One of the Biggest Kingdom Hearts Mysteries Solved 

The internet is undefeated man🤣 we really deciphering ancient keyblade text now

My theory is that it's a combination of English letters and Japanese kanji, like what they did with the symbols in Digimon, at least for KH3. Maybe shifting to primarily English for missing link and KH4.

As a member of the scala community, we even chased down the original creator of the script. And whats funny, is that ORIGNALLY it wasnt ment to be decoded. It was intended to be a cool "what could it say" situation. Weve been working with Kai in these new findings as well and i have been doing some offhand work with the blue billboard (ive gotten relevant phrases off it) the situation is very fluid and we welcome any and all input

Hi there! Thank you so much for the shoutout; we really appreciate it!! At the moment, only 3 letters are unsolved, and those are X, J, and Q. We're not sure which Z character is uppercase and which is lowercase, but we do know both exist. It's also important to note that there are many errors in Scala-English because those errors are the same that native Japanese speakers commonly make when writing in English. That's why "King Load" is written in the ML screenshot; it's meant to say "King Road." We've got a few more letters to add to Kai's key; I'm pretty sure he'll update them soon. I'm working together with Televo, Kai, Scala Survivors, and others to decipher the other two scripts found in Scala and Quadratum, though those are much more difficult (the cursive version and the modern-looking font). We're also working to make them fully functioning fonts that can be downloaded(the Scala ad Caelum version can be found on Televo's site, albeit with a few errors because we hadn't yet deciphered some letters when they last released the current live version). We've identified all of the individual letters in those scripts as far as we can tell; it's a matter of figuring out what English (or Japanese) equivalents there are! Two of the posters in KH3, the Flower Gift one and the Concert one, actually have full, comprehensible sentences in accurate Japanese, albeit rendered in romaji. I hate to be like "Go check out my twitter" but I have the translated posters uploaded in my media there, including those that are in Japanese. I've gotten some help from the Japanese side of the fandom as well with making sure those are accurate. Thank you for the signal boost!

We making it out of Rosetta Stone with this one🔥🔥🔥

7:23 That lower-case "y" looking reeeeaaaaalllly familiar. That's the symbol Terra wears as his belt loop, Ven and Aqua have on the intersection of the belts across their chests, Odin's belt loop, Eraqus's armor, and Dark Road's version of Young Xehanort's belt loop.

First Scala and Missing Link's alphabet will be completely solved then Quadradum's real world alphabet will be next.

The fact that there was a world leak list on Reddit over a year ago alleging Mary Poppins was going to be a KH4 world really has me scratching my head now..

I’m now imagining Mary Poppins being a wandering Keyblade master, helping budding Keybearers become their best (and worthy) selves.

KH2 had its own alphabet too but it seems to be single case and I don't know if it means anything since there isn't enough of it to figure it out.

Barque might also be an intentional mistake. The Baroque society is described as kind of the lazy/not as good society. Maybe the name being misspelled is meant to reflect that. Or they’re just shortening it. Or it’s a genuine mistake on the developers end. Who knows?

Mary Poppins makes sense. The main Scala ad caelum stroll around song already sounds suspiciously like that chim-chimmeny song from that same movie

I remember that the community was supposed to know some of this because the X, meaning 4 the hint for 20th anniversary puzzle.

It reminds me of back in the day when I played ffX and I was writing down al bhed language to understand it when I didn't find all the books

It's funny that Final Fantasy X taught us how to self-translate a language.

For the word Barque, in french it means boat( little boat/save boat). Idk if its mean to be understood as in French but this would mean that the place is a barque for the lost/strander ones. Like the MC is an others, Nep is apparently a not so appropriated probably bc he's recruiting whoever he see need a place to be safe.

I still will never not be mad about how Scala was hyped up in a trailer.. only for it to be the final boss arena.

I’m just waiting for Nomura to be like “shit guys they are learning we have to change everything to complete gibberish so they don’t spoil anything”

I feel like that the text in Scala at the end of 3 doesn't make sense cause its such a short part of kh 3 (base game) only to house the final boss fight against Xehanort, while in Missing Link it seems were gonna be spending alot of time in Scala

You keep making vids about topics right after I discover them like you’re consistently barely too late it’s hilarious 😂

Just wait until the internet figures out how many potatoes Sora has eaten in canon in his lifetime

even erailer kingdom hearts titles on kh1 kh2 have scala language as well

We solved the language!?

I think its super cool as well that some of these symbols are things weve seen throughout most of the games. things that didn't mean much in terms of language but now they do

I kinda wonder if it was meant to translate into Japanese first, then we could translate it to English. It would be interesting what the Japanese fans make of this. Like I would like to know what method they're using to try to decode it.

What if you translated Scala into Japanese, then into English?

"Uh... Sorry, I dont speak Scalitalian."

I hope we get some Brain, Ephemer and Skuld lore and I love that Remus is Lea’s ancestor, that Nept is Isa or Aqua’s ancestor and Freya is Riku’s ancestor or she’s just gonna become a time traveler like Brain and his chirithy

It's such a breath of fresh air to hear your voice again + a new video release after months of no recommendations on my feed

I remember would love for Square to release a book that shows the symbols and what letter they correspond with so we could use the book to understand all the different texts through Scala or any other worlds it may end up in and even let us learn how to write in that way for us to communicate with other KH fans who learn the text.....I think that would be a great idea

Finally, we have our own language just like Zelda Fans. IMAGINE THE TATTOOS!

Yoooo, had a lot of fun digging through screenshots and video during the first beta! Was hoping to do more sleuthing this week but silly ol’ me had vacation planned so it’ll have to wait. P.s. lowkey fan girling 🙏

I thought for sure you were about to tell us Missing Link revealed that Sora's mom was the mayor of Scala Ad Caelum or something

I put some of that blue/purple sign into GPT to translate it and I got back the resulting text: KLYMENSE REYNARDS OF ALEXANDRIA. PROUD HOME OF MAGISTRATES AND SCHOLARS. I believe there's more on it than what it was able to gather on first pass, but it's neat. Reynards reminds me a lot of the word Reynantis...but I could be reaching on that.

Something i want to mention about fictional language is that it doesnt always translate straight into english. For example, some of the chozo script seen in metroid dread and its marketing translates to the chozo language. For example, "metroid" is an english aproximation of the word, in chozoan its more pronounced and spelled "mathroid". Considering so many words have already been directly translated into english, and a lot of the jibberish signs and words dont even form pronouncable words/have numbers and symbols in them, i dont think this is the case for ancient keyblade language. However its just something to keep in mind. Regardless if you want to know more about chozoan, i highly recommend checking out the wiki page for it as well as the numerous videos that have been made about the subject. A lot of effort was put into that language, especially when its not very prominent outside of the hardcore nerds of the metroid fandom haha.

Awsome! Maybe there are some puzzles hidden in the lettermixes

I've always been interested in the language. Super cool to see all this progress!

@TheGamersJoint is asking you to make a video with all the intros you've ever had nice and neatly together? I've been a huge fan for 5 years and I just loved the intros to your vids 😊

I'm pretty sure that the 2 crossing bars with a little diamond on the top left is a "q" "J" and "X" it's almost certain that it's the right one the other i have my doubt, since one of them it's probably not actual letter

Damn, its like deciphering the Unown language from Pokemon xD

this is awesome to see i was always curious about these symbals during the dlc looking around seeing if they could be translated even asking around but sadly no one knew i remember seeing them pop up during the credits along side the english names of the staff made me think those are what they translated to, its amazing to see how far people have come

What i think is since sora is in the world of fiction, it may be the same symbols for letters in scala ad caelum but the order of that alphabet might be rearranged

Cool, so when can I start ordering my Scala decoder ring?

This is fantastic! I'm so glad people are figuring this out. Major kudos to them. Honestly, I just kind of assumed the language was largely decorative, I guess. It's cool to hear that there's some actual content hidden in there. Thank you for the video! God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)

I’m just curious why scalem looks different from dark road and kh3

3:44 Barra que? Baroke my man

At 3:43 "BARQUE" mean a little boat in french its like a little boat where most of the time one to four people in it, you can see one in the cinematic with Rapunzel and Flyyn when they release the lantern.

I foresee that the second arc of Kingdom Hearts will replace 100 Acre Wood with Mary Poppins's dandy chalk world in Kingdom Hearts IV-VI as the mini-game world. There is no point in keeping Winnie the Pooh around since they covered all his books. ^_^

Your thumbnails spells heart (which is a nice touch to the video) but it looks like it should spell "MEmes"

Mary Poppins is the same species as Pennywise but instead of fear she feeds off of the joy of children

Thank God for that. I remember going through on release, and snapping screenshots of everything I could find in a desperate attempt to crack it lmao. Which sucked, since you had to do it while fighting the replica norts!

it could be mostly jibberish for visuals, with some real hidden messages buried amongst. or maybe more like hieroglyphics than an alphabet of individual letters. or like characters in Chinese that can have their own individual meaning but then have a different meaning when combined in a certain way with other symbols? might be easier for Japanese or Chinese fans to decipher it?

This is one of the reasons why it's taking so long to release new numbered titles. They are taking time to put stuff like this in the game that nobody gives a damn about. Absolutely ridiculous.

I wonder if those 15 books at 1:27 is a reference to the final fantasy series

This reminds me of the inkling language in the Splatoon series. This is because of we've been able to translate it, which has lead to us finding a shirt in it a jellyfish wears that says "fuck you" on it lol, and the fact that it was made to just have an in game font that wasn't english or japanese or any other human language, but then was given some sort of rym and reason in the next game in the series to use it so it is no longer like someone smashed their keyboard.

I have to wonder if the community is looking at it all wrong and that viewing it as an english language instead of something far more exotic and therefore less comprehended like Sanskrit or what have you is actually what Nomura intended. As we all know he's a bit of a hack but even I don't think he'd just do a 1-1 english letter to symbol if he and his team WERE going to develop a whole new language. Could just be that english isn't the guiding key that everyone expects.

wait so theres been a cypher hunt going on and I didn't know?? I am shattered..

Honestly? Mary Poppins would be a dope ass summon tho

I hope they put marry poppins in kh4 I loved that movie as a kid

I want a font of it.

6:29 “Kion”. It’s probably nothing, but I can’t help but wonder… Pride Lands return in KH4?

The Solaceon Ruins trained me for this

They need an honorary BA in Linguistic Studies, focus on Ancient Languages 😂

What I’m curious about, is why does it correspond to English and not Japanese?

What i want to know is how do you people find this stuff out? Got too much time on your hands it seems nice work 😂👍

So what are the unversed and the eraqus symbols supposed to mean ? From my understanding of the graphs at 3:25, the eraqus is a lowercase Y and the Unversed is still not 100% confirmed ? I've always wondered if they really meant something or if they're """placeholders""" for real symbols that will be added in later games Also, the last symbol that is simply named "?" looks kinda similar to this kanji 斗 (which can be read as "TÔ") i guess ?

No way. That’s insane

Now this is pod racing 🔥🔥🔥

Now all we know is WHAT'S IN THE F*CKING BOX

Someone needs to make it an installable phone font on Android.

this isn't a language though it's just a font

I was really hoping this was gonna be about his mom lol

I thought you was going to talk about sora mom 😂

hi TheGamersJoint

6:26 oN jiNga 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥

i've been waiting fo rthe alphabet to be deciphered since KH3's release!!!!

It’s probably more to it once you figure out letter maybe you have to rearrange them to spell something lol either way seems complicated but that is kingdom hearts charm

Woot woot woot woot!

I know what's in the black box. I figured out who the master of masters is. And I figured out why sora is special. I cracked the code

this is really cool

Dayum I clicked so fast!!!!

i clicked as soon as i read the title

Oh God it's just Hylian language all over again

hey that cheff sign that says KH3DB dinng, maybe means kingdom hears3 dinning, dunno what DB would mean i can only think DARK BALL BUT IT MAKES ME WONDER is it really gibberish or is it coded messages

It's not a language. It's a font. The nonsense could be because part of it is encrypted, I suppose, but there's no guarantee of that. Do we know if the japanese version of the games have their own scala text, or is all the understandable stuff in English?

IM MARY POPPINS YALL 😂😂😂

Maybe the dificult of translations is because it only make sense in Japanese alphabet?

I’m not usually this early :)

If they took out the final fantasy characters they can take out the disney characters.

Isn't it weird that it's translated into English instead of Japanese...?

Stellar blade videos whennnnn

Why don't the developers just tell us this stuff?

That doesn't seem substantial in any way.

We solved the sacred code?

what if the scala language is supposed to be translated in to japanese, or a dirffrent language🤔

kh fans are insane at doing research(6:27 that sound like swear word)

Cool

They need to let this be an actual language that us kh fans can speak 😂

Through out this video I have been wondering about something: "Why would the Scala language translate into English?" I mean: These games are created mostly in japanese and then translated by localisers into various languages, right? So what would all those Scala symbols actually translate if they woud to primarily be translated into Japanese? 🤔

6:27 THE H0RR0R!!! 😱 They used the J-Word! 😟
