In Hindu cosmology, the primary role of Lord Shiva is to destroy the impure universe so that it can be reborn. This is reflected in Final Fantasy XVI's Jill, the Dominant of Shiva, who helps Clive to destroy the harmful Mothercrystals so they can rebuild a better world for all.

In Greek myth, the god Dionysus is associated with winemaking, conquering death, and leading a retinue of beings that were once people. This mirrors Genesis, who commands an army of mutated SOLDIERs, is believed to have been resurrected, and invented Banora White apple juice.

In Norse mythology, Nidhögg is a dragon who lives in the main spring of Niflheim, responsible for punishing the spirits of murderers. Nibelheim’s inn in FFVII Rebirth - located by the water tower - is called the Nidhogg Hotel, where Sephiroth stays before slaying the townsfolk.

In FFVII Remake, the Pride and Joy Prototype drops Götterdämmerung upon its defeat, just as its successor Proud Clod drops Ragnarok in the OG. Götterdämmerung is a 19th century opera, a retelling - and thus ‘remake’ - of the prophecy of the Norse apocalypse, Ragnarök.

In Hinduism, Chirada and Suparna are aliases of the winged deity Garuda, while Aruna is attested to be his brother. Buddhism, meanwhile, describes Garudas as birdlike humanoids. This is why Chirada, Suparna, and Aruna all appear as egis of the Eikon Garuda in FFXVI.

In Scottish folklore, the cait sith (cat sith, singular) are supernatural felines associated with death. Many believed they would steal the soul from a corpse before its burial. This is why Cait Sith first properly appears in Rebirth in the graveyard outside the Haunted Hotel.

In Norse mythology, Odin values knowledge above all else and obtains immense wisdom by sacrificing one of his eyes. This is reflected in the summon’s updated design for both Crisis Core Reunion and FFVII Rebirth, where the mask of his armoured helmet conceals his right eye.

At MCM Comic Con London Naoki Hamaguchi said he wanted to clear something up. At the meet and greet outside someone said "I've heard this rumor that development on the third game is is being cancelled." Hamaguchi says that is absolutely not happening. It is going ahead.

Today, I had the opportunity to meet Naoki Hamaguchi and thank him for the extraordinary experience that was FFVII Rebirth, and show him one of my books.

During Final Fantasy XVI, Clive and Gav find Edda, a pregnant survivor of the atrocities in Waloed. It is she who explains the Arche myth, a foretold doom that resembles the Norse Ragnarök. As it happens, the main sources of Norse lore are the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda books.
