Onmyoji Arena Promotional Art Under Fire for Suspected AI Generation and Poor Detail

Recently, players discovered that the new promotional art for Onmyoji Arena featuring Kaguya-hime shows clear signs of AI generation. While the character model appears fine, zooming in on the background reveals glaring issues: the reins are clipped directly into the character's eyes, the horse ears are deformed, and the Ferris wheel frame is structurally inconsistent, appearing and disappearing at random.

To confirm the AI artifacts, players posted zoomed-in comparisons. They argued that these errors—particularly the broken architectural lines and illogical tethering—are not mistakes a human illustrator would make. Even when some users tried to provide comparison images, the skepticism regarding the developer using unedited AI content remained high.

The community reaction was fierce. Many commenters joked that it's "100% AI," with some even suggesting this be reported to international audiences to involve the Sanrio fan base. This sparked a broader debate about the decline of in-game art quality. While some argue that "cutting costs and increasing efficiency" is an inevitable industry trend, others find it unacceptable to disregard quality control, regardless of whether a human artist claimed credit for the design.
