We Can Finally READ Scala Script!!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 авг 2024
- During the week of the Kingdom Hearts Missing Link Closed Beta I dug through all the footage I could find to decipher the Scala ad Caelum language. We are now 8 characters from fully solving the Latin/Roman portion of the alphabet. There are things that lead me to believe Japanese plays a role in some iterations of the language but it's yet to be uncovered. I'll keep an eye out as I learn more Japanese.

HUGE UPDATE
Someone reached out to me and confirmed that the group I had seen back in the day is still active! Their Discord is "Scala Survivors", formerly "Cracking the Scala Code". They've made more progress than I have, but because it's deeper than I can confidently go due to decoding measures taken, I don’t think I should be the one to share
That said, I will probably take a whack at it in my free time, but it won't be a full time operation by any means.
UPDATE:
I forgot that the lowercase letter b hasn't been found. so at the end when I was talking about the letters "k & v", there's still a b that hasn't been found, meaning that we have EXACTLY enough letters to fill out the alphabet and we aren't missing anything.
I suspect that the "Master's Emblem" is a b because of the image I shared at the end of the "Gra* Note". The only word I can imagine fitting is "Grab Note"
UPDATE 2:
I forgot about another symbol that wasn't showcased in this video at all.. Unfortunately this throws a wrench into the previous update by having an additional candidate for either b, v or k.
If you'd like to stay updated on discoveries or talk about off the wall theories then join my Discord today! :)

When you showed the translated tablet, it kind looked like a chunk of code used in actual coding. I know you mentioned there are references to computers and programming in the KH series. Maybe this is one of them? Can any programmers verify?
@@sillysphinx2330 I will say there is similar "gibberish" seen in terminals used by the Radiant Garden and Twilight Town crew, but I don't have a deep enough understanding to say for sure whether it is or isn't~
doesn't look like any code I've ever seen- no logic to it. It does look like it could possibly be a cipher. @@sillysphinx2330
@@sillysphinx2330 I'm a programmer and it's definitely not code, but it does remind me of Base 64 encoding. It's not that (i already tried) but it might be some other kind of basic encoding or simple encryption (assuming it actually means something).
@@macalao thank you for verifying!!
I absolutely love how once we find the word "the" in any language, fictional and non fictional, we can find damn near everything lmaoo
Which is why hiding the word "the" is essential for any (English) cypher (and quite a few non-English ones), since it tends to have a lot of fundamental letters, meaning once it's known, it opens up so many other translations.
@@SubduedRadical I didn't know this and it makes so much sense. Cyphers and codebreaking is so cool to me. Ty!
@@ZeranZeran It's like Wheel of Fortune: R, S, T, L, N, E they give people for free because of how common those letters are in the language.
The is used so much in English, and it contains T and E, both common letters, as well as H, a pretty common blend letter (th, sh, ch, wh, among others).
The second task in breaking an English cipher is getting all the vowels. Once you have those, you can snowball the rest a lot easier.
Not all languages have it though, for example Japanese, Chinese and Korean.
I actually lost my mind with the Mary Poppins reference omfg 😱
I got your spoonful of sugar, just ask 😏
I speak Japanese! The shika shika thing is actually a different style of romanization.
Si is how shi is romanized in older systems like Nihonshiki and Kunreisiki -notice how in kunreisiki, shi is written as si. It’s also the first form of romaji that kids are introduced to in school, and the most common way Japanese people type Japanese on a keyboard. Typing si will get し or シ, depending on which script you’re trying to type.
So, yes, those letters on the poster most likely say “shika shika” in katakana, but are romanized using an older system.
Also, in Quadratum, there’s a sign that says 消火栓 but in Scala letters. It’s the red lollipop looking thing with 3 Scala letters on it. It translates to fire hydrant ^_^
Very fascinating video!! Great sleuthing ^_^ I’ve been working on translating it with a tumblr mutual who actually sent me a link to this video. I’ll check out the discord!
Thank you so much for your insight 🙏
I didn't correct my audio, but I noticed the katakana portion said シカジカ, I didn't notice this until I was editing. I do wonder if this means Scala ignores Dakuten/Handakuten variations~
Mary Poppins is the Master of Masters confirmed!
This is by far the most interesting and intriguing thing I've found in kingdom hearts lore in a while ty
1:12 Keyblade Wars* or words*??
I had to pause the video because something clicked in me, noticing the Marry popins easter egg, I'm wondering...since we're in a very far back amount of time in Kingdom Hearts missing link, I'm wondering if they'll introduce older movies from Disney into missing link. I mean the possibilities are endless I know, but I'm just imagining how far back they'll even go.
I really wonder the same, because I’d imagine they’d want to appeal to a new audience but I’d love older IP. I’m on board for anything really!
I started a reddit post in 2019 trying to decipher it. im so fucking glad we FINALLY can decipher it
WE CAN READ NOW! LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOO
Everything changed when I got diagnosed with Keratoconus
For a second when he said he made a connection, it would play the reconnect kingdom hearts.
Missed opportunity LOL
12:07 if you read it out loud it sounds like Korean
I am so confused and mystified. Amazing job finding this!
definitely feels korean
How much dedication do you want in this game
SE: Y E S
They own my wallet, what can I say
Oboi, cant wait to learn a whole new, fictional language to talk to other kh fans and no other languages
Abandon English, obtain cryptic glyphs 🙏
Losing my mind all so good I am so gonna practice!!!!!!
Put that mind back where it came from or so help me! 👁️
10:10
In Japan, they also use a different romanization system called Kunrei-s(h)iki in addition to the Hepburn-shiki system that most of the world uses for the Japanese language.
Where し and シ are transcribed as si instead of shi. (No difference in pronunciation, just spelling)
However when the sound "si" from other languages is transcribed it usually does become シ is Japanese still
This is one of the main things I was excited to get from ML was seeing if we could get most of the alphabet, and here it is! This is so cool.
I wasn't expecting all the information to just be RIGHT there in front of us lolol
@@iAyeCaptainKai Nomura really got us by mixing English and romanized Japanese-English pronunciation into this alphabet
I laughed so hard at the end of your findings. What a build up haha
I'm rooting for you guys ❤
I love this! How much dedication and time fans like yourself pour love and time into the lore and language of KH.
I did translation work on the KH3 scala, i think i was the first to post the numbers on KH13. I ended up concluding that the rest was likely a japanese substitution cypher, as many of the boards didnt make sense as an english cypher.
After watching your video though, i think it may be both. The characters might represent both english and japanese characters, switching between the two languages sporatically, or kh3 might have japanese and missing link might have english.
It’s nice to finally have some answers 😭 I’ve been obsessed with Scala text once I learned there were people trying to decipher it.
Interesting analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
I saw your FF13 video a while back, thanks for the amazing video again
Thank you for the kind words 🙏 Hoping my next few videos can live up 🤪
Just seen your tweet and vid, awesome work !!! And to be a small part of this feels like
A huge honour :) my excitement for the next chapter is snowballing and you made it more so ❤
I caught a few of your streams ^•^ it was a lot of fun!
I was keeping a watchful eye for any Scala text I could see lolol
Hope when this gets deciphered I can use it as a font
I put together a very scuffed font for this video, I’ll see if I can put it in my Discord server~ I say scuffed cause it doesn’t scale well, but looks fine small
Awesome video! It’s insane how we now have an entire language specific to kh 🤣
1:57
I'm interested in a video about the computer terms in kh
I know KH basically used quantum mechanics for how Hearts works
2:34
The Zodiac is important in FF. But also the Zodiac was used in KH0.2 because in Disney Snow White the evil Queen had them around her mirror.
But i do think KH will make it important
I’m thinking I have enough information to make an interesting video on the programming stuff, but it’ll be a moment as I have a few other videos in the pipeline I want to tackle first
That’s good to know, I need to get my Disney knowledge up so I don’t mix interpretations. There’s a lot I don’t know in that space and we all know what “one who knows nothing” is good for
What? It used quantum mechanics? Are you sure? I don’t remember any mention of eigenstates or anything like that...
(Though tbf I’ve never actually *played* any of the games.)
@@iAyeCaptainKai
So I no joke found out about the zodiac signs being in Snow White. By reading Kilala Princess back in the day. I noticed them in the art of the mirror. So I pop in my family's copy of the movie and buzzed to the scene and low and behold there they where.
@@drdca8263 i see it as more of a magical version of quantum entanglement like how data sora, both trons, and both version of the twilight gang, can affect each other
@@noravanguard3993 quantum entanglement doesn’t actually have the two things that are entangled have an influence on each-other in the way that popularizations often depict. Instead, it is more like, a special kind of correlation, that is beyond what can be done with classical probability.
If you do some local actions to one end of an entangled pair, this won’t have any effect on the the probability distribution of results of local measurements done on the other side of the local pair. It may, however, have major effects on measurements which involve both parts, changing how the two are correlated.
If you say it loud enough you'll only sound precocious
THIS is amazing and so much fun I'm gonna go crazy with scala its just fun
I’m happy you enjoyed the video 🥳 I love Scala script so much, been obsessed with it since around the time I saw Quadratum littered with it~
8:50 Mary Poppins?? No way
9:09
Oh
My
GOOFY!!!
XD
Bro no way, i remember gamersjoint did a vid when these guys first started i cant believe how far its come
Pretty sure the placard is Korean with a cipher for X, theres a few visually noticeable things like something that looks like Larxene and Marluxia. additionally the first line seems like a poster stating in cipher something to do with a 28 year old or a timespan of 28 years and some Korean esque parts I swear one part in the beginning says " Once ____ gibberish Great City, where is it now." or something to that effect when translated from broken possible Korean to english.
I’m not sure if it helps, but all of the “x” that I assumed are actually the letter j, I have an updated graph on my community post! Also been updating things as we go in the Discord if you’re interested in going deeper 😄
Here's the best I got out of converting the letters to Hangul with software~ I'm not super familiar with Hangul so I don't see me making sense out of it

honestly it’s amazing how people can just…figure this out 😮
I've never played Missing Link, but I felt this entire video. These are all of the joys and frustrations we have in Final Fantasy 14 trying to translate stuff. Protip if you do play FFXIV: There is more than Eorzean for you to decipher. However, it does come with all of the frustrations shown here.(and then some!)
Missing link isn't really out yet, only beta testers can play for now.
Can't wait for it to come out tho
@@AnotherGeek.... That explains why I haven't played it, but my points still stand.
Ooooh I wasn’t aware that 14 had a script to translate~ I’ve played through ARR, but it has void stuff I want to experience to deepen my understanding.
But yeah I haven’t played Missing Link either, I just obsessively looked through footage to find answers 🤪
This is amazing.
IKR?! I've been dying to share this information for 2 weeks now 😭
The last portion may be Base64 code, a computer language that can be decrypted if your find the right letters to find a hidden message.
Amazing work! It's really interesting, are you saying that Quadratum has a different language from Scala?
Hard to say, because Quadratum has that Void poster I mentioned~ hopefully the solution comes to us
The "Sika Sika" thing is likely more just of a quirk of romanization. The character し (shi) can be romanized either way technically, due to the pronunciation being somewhere kind of in between.
Someone brought this up to me recently and it only makes me question more why ジ was also used for potentially the same character 🤔
There are a lot of X's on the tablet. I wonder if removing them and scrambling the text or applying a cypher would solve it- like the organization names being Roxas = Sora etc
I also see UX repeated a few times throughout. Which isn’t only just an acronym for Union x~ UX is a type of digital design called “User Experience”
There’s also two words that look eerily similar to Larxene and Marluxia
@@iAyeCaptainKaiI was thinking the same. When reading the writing I saw myself subconsciously unscrambling some of them to be Larxene/marluxia
@@Bruh-ii2mp Seeing Ux repeated makes me think it's a homophonic cipher, but I am not super familiar with cipher text outside of simple substitution~ It appears the folk in Scala Survivors discord are making progress! It's almost scary seeing it start to make sense 😱
@@iAyeCaptainKai what discord?
@Bruh-ii2mp discord.gg/CYXhBCXu is where their discoveries are being made
My guess is the master's symbol is K and in the clip you showed it was at the end of what could be the word "book" and the rest of the Scala text could be prophecy. Maybe look at Greek text since final fantasy has used it before and maybe it would help to demystify. χ they love using chi lol also loved how u tried it with the falcie and that still to this nobody gets that it's basically the word Fallacy meaning a lie
I would love to see one day the translation sheet that Square uses to write those things
have you tried getting someone into cryptanalysis to have a look at this? if it really is just a different alphabet for english text, with enough text available, it should be possible to decrypt stuff based on a statistical analysis of how frequently each symbol appears and which symbols tend to come together.
Super cool thing dude!
This isn’t the same script as was used in the book of prophesies, is it?
I seem to remember those being different scripts.
I’m glad to hear that at least one of the two scripts have been largely deciphered!
Yeah that’s a completely different script, I’m unsure that anyone has really tried in a while to decode that. The Scala Survivors (formerly Cracking the Scala Code) have reached out to me and they’re trying to crack the tablet as we speak. They’ve made some interesting breakthroughs it seems 😱
the eariler titles even have scala ad caluem text kh1 even has scala text as well in traverse town
maybe somehow thanks to that, you could finf the master's name from Yen Sid's board or anywhere that could happen?
The numbers definitely are related to the houses of the zodiac
And it seems like they show us the way the change through the years numerically through game etc.
10:15 DearDeer Coffee??
XD
2:36 The same ones also appear in BBS
The "void" is simular to the "The Daisy Of Death". Kinda similar to the "The Flower of Life". I wonder if the dandelions was just by random name but then there marluxia.maybe we see more flower elements to astrology elements???
Hehehe look forward to my upcoming video, I plan to discuss this 😈
@@iAyeCaptainKai tetsuya always leaves small details ✨️ 👌 ❤️
Most likely that last bit is a ceaser cipher or base64 encoding.
The unversed symbol could be V. Since the unversed are tied with ventus and vanitas however. I kinda think it could be M
I was wondering how are you guys translating this text. Now, that I look at it I can see how alot of it makes sense.
Just don’t look at KH3, almost none of it makes sense lolol
seeka seeka?
seeker...!!
My god… 😨
I’ll take a dark sika coffee today please
10:25 I bet people told you one million times already but Sika is also romanization, Kunrei romanization, a lot of japanese prefer that one for some reason. it's just pronounced Shika
OMFG FINALLY!!!!!!
1:39 accident?
7:02 don’t know if you know or not but the video you showed there is a mod showcase and not what thunder looks like in FF14
oop, I was not aware
Mary Poppins world in Kingdom Hearts IV? XD
That 5th line of the tablet seems to start with Xemnas/Xehanort smth smth. So its probably a anagram of the events that are recorded on said tablet, only that the letters are jumbled up. Pretty sure you alr know this but the back panels show a small picture story when they are first turned around when you are required to line up the lights to solve its initial puzzle while collecting kairi's heart pieces. So this final panel is probably a telling of the shown events but in Scala text form. And speaking of Zodiacs, look at the foretellers, literally all animals that could be linked to zodiac stuff. Maybe Twilight town mansion has some clues from our Unicorn boy for the symbols?? but thats longshot territory, just my 2 cents here idk.
The fact that Keyblade wielders are tied to this language, and it shows up in both Twilight Town and Radiant Garden makes me think they had an involvement to some degree in tampering with said worlds. Maybe not the foretellers, but we know subject x appeared in RG, maybe the old text was extracted by Ansem the Wise and since he’s tied to the mansion he carried it over? 🤔def something to think about
It’s also safe to assume both Yen Sid and Merlin know the script as well so they could be partially to blame
The leopard isn't a constellation as far as I know.
Some of the fragments look like larxene and marluxia too
Need the CoD zombies community’s help with that tablet 🤪
The Scala Survivors (formerly Cracking the Scala Code) seem like they’re making decent progress, hard to say but the cipher they’ve got going is making too much sense and is kind of scary
AMAZING
Have you done the book of prophecy?
Woahh 🎉

The letter E sure is showing up a lot and seems important…. Maybe the MoM’s real name starts with E?
My bets are on Markiplier E 🤯
I have been waiting!!!!! A A A A I
I'VE BEEN DYING TO SHARE THIS FOR 2 WEEKS EEEEEEE
I'm so excited to have this out finally
@@iAyeCaptainKai HAPPY YOU GOT OT OUT EVERYTHING IS SO EXCITING🤩✨
Oh no. Not another KH lore hiding behind translation. This is becoming too much. 😂
I love FF13 too❤
Some things, very cool. Other things, way to farfetched.
Another FF13 lover? That's a subscribe from me.
I’m obsessed, but I’ve been putting off my LR play through for the last year, probably gonna get back to it next month
