That Mysterious Scroll in Besaid Temple
I got some bigger pictures of that wall hanging I was puzzling over. It's a bit more legible now, but its meaning isn't any clearer.
Trying to read this is like trying to read an eye chart and needing glasses, and unfortunately, as far as I can tell, it doesn't translate into anything. The big letters are A and Z, which show up paired at the top and bottom of things in several places throughout Spira to represent Yevon and Sin, respectively. I thought it might be the Hymn of the Fayth, given the way the characters are spaced like words if you read them vertically, but when translated it just came out as gibberish. :(
I deciphered (to the best of my ability) the top line going horizontally and then a few lines vertically and didn't get much out of it:
A
E M B D O U U H G I
N H N
? ? V
- I ?
H G K
F L
Z - Y
Z
Here's the Yevon alphabet, if anyone else wants to try translating this.
Hopefully we'll get a clearer look at it in the HD version. Until then I'm going to assume it was meant to be a prayer or the Hymn and they developers just didn't bother putting in accurate characters because they didn't count on it actually being read.
