I got the special outfit in El Shaddai. I am taking advantage of it to watch the bosses...
...and to see if I can place the exact type of sandal Enoch wears, since nothing else is covering his feet with this outfit.
Also: the written language in the game seems oddly...consistent for what I originally assumed was a fictionalized text based on languages from that era and area.
So now I am looking closer at it to see if I can't at least identify it. (I think there is a shift in it between the start of the 300-year-skip and the end, as there well should be, which only makes me want to decipher it further.
And I start...with the stuff on this poster.
Which was doubtless designed by Armaros. Who is flashier than Enoch and his theatrical battling in absolutely every regard. So the letters are obviously stylized and not neat, simple print because that's not the way Armaros does things.
Most I can tell, it's largely based in Aramaic with some elements of modern Hebrew and Arabic.
Well, what else can you expect from a society that's been isolated for 300+ years? It might well be a waste of time, but I want to find that out for myself before dismissing it.
Because I am too into dissecting details.
