S01 Lore Vignette 1

(Redirected from S1 Mid-Season Vignette)

The S1 Lore Vignette (aka "Writing on the Wall") intro video was introduced after Hotfix 1.6.1 on February 2nd, 2024. It only played the first time the game was loaded after the patch. The video is a recording of a conversation between Scotty and June after a match has ended. Although not directly stated, the video most likely related to the hacking group called CNS.

Transcript

Scotty: "It's lights out in the arena. From all of us here at THE FINALS, thanks for watching!"

June: "Aaand we're out"

Scotty: "Time for an OSPUZE Pro Juice!"

June: "You actually drink those?"

Scotty: "Wouldn't want Sofia to hear you say that."

June: "Oh, she has enough on her plate with the recent hacks, trust me"

Scotty: "They're not hacks, June. They're glitches. Besides, HOLTOW's not worried."

June: "They don't run the show, they just sponsor it. Someone put those messages in the system..."

Scotty: "Ah, you worry too much."

June: "You keep telling yourself that, Scotty. The writing's on the wall...literally."

Breakdown

June seems surprised that Scotty drinks OSPUZE Pro Juice, a product that is heavily advertised in the arena and the official sponsor of Season 0.

Scotty implies Sofia Petronelle (the CEO of OSPUZE) wouldn't approve of June's comment.

June brings up "recent hacks" and implies Sofia is already dealing with a lot. This is likely a reference to the hacking group CNS, who had been "hacking" previous teaser trailers for THE FINALS, and may attempting to hack OSPUZE.

Scotty disagrees with June, stating they are glitches, not hacks, and suggests HOLTOW isn't worried. Although HOLTOW is a digital insurance company, they only sponsor THE FINALS, they don't actually cover it. This fact is pointed out by June in the next line.

June argues that someone intentionally inserted "messages" in the system. This is another reference to CNS and the messages that were put into teaser trailers and in-game (such as the S LIES message).

Again, Scotty seems in denial of the true scope of the situation.

June acknowledges that Scotty is in denial and mentions literal "writing on the wall." Again, this is a reference to the S LIES message in Monaco.
