I think this is in the right forum but .... who the hell knows.

There are a lot of things I'm proud to say I dabble in. Mythology is definitely one of them. I wouldn't be suprised at all if someone got on here and knew ten times the amount I do. However, I'm certainly not a "mythological n00b". lol How many other people here read up on ancient mythology from various cultures? And how many people have seen some of these mythological people and creatures appear in various FF games? If you have, feel free to post them here. Over the years I've posted this topic over and over again. lol I'll be suprised if I see anything new but I say that everytime and I usually do. lol

If you're interested in exploring the topic, I suggest http://www.pantheon.org/ It's a very good site with lots of information on the subject.
 
Ahh, mythology! I love it! Who doesn't? I mean, everything is so interesting, including the characters! I have a lot of favorite stories too.

Hmm, and yes, there's a lot of mythological creatures in FF. Like Leviathan? I know there's a lot more, but my mind's completely blank right now. -_-

Anyway, there's different kinds of myths. But I tend to find the Greek mythology more interesting. Don't know why.
 
My mind first jumps to Norse Mythology. Not only do they make references to it in FF games but SE made Valkyrie Profile which revolves around it. (^_^ one of my favs)

In FFVII for instance he has the cloudy wolf pendant, zack is shown to us in the form of a wolf, and his bike is named Fenrir. Fenrir the wolf who was Summoned by Loki to take down Odin. Yay! Odin also is in FF games except they show him have a six legged horse when is should be eight.
 
I remember that Sephiroth's sword was part of some Japanese myth, but I just can't remember what it was exactly.
Quetzachotal ( one of the GFs in FF VIII, but i'm not sure i spelt it right) is one of the gods of the Aztecs, though i am probably wrong.

Cerberus and Hades both come from Greek Mythology. Odin comes from Norse Mythology.

I'm not sure whether or not to keep this thread here ot not, as this forum is meant for 'light' debating. I'll see where the discussions lead and make a decision from there. As it stands, now, I'm tempted to move it over to Costa Del Sol.
