    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?

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

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

    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

    ROUND TWO, BOOKFACE. OR... DEMON FACE... IN A BOOK... DEM- WHATEVER, IT'S ON.

    Much better attempt this time (thanks to Magis mulling it over with me); here's draft two.


    Pentetolothys
    Athealogicad


    Ylk'eorz

    Tetheth Ctulaniacl

    Mesca molla nith kol atha
    afah on mantha qulta oka
    millh azan thal azan ul.
    Gelli deuz tort'il am all'i
    veuol gthal nk'denil ma
    thaeothelphae guil ac'til.
    Nevth'ent noctemas tel
    paeth byl xun tao zin djai
    akh mael thisthe qarnic.
    Mor ann mor silvae mor.
    Morn ynn morn silvae morn.
    Tu'l qui jae tzun tao
    ghollill demen atymos al
    ill fhwil athac feryne.

    [1872]

    Cillix yn zolol nedzj seF
    Tolnysor bevid. MolH
    Holnix xanla tildylT
    Usen yn vholl thaelA
    Li Noctologolae netheG
    Hyss diem alul morN
    Unna morn tulwal.
    Mesca molla atymos kol
    mor unna mor gwyr
    cthol aen dag il on al
    feryne akyn.

    Taehlo geomyntoric

    M'Lin L'th Qitha
    Bellenoctol
    Sempyr

    Beneth quin jao azathi chail
    Atymos'il fhil ambyri ox
    Gothin dalam gyllo ud tempa

    [1871]

    And here's the same thing but organized by sentence.

    Mesca molla nith kol atha afah on mantha qulta oka millh azan thal azan ul.

    Gelli deuz tort'il am all'i veuol gthal nk'denil ma thaeothelphae guil ac'til.

    Nevth'ent noctemas tel paeth byl xun tao zin djai akh mael thisthe qarnic.

    Mor ann mor silvae mor.

    Morn ynn morn silvae morn.

    Tu'l qui jae tzun tao ghollill demen atymos al ill fhwil athac feryne.

    [1872]

    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...

    GODS DAMNIT, KOJI.
