    From what I can tell, it seems to be gibberish. I spent quite a while staring at the contents of the Ars Notoria (iirc) and an Eorzean font chart trying to decipher it and got nowhere.

    Does anyone else find it interesting that you wield your grimoire with your right hand, but write in it with your left? It seems every single arcanist is left-handed.

    What I've long noticed is that arcanist grimoires had geometric patterns, while scholar grimoires are full of squiggly text. Never noticed any differences in summoner grimoires though. Cool to know there's a reason for the distinctions.

    it would be nice it they could add that too. i love the casting incantations before the spells goes off... i guess macros are the only way to go

    Why do you think they need a new one every few levels? They've run out of pages!

    I think there's actually a second "gibberish font" SE uses at certain levels.

    There are sections of the Map of Eorzea that feature the same anomalous, nonsensical symbols as the books.

    Wasted many an hour...

    Or maybe durability is how many pages are left in the book. When you go repair it, they just remove the old ones and bind new ones!
