Mt Nibel Jenova Room Question

[ChrisReno]

When you walk in the room of Jenova during the flashback at kalm on the floor it says Jenova but what is supposed to be under that. It looks like it says covid19. Please lmk thanks

Ah yes, it really was geostigma all along. I knew it.

 

[Torrie]

I've been joking since spring that covid is the new geostigma. Sad but true.

 

[Sprites]

Uhhh.......

 

[ChrisReno]

What does it look like to you guys?

 

[Torrie]

Do you mean this? I have no idea



The New Threat mod upscaled it a little, but it doesn't help much. Still illegible.

 

[Odysseus]

It's easier to read on this version zoom in) :


I'm seeing "FSD-COVKƱNO"

Can't believe i'm asking this but this but maybe its because I want to feel justified in what I will probably respond with.

@ChrisReno can you at least clarify why you've asked if it says Covid19.

This combo of letters reminds me of the German word "Kopfkino". Literally means "head cinema", or "mental cinema", or "one mind's eye". It's like when some situation makes your imagination run wild (in spite of what Urban Dictionary says, it doesn't have to be disgusting though).

Spoiler: Foreshadowing, anyone?

Taking into account that this bit of the story is told from Cloud's POV... Yep, it's all in his head.

 

[Odysseus]

Even if unintentional, that's shockingly thematically relevant lol. I really think it's just some gibberish they put there to make it look more interesting though.

 

[SailorStarDust]

Whoa, that little detail is pretty awesome if legit. Great thread-read!

I was replaying the game and was reading it and couldn't figure out what was written. The only thing I could piece together was covid 19. Had the Cov and looks like a 19 at the end. I dont think its a conspiracy I just want to know what it says

Thank you! So its basically an translation issue thats supposed to be spelled kopfkino.

 

[Fade]

So, what we're suggesting is that it basically says...Jenova Dreamweaver?

No, I bet it's just a funny coincidence

So its basically an translation issue thats supposed to be spelled kopfkino.

To be honest, I don't think it really says kopfkino either. Just another coincidence. It rather looks like a number of random Greek letters, just like @Odysseus stated above. And we all know that there's a certain affinity for Greek letters in the world of FF7 (e.g. the way years and centuries are written: the events in Nibelheim take place in the year εуλ 0002).

Jenova Dreamweaver?

It's all coming together
