Given our recent findings with the waterfall, could it be that the original FEZ image should be read top-down right-to-left as well? It seems to make a clearer message.

IS IT NOT CLEAR YET THAT I AM EVERYWHERE
DONT EVEN TRY TO FIND ME
IT IS POINTLESS TO EVEN ATTEMPT TAO STOP ME
YOU THINK YOU ARE CLOSE YET YOU ARE SO FAR
BUT I WILL NOT STOP YOU FOR WHY WOULD I
THIS IS A SEARCH YOU CANNOT COMPLETE
A FIGHT YOU CANNOT WIN
NEVERTHELESS I WISH YOU GOOD LUCK

The relevance of the rotation and inversion of the border of each symbols is still unknown

Definitely was worth a try! But, well, what is this then?

Ah, now I get it, thanks for explaining. Ok, I decoded this as unicode in all 4 possible ways:

LSBFIRST þþÿþþþþþþþÿÿÿÿÿþþüþþÿÿþÿÿÿüÿÿüüÀÿüÀÿðÿÿð

~LSBFIRST ÿÿøÿÿÿÿÿÿÿøüþøüÿÿÿÿÿþþÿþþþÿþþÿÿÿøÿÿþÿþþÿ

 MSBFIRST ~gæ~gTUETUèލèÞrW%rW—‰x—‰›9³›9>à>› °›

~MSBFIRST ˜˜«ªº«ª!r!¨Ú¨hv‡hvdÆLdÆÁüÁüdöOdö

Ahw, c'mon, there must be something!! Maybe you could also doublecheck this?

Hey Stuart, thanks for sharing your insights! Can you explain a bit more? How does this reflect the borders? Have you read https://hackaday.io/project/8762-itanimulli-code-crackers/log/29027-border-bytes and https://hackaday.io/project/8762-itanimulli-code-crackers/log/29001-symbols-symbols ?
