What does the Demon Tome say? - Oli! - 09-05-2015 I know the game has a special font that it uses to make things appear like another language, even though the words used are all in English. At least from what I've seen in other places. That said, let's see if we can translate the Demon Tome. RE: What does the Demon Tome say? - Sounsyy - 09-05-2015 Eorzean isn't too difficult if the lettering isn't blurry. I'll take a stab at it when I get off work. Interestingly, someone on tumblr just translated the demon tome from Gubal's 2nd boss and the words are in Dragonspeak! I'll try to post that up in a couple hours as well. But yes, even if the book turns out to be in another language, the words are all real words and not just random lettering. Even arcanist books can be read if you squint hard enough.

RE: What does the Demon Tome say? - Aysun - 09-05-2015 Interestingly this transcription came across my dash today. There's speculation that it may be Dravanian, not just gibberish. For your future reference also.

This text is written in Dragonspeak. Coincidentally, this is also the same text as the book for the 2nd Boss in The Great Gubal Library. Already cross-checked. What does it mean? No clue. There's a lot of talk of death. (Morn = Death? if I remember correctly?) Atomos is mentioned twice. EDIT: Bunch of folks beat me to it. LOL. RE: What does the Demon Tome say? - Kellach Woods - 09-06-2015 Reused assets ho! RE: What does the Demon Tome say? - Sylentmana - 09-08-2015 I thought the Demon Tome would say something like, "Feed me the lost souls of orphaned children...or cookies." RE: What does the Demon Tome say? - Kellach Woods - 09-08-2015 Or, considering it's a reused asset from the 2nd fight, Fuck Ifrit x 9000
