Thank you so much to everyone for following me over here. I'm an author specializing in the real-world mythology that can be found in Final Fantasy games.

My books have 5-star ratings on Amazon and are available worldwide in multiple formats. I invite you to check them out at the links below.
If you backed Mythos on Kickstarter, now’s the time to check your shipping address is up to date. You wouldn’t want this bad boy going to the wrong place, would you?

Or the book either…

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.
