    I love that SmallAnt harkened back to Gen 3 and used braille for this. It was such an interesting aspect of R/S/E that wasn’t talked about much, but it’s awesome that he utilized it more for this escape room.

    • @luna6315
      @luna6315 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      after being forced to recall the braille when i was playing pokemon reborn i decided that i hope it never comes back

    • @dannygman
      @dannygman ปีที่แล้ว +19

      It still confuses me that a game uses braille which requires your sight to be able to read, entirely negating the entire point of Braille...

    • @GumshoeClassic
      @GumshoeClassic ปีที่แล้ว +30

      ​​@@dannygmanWell it kind of makes sense since they wanted it to be something that would be an actual mystery/puzzle to the player.
      Braille is a well-made, easy to understand alphabet that most players won't know, since as you mentioned you need to be able to see to play the game, and it fits with their visual design (which I'd wager came first).
      All in all it's a pretty good way to choose a cipher without having to make up your own for a few short puzzles.

    • @LRM12o8
      @LRM12o8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      @dannygman it makes for a good cypher since people with the eye sight necessary to play the game are very unlikely to know braille.
      And the fact that the whole braille alphabet (plus some special characters) is laid out in the first puzzle chamber in the proper games makes it possible for very smart players to guess that it is the alphabet and use that to decode actual hints (ignoring the special characters, because there's no way of knowing their order) without using external resources.
      It's an easy way to make a self-contained puzzle.
      (which SmallAnts escape room is not quite, because it doesn't include any information to decipher braille)

    • @Firedonify
      @Firedonify ปีที่แล้ว +8

      @@LRM12o8 There's not even a need to guess at the alphabet, there just was a braille alphabet in the manual that games came with back then. But it's also a nice nod to the design of the Regis, since their eyes are also dots in certain arrangements.

    I admit Kenobi could’ve been better but I don’t see how Obi-Wan encountering Vader between Episode III and IV is anymore of a contradiction than “your father wanted you to have this lightsaber”, “I don’t recall ever owning a droid” or “When I left you I was but the leader” (implying Anakin hadn’t reached Knighthood when he turned)
    Also Obi-Wan and Leia meeting I’ll admit stretches things, but doenst outright contradict anything. If anything it explains how Leia knows who Luke is taking about when he says he’s with “Ben Kenobi” and why Leia would name her son “Ben”
