If you play with a controller with a microphone, and blow air into it, paymon get blown away and if you do it enough she gets angry

3:22 While the adventurers handbook is open I know at least 3 things that "move" while it is open. Energy particles are still pulled to the character and you still get the energy as normal if collected. The 1 second swap cooldown also keeps counting down while the book is open. Both of theese tricks are sometimes used in abyss speedruns to gain time and is usually called "booking".

The abyss timer(and probably other timers) is also wonky if you spam the book.

3:21 it's because that screen isn't acutally the game it's a picture of your game when you open the menu. Things are still moving you just can't see them

[-_-.]

about my theory paimon pause menu pauses server level game movements meanwhie client level game movements can be still active since its not that important for them.

when you take a picture when beating up enemies it still kills you if you stay in the image screen for too long, but if you take a pic while gliding you're still in the same spot

About that last one, I definitely noticed that during the Narzissenkreuz quest lines after all the important people have gathered during the final parts of the combined quest.

If you open your shortcut camera right after leaving the menu and point it at paimon she‘ll stay as long as your camera is on and will wave at you and do her usual animations. Though she’s not gonna be visible to other players in co-op.

Another thing is the regulate screen when you beat a chamber or floor of the abyss, sometimes your characater is still in an animation and it causes your character to slide around. It looks so funny and weird lol

the lady in the liyue harbor that throws feed in the water near the teleportation moves even you pause it when everything else moves it amuse me

Paimon doesn't move when you pass time with the menu clock, but the foliage does.

I know that wait times between idle lines and animation for playable characters still countdown during the pause menu. Too many times did a character go into their idle, I interrupt and pause the game, and after some time unpause to see them do another idle immediately.

I literally have a screenshot where paimon is somewhere onscreen for the aq but then also for the pause menu… two paimons at once

[datsat]

If you forward the time, Paimon is also frozen but other things and even some NPCs are not.

Bruh, when in between entering and exiting things in the menu, the enemies move. I got my girl, Emilie, bonked over the head by a biggiechurl when I was quickly going through the menu during a fight.
