Demon Book boss "Ylk'eorz" and the text on his page.

[Kotemon]

EDIT: I forgot about the "Ylk'eorz" thing which as others have already said could mean the "Ilk of Eorzia", which would make the full title "58th [tome] on the study of the unholy eorzian beings" so, basically a Monsters Compendium or a summoning book.

The rest of the script looks similar to H. P. Lovecraft's R'lyehian (Cthulhu language) or WoW's Old Gods language which is based on the former.

I was starting to assume something similar by reading lines of that title. I was coming to something along the lines of Anthological Studies of Erozias Ilk. Given some line about Atomos and other locations references. I was leaning to it being a compendium related to the more demonic/otherworldly entities that either roam about or have been known to be manifested/called into Erozia.

Oddly enough I had already made an assumption that the Localization team might try to reference it to the Necronomicon in some manner, or at lease the Sam Rami version of it. Being that it may contain otherworldly Lore, Rituals, and things that should not be read, spoken, etc... Maybe even some unknown history or facts about Summoning rituals and whatever seal is supposed to be around Silvertear.

Awesome. Just began reading call of c'thulu recently. Question is: who are these unholy beings of eorzea?
Extraterrestrial beings with tentacles and eyeballs in wrong places? (*cough* Jenova *cough*)
The Dragons?
The Primals?
Or maybe is it us?

[lololink]

Or just demons.

Or just demons.

Or just demons. But that is too simple for my taste.

[Wolfandre]

The Necrologos.....? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????

The Necrologos.....? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????

That's the book I was trying to think of earlier.

Great minds think alike. It was what I immediately thought of when I saw the trailer.

Extraterrestrial beings with tentacles and eyeballs in wrong places? (*cough* Jenova *cough*)

Well, when you think about it. Mind flayers in general were based on a book rooted in the Chtulhu mythos and are currently the almost universal link across many RPG's that connects back to H.P. Lovecraft

[Balipu]

The Necrologos.....? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?????

We will finally read the actual book

I need to take a break before I really dig into this, but two things you should notice right away. First, the book seems to be read right to left (as this is a Japanese game, after all) and Cid does read it in this manner. Second, you should notice that the first and last letter of the lines on the right-hand page are capitalized. That's weird, maybe if you read top to bottom on both sides...

CTHULHU... FHTAGN...
