    Eternity numerals (5.4 spoilers)

    Just curious if these mean anything or are just some dev's "I thought they looked cool" symbols. Since they're 90 degrees periodic, it would seem they can't merely be a cipher of a 12 hour dial... But there are 24 total positions.

    I doubt it's anything XIV related and more an VIII reference, since that's where like 90% of the battle mechanics come from.

    I like helping people with their Job ideas, it's fun to help them visuallize and create the job they'd like to play most. Plus I make my own too, I'll post them eventually.

    Most of them look like Futhark runes (old Norse runes) as far as I can see, but if they carry any specific meaning or just put there to look cool I don't know.

    Unlikely. The pattern is four sets of six, rather than one set of 24 or two sets of 12 like you'd see on a clock.

    That could still work for a 24 hour clock face. Just more sets of the same numerals, because they're aliens and our standard 2/12 split or 1/24 split doesn't have to apply to them.
