Green Light in Praetorium?

Now that I've had to run Prae a billion times over the last few days, I couldn't help but notice that green light ball in the Ultima cutscenes again. Have we ever managed to figure out what that is? Seems important.

^ It comes into frame at 11:52. And again at 12:14.

I don't think I've ever noticed that myself.
Could it just be a recurring visual glitch?

I've noticed it, but I've never really thought about it. Some vague clue that Hydaelyn is watching? Irradiated butterfly? Random shiny to see who's still awake?

Oh it's Frank the green glitch orb, a good friend of the Phantom Sword of Thordan.

So yeh, just a bug that's been around for a very long time.

As for whether its a glitch, I mean, possibly? It does seem to have its speed change depending on the how quickly the cam is rotating, but I don't know if that means anything. If its a glitch, its been in the game since launch.

Do we have some kind of official confirmation of that? I've seen people claim its a glitch, but there's nothing else anywhere in the scene like it. Not the same color. It doesn't move in relation to Lahabrea's teleport cloud, which is the only thing it remotely resembles.

I'll flip if it's the Heart of Sabik

Wouldn't that be inside UW at that time?

On reddit the other day, someone explained it's a visual glitch caused by the camera and all. It's the glow effect that is supposed to be displayed on Ultima's chest, inside the Heart of Sabik. Apparently, it hasn't always been this way, but started after some patch.

I just say its corrupted Aether when people ask in the instance.. i mean the polluted Aether from Bahamut's attack started as energy an crystallized into the structures we have now..
So why would an attack that caused "Such Devistation!" Corrupt Aether around it too!

Huh, literally never seen it myself.
