There has been no greater contributor to this than the beliefs of the ancient Greeks. This book embarks on a detailed exploration of the huge extent to which classical lore influenced the writing and design of Final Fantasy VII - arguably the most critically acclaimed of the franchise -, its wider compilation, and the more recent remake project.Which characters can be compared to the gods of Olympus and which share similarities to divine heroes?What are the connections between the Cetra and water, and how do these relate to the underworld?How closely do the summoned beings Hades, Titan, Typhon, and Phoenix match their mythical namesakes?To what degree does Final Fantasy VII Remake incorporate links to the Fates and the Delphic oracle?Following the success of Norse Myths That Inspired Final Fantasy VII, award-winning community author M.
