Alphinaud's Moonstone Carbuncle stands out for being noticeably larger than the standard players' carbuncles. This difference in size was first evident when Alphinaud summoned it during "The Measure of His Reach" solo battle (Lv.70) and has remained consistent throughout subsequent appearances, including the "Emissary of the Dawn" roleplay battle where we fight as Alphinaud and related cutscenes, as well as in all Shadowbringers Duty Support/Trust dungeons.

When Duty Support was added for "Ala Mhigo" and "The Drowned City of Skalla" (both Lv.70 Dungeons), I noticed that Alphinaud's Moonstone Carbuncle was the same size as players' carbuncles in those instances instead of being larger as usual, which seemed like a mistake.

It would be nice if this issue could be fixed because, right now, when players go through Stormblood will encounter Alphinaud's Moonstone Carbuncle in its larger form during "The Measure of His Reach" solo battle (Lv.70), only to see it shrink in size specifically for "Ala Mhigo" and "The Drowned City of Skalla" Duty Support, before returning to its larger size from the "Emissary of the Dawn" roleplay battle onwards into Shadowbringers.

All Stormblood dungeons in which Alphinaud will summon Moonstone Carbuncle:
  • Ala Mhigo
  • The Drowned City of Skalla

Steps:
  1. Utilize New Game + to progress through MSQ Stormblood Part 2 until you reach the Lv.70 Solo Battle "The Measure of His Reach." During this battle, Alphinaud's Moonstone carbuncle is noticeably larger than standard players' carbuncles. (By playing Summoner, you can summon your own carbuncle next to Alphinaud's for a clear comparison.)
  2. Next, enter "Ala Mhigo" and "The Drowned City of Skalla" dungeons using Duty Support with Alphinaud in your party. You'll notice that Alphinaud's Moonstone carbuncle size has shrinked and here it matches the size of players' carbuncles.
  3. Now enter any Shadowbringers dungeons through Duty Support/Trust with Alphinaud in your party. In Shadowbringers dungeons, Alphinaud's Moonstone carbuncle returns to its correct size, being noticeably larger than standard players' carbuncles.
