What to study

A manual extraction: the scene-change pass missed this fight (the cut in is a slow dissolve from the Therion flash), and the dense 1 fps scan found it. H'aanit's Thunderbird against a boss-scale beast, the only H'aanit frame in the set and the only summon-style beast skill. Exact ffmpeg -ss 50.5s extraction, chosen over 50.0s (beast blown out white by the burst) as the most settled frame. Frame at 50.5s in the ESRB EN - Launch Trailer (Steam). Flaws: mild chromatic-aberration fringing on the tail and ground from the Break effect; no vulnerability shield is visible in frame, hidden behind the attack effect.

No OCTOPATH TRAVELER (2018) video/image posting guideline found (two web searches, 2026-11-06). Square Enix publishes per-title guidelines; the nearest sibling, OCTOPATH TRAVELER II Guidelines for livestreaming and posting videos/images (https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/documents/octopath-traveler-ii-guidelines-for-livestreaming-and-posting-videos-images), permits personal non-commercial use only — no commercial or for-profit use, no use under a corporate body name, no cutscene-only content, with the legal line '© 2023 SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. All Rights Reserved.' and spoiler warnings for major story points. An ad-supported gallery is arguably outside that personal-use grant, so no Square Enix permission is claimed. Fallback: keeper frames are stills from the official Steam trailers, unofficial, not endorsed, takedown honoured within 48h. All 13 keepers are gameplay HUD, none are cutscenes.
