aight bro stop it

level farming is idiotic, at least just ask a question or something

[frank current]

Ah right. So what if CNS is a part of the original code that mitigated how much the game was played or something so that the meatspace didn't spiral into chaos? Then hackers brought that code back to life, and then Vaiiya deploys real life countermeasures against CNS, not knowing that it was orginally part of the game. That would explain CNS coming back after Vaiiya destroyed them 🤷‍♂️

[lone skiff]

Thats an interesting idea

Its kind of similar to the theory I had about CNS being the first AI of the finals, but they tried to shut it down so it escaped.

[sour dove]

yo

..

[lone skiff]

Yo

[lean path]

I’ve seen the S lies thing before, but I was never sure who S was referring to. What makes you think it’s Sofia Petronelle?

[delicate flame]

you copied this from someone else

[delicate flame]

this image

[sour dove]

yo

[delicate flame]

and osp is the one of the only sponsors that has a CEO with S as there first initial

[lean path]

Okay, thanks, I hadn’t seen that image before

I thought there was a chance it could have been referring to Sal Scoria

[white sundial]

really?

[delicate flame]

apart from the vaiiya ceo

also

this image is new and the ranzio sponsor is still there

[lone skiff]

that image

[lusty siren]

There is also a photo of Sofia holding a can of ospuze and in red graffiti it says “liar” I’ll try to find it

CNS member 4RCU5 posted it

https://www.thefinals.wiki/w/index.php?curid=7901

[lone skiff]

bro got caught red handed

[delicate flame]

i i posted it here already replying to them

[delicate flame]

i only know since the first message was replying tio me

[lone skiff]

These lower levels man, think they can get away with anything. Oh wait uhh.. no offense.

[delicate flame]

I'm at least active in this chat

[lone skiff]

It was a joke bro lol

[delicate flame]

i saw a theory where cns is the original owners of the finals, they said that cns said that they are gonna take back what's theirs and a cns hoodie has a date of 1980 and the finals was created in 1983

[small pasture]

Thanks so much @lone skiff!

Is it alright if I may friend you?

[lone skiff]

Sure

[lone skiff]

Yw

Let me know if there's anything else you would like to know!

[autumn sigil]

l o r e huh

[lone skiff]

indeed lore

[small pasture]

Thanks!!!!

[wet horizon]

Does anyone know what type of tech Volpe makes for VR? Do they produce sophisticated VR headsets, or like Holographic tech? I’m really interested because I’ve always found the games VR concept intriguing.

[tight tree]

i wonder who the yellow girl is?

[delicate flame]

who?

thats very vaige

[tight tree]

the yellow one??

[delicate flame]

that isnt discriptive at all

yellow is a very common color its literally on most of the clothing in the game

[tight tree]

my girl is yellow, whats up with that?

[delicate flame]

maybe provided a photo

and dont be vaige

[tight tree]

i cant. duhhh

[delicate flame]

then how the hell can we know who your talking about when all you ahve said is yellow girl

[delicate flame]

maybe ready player onme stuff

[tight tree]

uhh, thats why im asking. if you dont know then keep walking, bud.

[delicate flame]

your asking a question that is VERY vaige and isnt discriptive

all its stating is 2 very common things

[tight tree]

bro just chill

[lone skiff]

buddy, yellow one is not descriptive

[delicate flame]

you cant provide basic info 😭

[lone skiff]

im backing loki up on this one

[tight tree]

lol okay maybe if you stop cluttering the chat someone that knows what im talking about will see it

[delicate flame]

thats what im saying

[delicate flame]

nobody will know because you can provide detail

[lone skiff]

bro maybe if you shut up and give us more descriptors we can tell you

[delicate flame]

one of the main colors in the game is yellow

[tight tree]

she has the yellow clothes, long hair, boots

[lone skiff]

is this a CEO?

[tight tree]

idk she looks medium class

[delicate flame]

this is one of the only women that is heavily assciated with yellow

[delicate flame]

i was looking at that also but they said long hair and boots

[lone skiff]

this is the only other person i can think about

[tight tree]

kinda like the bottom one, except long hair too

and less ginger

[lone skiff]

sorry there isnt anyone like that

[delicate flame]

someone probably made it

[lone skiff]

are you talking about some random cosmetic set?

[tight tree]

bro im looking at her

[delicate flame]

then show us

[delicate flame]

cant show a photo but your looking at it

[lone skiff]

why would you try to describe her when you have a fucking picture

[delicate flame]

that is dense logic lmao

[tight tree]

i cant post pictures for some reason

[delicate flame]

use a diffrent channel

[lone skiff]

just DM it to me then

[tight tree]

ew

[lone skiff]

i dont fucking care bro im going to delete the dm after anyways

im trying to help

[tight tree]

well that makes me want to send it less

[lone skiff]

alright have fun

[delicate flame]

you want help finding something but your being dense and not cooperating

[tight tree]

i wonder who the yellow girl is?

[lone skiff]

FUCKING DESCRIBE HER

[tight tree]

leave me alone weirdo

[delicate flame]

you wonder that but wont show us a photo

[lone skiff]

this dude is ragebaiting

[delicate flame]

stg

[lone skiff]

100%

[tight tree]

okay im just curious

yall came at me

to everyone except those two:
i wonder who the yellow girl is?

[delicate flame]

exp farming </3

[tight tree]

i had a bad game

[lone skiff]

tells us a lot about your personality

[tight tree]

judging me for a question...

[lone skiff]

next you're going to ask to see the manager

[tight tree]

na i dont want to see an admin rn

[lean monolith]

lol this ragebait is hillarious xd

[delicate flame]

if you look at his messages its mostly random stuff and nothing serious

[lone skiff]

whats this? a new person with an actually based opinion? finally.

[delicate flame]

like him i also like yellow woman

[lone skiff]

fr

[lean monolith]

idk im lookin at her xd

[delicate flame]

whats yall opinon on this one though

[lone skiff]

honestly some of it makes sense, but at the same time it doesent. i dont think we have enough evidence for this one

[lean monolith]

interesting but i dont think that's the case, at least i hope it isnt

[delicate flame]

that is true, its not a bad thought since it seems like CNS is older then the game show

based off of the hoodie that has the 1980 date

[dusk widget]

True lol

[mental berry]

What do we know about the South Atlantic Landfill?

[lean monolith]

Only that the fruit that grows there gives you UPGRADES wink wink

[delicate flame]

big landfill and trentilla grows the tiger fruit There are

[nocturne turtle]

i wonder if that fruit can only grow there or if trentila uses it bcs it's probably cheap land

[delicate flame]

Their entire goal is to use trash to grow fruit

that's what the company does

[white tangle]

A lore section for the game interesting...

Yeah it's definitely just a part of the matrix.

[dusk widget]

Ohh i see

[hoary mantle]

this one's a mouse? i thought it was like a chihuahua

[hybrid helm]

Thought its a rabbit

[granite sigil]

Arc raiders?

[frank current]

If anybody was watching the end of the Closed Qualifiers stream and saw the CNS broadcast (probably more of an interference thing), did that audio sound like it could be something? I know in a lot of ARGs there are messages and codes hidden in otherwise unintelligible audio.

[dense leaf]

apparently it wasn't anything important.

[lone skiff]

[native tendon]

of course

[iron hatch]

seems this msg is xp farming

[livid glen]

Do we know what cns stands for or have any clues?

Just curious cause I was listening to the divide and it seems to allude a name being the source code. Could CNS have something to do with the origin of the finals?

[lone skiff]

it possibly stands for Central Nervous System. We still don't really know though

[lone skiff]

several people have theorized about this yes, some people think that CNS was the original creator of the finals and it was stolen/taken over, and some people think that CNS could be an old AI that was replaced by the current finals AI.

[livid glen]

I see. So we know it was replaced. We don't know what it is or why. Any theories on the why?

[lone skiff]

we don't know it was replaced, it's just a theory i had because the current finals AI got really restless and upset when VAIIYA did a hard reset. so, i thought that this could have happened before but maybe the AI tried to escape instead of letting them reset it.

[livid glen]

If cns is central nervous system, it would be really crazy how it was replaced

[livid glen]

What do we know about VAIIYA propaganda?

[lone skiff]

in that context, Central Nervous System wouldnt literally mean the nervous system of a human body, but instead the thing that surveys and controls the finals

[lone skiff]

not too too much, we know they want people to get their brain chip that they say will "remove third party influences from your mind", however it it known from reports in the three frogs poem that the brain chips can malfunction and remove all your motor and mental functions. so, not only does the device preserve your free will, but it can very easily take it all away. Concerning the Robots that they make, i don't actually know if there is any propaganda other than the fact that they want you to basically join the machine, which makes sense given that their CEO (sal scoria) is an AI.

[livid glen]

Idk it sounds like VAIIYA is replacing the human CNS here in your second response

It could make the story a lot more interpersonal

[lone skiff]

[paper canyon]

[granite sigil]

Everyone knows it’s charge n slam

[hollow shoal]

Was Scotty ever a contestant?

[lone skiff]

Yes

[granite sigil]

I swear he says that in every match lol

[lone skiff]

Yeah its mentioned a fair bit by the commentators, there's also an achievement called "just like scotty"

[keen summit]

Its implied he was a heavy

[delicate flame]

he was a heavy i think

[delicate flame]

and marcel calls him big boy

[hollow shoal]

Who’s Marcel?

[delicate flame]

hes a multico rep

"MultiCo later sent representative Marcel (nicknamed "Merciless Marcel") to speak directly to the sponsors of THE FINALS and reduce the focus on some of CNS's changes, instead putting more of the spotlight on the sponsors themselves."

[livid glen]

I'm going to cry if VAIIYA removes RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAHHH

[livid glen]

I genuinely find this too funny lmao

[dusk widget]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[lunar warren]

Can someone explain the basics of the lore for someone who knows nothing

[dusk widget]

Lore..... It means learning and knowing the foundation stones of this beautiful game

[lunar warren]

Yes, like the story behind it I mean, I know its like people compete in a simulation but other than that thats it

[foggy saffron]

This game has lore? 😅

[wild rivet]

I was messing around in practice range using a glitch grenade on the dummies and one of them said "They glitched my screen." pretty cool considering we're just people in a VR world. couldn't get them to say it again.

[hidden coyote]

yo

[gentle bronze]

Bruh I’m just thinking of it now but the finals/Ark raiders from what I see is just a bad ending of ready player one very peak non the less

[native ore]

Scotty was a contestant when the finals was still a real life event was he not?

[celest current]

nice

[strong plinth]

Has anyone put together a compilation of Scotty and Junes pre-match dialogues yet? I looked on YouTube and couldn’t find a good one

[empty timber]

i think there is.

[quartz island]

Real Life Event? I don’t think The Finals was a real combat sport. It’s always been virtual

the lead aspect is probably just referring to the blade

[fossil shadow]

yeah I'm aware its most likely not Lore lore especially since another trentila skin is most likely to be a gun

[delicate flame]

the finals isn't on anything it's virtual

aliens only visit digital space

[lone skiff]

Chat I need the ospuze

[foggy saffron]

co-founder of pxl. was streaming today I believe, he was talking about the company and this collab/partnership.

From what I gathered, the drink is awailable in Sweden atm through pxl. and they have been working with Embark to put it on https://merch.reachthefinals.com for a while now, so its coming there "soon" and then should be shippable pretty much "worldwide" like the other merch. Except its a beverage so there might be some other kinks.. I could be wrong, thats what I understood so far

[lone skiff]

Yeah thats exactly what i thought it would be.

[foggy saffron]

Upon review it was the technicial foul one, I don't know if it's me but the linked clip has CRAZY static, I have a higher quality version of it if anyone wants.

[fast yarrow]

pretty sure it wasn't always like that

[rain umbra]

It's interesting that it seems to me there is two narratives going on with Scotty's background as a player.

1. He was extremely successful, one of the greatest and retired to being an announcer. (Evidenced by achievements like "Just like Scotty", Scotty's to-do list and more)

2. He may not have been as successful as let on. (Pre game dialogues, June Dialogue, and more.)

It's interesting to say the least.

[pure hound]

Is there any reason for CNS to be so flashy? Like, why do they act like absolute chads and do everything with a specific glitch style when they're just hackers. They could realistically get everything done with less effort by just doing what they do without the whole glitch thematic. What's their incentive??

[zinc patrol]

They HAVE to catch the attention of the public if they want to succeed on disrupting The Finals
Think of it this way: The Finals is a gameshow, right? If you want to be seen in the spectacle, you better BE the spectacle

[west nimbus]

how do you think that Embark is gonna tie both The Finals and Arc Raiders

[glacial sapphire]

Checks out

[delicate flame]

IF they do connect them they are set very far apart in time and will involve the sponsors

[west nimbus]

yeah, personally I think it might be staged like The Hunger Games. The sponsors and the contestants are kinda high class while the raiders are salvaging what’s left of the real world

[delicate flame]

there will be no contestants in arc

from how Italy looks in arc the entire world most likely went to shit

and arc is roaming the entire planet

[west nimbus]

ah

[delicate flame]

so something might cause the sponsors to ACTUALLY fight since Im the finals it's all for show

[west nimbus]

probably, I guess we will have to see when it fully releases

[lone skiff]

They might not, infact i think and hope they wont

[delicate flame]

why do you hope they dont

but there is a new image and they kept a sponsor from the finals in it

[solar hatch]

Hi guys

[steady urchin]

guys do you like femboys

[delicate flame]

why are you asking that here </3

[steady urchin]

why not

im just wonna to know

[pure hound]

Wild bro

[frozen harness]

what if i am a femboy?

[pure hound]

That's fair enough, but if they have the skills to hack the worlds largest game show why are they doing allat? Like, couldn't they sell everyone's data and just destroy the servers from the inside

[delicate flame]

part of the reason they were able to hack it in season 8 was because Multico let them

[brittle sequoia]

its vital to the lore i assure you

[heady igloo]

lore

[pure hound]

Why would they do this? Is multico completely stupid? If they wanted the buzz and engagement a hacker team brought to the finals they could have made a fake hacker team and acted like they got hacked instead of accepting all the risks that come with a literal external force having access to your system. Like, we know that CNS isn't malicious and wants to expose the sponsor's lies or whatever; but that's directly against Multico's interests. Even if the fans wanted specifically CNS back, they could have made a fake CNS hack happen instead of leting the actual organisation hack them.

[gentle bronze]

[lone skiff]

Smh

Shut up

[gentle bronze]

Is holtov is like anti cns right?

[sly wing]

vaiiya

[gentle bronze]

Ik that vaiiya is anti cns

Just wanna know if holtow is as well

If trentila is then ima be sad

[sly wing]

all sponsors, in theory and as far as we know, "anti-cns". the only people we know who want cns to hack the gameshow but not TOO much is multico. they use cns to boost ratings and viewers for more money.

at some point multico steps in, says its enough, and gets vaiiya to reset the gameshow

but this season they didnt reset anything or get rid of cns, they just took them out the spotlight with the esports major and got all eyes on them

cns will appear again

but idk maybe some sponsors support their actions. ospuze/vaiiya hating them the most, and holtow might do some cns hack insurance thing in the future :) my theory at least

[frozen perch]

What is cns??

[sly wing]

huge hacker or hacking group that manipulates the finals gameshow. i wont explain everything here so watch this video. the video is out of date but his channel sums up a lot about the finals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfol_hZ9DA8

the core parts of it basically, how it works, the sponsors, etc.

[sly wing]

https://www.reddit.com/r/cns cns reddit that teased a lot of things too

[gentle bronze]

can you send? I cant find it

[delicate flame]

every sponsor is considering most of them are owned by multico

[gentle bronze]

;w;

Wait so that means trentila is as well??

[delicate flame]

im guessing they are since the fruit they grow is used to make ospuzes tiger drink

my personal opinion is that scotty wasent actually that great and poched off someone esle's success or used money to gain fame.

thats why he doesent want to play again

Maybe, but what about the achievement that says "just like scotty" when you win a match with no deaths? How could you realistically fake that?

[lone skiff]

i think they say he did that, but never really did. its also said he holds the record for most deaths in a match

or if he did do it it was a fluke

[pure hound]

I mean wouldn't that kinda stuff be documented? I'd assume the finals has clips and stuff people review like football matches.

[lone skiff]

probably, but this is multico we're talking about. it seems right up their alley to delete footage and lie about something to protect the reputation of someone financially close to them

[pure hound]

and like for someone to be as renowned as Scotty to be able to boast that much and not be called out for BS is pretty solid proof that he's not cheating or anything

[pure hound]

Maybe, but maybe it's also that you have to physically move around to perform actions in the finals (think like ready player one) and Scotty is just old

He doesn't wanna straight up say that he's washed up and old so maybe he just avoids it

[lone skiff]

thats another intereting theory

[pure hound]

I mean he sounds pretty middle aged

also wasn't there a theory that June is just an AI?

[lone skiff]

yeah but it got debunked i think by embark, that both the commentators are human.

i'm not confident on that though

[pure hound]

that's good, it ruins a lot of the charm is June was AI. I think this came from the fact we never see her speak "in person"? (as in, we see scotty speaking in a room but June is always on a call somewhere else)

also, is the VAIIYA ceo an AI or like a human that uploaded his consciousness?

[lone skiff]

i belive that the ceo is an AI yes

stupid clanker

[pure hound]

Guys, how do you imagine your contestant in the meatspace?

[delicate flame]

[gentle bronze]

Could have hidden the entire game, or leeched off of someone else still

[pure hound]

I feel like replays are readily available for these games. Wouldn't ronaldo be called out for scoring the most goals if he piggybacked off of someone else obviously?

[gentle bronze]

As they are in the finals

[winged scarab]

Has anyone clipped the conversation about the brain implants June was talking about?

[dusk widget]

Okay

[oblique glen]

do we really know who IVADA is and what they do? the wiki just says they have a "performance division" and not much else. i was reading the stryker grid set descrpitions and it honestly feels more like something you would hear from CNS. talking about stuff like rebelion or "the system is rigged". the only thing that would make sense to, especially based on that set that just came out is maybe they could be some kind of legal group? in the set they are also talking about "contracts" and "negoatations"

[empty timber]

no, we don’t. we don’t know anything about them right now. I think this might answer all your questions about Ivada.

[delicate flame]

part of what they do is make clothing and stuff for contestants

[devout patio]

im not really a lore guy but has it been confirmed by embark that arc radiers and finals are connected?

[delicate flame]

it hasn't yet, we have to see once arc is released

[devout patio]

ah I see it would be interesting because there is already finals stuff in arc so i wonder what arc stuff in the finals would look like

[delicate flame]

we don't know what stuff from the finals is actually in the game still

since they could have removed it since tech test 2

[devout patio]

oh true

[sinful forge]

Ivada has made cns style weapons, they could be some sort of intermediary in negotiations w cns or they could actively support them, but we have no definitive proof yet

Can we actually find out where the youtube keyboard dwellers get the information that both games are connected? Im getting sick of it in some videos explaining lore

Someone please tell me its like they are a hive mind 😭

[empty timber]

why you read youtube comments. nobody read youtube comments

most of them are ragebait or misinformation

[sly wing]

I want them to stop spreading so much fake shit around youtube lore videos. It makes new people immediately think arc raiders is connected

What’s the big deal? They will find out the truth or not. The people that care are here and not in YouTube comment section XD

[wooden nimbus]

So ummm... Are there any ads for the new Pearly Gates insurance?

[hardy berry]

Pearly Gates Insurance
Pay money to go to heaven
MARTIN LUTHER WOULD LIKE A WORD

[nocturne turtle]

I think Pearly Gates Insurance is just a fancy name for life insurance

[analog wren]

does anybody know how reliable Holtow's insurance policy's are?

can I ping rob to ask that?

[fossil shadow]

We don't know much, but we can make an educated guess based on a lot of their item descriptions that they're just as predatory as the other sponsors I.E most of the time the contracts and insurance favours them, lots of loopholes that favour them

[analog wren]

i was thinking, yknow if you don't buy stuff like sun insurance or heaven insurance, obvious scams but with high fanfare for people to buy, what about regular insurance? how reliable is that? if it's a real insurance company that acutally gets the job done then mayube they aren't 100% the bad guys

[fossil shadow]

I'm sure the sponsors actually provide some form of the products they offer in a functioning form, but I think the idea is that there is no other alternative and these companies monopolize their respective fields

Seemingly most of the time, there is a fineprint or stipulation meant to screw the customer

[nocturne turtle]

In one of the player cards description is this:

In the arena, you need to move quickly and adapt, just like HOLTOW's insurance policies. Amendments to policies to add or delete coverage are a specialty.

Question is if those are consensual amendments or if Holtow is willy nilly changing them.
Looking at all the other companies in the game, it's probably the latter...

And those descriptions are also pretty sus:

A visual echo of HOLTOW's relentless drive to assess, quantify, and capitalize on every risk.

Nothing says safety like a bold logo and a vague promise.

[analog wren]

oof
so just a normal insurance company then. Diabolical.

[bitter tangle]

When round 2 starts sometimes Scotty says “who’s got enough red stream left in the tank for round 2” which I always thought was a really weird way of saying blood but I just realized red stream is probably what the fuel dissun makes is called

Hello, does anybody know if the nex PXL x Ospuze energy drink is going to be sold on official merch website so we can buy it outside of Sweden ?

[sweet compass]

good lore

[tacit pendant]

So does anyone have an estimation on what Scotty’s rank was when he was a contestant? And how long he competed?

My guess is that he competed for a long time and that he was extremely high ranked bc of his extensive knowledge on each mode. Plus, he is an announcer. I feel like you need to have been an expert in any field before transitioning to a form of announcer or broadcast (For example, JBL was a former wrestler and then he transitioned to announcing after retiring from wrestling)

[granite sigil]

Nah I feel like he got signed by Ospuze but ended up being hard stuck in gold every season so he switched career paths to being an announcer so he could talk as if he was really good.

[tacit pendant]

You think he’s lying about his experience?

[granite sigil]

100%

[tacit pendant]

I mean it’s a possibility but then again we don’t really have anything to show how good he was. I only say that he could have been high ranked because he got commentary and you probably can’t give that high of a position out like that to anyone if you weren’t an expert or highly skilled.

Take Shaquille O’Neal for instance. The man dominated the NBA due to his skill in the game and he became an announcer and sports analyst

[granite sigil]

With how much he talks about how good he was it feels like he’s trying to overcompensate. And if he was signed for Ospuze I think they might’ve seen how bad he was and changed him to be an anouncer so they could get their money worth by him promoting them. Either that or the guy drank a lil to much Ospuze and lost his skill becuz of it so they retired him

[tacit pendant]

Ohhh that’s a good thought on his Ospuze situation. That’s another good possibility 👌🏼

But wait a minute. Who is June as well? I know she’s the broadcast person too but they never mentioned she was a contestant. Maybe she worked on the game?

[granite sigil]

Yeh I feel like it would make sense if she worked on the game and actually knows more about it then Scotty but Scotty tries to seem more knowledgeable so people think he was a good player

[delicate flame]

eventually it might be sold in other places

[tight pendant]

Bring it to the states

Lots of energy drinkers here and I’ll drink ospuze by the gallon

[clear otter]

And whole Europe too. 👌

hi

[lone skiff]

Hi Uhhh

[abstract owl]

Hi

[delicate flame]

the stuff that is pointed out in the video is old

and could have changed since we originally saw it and when the game is out

so any video about how arc and the finals are connected can 100% be wrong since what we have seen may not be in the final game

[mental pasture]

whats the lore of the T1GER PAW if anyone knows? its for a personal project and I wanna be accurate,

[sly wing]

Its a fruit matter that grows in the South Atlantic landfill site. When it is harvested, they sell it to many companies as a flavour (example would be ospuze)

some pictures

We dont think they only grow the tiger fruit, Trentila is an entire agricultural and farming/harvesting company so they could also be doing other things

Tiger Paw also has symptoms like momentary disassociation, intense color saturation and conversations with inanimate objects

[mental berry]

That sounds like getting high

[young echo]

yeah

[mental berry]

Who would want to eat that 😭

[young echo]

me honestly

[mental berry]

💀

[sly wing]

Its not really edible its sold as matter which is turned into flavour in drinks etc

[young echo]

🤓

[sly wing]

Tiger juice + Ospuze already having skin detachment symptoms and mania would go overkill on a human being

[mental berry]

So like as a fruit extract I guess

[young echo]

i really want ospuze

[sly wing]

Yes exactly

[young echo]

so mad its only in Sweden

[mental berry]

yeah

Does anyone know if that's just a test run before they sell international?

[young echo]

probably

ask @sly wing

[sly wing]

Right now its just a collab with an actual drink company, they will eventually sell it on their merch store globally or even get the chance to put it in supermarkets

[mental berry]

oh bet

[young echo]

🙏 THANK THE LORD

[sly wing]

I doubt the supermarket one will be true, but merch store 100%

if I die, holtow would bring me back to life using sci-fi, or is it just basic insurance with unreasonable pricing with fishy advertisement

[iron sierra]

honestly we don't have a clear answer of whether or not people die in the finals universe anymore

none of the sponsors are pharmaceuticals or medical companies

if most/all people are always in VR, chances are their meat bodies are in stasis

like upload sorta

or matrix but aware
or ready player one but no outside

then again if everyone is in perma VR, there wouldn't be much of a point of trentila existing or the ospuze CNS conspiracy

the finals should get season where theres no audience, no one watching

the finals is a lost media and the only remains are former contestants who've won creating an underground version of it since its the only thing they were ever good at, which was competing

Just a minute ago in a quick cash I had killed someone via charge n slam, the slam broke a nearby tree. I don't know if this was caused by breaking the tree or by killing the player. Afterwards I noticed something out of place and double took, there above the stump was a floating png of a floppy disc. After a few seconds It quickly shrunk out of sight and I continued with the match. I couldn't clip it because my clipping app wasn't open so you'll just have to take my word for it and use this crude recreation of the occurrence with a screenshot taken in a private match and and edited in paint. Sorry for the essay. (well nvm, I cant post images here so if you want the reacreation either tell me where you can post images of DM)

Known Easter egg

#1252315342328565760 message

[nocturne turtle]

We still haven't solved it

[frank sky]

HOLTOW is the opposite of an insurance company. It secures you from things that have no proven possibility of existence. We've only seen advertisements of alien invasion, meteor shower, sun destroying the world and no entry into heaven. I guess a HOLTOW driver is insured against his car dematerializing as they drive.

[nocturne turtle]

they can happen in virtual reality

[frank sky]

Do you agree that a human, that died wearing a VR headset, has his mind stuck in the virtual space, from which he cannot escape which leads to him not getting into "heaven" without the insurance policy which HOLTOW advertises?

[nocturne turtle]

I wouldn't be surprised. It is a world where you can upload your mind into an android after all

[frank sky]

The technology behind Volpe's VR may be so absolute, that our soul is translated into the virtual space, in which we could get stuck, not reaching salvation without the insurance?

Now that's some deep thinking, yes. I agree.

[vital yew]

Nah its really just that they can insure you against all these things knowing they will never ever have to pay out. It's classic strategy, like those guys who took donations to guarantee your place in the rapture. For holtow it's literally just free money for no service.

[frank sky]

But then, if these people have free will, why would they pay for something they don't benefit from?

[alpine chasm]

same case as in medieval times: they don't know that it wont help them, and because of this Holtow can make profit from those believers

[signal hound]

Well thank god i joined Trentila

i felt something was off with holtow anyways

[alpine chasm]

yeah me too

[signal hound]

yeah i don'T understand why holtow even sponsors a few gamemodes but trentila doesn't

maybe we get a trentila event in the future?

it'd maybe be something with gardening

we got the theory that holtow is selling this "pearly gates insurance" because if a person dies in the real world while his mind is still in the simulation, he gets stuck and cant reach heaven, if its even true. Because that would mean that holtow is scamming all the "believers"

[alpine chasm]

but i dont know anything about trentila

[clever cloak]

trentilla is a bioengineering company

they may remind you of del monte or dole at first but they're far off

trentilla produces the tiger fruit, which we know that it's a main ingredient of ospuze's tiger juice

which looks like a dragon fruit irl but in the game, it has hallucinogenic effects

I agree. Thank you for joining trentila

[royal plover]

Then read our bible!https://www.thefinals.wiki/wiki/Trentila

[signal hound]

Yes, i like your gifts better anyway, the deagle, the outfit, everything.

[hoary wing]

Volpe and IVADA still need to have some more significant showcasing and sponsorships. And eno+rino, Jiangsu and maybe even X7//AV are minor brands that do seem to be featured a bit more than the others so we probably will hear more about them eventually.

[royal plover]

I still think s9 Will be dissun and Orf with s10 being volpe and Hydraq

[iron hatch]

S9 CNS here we go

[fossil shadow]

volpe is tbe most underdeveloped major brand in the game so far which is a shame

[valid steeple]

i am sooo damn intrigued by what is going to happen next, feels like they are bout to make a big change

with CNS and the whole 'playing into thier hand' thing. I dont even wanna know what vaiya has planned ;-; go CNS

AY good luck comrades

[oak pecan]

are the announcers AI in lore? or are they just using ai as a replacement for the voice acting and they are human in the game

like scotty and the other announcer, I forget her name

[tawny inlet]

wow

are the announcers AI in lore? or are they just using ai as a replacement for the voice acting and they are human in the game

[oak pecan]

?

[tawny inlet]

my bad i copy and paste by mistake

[lone skiff]

no

they hired voiceactors to record their voice then put it into the AI

i think they want to have it say team names and be more adaptable but they have not done that yet

[oak pecan]

oh neat, what about their in game characters?

[lone skiff]

no they are cannonically human

[oak pecan]

ah okay ty

[lone skiff]

also slight correction, there is announcer and commentator. Scotty and june are commentators but the announcer is a different character

[oak pecan]

oh oops well i meant scotty and june

[lone skiff]

yeah thats fine i just like to clarify to avoid confusion

[oak pecan]

ty

im trying to get back into the game bc im excited for arc raiders and want to support the company but it's been hard bc i've been trying to stop the game from stuttering when it used to not do that when I first played

[lone skiff]

have you updated drivers recently?

[oak pecan]

yeah ive been through all sorts of troubleshooting but i don't want to clog up the lore chat with my computer issues any further

[lone skiff]

its fine nobody chats in here anyways

[wooden nimbus]

Anybody here disappointed there's no cutscene for those who did all the Heaven or Else contracts? I was promised I'd get the insurance for free, according to the help video on the LTE

[oak pecan]

are there usually cutscenes if you complete all the contracts on LTM's?

[delicate flame]

we don't know anything about the announcer tbh

[delicate flame]

not really

[dense leaf]

I'm surprised they didn't advance the vaiiya grid on horizon at all throughout season 7

[granite sigil]

He announces stuff

[delicate flame]

no shit

[manic drift]

What is this

[wooden nimbus]

Nope, but since Scotty was teasing you can get the insurance for free if you did all the contracts, I was hoping they'd do something like, idk, revealing Quemby's voice telling you about the insurance.

[nocturne turtle]

A white rabbit.
They are hidden on seoul and the objects they are on spell "S Lies".
There's also a chubby white rabbit somewhere that we didn't find yet

[alpine chasm]

the phrase "s lies" refers to the Boss of Ospuze if i am correct. but what does she have to do with rabbits?

[granite sigil]

Could just be a reference to the matrix

[tender rover]

Iseult ceo canonically had a past time relation ship with June

Can I put in a request to have Scotty be an old washed up The Finals champ and June be an A.I. in a Server that Scotty has to talk to in the Commentators box and that's it.

Hello, I had a question about rank?

I finished the Holtow Classic rank and I was number 1438. Will it give me rank items?

Does Republica Orbital Do Brasil literally mean Brasil is now in SPACE? 😭💀

does anyone know a good video that summarizes all the lore

Unless I wipe them out that is

[lone skiff]

I haven't found one that goes in-depth really only ones that explain the sponsors. I'm working on making one myself but its a really big project lol

[undone crescent]

I imagine this has been talked about, but I just noticed the ospuze logo symbolizes a lock and key.

The hidden lore of the finals by Creed on youtube is my favorite vid about the lore ive watched

[alpine chasm]

am i going crazy or does the vaiiya logo symbolize a pause button?

i mean it would make sense considering they stop the attacks of CNS

[hardy berry]

Huh. Maybe

[lone skiff]

wait is that official art?

[fossil shadow]

Yes, sent to THE FINALS players via a marketing email

[fossil shadow]

I wouldn't look too much into it beyond just a cool visual for marketing

[quartz island]

I shamelessly turned Lance with Nama into a sticker on my phone.

[tender rover]

ospuze cannonically is liquid cocaine, and scotty used to be addicted to it in the past which is why he talks with so much excitement whenever ospuze is in the game

[blissful basin]

ENO+RINO new sponsor?

[lone skiff]

Not new, we just dont know much about them

[blissful basin]

I guess I meant new to in game items. I don’t think there’s any sponsored gear from them besides the recent team packs?

[lone skiff]

nope they've been on cosmetics before

[blissful basin]

Cool. Hope we get a switch up in year 3 that pushes all of the lesser known sponsors into the spotlight.

[lone skiff]

hopefully they get in the limelight yeah

[tidal pine]

Is there anything new in the lore?

I thought the eSports were connected to the lore but nothing happened till now or does it

[lone skiff]

Not sure if you know about the three frogs poem? It was a while ago but its the last big thing I can remember

[tidal pine]

Yeah wasn't that something like a bait from MultiCo where CNS fell in.

[lone skiff]

It was more of a commentary on the companies ospuze, dissun, and vaiiya with big lore drops on the meatspace and what's going on

[tidal pine]

So that trio is actually bad. But what about other companies? Wasn't there a speculation that CNS is actually Isoult and Isoult tried to make it look like it was enjimo. And Volpi is literally shadow banned because the didn't gave the ID from CNS to MultiCo

[delicate flame]

volpe provides the Vr tech so idk how they would be shadow banned

[vocal marsh]

I have a question Lore wise for the two companies of this season. aren't they like in "War" with each other to see who's better?? like a company rivalry if that makes sense

[royal plover]

Trentila and holtow's business' aren't really connected at all so i don't see how they would be rivals. You're probably thinking of ospuze and hydraq

[vocal marsh]

ah okay, thank you im still trying to get into the lore if the game

[open hinge]

all the faces in arc raiders are from the finals lmao, including odilia

[alpine chasm]

currently the main theme is replaced with a halloween remix of it, and i noticed the laughing you can hear in the beginning of it sounds like scotty. Is scotty alright?

[delicate flame]

none of the companies actually fight it's all for engagement

[vocal marsh]

we love scotty

[lone skiff]

we love @desert echo

[lone skiff]

holtow is an insurance agency, trentilla is a weed growing companmy (basically thats kind of simplified) so they're not competitive in the market per se but every year in the finals they sponsors do have a final showdown. so the answer to your question is yes in one way but no in another

[vocal marsh]

Thank you, im team Trentilla

[desert echo]

and i love you all

(Except Sal) JUST KIDDING

[lone skiff]

Nono, we hate sal.

I doubt its even an easter egg anyway, just a reused bench asset for ue5

[proud thunder]

there are tons of reused assets as both game were created by the same studio

[hardy berry]

YEAAAAHHH

[random obsidian]

I have a theory on how some of Arc Raiders connects to The Finals.

All Arcs are controlled by Vaiiya, and someone topside is posing as CNS in an attempt to hack into the games and fight Vaiiya directly rather than fight all of the bots it sends out.

The Harvester, protected by the Queen is a device used to harvest nutrients from the soil of the earth for Trentila to use to grow their crops.

If you played Tech Test 2, towards the end the Volcano began to activate, which leads me to believe that the harvesting of said nutrients has been disturbing areas underground.

The Finals, or where it takes place at least is held in some hidden mega city (potentially off world) that is sending these Arcs to deter any people left on Earth from messing with the Harvesters as it is their primary source of food.

[delicate flame]

the finals is a VR game and the contestants live on earth

and arc and the finals take place a few decades apart I believe

[delicate flame]

i played TT2 and I don't remember a volcano

[random obsidian]

The Volcano is out in the distance, and you can see it on the map. In one of our last games ash was falling around the map

Also i know that the Finals is VR im just saying that it is hosted in the mega city

[delicate flame]

how would it be hosted in a mega city?

[sudden vault]

EVERYONE!!! I MADE AN EVEN WORSE ONE!!!!

@loud totem @prime latch i made the final form of this image look at this

[prime latch]

oh no

[sudden vault]

i present to you...

i just realised this is the wrong channel but this is lore accurate enough right???

[prime latch]

this is actually what scotty looks like

[sudden vault]

this is actually what a person looks like after you drink an ospuze™️

[random obsidian]

The city is this big utopia where people hook themselves up to VR simulations. They get to roam the digital world and their brain power keeps Vaiiya up and running.

[wind wedge]

Anyone else want TRENTILA themed science gear for their characters? I want a TRENTILA lab coat or hazmat suit SO BAD. especially with the flower here as a charm or something. A vertical/drone farm backdrop?! I'd LOVE IT

Also is TRENTILA doing anything shady? Or is it literally just like a big-farma weed company? Are contestant-eating plants from similar to plants vs zombies or explosive fruits part of the lore?!

[alpine chasm]

They produce the "tiger fruit" wich is the main ingredient for Ospuze. It has Halucinogetic effects, gives ospuze its addictive effect and can lead to organ failure and "skin detatchment" if i am correct

[pure hound]

Is there any proof connecting THE FINALS to arc raiders in terms of lore? I know that the games occur at different times but is there any confirmed proof that they're in the same universe?

[tender rover]

i dont think so

[royal plover]

The thing is though if tiger fruit ospuze is a thing it can't be the main ingredient for all of the ospuze flavours else the tiger fruit version wouldn't mean anything, yeah?

[royal plover]

That would be so awesome ngl. I played with a really nice trentila super fan yesterday and he used some of our drip to look like a technician fixing the servers.

[royal plover]

Well some of our fruit upgrades can be seen as shady genetic mutations to some

[royal plover]

Behind one of the robots when viewing them in some sort of log (idk specifically where) you can see the top of an upside down dissun logo

[desert echo]

I wanted to ask a few questions…are these “upgrades” already expected in the growth process of the crops? Were these “upgrades” verified to be harmless?

[royal plover]

They are completely harmless and simply upgrades i can assure you

[desert echo]

I understand, but I’m still a bit suspicious…

[royal plover]

There is truly no need to be

[desert echo]

Of course Ana, of course

[cosmic wyvern]

is the actual gameshow in the lore called the finals or is it something else

[wind wedge]

Cool, good thing my virtual contestant can respawn lol. I hope TRENTILA can make contestant eating plants for a Halloween lol

[maiden anvil]

@wind wedge I personally think it’d be amazing to get some sort of like a fruit bash with the tiger fruit as an LTM!

[wind wedge]

YES

[maiden anvil]

I love having great ideas 💡!

@royal plover how did you cultivate the tiger fruit from barren earth?

[royal plover]

That's a secret
