Content Error in Encyclopaedia Eorzea III?

[StovetopRamen]

Greetings, all!

Quick question for anyone who has had a chance to take a look at vol. 3 of Encyclopaedia Eorzea. On page 52, the book shows a comparison of alphabets between Norvrandt, Eorzea, and a postulated Proto-Alphabet (that we now know is being used in Dawntrail) which branched into the two.

Example of alphabets from consolegameswiki which matches what is in EE3

However, I couldn't help but notice that, for the lowercase alphabets, most of the letters for Norvrandt and Eorzea are identical, while both are different from the Proto-Alphabet. The only different letters appear to be in the top row, along with the leftmost letter of each subsequent row. I thought it seemed a bit odd given that the rest of Norvrandt's letters look a lot more geometric (almost like comparing Katakana to Hiragana for Japanese), so I went ingame to try to find more examples of writing in Norvrandt to see if that was the case.

In the Crystarium, there are a few "No Entry" signs which do seem to contain letters that are not displayed in the encyclopaedia (the T and the R, for example) which leads me to believe that the encyclopaedia itself contains a printing/content error.

Does anyone else have a copy which looks different? I am curious to know if there may have been a difference in batches, or if everyone is seeing the same thing that I am.

Iscah and I were just saying the same thing, actually; it looks to me like when someone was making the visual asset for the page, they were taking a methodical approach - did the top row and the left column - and then somehow the task got interrupted and the rest didn't get done. (Baseless hypothesis.)
