    Good effort, but even though you flagged it as spoilers, "memorial" still gives away the same plot point, right in the title. You just made sure that anyone who wasn't sure before, now knows it's a spoiler. Might I suggest something like '[Spoilers] Gravestone Text in Coerthas.' I'm sure anyone who has finished that part of MSQ will know which grave you are talking about.

    On topic, it says nothing in English. All of the text that appears on signs/posters/etc. in the game is in some sort of weird runic alphabet. Idk if it's gibberish or if SE went to the effort of making an actual written language for Eorzean (doubtful) but it's possible it might be some sort of code. My money is on gibberish though. Just try to copy the symbols as best you can.

    To be honest, at that point, once someone sees (SPOILER), they should probably stop reading...But I'll edit it again.

    I'm not sure about *every* sign in the game, but the vast majority are readable. It's 90% English letters with a few reversed letters and odd shapes (eg. the "HQ" item symbol is actually an Eorzean 'S'). You can decipher it by looking at the maps and comparing the symbols to what you know the label should say.

    My only other thought is that a Lalafell player might be able to get a closer look at the gravestone in first-person view.

    It's a runic alphabet, but it transcribes directly to the modern English alphabet. Some of the in-game texts do appear to be non-English or gibberish, yes. But, these are mostly in ruins or things like the Demon Book. Signs in the civilized parts of Eorzea can be read as English when they are legible enough. Given that this tombstone was written by Ishgardians and is very recent, we should be able to read it if anyone can make out the letters.
