sorry i’m posting what i think everyone has figured out already but the part about hythlodaeus and morus does not appear to refer to the final fantasy characters - it would make more sense that it refers to character’s from more’s ‘utopia’. some random reference i found on this is copy and pasted below:
“RAPHAEL HYTHLODAEUS is the protagonist in St. Thomas More's Utopia, and his discussions with More in this hard-to-place work fits in with the notion of Lyotard's notion of "differend." In Book 1 of More's Utopia, the groundwork is set for the philosophical discourse in Book 2. Book 1 is largely composed of a dialogue between Morus (the Latin name for "More") and his friend Peter Giles and a traveler named Raphael Hythlodaeus. The name Hythlodaeus is derived from Greek, from a combination of hythlos (idle talk or nonsense) and daiein (distributor). Hythlodaeus is therefore a sower of nonsense, a buffoon. Hythlodaeus' first name, Raphael, is obviously refers to the Biblical archangel, Raphael (רָפָאֵל), the meaning of which is "It is God (El) who heals." Raphael is "one of the seven, who stand before the Lord," Tobit 12:15, and he is regarded as the angelicus medicus, the healing angel. It is Raphael who, in the deuterocanonical book of Tobit, advises Tobias to catch a fish and use its liver to cure his father Tobit of his blindness.” - some ‘not secure’ blogspot page from lex christianorum apparently
