Signifiance of colored lines in Mandala room (potential spoilers?)

[TerraEsperZ]

After completing the main path of the game, I started exploring the previous areas and I noticed that the Mandala rooms don't show the same colored lines in each level.

At first, I thought the room was meant to be the same across all levels with the lines indicating either completion (so they would fill in more and more as the game went on) or perhaps visible and hidden connections between levels that had been found.

But neither seem to be the case. In some levels, every line is colored while in others, only some are.

I've made a little graphic to show the state of the Mandala room in every area (the current one is highlighted) post-game :

Is this normal and if so, what does the state of each line mean?

I made the same observation just now, and was wondering the same thing.

@Zandra it's totally an intended feature, remember? we talked about this... ;)

That is how it's supposed to work. Like Zandra pointed out, it's fairly obscure and even when testing internally we just make sure the fast travel works but didn't pay attention to the lines.

@TerraEsperZ thanks for bringing this to our attention. We'll address it in a future update.
