Glancing (Japanese: mitori) in Fatal Frame V is the ability to touch a spirit at the moment of defeat and witness a vision of its last moments. Yuri Kozukata, Miu Hinasaki and Ren Hojo all make use of this ability to learn more about Mount Hikami and the people who died there.
Historically, the ability was used by the Maidens of Black Water. When people came to the mountain seeking death, the maidens would witness their last moments and take on the burden of their sins and secrets. Those with the strongest power would be able to take in a person's memories simply by looking at them, and the maidens' penetrating gazes became an ominous theme in folklore about the mountain. Eventually, the shrine maiden's heart became too full to continue performing this duty, at which point she would be enclosed in a reliquary and submerged.
Gameplay
After defeating a ghost, the player will have a short opportunity to perform a Fatal Glance by reaching out to touch the spirit before it vanishes. Glancing a ghost for the first time will trigger a short cutscene showing scenes from the ghost's life, which can be viewed from the spirit list. It is necessary to Glance each ghost to complete the spirit list.
During battle, ghosts will sometimes enter an early Fatal Glance state, during which it is possible to perform a Fatal Glance and end the battle early. This can be performed by reaching out as usual, or by using the "See" Lens. A playlist showing the different spirits' glance opportunities can be viewed here.
Misc. Info
- The Japanese verb "mitoru" can mean both "to care for the sick" and "to perceive/see".
