@im_travis: stitch w/ @DooMBarD_92 About IIII and Hades II (stay to the end!) #hades #hades2 #clock

swampthong :

There’s also the issue that IV on a gate would be VI when seen from the other side, which would be confusing

Bats (TMGC) / ophanimera :

supergiant has always been intentional with their artistic choices… they would not slip up on something as basic as numbers

MLincolnT :

The best part is that Chronos’ design takes influence from both Egyptian and Roman motifs, two empires that flanked Ancient Greek in the past and future, so his very design has influences of time baked into it

Art in Paradox :

ac.alm :

I respect the spoiler warning effort but I do think you might be safe to relax a little when we're talking about a name that gets death sworn on it in the very first piece of dialogue we hear 🤣🤣🤣

Jadedragoon35 :

I love how Supergiant actually pays attention, any big company would just put the roman numerals

Caitlin :

it is also, notably, mirrorable, unlike IV, so no need to make a separate asset from another perspective based on the room layout

PanosGayming 🎮🕹️ :

My other favorite detail about Chronos is that there’s a lot of money and riches in his domain because (I assume) “time is money” 🤭. It might also just be same reference to gold and Kintsugi.

Coscat :

It's weird that 9 is still IX with this logic

OOZwin 🇨🇦 Discovers life :

side note. the number 4 can be written both ways. I thought everyone knew this fact

Bob :

IV could be mistaken for VI from other angle as well

DooMBarD_92 :

Love your video man 👍🏻

Papa Rogue :

I went to, "it was a gate duh."

Brennan / “R” :

it frustrates me that it’s Roman numerals and that they’ve taken the Roman Arachne myth that villainizes athena

MysteryEgg :

i dont think you need a spoiler warning for mentioning chronos when the literal tagline is "death to chronos."

AJ :

I love this genius moment

Neon Tiger ⚡️ 🐅 :

it also follows in 3 sets of 4, 4 Is, 4 Vs, 4 Xs.

Otto 🇳🇨🇵🇸 :

My grandma had a clock with IIII on it but tbh I think this is a very European thing

Jason :

My understanding is actually both are correct anyway.

elitornoe :

thank you for this, I've poured 250 hours into this game throughout early access and it's been driving me up the wall since the first time I entered Tartarus over a year ago

Tea Shop :

I dont want spoilers but im saving this to come back in the future 🫡

Akaneko🏴🚩 :

alsoooo kronos is not the god of time it's chronos

TPB :

I have an old clock on a wall that says III and had it since I was little so I always considered it normal.

HarmonicLoaf :

also wasn't there something about IV being used instead of IIII because people wanted to save money on road signs back then, as it was cheaper for them. I feel like I read about that somewhere.

Cyn :

excellent video, I love learning about the historical context!
