Trivia

The model for Gorre in the Games Tetralogy features the following in Futhark:

ᛗᛟᚱᚾᛁᚾᚷ ᛗᚢᛋᚢᛗᛖ ᛗᛁᛏᛟᛗᚨ ᚳᛟᚢᛏᚨᚱᛟᚢ ᛏᛟ ᛏᚺᛖ ᚺᚨᛋᛋᛟᛗᚨᚾᛁ ᚾᛁᛁᛉᚨᛏᛟᚺᛁᚱᛟᛏᛟᛏᛁᚾᛈ

This can be read in the Latin/English alphabet as:

morning musume mitoma koutarou to the hassomani niizatohirototinp

This explicitly names Mitoma, Kotaro and Niizato, Hiroto. It is assumed that this text was made during development as an in-joke or Easter Eggs, as this text isn't readable through regular play and requires extracting and examining the games files. It can be assumed that one of the two made this Easter Egg, if not both. It can also be inferred that the two were fans of the idol group Morning Musume during the time that the Games Tetralogy were being developed.
