.
