I think Takahashi really nailed the balance between that painterly style and modern FF polish in XVI. The way the Eikons are rendered almost feels like moving illustrations. I actually did a quick look at his approach and how it connects to the series’ legacy, if you’re curious.

Odin from Norse Mythology

FFXVI is definitely not unique in its medieval setting lol

Medieval setting of this game was actually heavily inspired by plague tale that is why the story is so dark and i love it. SE even hired the original VO of the main protagonist of plague tale as cameo for the young version of joshua and jill

It is fun to play but it didn’t feel unique. Just reminds me of dark souls and common tropes from other franchises. The last one was much better overall

Clive reminds of jon snow his so cool

There are both Pheonix and Al Anqa in Persian and in Persian Mythologoy Pheonix ( called Ghoghnus ) they say that the origin is from Egypt.

There is also Bahamut in Persian myth so I am not really sure if its Arabic or Persian.

Final fantasy had a medieval setting since the first game of the series 😅

How big is the Phoenix it look like a rodan from monsterverse 😂

“And games of freakin trones”

Reply when you notice

RamuH is Merlin the Wizard

Also Lethiathan comes from the bible

bahamut is a fish
ramuh is actually based on Lamuh
and the story share some similarities with Naruto story
Dominants – Jinchuriki
Eikons – Bijuu
Ultima – Kaguya
Origin – World Chakra Tree
Cid – Jiraiya
Clive – Sasuke and Naruto combined

About Ramuh, he doesn’t actually derive from any specific name from any mythology, BUT rather many. The name is thought to be derived from the archaic Hebrew word “ra’am” which means “to the thunder” and possibly the word “Rama” which is one of the names of Hinduism’s chief gods, Vishnu’s, many incarnations—fitting as he’s often the mediator between Ifrit and Shiva, just like how Vishnu mediates Brahma and Shiva in Hindu mythology.

Pheonix is also in Arabian mythology but called al-anqa

what song is this?

what about leviathan

Phoenix is also from Arabian mythology and it is called Al’anqa’ العنقاء, I didn’t know that bahamut is from Arabian mythology!

Phoenix is also Egyptian Myth and Persian Myth, not just Greek Myth.

Did you also know that Gigaflare is literally just an Ultra Big Bang Kamehameha? And Ifrits Hellfire ball against Typhon is the exact same as the spirit bomb against frieza? Seriously…

The dominants are like naruto jinchuriki

interesting! also, GOD OF WAR hahahah 😀

Cool
