Ragnarok´s code

[Future Esthar]

When you are on the Ragnarok in space you have to enter a code to achieve atmospheric reentry.
The code is:
WJHEIIE/(a number)/HDIEU

Now if you change H to M,I to L and U to V you get:

WJMELLE/(a number)/MDLEV.
I did the same operations to all the same letters.

If you take out the W we have an interesting phrase.
Do you see it?
I think the number is 2872 but have no sure

[disapointedchild]

wow,
so whats your point,
you are looking to far into this game,
why not get some sun,
its good for you.

[TheAbominatrix]

What's the basis of changing those letters? There's no reason to change them.

[abrojtm]

...eh?

[Queen Anthai]

I'll see your "eh?" and raise you a "...th' f@#$ is this guy smoking?"

[Doomgaze]

Whoa, check this out.

But. If you change the S to a U, and the E to a T, and the O to an I, and the N to a M (they're like right next to each other), and the H to an E, and the A to a C, and the R to an I, and the T to an A, and get rid of the period, you get...

ULTIMECIA. OMG. S=U

[TheAbominatrix]

Whoa, check this out.

ULTIMECIA. OMG. S=U

OMG! A winner is you!

Did I miss something? I don't remember that code being in there... was it not in the European version?

[Rinoa_Galatea]

Yeah... it seems that:
1. Or I've been smokin' a lot of peyote that I don't remember that code
2. Or I've missed that XDDDDDD

(Anyway I don't remember any code in the Ragnarok :P)

I think he means it stands for "Junction Machine Ellone" and what looks like "Med Level Up" but I still think its crap. You can't go randomly changing around letters until you get something that looks like it could be sensical and take it to be the truth. Cryptologists don't work that way. There is always a matrix which cracks the code - its not a random operation, as this appears to be.

I certainly don't see it as proof of his completely unsupported claim that Ellone is an android.

[Future Esthar]

Yes,but i didn´t changed the letters at random.
In Latin sometimes the letter U appears as V.For example:JULIUS=JVLIVS
In capital letters we write i as I.Otherwise L is read as l.
For the H the explanation is a little more farfetched.
We just have to look and see that H is the assimptotic limit of M when the two diagonal lines of the middle tends to be only one horizontal line in the middle of the two vertical lines.
Convinced?No?
Consider the phrase JHEIIE HDIEU
It is less probable to find a sense word changing just a couple of few letters than to find it chamging all.
In the last case we have 26^11 possible combinations of letters and 26 ^11 ways of change it.
So the probability is 1.
In the first case we have (11 6)*26^6 favourable cases ((11 6) represents the 7th coefficient of the the Newton binom (a+b)^11).
And we have 26^11 possible compinations of the 11 letters.
So the probability is (11 6)/26^5 wich is much more little than1.
And if we consider changing the letters to similar ones then the probability is aproximately 1/26^11.
I am sorry if the calculations are wrong.I am not good in interpreting probabilities.
But I am sure the latter case is more favourable
So if the probability to find is so little and I found it then it couldn´t be a mere coincidence.

[nik0tine]

Umm... How long did it take you to look at that and realize it... Did you sit and look at the code for hours hoping to find something in it, and then you see all this math and how it works?

[Necronopticous]

I don't believe that this was an intended 'tidbit' but I like you Future Esthar, good food for thought, even if I don't buy it.

[Optium]

Awesome. I love this thread, haha. To all the people saying that Future
has too much time on his hands, you're replying to a topic in a forum
dedicated to a a game which the majority of you have probably played for
a couple hundred hours total (talking about all FFs). Awesome post, Future,
as Necro said, I don't buy it, but it's still good to see you take the time to
actually think about and come up with an argument for this stuff. Too
much time indeed...what's better, coming up with an equation to find the
probability of a number of letters in a pattern or watching an episode of
Crank Yankers?

[q=Future Esthar]MDLEV.[/q]Hmm. The basement level of Balamb Garden is called the 'MD Level', though we're never told what MD stands for...

Actually, I don't buy any of this, but it's fun to see what happens when you over-analyse. Like Besimudo's devout belief that Squall is actually the villain in FFVIII, and Laguna is infernal because bad things happen to people around him.
