    I'm not Greek but I was under the impression that Pagos, Pyros, and Anemos were Ancient Greek, which reads vastly different from modern Greek.


    So, if we use the word ''eureka'' as what it actually is, a verb, Anemos, Pagos, and Pyr, would have to be swapped to their accusative forms, namely, ''Anemon'', ''Pagon'' and ''Pyr'', in order to form the phrase ''I found Wind / Ice / Flame''
    You're reading TOO deep into it. Eureka was the name of an optional dungeon in FF3. It was underneath the crystal tower and it contained the sealed ultimate weapons for each job, and the 2 ultimate jobs of Ninja and Sage. It isn't supposed to translate to "I found: Fire/Wind/Ice".

    At the end of the day, they draw upon languages but ultimately they stylize it to be fantasy not to be accurate. Most of the Hingan/Doman words are bastardizations of Japanese too. They change it slightly so it resembles Japanese but isn't completely accurate, because this is Hydaelyn and not Earth.
