Note : I've decided to shift the contents of my previous post in the casual forum to here, for easier reference!
Some people have requested translations of the dozens of characters in Creation, so here it is. I'm still not too sure on what some of the characters mean, but I'll keep looking into it. If I made any mistakes, feel free to point them out, and any contribution is welcome! A friendly reminder : do stay on topic!
NOTE : This list is from the FP Official Guide. There are errors/repeats which have been corrected.
Credit goes to TheFool for providing additional explanations as to Japanese meanings and corrections.
