Epic 2.5D game main menu cinematic in the style of Final Fantasy XVI's title screen, multi-shot sequence with grand, sweeping camera moves. Shot 1: vast wide establishing shot — the character from the reference image (icy teal spiky hair, maroon-purple skin, green eyes, open red kimono jacket over off-white undershirt, lean athletic build, holding his spiked flame-etched mace) stands as a layered 2.5D cutout silhouette against a colossal, dramatic fantasy skyline — storm clouds, distant glowing embers raining down, shafts of god-rays cutting through mist, deep parallax depth. Slow, weighty camera push-in, almost reverent in pacing. Shot 2: cuts to a powerful 3/4 hero angle, kimono and hair whipping in a gust of wind, embers and sparks erupting off the mace as he plants it on the ground, intense rim lighting and lens flare, the kind of framing used for eikon reveal shots. Shot 3: low-angle hero shot looking up at him against a massive glowing crimson-and-teal sky, scale exaggerated to feel mythic and larger-than-life, like a legendary summon about to awaken. Subtle slow-motion drift on embers and fabric throughout for weight and grandeur. An elegant, minimal main menu UI overlay sits in the lower-left with refined fantasy-serif text: "START GAME", "LOAD GAME", "OPTIONS" — no loading bar, no percentage indicator. Lighting is highly cinematic and moody: deep shadows, volumetric god-rays, warm ember glow contrasting cool icy-teal highlights, color grading like a AAA RPG title screen. Maintain exact character identity throughout all shots: same icy teal spiky hair, same maroon-purple skin tone, same green eyes, same red kimono outfit.
