Final Fantasy XV Scenario Ultimania Translation Project — Territory of Tenebrae
This is just a fun little project I’ve been working on in my spare time since the release of Final Fantasy XV and the official Ultimania Guides.
Much of what follows is just supplemental lore for the game but there is huge potential for spoilers within the content. Read at your own risk.
While an interest of mine during college, Japanese is not my native language. I love taking any opportunity to practice and expand my skills. Feel free to expand on the translation.
In Final Fantasy XV, the Territory of Tenebrae is home to the Oracle and her family. You briefly visit Tenebrae later in the story and very little is shared about the area in the main story.
