Feature: Myths and Final Fantasies
The Mythology Behind the Final Fantasy Series
Mythology has been a great part of every earth culture, and remains today. From the ancient Greeks and their Olympic gods to a more modern Bible, mythology takes a place in all of our lives in one way or another. Allusions to it are apparent in literary works, movies, artwork and other forms of expression. The video game is no exception.
The Final Fantasy series is filled with countless references, accurate or vague, to many mythologies that have developed on Earth in the past. This guide will take you through the more significant references in the games, particularly with summons, eidolons, guardian forces, etc. although there are even more references made, in the scripts and the various enemies, and elsewhere in the games.
