A list of easter eggs that can be found in the Jak and Daxter video game series.

Jak II

Rift Gate Precursor Text Translation

There is precursor text seen on the inner and outer rings of the Rift Gate in Jak II. The text, in English, translates to ROB, AMY, BRENNEN, TITUS, ROWAN, and SUFFEED.

Rob Titus was an artist at Naughty Dog who worked on the Jak and Daxter games and is most likely the one that implemented this easter egg. When asked about the other names, he replied "Those are the names of children of Naughty Dogs [developers] born during the production of Jak and Daxter". However, his IMDb page indicates that his spouse's name is Amy. Rob's decision to cross his first and last name on the outer ring of the Rift Gate suggests that Amy's full name is likely Amy Brennen.

Rowan might be the name of a child belonging to a Naughty Dog developer, as Rob previously suggested. Potentially even his own child.

Following the theme of names, Suffeed is also most likely a name. Not much is known about this name since it is extremely uncommon, but the word "sufeed" is used to refer to a plant found in India.

Alternatively, if we apply the same first and last name logic to the inner ring, we get Rowan Suffeed or Suffeed Rowan.

There is also the typo theory where "suffeed" is a misspelling of "suffered". This would indicate the existence of someone named Rowan Suffered or Suffered Rowan. Or, that someone name Rowan has suffered.
