To those looking for the last secret. What do we know so far?
I see a lot of posts where people rocket into the black hole of misinformation, and/or insanity. But fret not, because here comes an old wind of Polytron statements!
Renaud Bernhard (FEZ Programmer):
- Q: "In your GDC Postmortem you stated that there are 157 level areas in Fez. Are all of them accessible in-game? And if so, does that mean that there are still secrets in Fez that have yet to be found?"
RB: "..there are no secret rooms that have yet to be found." http://new.spring.me/#!/renaudbedard/q/345199617618495104

"The hexahedron expects you to be a ZU villager. He also mentions that the procedure of giving you the 3D power is not something trivial or risk-free, and that it might be messy. Exactly why it explodes is anybody's guess though." http://new.spring.me/#!/q/417541239567574875
-
Q: "How many people know the solution to the Black Monolith other than you and Phil?"
RB: "Don't we all, deep within our hearts?" http://new.spring.me/#!/q/404148758251586060
-
"Oldest reference to Zuish in my emails : June 2008. Oldest reference to math system : August 2010" http://new.spring.me/#!/q/389070719650127130
-
"it's very inspired by Charles and Ray Eames's "Powers Of Ten" short film (http://vimeo.com/819138) and 2001 : A Space Odyssey. What it actually means I don't think is very important, though it's Phil's concept and I can't speak for him." http://new.spring.me/#!/q/387292050074139610

Q: "what was the 'generator' that got scrapped in fez?"
RB: "As I remember it, it was on one of the unaccessible faces of Villageville, so it dated from the village's conception by 3D-seeing villagers. FEZ has this concept that everything is mechanical and computerized, a world inside a computer, so this generator powered up the machine somehow. Later we'd see a broken version of the generator in empty villages. Remember, I'm paraphrasing what I remember Phil mentioning about it, and it's a while ago. The generator art was repurposed as the stargate that brings you from the Zu backup village to the purple planet final level." http://new.spring.me/#!/q/386904811372565483

"..Crop circles/ritual stuff, my lips are sealed. I'm not trying to bubble up mystery, it's just Polytron policy." http://www.reddit.com/r/Fez/comments/11t37l/fez_oddities_and_unused_files/

Marie-Christine Bourdua (Polytron producer):
DespiteObeying all of the above, there probably is one more thing that no one has discovered/done yet. Quote:
MCB: "I don't think we will ever take the time to go through all of the posts regarding this. It's not that we don't want to answer you, it's just that we really like the mystery around it. Plus, it's so inspiring to see how everybody make the game its own with their solutions to the puzzles. It makes FEZ so much bigger than it is. I love it! <3
I could say one thing. There's still one thing that nobody never discover."
LydianAlchemist: "They also just said they haven't read every post. Lol"
MCB: "Ok, you have a point here. Let me rephrase that. To our knowledge, there's something that no one has discover yet."
getsqt: "I think she's gone... (Or telling phil to get his ass in here ?! Yeah, who am i kidding :3)"
MCB: "Yep I was sleeping! I created a monster, sorry guys! I've been browsing this subreddit pretty regularly so I kind of know. Ok. So there's two things that you found, assets that you know that exist, but you don't know the reason why. Especially one that was found in the code. Ok now I'm done talking! ;) http://www.reddit.com/r/Fez/comments/21epkk/can_anyone_now_confirm_what_the_lightbar_is_used/cgczz0f?context=3
Observations:
- Hexahedron is 4x4x4 = 64. http://new.spring.me/#!/q/389070719650127130
- Crypt also has dimensions 4x4x4, can be seen as 4x + 4y + 4z = 64, which looks familiar. (Described by Rectus_Technica in a thread that's now gone that she/he has deleted their account. Did you hear that? Come back Rectus! :D)
- All monoliths in Fez have 1x1x2 dimensions: http://www.reddit.com/r/Fez/comments/21p4pv/spoilers_albums_of_fez_monoliths_112/
- Renaud wouldn't comment cropsquare_a and ritual assets, but it could be misleading.
- We're probably looking for something that will trigger a yet uncovered easter egg. Probably not big enough to be an additional ending though.
And always remember to have fun :D
May the Fez enlighten you!
