pov there was a cave in during your time at the institute and the archgovernor's son starts looking at you like this

i just like Codes and Ciphers so when i realized that the fantasy text in Tensura (specifically, in the app game, Isekai Memories) corresponded to the roman alphabet and was unable to find said text online, i decided to crack it myself. here's the results, minus a few letters that haven't showed up in canon yet, with sources below the cut if you're curious how i did it!

the first thing i had to go off of was the loading screen, on which the text switches between "NOW LOADING" and this:

which gave me a few letters to get started! so i began applying these letters where i found them again, using signage found around Tempest which gave some other letters via context clues:

and other text scattered throughout the game that also had context clues:

with a good portion of the alphabet assembled, i set out to tackle the mother of all sources - THIS wall of text:

which turned out to be song lyrics and therefore a fantastic Rosetta Stone to fill in most of the blanks.

the devs seem to have used this as Lorem Ipsum as needed, since it crops up a couple more times:

finally, i tackled this monstrosity, and while i didn't get any new letters from this, it did turn out to be something plot-related and is pretty interesting cause it looks like Great Sage actually kinda glitches out for lack of a better phrase?

oh and as of now i have ONE number symbol:

so here is the assembly of letters that leaves me with:

i will def add the rest if they ever crop up in game! but for now that concludes my findings.
