The Sonic Frontiers Iceberg Explained (Unused Content, Hidden Lore, & More!) 

Loved making this with you man, it turned out fantastic!

I’m glad you edited Kishimoto was the one who actually said The End takes the form of what each person believes death to look like. But you didn’t mention that he explained that The End is a moon because the moon has been used by people as a symbol of death in mythology and fiction many times as it’s the counterpart to the sun which commonly depicts life.

47:50 I think the tribe with the tail was Wyvern, even though that is its body, it looks like a tail and the Winged tribe is Supreme, hence the wings it has in phase two (that disappear as soon as you get back to gameplay)

5:07 This is actually incorrect, Kishimoto has directed Sonic Colors, Sonic Lost World, Sonic Forces, and Sonic Frontiers. For the storybook series, he was a level designer. I'll have the other directors listed under this. Sonic and the Secret Rings: Yojiro Ogawa Sonic and the Black Knight: Tetsu Katano 22:23 This symbol does indeed have a meaning. In a side story in the Final Horizon, it is explained that the symbol represents the god of the Ancients, despite how much technology they have. I'm very impressed with this video. I can tell that everyone involved gave it their all to make this the best it could be, and as a small content creator, I love seeing that kind of work ethic. Great job! 👍

Makes more sense that Supreme is the one based on the tribe with Wings and Wyvern's the one based on the tribe with long tails.

It’s not a dead fish yet. It’s still flopping around the poor thing….

45:42 To reach that island, from what I know, is that you perform the Hit and Run glitch on the tower with the ribcage enemy. It is a bit tedious, but it is manageable. On that island, there's not much except a spring. Touching that spring will send you to the hoops and back to the "shoeprint isle" with the ramp.

Sonic Frontiers is kinda like the Sonic 2 of the 3D Sonic games in the sense that we know about so much unused content from both games

34:06, Yes, we brazilians flood Sonic's Social medias asking for localization, i am proud to have been part of this, now every sonic Game got Subtitles, and this makes more people want to give the game a chance

49:43 I remember on Twitter someone said in response "sonic playing with wyvern's balls"

Bro I LOVE your Sonic Frontiers unused content videos. I’m HYPE

26:14 As a brazillian, I can say that the localization is very good. Personally I liked how they handled many terms related to the franchise, such as the Chaos Emeralds (called Esmeraldas Chaos). They could've translated "Chaos" as "Caos", but it would probably take a meaning of something that brings only disaster. Instead it was treated as a specific name. Same goes for Rings (not being called Anéis or Argolas), Egg Memos being called "Anotações do Egg", etc.

22:24 at the end of the game post credits that symbol actually pops up when sage comes back to life

27:14 In Greek mythology, Chaos was a neverending void and darkness (an eternal "fall" of sorts) that predated the creation of the Gods. After Chaos, came Gaia (the Earth) and Uranus (the Sky). They had many children, which were the titans; the most important one was Cronos (Later known to represent the Time, since its... birth circumstances... led to the creation of the space between the sky and the earth, and thus time as part of this space). So Frontiers locations relate a lot to the Greek Cosmogony.

After watching that premiere this video was just PEAK and I enjoyed it! I love every single unused Sonic Frontiers content in this video. You should do more of these videos in the future.

27:09 Chaos is the primordial void in Greek Mythology that all the other primordial deities were born from

27:06 Yes, Chaos IS a greek god. It is the supreme deity of greek mythology, everything comes and returns to Chaos.

34:37 that’s why I liked the song as a kid as well

The bickurrybox12 jumpscare in bellow the iceberg🤯🤯🤯

7:28 on this, it’s not all in his mind it’s all recreated FROM his mind, there’s still tangibility in it. same thing with cyberspace. does mean that cyberspace can not only recreate entire areas but also realistic artificial living beings indistinguishable from their inspiration which is kinda fuckin wild 😭

The bickuribox jumpscare was the most shocking thing in this video

Ya know what, challenge accepted SF 45:51 I’ll make it over there!

Definitely worth the wait. You two are already one of my favorite Sonic channels, so you two teaming up for this video was the cherry on top of the cake. Great work you two, this has been a blast! Frontiers is also my favorite 3D Sonic game BTW. 😅

51:39 The titan theme's lyrics support this.

Writing this while watching the premiere, 10/10 and i hope you do more collabs with OreoGod or other Sonic RU-vidrs.

28:28 actually the English script by Ian Flynn IS the original script of the game and all the game cutscenes are lip synched to it, the japanese script is infamous in the japanese comunitu for how much it changes the original meaning of the story

Awesome Riley ~ I'm so excited and can't wait!~

Loved the edited, was fun working on this with y'all!

Sage said PROBABLY so it could actually be Big himself.

I can’t believe people are still doing icebergs in 2024

glad OreoGod is making appearances in other SonicTuhe videos, his content is goated, glad to see how far he's come.

this looks really good i’m excited

Really well done video, it’s a shame the developers couldn’t make everything they wanted but to have something we can even consider good is a blessing. Maybe if we get lucky one day we could get a behind the scenes look or maybe a director’s cut.

Oh my god I’ve been waiting for this, I love iceberg videos! OreoGod is in it too, this is a goated video 😎👍

love this video man, good stuff

YO THIS IS THE BIG PROJECT. I CANT WAIT!!

I can see why this video had 7 phases of development. Brilliant work!😄

Best opening statement for an iceberg video ever

It could be that sonic is the one who's afraid of the moon, as it may be giving him PTSD from when he would turn into the warehog and night during the events of sonic unleashed

if i get a new phone before my trip, im downloading and watching this thing on my ride, again a WWWWW collaboration, you guys are awesome!!!

I have a huge stretch when it comes to the take on the ancient world ship. What if the place where Sonic begins his open world journey, the introduction in Kronos Island, was never meant to be the introductory place at all? And instead of it being the introduction to the open world, it was meant to be a place to teleport to the ancient world ship? It would probably explain why the cutscene looks so weird, with the textures and the rain looking very dated, and would also explain why there’s a significant amount of detail on the top of the hills where you begin the open world. Things like decorated stones that resemble the shrine locations in the open world, and even walls to run on. It could be possible that, just like the red teleporters in Sky Sanctuary, there was meant to be a device or shrine that would teleport you from there to the ancient worldship. Again, it’s a huge stretch but I think it would be interesting nonetheless.

Also I leave comments as I watch videos a lot of times so that’ll most likely explain if one of my comments contradicts something later in the video.

Its really cool how even though we knew a lot about Frontiers development, there were still stuff that went under the radar

47:47 wyvern is the tail one and supreme is wings, since he gets them in the second phase

Super excited!

I haven't had a chance to check the comments, so sorry if someone already pointed this out, but Chaos Island does have a connection to Greek Myth, though not a god named Chaos. In Hesiod's Theogony, an acccount of the Greek creation story, the world started out with a concept/god/essense named Chaos, whom all other gods were eventually descendant from. Chaos does not really appear beyond that in Greek Myth, but it is a possible connection.

Actually, the ZAP symbol did have a meaning in one of those side conversation with Sage if the player it's playing as Amy

49:22 its not just that he appears in it, its that the section he appears in is literally infinites theme in that song, just with different lyrics and a slightly different ending

It would’ve been cool to have Big playable in the third update as well…

I didn’t watch the full video but did you include the unobtainable koco in ouranos island (final horizon), the kocos and secret structure on top of Kronos island spawn, and random unused trigger inside a wall in ares island? that would be a missed opportunity lol

You know it’s a good video when the intro is less than a minute!!

37:22 I expected this to be the jump move he does when he's close to the edge of the arena

46:46 Chaos turns into 3 of these in SA1.

49:00 Kronos island movement 4 music also refrences infinites boss fight theme lol

I think it would be cool if Super Sonic Cyber led to the Super Sonic in the fleet Way comics. The next time Sonic goes Super, it ends with him trying to kill his own allies and the goal is to bring him back.

Ngl kinda like the idea of sonic getting amnesia flashes, imagine if it was because of cyber corruption. We would've had not just a unique animation but voice lines, epic.

37:52 I usually do a 200 combo only with homming attack/phantom rush

37:21 Probably already explained by other people, but to trigger that attack, you just have to do the same thing for Wyvern's laser attack, continuously deal damage and parry all of his attacks without using Grand Slam

Imagining how I'd want Frontiers changed besides accessibility and difficulty adjustments... Have an option to have the Memory Token/Koco Icons on the Map to appear at the START of the platforming section, not the Last! Having to backtrack to find that start really ruins the flow state. Make Giganto a little bit faster, and also give her a jumping Smash Sonic Down Air Attack. This is a giant we're fighting, not a sloth, nor a stationary wall! Give Wyvern staggering damage. It'd be so cool if you could wail on him into the mountain side. Promise that the underground waterway on Ares Island and the sulfur pools on Khaos Island will inspire levels in future Sonic Games. Those two places really stood out to me. Make Rhea Island a dead forest, depending on how many towers you have left. It's thematically appropriate. Make Ouranos Island fog 24/7. Lots of fog! It can't be in the sky like Khaos Island, but it can emulate the look! Give Supreme those attacks back. I'd like it to be mapped to the button, but it looks so cool! Change the Post-Credits ending of the Base Story. Instead of Final Horizons being a separate timeline, combine the two with the creation of a single cutscene; Instead of Sonic and Co leaving(save that for Final Horizon's Ending) and Eggman reviving Sage, there's instead a bunch of red and blue glitches in a dark foreground. Sage's voice is heard. "Self-Termination resulted in Father's pain. Simulation Rejected." Base Game Ouranos is a simulation, and seeing her own death prompted Sage to go the Final Horizon route instead.

17:37 I run into that the end dialogue because I keep trying to beat a platorming challenge for too long in the same area and the game thinks I am doing nothing. The game just force me to stand still and listen the end yap for 2+ freaking minutes. I freaking hated that

Awesome Video Bro. Sonic Frontiers is Sonic's version of Breath Of The Wild. I wonder what Sonic's version of Tears Of The Kingdom will be like.

47:50 wyvern is the tail one because it doesnt have legs, while supreme is the wings one because you can see them in phase 2.

52:50 i thought it was a broken portal from sky sanctuary. awesome vid btw

I am so fucking ready! 🤩

47:48 Actually, it’s the other way around for Wyvern and Supreme

peak sf productions content

I’m actually kinda hyped for this ngl

Maybe the thing with the end being sonics fear is because sonic might be scared of the moon because the night turned him into a warehog. Idk just a theory

Bickuribox12 jumpscare

i would really like them to consider using the world ship as an area for the sequel of the game as a continuation kind of thing if we do ever get one sequel, having the word ship be a big role in getting more lore about the Ancients and Chaos Emeralds

Can’t wait

OH SO THE ?/7 WAS HOW MUCH LAYERS ARE DONE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

Real good video thank 😊

On the topic of the rare Giganto attack, the way I always manage to get it is simply not doing Grand Slam the first two times Giganto does the spin attack. If you just keep attacking, the third parry attack will be the one where Giganto lunges at Sonic in the fixed camera angle. As far as I'm concerned, this and the other way mentioned in the video are the only ways to see that attack.

37:21 The best way to get this Giganto attack is to get a chain of attacks for a long period of time. The best way to get the attack to happen is by doing a basic combo with phantom rush and using the Sonic Boom. It also works with Supreme's fight too

if we get a follow-up in the future, hopefully some of these unused content ideas make it in.

I know most of the stuff on this iceberg but ill listen to it regardless lol

AMAZING VIDEO

Aw man I remember listening to all the leaks about this game

6:55 fun fact the first time you do fishing, its not randomized. all the fish required for 100% will be fished up in a specific order. after you 100% the fishing, it will then be randomized lol There were also unused master trials left in update 2 lol

WE FINDING OUT WHAT SF STANDS FOR IN THIS ONE 🔥 🔥 🔥

Well heres part 2 of these videos

Collab of the year⁉️🗣️🔥💯

1. Kellin Quinn One thing worth mentoning is that he was one of the co-writers on the album "Loveless I" by Loveless which was produced by Julian Comeau and mastered by Tyler Smyth. Comeau was one of the co-writers of Undefeatable, Break Through It All and Find Your Flame and did back vocals for said songs. And Tyler Smyth... Infinite, Green Light Ride remix, Frozen Junkyard, Thunder Deck and titan themes in Frontiers except original I'm Here. Thank him for bringing heavier sound to the Sonic discography. 2. Ian Flynn No, he's not a lore master with how many errors Encyclo-speed-ia has and how much it focuses on Wetsern non-game Sonic content yet ignores Japanese non-game content. 3. Sage YOU FORGOT TO MENTION MEGUMI HAYASHIBARA 4. Sonic Adventure Iizuka pretty much spoiled what Frontiers is by hoping it being new SA1 because Frontiers is the same story in some way. The ancient civilization being wiped out for flying too close to the sun, the final boss is the "sun" and the main characters in both games are Sonic, Tails, Amy, Eggman, Big (lol) and Eggman's creation with identity crisis. There also are some similar plot bits in both games. One of my favorites is Knuckles' resolution in JP script because it's basically the same thing from SA1 but reversed. 5. Sticks See Sonic Comic by Eitaro Toyoda. They were released to celebrate Sonic's 25th anniversary and some of them feature Sticks. 6. Death Egg Robot Team Sonic Racing was developed by Sumo Digital with Sonic Team's supervision and Flynn isn't related neither to TSR nor Speed Simulator. So it's not Flynn "bridging the gap between Frontiers and Forces" but Sonic Team. 7. Greek names One thing I like about Kronos Island is that Kronos is considered as a patron of the harvest and the island named after him is the most green one. And Chaos in Greek mythology is the void preceding the creation of the universe or cosmos, meanwhile Chaos Island has active volcanos and volcanos can form islands so they precede the creation of the land. And about 27:17. No, Asura is a term from hinduism. 8. Jenga Final Horizon didn't nned to explain everything. Just why? 9. The End's true form What Kishimoto actually said is that The End's appearance is based on the person's vision of death. It's still a weird way to explain The End being a moon because moon is related to death in terms of symbolism but mostly in the context of the cycles. Also you play as Sage so it's what death is to her, ask her.

Now i got an idea... You said that 《The End》 takes on whatever Form, our Character is the most scared of. Sonic could be scared of the Moon, cause in UNLEASHED, back then he always transformed into an Werehog.

About the three islands thing, I just think that eggman never made it to Rhea island or Ouranos island.

53:07 If you'd allow me, I have a theory/headcanon! I'd have to double check in my copy, but it looks like the broken gem is made of the same texture as a lot of other purple stuff that's appeared on Ancient Architecture, namely the "Rest in Peace" symbol in that same room. This makes me think it's the same material and NOT a unique gem. As for its purpose? Maybe it's a sculpture in honor of the Master Emerald bringing them to Earth? I dunno.

The voice lines talking about the Ancients' World Ship also have Sage and Sonic talking about getting the 'last' chaos emerald there too. In the final game, it's bizarre that Eggman simply hands Sonic the last emerald on Ouronos, getting it off-screen. Perhaps visiting the World Ship was the intended means of getting the last chaos emerald early in development, before Ouronos was made the final island and they just decided to have Eggman hand it to you?

The Cyloop and Action Chains might be inspired by NiGHTS. Before Final Horizon, if you asked me what character type I think Amy should be, I'd instantly give the Hammer wielding hedgehog Power Type, but now? I guess this form is called Cyber Amy? Anyway, wielding Cards instead of a Hammer, Final Horizon Amy is a Speed Type in my book.

Oreogod haven't responded in a while thanks to college

Fun fact: as far as i know sonic frontiers is not the first game with the homing dash, I think the first game to have that isn't even a sonic game (it is sonic inspired though), i think it was spark the electric jester 3, but there it's called the magnet dash & before it was mentioned in the frontiers speed strats, it was fandubbed as the magnet dash, which is / was called in spark 3

It’s actually katakana, not kanji, on the jp box art. Specifically they seem to be using it akin to furigana, to help people pronounce the English text.

"Characters have more personality and depth." ... As you show Amy, who was practically lobotomized in this game. I don't even see how Ian is a good writer. All the game did was shift the goalposts with long-standing series questions, not actually answer them.

i honestly wanna start a channel like you and all of the other guys but i just can't cus, i dont think im good enough to find so many news and leaks, heck, if i start my channel like that i will be on twitter 24/7 (also i just finished the whole video and its AWESOME)

HAHAH i just got Bickuribox jumpsared on a video not By Him lol, was not expecting to see him here lol

I think the symbol is for cyberspace because when the spirits from the koco leave they go into that symbol and cyberspace? Think about

IS THAT MY FAVOURITE POOKIE BiCKURIBOX12?!?!! 52:07

I CAN’T WAIT!!
