Fiend Lyrics & Lore Book Updates

Hey, I'd like to elaborate a little bit on the Durai Memorial. As people theorized, the "Durai" mentioned is Orran Durai, the famous Astrologian of Final Fantasy Tactics. That's only where the story starts, however: in Final Fantasy VIII, by going through some of the SeeD sub menus, you can find a short history of Triple Triad. Shown on this page is a low resolution version of Orran Durai playing Triple Triad with a Black Mage and a few other classes originally shown in FFT. The text states that Triple Triad began when Orran modified simple Tarot cards to be used as playing cards for troops at war, as something to do between battles.

With all this in mind, it's reasonable to say that the Durai Memorial is a reference to Orran Durai and the character's original creation of Triple Triad. Like Milleuda, we can theorize that it's probably not the same Orran Durai for lore purposes, but a XIV version highly based on the original game's design. This is what I know for now!

Now I wonder if XIV's astromancy began with him

Still waiting on an update as to why the Orchestrion version is different! And if I can replace the one I got with the one I want (the original).
