I reckon we should focus on the Galileo clue, seeing as that’s where the last clue pointed harder at (confirming the clue from the day before).
When do you guys think... Next trailer drop is?
I think next week
i think 24th
i doubt they would do it before mw2 reveal
they would have all the attention stolen away
it’l likely happen 0.5-1.5 weeks after mw2
Yeah, if not the 14th I’d go with the 29th instead.
And maybe playtest starting the same day?
i could definitely see that happening
I really hope its the 14th
a trailer and playtest drop at the same time
kinda like the matrix UE5 thing at game awards last year
Yeah, that audio Easter egg in the trailer leans towards that. Unless it was saying “14th of December” and it was the release date 
After listening to it over and over for like half an hour it definitely sounded like 14th of September.
Also, the coins changed in the Make it Rain image - so it’s like the message was delivered with the gold stars.
Lord pls
Remember when Apex was just surprise released outta nowhere
Honestly that was awesome
I would love to see something similar with this game
I do like getting to know the lore a bit beforehand. They could still surprise us though.
i think gta5 too
Disclaimer this is purely from a fan perspective not a professional one-- early Apex was some of my absolute favorite Easter Egg hunting ever
That was 100% a gamble. It could of flopped super hard
I will agree it was awesome though
Oh man it must've been quite the conversation at that table with execs and devs and the one person trying to convince them to try it
If I remember correctly. Apex was more of a side project and EA wanted something to match pubg.
Apex was just presented and said. Lets just push it hard day 1. Get hype and just go. Game almost got denies but they were far along in production ea gave the greenlight
There is a ton of behind the scenes in early days
Yeah that's weird lol
I was also trying to link it to Galileo and or previous numbers we found and also Devon crossing because I think if we don't connect these things we won't get anywhere..
I agree. The connections might not be obvious but they should be there. The thing is, is the Galileo birthday about Galileo or Pisa? Or telescopes?!
There's an observatory in Devon
There's an observatory in Devon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Lockyer_Observatory
The Norman Lockyer Observatory, the Lockyer Technology Centre, and the Planetarium (jointly NLO), is a public access optical observatory 1 mile (1.6 km) east of Sidmouth, East Devon in South West England. It houses a number of historical optical telescopes, including the Lockyer Telescope, and is operated by Norman Lockyer Observatory Society (N...
its 21
I think you guys got pretty far with that tho ngl
Just gotta try more possibilities
Really? lol
bc it is up side down
Wdym 21
wait guys whats this
https://archive.org/stream/devoncornwallnot12amer/devoncornwallnot12amer_djvu.txt
very interesting
cornwall is connected to iseult as well
and that mentions Devon, Mr. Crossing, Cornwall and Galileo
someone do a word search for galileo and crossing and egg im on mobile
there's 18 results for egg
on the glasses of that image
A clock (Fig. 2) with a similar escapement was made by John Morcombe of Barnstaple, and placed in the Town Hall of Harton in the parish of Hartland. He new made " it in the year 1657-8, but the anchor or recoil escapement which replaces the old verge and balance must have been substituted at least ten or twelve years later. The pendulum was devised for clocks in the year 1637, when **Galileo** enunciated the law of vibrations or swings of the pendulum, i.e. its isochronism.
Devoniensis
one reference to galileo
a lot of “Easter” ‘s i noticed too lol
oh shitttt
doesnt that make it 51
oop
if it is 51 then thats the missing number in that list
not that it means much since we already used several of them
it still being 2
bc you have to rotate it, not mirror
ohh good find
https://pearl.plymouth.ac.uk/bitstream/10026.1/2575/1/MICHAEL ANDREW HUTCHINSON.PDF
this is interesting too but it may be overlapping information idk
that works too
we have 51, 15, 21, 12
thats devilish
idk if it helps in the hunt but it looks pretty slick
idk just trying
how?
looks like hes strangling a dude on the ground
Iseult (), alternatively Isolde (), is the name of several characters in the legend of Tristan and Iseult. The most prominent is Iseult of Ireland, the wife of Mark of Cornwall and the lover of Tristan. Her mother, the queen of Ireland, is also named Iseult. The third is Iseult of the White Hands, the daughter of Hoel of Brittany and the sister ...
is the first time i see something about iseult
wdym
Considering Iseul-t is a 'Bias Wrecker' I'm 99% sure that Iseul is just a name for a korean sponsor.
The term Bias is super popular in Kpop/Korean stan culture. Also the publisher is Nexon so no surprise Korean stuff (characters? sponsors?) are featured.
but its also made up
so they could name it whatever easter eggy thing they wanted
Iseul on the site files is named just egg 2 and egg 1 is
so I'm considering them the same (just sponsors). You can even find both pages the same way. There maybe hiding an easter egg in the page/image but Iseul itself I'm almost certain is not an easter egg on their own.
im not saying they are EEs on their own just that they may contribute to the big EE
Fair enough but I would bet on that Iseul has nothing to do with Irish mythology.
So in the teaser they have an [insert coin] screen at the beginning, 16-bit game music in the middle and then what sounds like 16-bit soundbite of laser guns. I wonder if the gold coins in the concepts are actually arcade tokens. 
👀 new EFT game. Coins are currency to play
Pay to play. Outrageous! 
Maybe if we can figure out what game or games those sounds are from that might lead us to a clue
we've seen multiple times that players that die turn into coins so I assume it's just the arcade/arena aesthetic. But I wonder if the gamemode is to collect as many coins or possible or something.
I think I'm parroting Rockhound, but perhaps gaining coins makes you a more valuable target to other players
if the goal is to collect as many coins as possible, then the player with the most coins may be marked.
Fun twist on the 'royale' style of games as the goal is not to survive but to kill and collect
I think warzone had that as a gamemode but it was with stacks of cash
yeah Plunder
The coins kind of look physics based in older gifs.
I would say it is more or less a death animation. Makes it easier to throw into the chinese market
Will they sell the callisto protocol in china?
The death animation can technically serve both gameplay and cosmetic but for now most likely just a death.
Games that depict dead bodies and blood aren't allowed in china so I assume Callisto won't be
Though I believe that won't stop many people using vpns and stuff to play anyway
It's hard to play outside of China for regular Chinese people because the regular ISPs block all VPN access ànd also to access the internet you gotta enterr your social security number so they can track you individually and also if ur young then you only get certain amount of time of internet per day loll
couple of my homies actively vpn all the time to watch twitch and play games with me no stitching though
The government is oppressive but not the techy apparently, it's not that uncommon.
Def, but they can still get into unnecessary trouble
🤫
anyway prob no blood, coins on death and could be a sneaky way to get this game there
No surprise since nexon does have a decent market in china with their games
If a round was timed it would be interesting if you respawn like Battlefield, but the team with the most coins at the end wins - that would make the top team more of a target. Other teams might briefly cooperate to take the top team down, then immediately turn on each other. Lots of interesting tactics and meta could arise.
Yeah it sounds much more interesting than the old 'last team standing let's camp until ring closes' gameplay
Promotes pushing much more
It's a fun theory but there's a missing element since the game is literally called 'The Finals' and about 'Reaching the Finals'
maybe the poorest teams get knocked out of the game show or match
I can see it being a round based game like fall guys
Every round some teams get eliminated and some reach the final round
Could be interesting. I really like fall guys. They will release s2 trailer tomorrow if anyone cares.
Maybe there are 'blinds' like in poker where you get a minimum amount taken off you and if you don't have enough you get knocked out, which would prevent (a lot of) camping
And the blinds could increase cover time
putting the pressure on
These lines originate from Pisa (Galileo birth place) and cross at the upper and lower boundary of Devon. If there is something in Ireland we are looking for (maybe relating to Iseult), then it should be between these lines for a "Devon Crossing" in a cartological sense.
I'm going to try setting up a wiki for all of this in a couple of days
tomorrow a new clue hopefully
tho im terrified to find more numbers before even realising what the current ones mean
hopefully more than just numbers
Here’s a theory I have - it’s interesting that Iseult is called ‘The Bias Wrecker’ and that we, as a community, have already developed a clear bias to Eggward
compared to Iseult. There’s a chance this Easter Egg might include something about Iseult with Ireland being the basis for the Iseult story and our current Pisa-Devon lines on the map. Imagine if the way we “solve” the Easter Egg is to reach a point, as a community, once we know Iseult much better, where we’re asking for Iseult emojis more than OSPUZE emojis? I, for one, now want to know more about our “other” Season 0 sponsor. 
^ actual footage of the Embark team creating these Easter Eggs.
I just hope they put as much effort in the game as they did with this wild goose chase 👀
Crossing my fingers we see some gameplay on the 14th then we can actually know something tangible about what this game is
I hope that too. Goose ->
-> the bias
Where did Iseult come from? I'm out of the loop a little bit
Iseult (), alternatively Isolde (), is the name of several characters in the legend of Tristan and Iseult. The most prominent is Iseult of Ireland, the wife of Mark of Cornwall and the lover of Tristan. Her mother, the queen of Ireland, is also named Iseult. The third is Iseult of the White Hands, the daughter of Hoel of Brittany and the sister ...
A legend dating back to the 12th century.
I mean how is she related to the easter egg?
She breaks my bias 😉
Iseul-t is the second sponsor we know of (next to OSPUZE PROJUICE)
Probably not, people just trying to find whatever clues there is. So some started to discuss https://www.reachthefinals.com/iseul-t
The possible link (currently) is that if you draw a line from Pisa (Galileo’s birth place) to Devon and then extend to further it crosses Ireland, in a path probably not to different from the journey taken in the Tristan and Iseult legend.
Oh, so that's why it came up 🤔 Not bad
It's snowing on the finals leaderboard page for the bot. Any chance that's a clue somehow
As a dnd dm, I just wanna say they may doing what we do, throw out ambiguous hints and let them come up with the most crazy solution to the puzzle. So if we pull some Harold camping level logic, we may be right.
For instance, "The Finals" has 9 letters, so it means there must be something important that comes out in the ninth month, and "T" is the 20th letter in the alphabet, so the gameplay trailer will drop on the 20th.
Wow
I totally think that’s a good approach. Like playing 6 degrees of separation but you don’t know the end point, so you just make it up and see what happens. And if you don’t get it right, eventually another clue will come along (hopefully).
You guys are crazy dedicated to this.
There are prizes if we get it right*
*results may vary
Then let's hope that you are right
Imagine if the playtest starts as soon as we solve it. We’ll be like “why didn’t we think of the answer sooner!”
That would be a cruel but fun Easter egg.
The Battlefield 1 Fort de Vaux Isolement Easter egg gave away the Battlefield V trailer reveal date, and that needed a few clues too. A bit easier to get feedback within a game though.
The only thing we can really do at the moment is put a URL in to see if we find a new page on The Finals site.
Or guess something on here which the devs respond to.
Yeah when you described it in your video it sounded elaborate as hell.
Some are more elaborate than that too!
I feel like there is something that the community has missed.
I know, Battlefield Easter eggs are crazy
I think that’ll probably be the case through the history of this game.
We might find an Easter egg in the teaser in 2 years that we missed.
@pure loom have you done a codesweep of the website to see if there are any hidden buttons?
Or that only makes sense when a new map is released.
I have on /devoncrossing
Used an extension to disable elements, show hidden stuff and whatnot
interesting
Yeah, Duhmeister and I did a bit of that. It feels like it’s verging on cheating though 
We're in that weird middle ground between having not enough people to even begin to solve anything and having way too many
not really.. you are looking for hidden buttons not trying to hack the system
We didn’t find anything. Except a hidden cart page.
I remember when FNAF3 came out it was supposed to take like a week or 3 to figure out how to get the good ending and they figured it out in 3 days.
This can really be the case. They actually have control about it by choosing when to release new concept art with new clues.
Maybe there is something in the first teaser we saw for the game since it had the glitch effect happen a lot or they are hiding it in the music, Idk what it's called but there is a way to hide numbers and letters in music.
and rn we can't solve it because we don't have all the clues we need
I think compared to the BFEE community, we don’t have enough. Not enough random ideas coming up at the moment.
We might have but it would be quite a stretch to do it.
Like guessing 5 degrees of separation in one go.
Hmm
Still worth it though - and fresh paths might appear from the crazy guesses.
any estimation to when new concept art could be released?
I’d expect at least weekly now. Probably more often
Isn’t it weird that Iseul-t has some K-pop feel to it, but also relates to a 12th century Irish legend. That’s a weird combo.
So the lead singer of the cranberries is from Limerick. Their fith studio album is called Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. It came out on October 22nd 2001. The lead single seems to have been Time is Ticking out.
So obviously the release date for the beta is October 22nd
This is a reasonable theory in the grand scheme of things.
Devon Crossing really does line up with the whole Iseul thing if they went all across England to get there instead of sailing from Ireland to Cornwall
I’ve been having the same train of thought. I think it might be because of the characters outfit, the fact it’s ’seul’ in the name and the weird -t
yeah the fact that cornwall, devon, ireland, pisa are all somewhat in the same “line” can’t be a coincidence
I'm hearing the x files song in my head
Oct 22 2001? that's gonna take too long tho :(
@pure loom the video you made for a trailer analysis was amazing man
I expect that if this game succeeds you'll be at the vanguard of content creators and you'll succeed greatly
And then once this is all done rock you should probs make a full video on how we found it or something
I feel like this is a really long and full Easter egg 🍳
could devoncrossing be some sort of social media account, instagram, twitter, tiktok or something?
devon.crossing is an Instagram account of someone named Devon that plays animal crossing
LOL


Aww, thanks for the kind words 
Massive damages case waiting to happen right there 
I followed him and asked him if he knew anything
✨Welcome to Dev Crossing! Here at this cute little corner of YouTube I will be posting all things Animal Crossing!
I am trying to post twice a week and some content you will see is...
- Daily Routines
- Villager Tier Lists
- Top 5's on multiple different categories
- Island remodeling
- Villager hunting
I guess the same person as Insta
Hmm no it’s a different person
Animal crossing 😮
Yes.. this is flawless
I watched that movie again last night - brilliant.
Guys the account messaged me back
He said "Hi there.!..! You found me. Congrats!!.. now all you have to do is... H7##1/, good luck..."
I'm joking btw don't dive into this rabbit hole


Another suspect crossed off the list ✅

Another meta meta game hint!!
This is amazing!!!
Maybe we should look at Cornwall too - because you must cross Devon to get there by land, and the Iseult link to Cornwall?
But isn't it a bit weird to have two counties next to each other? Doesn't seem all that fun and games to me
So it's Knight Tristan from Cornwall going up go Ireland to accompany Iseult and make sure she's safe as she's brought back down to Cornwall to marry the king of Cornwall.
I tried to look at the number clues to see if they could give something else. My thinking was: What if they are both decimal AND hex clues at the same time? 🤔
nor= 49 53 54 52 48 50 49 53
dec= 1 5 6 4 0 2 1 5
hex= I S T R H P I S
nor= 56 54 48 49
dec= 8 6 0 1
hex= V T H I
But IS TR HP IS and VTHI doesn't say much and have had no success googling it, anagraming it or such
IS and TR makes me think of Isolde and Tristan, but other than that 🤷
What do you mean?
i mean the second image with decimal being 8601 kinda confirms we are supposed to look at them as decimal being a date, imho
That it feels a bit bland if the puzzle is about two counties that are next to each other. Instead of more spread out locations
How did we get Cornwall?
Agreed. But my thinking was if there was clues in both the decimal AND hex solves, and not only the decimal one.
Oh I see #easter-eggs message
Oo I’m yellow, does that mean I can post images now?
Yes, congrats 😄
It also means you'll be granted one FREE copy of The Finals at release
I wish
Though sending 2,500 messages allows you to optionally join Embark
Dont you know? It costs 29.85% of your soul..
No, what I was meaning is that “Devon Crossing” could actually be a roundabout way of saying Cornwall - because you must Cross Devon to get to Cornwall (by land). So, maybe it’s about Cornwall, not Devon so much. But then the River Exe and the Red X were a good link for Devon…
Oh, I see. Well that is definitely a more interesting way to think of it 🤔
Then we have Galileo’s birthday, which was pointed to hard by the last clue… where does our telescope-using friend come into it all?
Galileo loved geometry. Maybe we should be looking for triangles instead of an X
Triangulating a location
An X could also represent a telescope focussing light
True
how does it relate to iseult btw
Hi.!
A quick follow up on this bug (we have not really figured it out yet (it’s like an easter egg hunt for us devs.!))… When we hide some objects in the level with a specific shader, it looks like some of the rendering features are still being rendered. We have some ideas and hopefully we will solve this tomorrow… (and now I’m pretty sure some of the super sharp rendering engineers are laughing at me, hehe)
It's 3:30p here but I believe it is MUCH later in the evening where they are.
Since it is 21:30 (9:30 pm) here in Sweden… ._.
Let our friend Rob rest 😴
Oh to be snoozin
this is where the Real Wooper ™️ and I differ.
I love to sleep.

THANK YOU
I thought that rob was basically teasing that he'll have to fix it tomorrow because... 👀

so you're just going to ignore the binary in his messages....
it seems he does that every time and at this point it’s probably meaningless
I don't mean to stress you out, just teasing to keep the easter egghunt alive 😉
The more I look at the teaser the more it feels like the perspective of the viewer is from inside an arcade cabinet
There is an island that is part of Devon
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lundy
Lundy is an English island in the Bristol Channel. It forms part of the district of Torridge in the county of Devon.
About 3 miles (5 kilometres) long and 5⁄8 mi (1 km) wide, Lundy has had a long and turbulent history, frequently changing hands between the British crown and various usurpers. In the 1920s, one self-proclaimed king, Martin Harman,...
A man names Martin Harman once declared himself king of Lundy Island and minted a currency of coins called Puffins
This is best thing I've learned all year
If muffins were currency I would be homeless
Because tomorrow is the
Release date for the 2nd DLC for THE FINALS
Lol
What?
We should probably leave this channel to Easter eggs
How do you change name Color
He has a meme role
Egg Crackers role when
That would be cool
What would they do
Crack eggs
Boiled eggs
easter eggs lol
Scramble eggs
Oh
Deviled eggs
Duheggs
Egg sandwich
egg salad yum
That's some good shit

That emote
nitro
I like eggs Benny
You need to get out more 
but there's normies out there
🤣
11m 15s hard boiled eggs are great too
Wdym
You keep it boiling for 11m 15s
Yeah but why
Nice
trash panda vs red panda
I opened a newspaper where I was eating lunch. This was in the travel section 
👀
When I hear of Cornwall I immediately think of Daphne du Maurier and Poldark
have we seen this symbol before?
https://www.google.com/local/place/fid/0x486c4be2b10af0b5:0xbea09f5b48205819/photosphere?iu=https://streetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com/v1/thumbnail?panoid%3DYU16kNMXX3Ung2BgMkGIUw%26cb_client%3Dlu.gallery.gps%26w%3D160%26h%3D106%26yaw%3D172.59673%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100&ik=CAISFllVMTZrTk1YWDNVbmcyQmdNa0dJVXc%3D&safe=active
see if that link works but this should be the “crossing” of devon and cornwall
and the eggesford crossing cafe that someone found a while back is there too
The codename of the station is literally "EGG"
I have no idea what it has to do with the game other than the EGG though
its gotta be connected
river Tamar and bridge Polson are both connecting Devon and Cornwall as well
well apart from that, from their last announcement, they mentioned OSPUZE in randomly
I wonder if that's something to catch on to
Before that tho, @tawdry jungle sorry for the ping, but I need to clarify: do you work at Embark? and also, is that message in bold something you wrote or was that an embark thing?
Wait how did Cornwall come to equation? I know it's close to Devon but
there was a text somewhere official which mentioned Devon, Mr. Crossing, Cornwall and Galileo
Mr. Crossing 🤔
It was the family last name
😮
ayo?
three monstrous creatures
found in three eggs
bought in Exeter
Exeter its Devon right?
Yes
There were three eggs in the artwork 🤔
Devon
Exeter
Cornwall
Iseult
Crossing
Galileo
Eggs
Tristan
and then Pisa and Ireland talks by us
this all has to be connected somehow
ikr lol
it's crazy
I bet the person who made this easter egg is the same person who placed a button inside a tree trunk in DICE LA camo easter egg
hahaha
still looking at what 1400x787 means
i still think that has something to do with all this
theres a lot of references to year 1787 in the text
and three references to year 1400 in the text too
where is that from?
o
so one of the older concept art in their google drive was 1920x1080 but then Rob Runesson trashed it and replaced it with a replica (well, to the naked eye) that had a weird resolution of 1400x787
for me that made no logical sense to do that for anything but to add it as a hint towards an easter egg
since all their other images in the drive have a consistent resolution and their gifs also follow a squad/landscape resolutionb
intruiging
nothing came from it tho so far haha
I suggested Devon Crossing could be a roundabout way of saying Cornwall because you must cross Devon to get to Cornwall by land.
this is tough ;-;
Yes, we should be prepared for the puzzle-type Easter Eggs from these guys to be very difficult.
Yeah for sure
It's my first time doing this kind of stuff so I dunno what's right and what's wrong but I think that's just the nature of it and most of us are experience that way too I'm sure
gmorning
🤞
There's not too many 'rules' around these kind of Easter eggs - data mining is, generally, frowned upon because it potentially spoils the Easter Egg and circumvents the whole point of it - so, the info that was gained from the meta data in the samurai image was right on the edge of that, I guess. But then it looks like Embark won't that mistake again. Otherwise, the more wild the guess and links you come up with the better, I reckon. The Embark team have probably gone waaay deeper with this than we might even guess at. Think of it as playing 6 degrees of separation without knowing one end of the separation - so you can just select a bunch of linked things that relate to the clues we have and you might be right. Generally, if clues are given they'll help the community overcome one of the links that they are stuck with. That's about all I can offer from my Battlefield easter egg experiences and knowing these guys were behind many of those.
Thanks for the insight regards to the older BFEE stuff 
Yeah as you said there's gonna be a lot of guesses and a lot of links to be made here and there but damn it's a little terrifying to think what if we're not even scratching the surface of this EE?
What had been the most useful stuff to do in your BFEE experience as an individual/group?
As far as what you get for completing it - once the game is up and running it could be some sort of status (like dog tags in BF). But at this stage it's more likely to be some kind of info - like another sponsor, or more info about the current ones, or confirmation of the playtest start date - that sort of thing.
Think laterally.
I agree totally. The BFEE community is pretty big and full of people that can decipher morse and stuff like that at the drop of a hat. More people will help. These easter eggs will probably teach you quite a bit. Like the Iseult legend for instance.
And don't dismiss any ideas (within reason). Someone spotted the Galileo birthday thing the other day, but we didn't run with it hard enough.
Coincidences are often not just coincidences in this sort of thing.
Oh yeah for sure
I whole-heartedly regret being one of those people who thought it was just a pure coincidence
But then quickly realized that there will be thousands of coincidences while searching
And it’s ok to many paths being explored at once - the 6 degrees of separation might have multiple correct ways to get there
At the moment, I can’t really think of any other “answer” we could come up with other than a new URL extension on The Finals website which reveals something, unless it’s something the Embark team do manually when we get the answer.
I’m currently reading this and wondering how it might relate to wrecking balls: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo's_Leaning_Tower_of_Pisa_experiment
Yes, but a decent fable. Interesting that Galileo had 3 children (all outside marriage), and one of them changed her name to Suor Maria Celeste - makes me wonder where the name for Celeste from ARC Raiders comes from.
Oh, on a completely different tangent - The Bias Wrecker has usage when talking about K-Pop bands and there is a K-pop star called Iseul!
hey just wanted to let you know that this is the 'railway' symbol in Britain
"British Rail Double Arrow"
ah ic lmao
Specifically overground station/national rail
A place maybe worth investigating
Named after a "crossing" (a bridge).
I like this, it has a good feeling to it.
Welcome to the UK
last tweet with concept art was 4 days ago, the Slash was tweeted 8 days ago.. maybe today new clue?
They're always abstract about this stuff
I wonder what X really means
That’ll be an Xtra long time until we know the answer 
Or maybe that’s an EGGS-tra long time 
well more stuff to dig into it
It's here
You ready?
Time to learn!

its go time
gl
i see a katana and im happy now
actually there is a grip I think
OSPUZE BEANS!!!
can someone use that rainbow filter? It worked well last time
thanks
Yes
Although I couldn't see anything at first glance
welp im in uni so
rip for 5hrs lmfao
at this point im rethinking what this game is actually about
exciting
This is Moneyrain and Iseul-t again, isn't it?
Hmm maybe
hey guys
hard to say
it's that hex code on the red barrel?
Dusty shared a better version #🎨┇off-topic-art message
whats it say
D02F
oh right
The barrel says Flammable Liquid 002f, i believe
I'm sure thats 002F not D02F
Dusty's png version has this string <rdf:li photoshop:LayerName="Hi there.!" photoshop:LayerText="Nothing to see here, we promise.! <3"/> </rdf:Bag>
dont check those, they're not what we're supposed to be looking at
they want us to look at only what's provided
I know, but it's still fun 😄
lol ytu
yeah i noticed that too XD
ive found those kinda of things in many other concept arts
These lines look unusual
try to up the contrast
The angle on the barrel is bad
002F is unicode for a "/"!!!
🤔
Also, fwiwthe png of the image is called BarrelsBarrelsBarrels
flammableliquid goes to the 404
There are 5 in the picture
Great find, i went too hard and started looking up what kind of flammable liquid type 002f might be
5? I see 4 - am I blind? 
Yes
Is this readable at all?
angle is off
Is this better? It looks like its been rubbed out lol
Oh, I am blind - I had the right hand edge of the image off the screen! 
hmmmm
could be anything tbh
its like an ascending order small to big eggs
just liek..
There is a / but what could lead to what comes after that 🤔
og beans
The next one will say "you don't learn do you?"
hahah
What would happen if you did 2 slashes into the url?
Barrels are core gameplay, id guess. But it's something with the naming 🤔
it doenst register
LOL
hullo
Does anyone else see a number here or am I mad?
A standard 205-litre (55 US or 44 imp gal) drum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_(container))
I can put so much milk or blood in that
205 x 5 = 1025
I see 23 or 33 or something and then a little ps in the top right
explosive symbol in helmet
Can you provide where it's located, so i can zoom in on my own picture?
Not seeing anything special 🤔
14 lines!
Looks like a C on this "cap"
Oh yeah
BarrelsBarrelsBarrels = 3B = Converts to ';' if that means anything
The barrels in the image have those extra 3 ribs near the top and bottom. Unusual.
try to also look at the image upside down or at an angle
sometimes you find some obvious stuff
I think they come in different shapes, on this site they have the ribbings https://www.oshaoutreachcourses.com/blog/flammable-liquids-handling-and-storage/
Excellent - cross that one off the list!
this one looks closest
At this stage, aside from the URL symbol in unicode, I'm really interested in the sun beams on the left - they look morse-y or binary-y 
yeah ive been trying to figure that out too,
they look a lil normalish to me at the same time but cuuld be diff
My eye got caught on this scabbed paint immediately
But can't zoom in enough for it to actually form any kind of pattern
Yeah, I'm not seeing too much here that's obvious
okay
@sterile depot
I know I said this before but these numbers have 100% been blurred out for whatever reason
I see it as well 🤔
or 20 idk
yes, like that
Huh
thanks @mortal ivy for helping 
@prisma stump The C i posted earlier
My pleasure 😌
Ah, my bad
CO2, are we going into chemistry now?
Why wouldn't it be the sky?
You are right. That is purposely put there. The other visible drums have no text next to the big cap and from googling it no real barrel has it as well
whats this ?
Glad I found something haha
Looks like a painted wall
Like a plaster covered fence
maybe the arena boundary fence
@hardy eagle sent me this image with the text "It might be a reach, but it could possibly be a 04 here"
Someone's throwing barrels from the background
Numerous safety regulations being broken here
looks like a shadow on the sky
nice
I messed with the colour channels a bit
@molten wedge I flipped the image on it 90 degrees (so the barrel is standing up)
My wife guessed it's the numbers 1 2 5 or 1 2 6.
Agree, it looks a bit too bent to be a 5
I spilled my juice on it /j
"/j"?!
I'm not sure if you don't know it's tone tag, but it means joking! I had no hand in making this image so it's safe from juice crimes.....for now
I'm gonna have some breakfast and will be back in a bit, but here's the image inverted and inverted for you
no worries! Tone tags are very useful for online discussion when tone is hard to read through text.
so brief lesson would be
/j = joking
/s = sarcasm
Haha imagine not knowing tone tags! /s
People cant read my sarcasm in real life let alone in text 🥲
Well now in text you have a handy way of indicating it!
And next time, irl, just say "S!" after being sarcastic. Works like a charm all the time, zero percent of the time
Will do! 
ELA version from fotoforensics.com - Not that it seems like anything special
yo, if the trailer is really tomorrow, are we meant to solve this puzzle in like less than 24 hours?
Same x2, i need some high octane gameplay and ok sized maps, no 10km stuff haha
Imagine if there is actually nothing in this new image xD
Possible but uncool, with an ongoing easter egg hunt and all 😂 And that the layer text says "Nothing to see here, we promise.!"
POntential binary code maybe?
Can someone catch me up
There is like nothing to catch up on haha
We found a few things but not really anything of significance
There has been no real progress since iso8601 was confirmed
Just wild guesses and a lot of squinting
not sure if this is common knowledge, but https://www.reachthefinals.com/galileo leads to a red x page, which 100% confirms galileo imo
Anyone know what this is?
Chinese?
Maybe
That is new! I've checked that url multiple times and it has only given a 404 in the past
@ Embark, don't go an efterkonstruera our clues!
weirddd
Indeed it is new
Yup same
Same
Yep, i did as well. Galileo didn't show up as a search result either
Dev typing 🤫
You scared him away 

yeah
That's interesting!
Rob was gonna apologize or something, but they changed their mind 😦
If you mix the same image, flipped horizontally this appears in the middle, not sure if it is something
the forbidden X
They gave up again 
@slender lodge Great thinking 🤔 Maybe they want to tell us that both devoncrossing and galileo are false paths and that we are stupid for trying to make our heads go through a solid wall
i think we are wrong
Now thats concept art
the barrel leg
Well he stopped typing.. Whats next?
or maybe that are 2 important points
we go rescue him
Woowoo
Rob the neverending typer
We are atleast 100% sure that *devon * + *crossing * is right. The binary checks out and from the beginning the layer text said it as well
it should have worked since we posted that clue...
😦
By god Rob actually said something
he types with one hand
you cant see but he's making an easter egg with the other hand as we speak
If you flick between the two pages (Devon Crossing X and Galileo X) they are the same X
maybe those are two points on the map
maybe we're looking for a checkmark ✅
XD
Then Embark legally needs to stop 🛑
we just cant go wrong anymore
I think the devon cross is to mark the railway that the HYPETRAIN IS COMING OVER CHOOCHOO
I worked it out
doesn't x also "mark the spot" sometimes?
So, with a X for Devon Crossing and one for Galileo, the X's almost act as a check mark to say "clue completed"
if you spell with capital G it doesnt load
also with the search that makes no sense
You have to have a lower case "g"
exactly, i didnt have that so page didnt load, what did others test from 10th sept?
i tried https://www.reachthefinals.com/Galileo yesterday lol
maybe if you had history on worth checking
Weirdly on the search I used lowercase and it didnt find anything on the 10th
today it does ofc
Yeah I just opened my history and I had searched for this 2 days ago but I remember nothing showed up but now if I open the link it does
wait what
you were only able to search with 3 letters
now u can with 2???
doenst allow me
hax
Now its not working
lmfao
If you type the search into the URL it works with 2 letters
It even works with one letter
Yea, you are right. Haha, it overrides the minimum 3 character
Time to try the alphabet haha
same, that was from 3 days ago and gave zero results
just "t" comes up with ISEUL-T which I know isnt anything new just kinda interesting how 1 letter finds that lol
ayo
Welp, I just tried every letter in the english alphabet
nothing with 1 or 2 characters
yeah
Well the strange thing is just the letter t comes up with ISEUL-T
maybe bc "t" its like a word
unlike the URL, this doenst have to be case sensitive
Wow ok
Unlike /Galileo, https://www.reachthefinals.com/Devoncrossing actually works and redirects to lowercase d
nvm
Was just my cache
😆
I copied and pasted the 2 crosses and they are exactly the same down to the pixel
nicee
Random worthless info
ok so are we saying that the clue today was the / 002F on the barrel, and thats to check the website
Flammable??
Maybe we burn the cross
U+002F is the unicode hex value of the character Solidus. Char U+002F, Encodings, HTML Entitys:/,/,/, UTF-8 (hex), UTF-16 (hex), UTF-32 (hex)
In devon
thats the only clue right?
I swear I can see the letter x and some others on one of the barrels but I was called insane by my friend lol
And maybe the 14 lines on the sword handle re-confirming the 14th for the trailer
Hopefully
37min to 14th 👀
in Spain
1 hour and 36 minutes in Scotland
if we don't get the trailer
then it'll be spain without the s
Damn straight
35min in Sweden. But I don't think they'll drop it at midnight 😂
Too late, can't even tell the clock 😅
We can pray
do you think there is a 'X' for each statue of the wallpapers?
Btw, on Slash's facemask it seems like it spells out OGU or 060
Maybe bgu?
on both sides i think
Yea, it's on both sides, so probably just ornamental
guys, i took art in elementary school. let me tell you the meaning behind this new concept art picture we got:
- the guy with the rifle is old and bland, we'll call him Darrel, Darrel is a representation of former (unmentionable) games. while we all love them they are dated and old.
- the ninja is the counter to Darrel, he is lively and active jumping, literally leaping over the Darrel the battlefield guy. this means that The Finals is going to blow our expectations away and bring a new life to FPS games.
- now the barrels are an inside reference to BFEE and the A Beginning easter egg. at the beginning it said "message corrupted..." then people got real messages after an update. Barrel was in a message and it became Darrel. So the Barrels piling on Darrel in the image mean that we can expect way more easter eggs from The Finals and they will be greater than what our old friend Darrel ever saw.
trust me i was trained din art in elementary school. haha
i trust
I trsut
blue means that he is depressed, so i agree with your analysis
That explains why Im blue
The person that mis-translated still uses Darrel as his name now ahaha
Guys have we found anything from the new concept art so tar
Fat
Far
Apart from the /
Nothing yet, apart from those 14 lines on the katana handle (~14th Sept trailer).
:0 oh I didn't know that
What else was confirming the 14th sep trailer thing
I remember u had it in one of ur vids
The 14 gold stars on the coins in the teaser, and the muffled audio which sounds like it says "14th of September"
NEW LINK FOUND https://www.reachthefinals.com/cart
This was known when the website appeared. It remains unchanged since then.
oh frfr?
It was discovered along with the OSPUZE and iseul-t pages
How odd lol
Yeah 100% sense
Maybe we have to guess what type of flammable liquid is in the barrels?
Could be something as simple and common as gasoline
Wait so there's 44 urls??
Dear god
maybe something in the periodic table? using the letters for an element or compound?
it does say that
Yes, which is unicode for a /
that seems really familiar
wasn't there also a 007something in that other tease
long ago
probably unrelated
yeah
yes, the number plate on the motorbike in the very first teaser
0074
okay unrelated then
it was 0074???
there was a / in the previous teaser too, no?
OSP UZE beans?
directly using 007 might have been a bit marginal for trademarks
BEANS
okay my Gfuel theory is out of the window
Gamer Beans
Haha
OG Beans is an anagram for "nosebag" - which, unfortunately, isn't the URL
looks red to me
yes, lens flare is yellow + maybe lower explosion
no way
maybe red
It's not yellow
but definitely not blue
No it's red for sure
dont make me color pick in photoshop
go for it

I think it's red
i will sell my other kidney if it isnt red
Cool
Idek what you guys are doing I just hopped on to say I think it's red
Same
Just looks like the yellow object behind the camera being reflected to me
like it is on the end of this barrel
Could the position of these holes in the barrels represent numbers, like on a clock, for instance?
I just can't help but admire the photorealism of their concept art
somebody is playing
its me
Normally at this time there is no one
👀 totally not me
they are playing because the game is releasing tomorrow (hopefully)
hopefully
what are the major finds from this new art? ive been out of the loop
The420 ?
thats crazy
wait hold up
never seen that one before
uh
wait
so basically
that definitely says september 14th at the bottom
YO??
maybe its scheduled to go live then
you got a notification from squarespace because all the pictures used on the website are from squarespace
yeah that's the exact gmt time
ik
lol rip
he had me hyped for a second
maybe a squarespace error or maybe a sign the website pushed an update
Oo
I'm just coping of course, no clue. errors do happen
no one has found anything from the newest art
any 14s in the new art?
except beans
or 14 of something
wdym?
SAME
i got that just now but now is different
interesting
