This is romaji. It plays on a ticker screen in Chronopolis battle areas.

Pierre's Hero's Medal trick, and the real thing:
(http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/1/19/Hero_Medal.png)
This has to be an acknowledgment that Pierre's medal is different from Frog's?

Holy Tech circle. Any significance?

Fargo's Invincible tech signs. Anyone recognize the kanji?

Library battle scene thumbnail. One of these exists for a LOT of battle locations, but I have no idea what they're used for. This one even depicts a couple Acacia Dragoons in Viper Manor's study!
(http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/1/19/Lucca%5C%27s_House_Portrait_1.png)
Previously unknown portrait. It was with Lucca's house data, but I don't recognize it.

The "other" Lucca painting, which has already been discussed.

Faces...in the Temporal Vortex or something?
(http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/a/a4/Terra_Dragonia_Tile.png) (http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/1/1e/Terra_Twer_Tile.png)
Tiles in Fort Dragonia and Terra Tower. Do they depict anything?
-
That first kanji looks like the ten symbol. Assuming it's the right symbol, it means heavenly.
-
You guys are my heroes, it looks like you never sleep or work (go to college or high school in some cases). Will those textures have as much meaning as i hope? Yeah, the teories about would be kickass, mate!! Congrats!!!
-
The Kanji is Tenka Muteki (天下無敵 てんかむてき), literally "invincible under heaven" or to put it colloquially, something like "the strongest on earth."

Dead Sea traffic sign. Says "Ginza"?
Apparently, Ginza is the name of a district of Tokyo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginza

Looks very Greek to me. Possibly something about the Fates?

If that's Greek, it seems rather strange, as it would appear the middle word ends with a lambda. Not many words end with lambdas in Greek. Actually, can't think of any off hand. But the characters look somewhat Greek. Were they clearer, and were they Greek, I could probably translate.

Forgive me if I shouldn't be posting in this topic since it's pretty much a dead thread, but I really wanted to share some things I thought would (possibly) be helpful/interesting. Well, here's my 2¢:
(http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/4/4c/Dead_Sea_Logo.png)
If you look at it close up you notice that these are a bunch of Latin letters overlapping each other. If the more readily identifiable letter (usually the one on top) takes precedence, then it seems to spell out "pehraandeal" or "pepraandeal". Sounds somewhat like the English word "prandial" but I doubt that has much relevance as it refers to a meal...
Going very far out on a limb, the second spelling almost sounds like "Pay plan deal", which could mean something, but I think I'm just trying too hard. ;)
(http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/5/56/Dead_Sea_Traffic_Sign.png)
As it was pointed out Ginza is a location in Tokyo, but it maybe be coincidental because the rest is gibberish:
BPLED KIAO MCA
FYBBEH FWH
FDJHB QFHJ
QJH FQH QHJJ
As a side note, most of the Dragonian Tablets seem to be just gibberish of randomly put together Latin letters.
(http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/a/a0/Library_Scene.png)
If you look close up you can see the characters in the pic are Serge, Kid and the Shaker Brothers. I've have no clue what they're used for; just wanted to point out that little factoid in case it wasn't obvious.
(http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/4/45/Unknown_Tech.png)
It appears to say something about "Chief Measurements". I say 'appears' because I'm not entirely certain about the first Kanji...It's something to do with measurements, though.
(http://www.chronocompendium.com/images/wiki/8/83/ChronopolisText.png)
I'm pretty sure there are a few mistakes with this romanji. "Ha" should be "wa" etc, and "jkanno" makes about as much sense as "kwyjibo" ;)
Writting it as "koko wa evhal jkanno gunnjri you o okonatte imasu kanari yabai yo" makes it easier to read, but it's missing at least two vowels, probably three, and "evhal" isn't a word in any language I know of.
Extrapolating from the data a bit, I came up with: "koko wa EVIL jikan no gun no jiri you o okonatte imasu kanari yabai yo" which is a possible sentence and could be loosely translated as "There are evil agents of time carrying out calamaities here; it's quite dangerous!". Someone with more knowledge about Japanese might be able to make more helpful progress in this area, but I thought I'd lend however much of a hand I could.
I hope that was worth posting! :D
-
Very much so; thanks! We like zombie threads here, especially when they turn up new info and observations.
-
whoa XABY! good job with the translating...
i found the last translation (the one about the 'calamities') uber interesting...
-
Yeah, thanks a ton. I thought the Chronopolis text would forever be one of those things we'd never get the truth for.
-
I think Square originally intended this for us to be read ingame, but in the end, the graphics were too low to be able to.

:cry:
Nice to meet you. I am Japan chrono fan.
While studying English, I am getting through this wonderful site.
The message of the banner appearing in Chronopolis is in Japanese
「kokoha,evhal.jikanno,gunjiriyouwo,okonatte,imasu.kanari,yabai-----yo.(ここはエヴァル。時間の軍事利用をおこなっています。かなりやばい-----よ。)」
I think that will become.
In English''Here is evhal. We are doing military use of time. It's terrible dangerous.''
'' Jikanno '' means ''of time ''
Because I could not find the exact thread, please forgive me to write here.
-
Welcome to the Compendium! Glad you could join us.
Thanks for the translation. I'm still not sure what "evhal" could be. Maybe a name. In any case, the message appears to be a generic warning.
-
Thank you for welcoming us.
After that, when I looked up the meaning of "evhal", I understood that it is the name of a woman used in Indonesia.
In the site that translates it was translated as ''Coatings" and ''Places" in Turkish.
I did not know which country it is, but I hope it becomes a hint.
-
My guess would be that "evhal" is supposed to be "evil". "eval", which is shorthand for "evaluate" or "evaluation", is a slightly closer match phonetically but makes no sense in context. Anyway, it could be a typo or a genuine misunderstanding of how the English word is pronounced.
