Not really to do with the japanese, if you dont want to make up a language, which canbe hard to not make it sound like nonsense, the choice is between a readily spoken language and a dead one. Dead languages are hardly known by most people, so are useful if you dont want people to or have a reason for most not understanding it. Plus any that recognise it a bit will associate it automatically with the idea of history and being old. As for the choice of latin it is really the only "goto" dead language, with ancient greek not being used a lot, and nordic languages wouldnt really fit the setting, plus ancient egyptian is not really known. As this would be a localised (translated) version theres a chance they used a different language for the asian versions, using latin for the western, european countries. Or perhaps latin fit best with the setting, as the world of thegame fits mostly with idea of medieval europe rather than the equivalent era among other cultures. Or perhaps there is not much in the way of well known dead languages in the region that would be known about by most of those inthat area, like latin is in europe and the like.
