Synopsis

Final Fantasy is one of the most iconic and beloved videogame series in the world. Since its inception, its titles have adopted names, concepts, and stories from global mythology and religious traditions alike.

This first volume of Mythos: Final Fantasy XVI explores in detail numerous tales that inspired the writing and design of the critically acclaimed game, focusing primarily on the recurring theme of death and rebirth. The book’s ambition is to enrich the reader’s experience of Final Fantasy XVI and offer an accessible introduction to its mythological and religious influences.

What parallels can be drawn between the hero Clive Rosfield and the god Dionysus – or between his brother Joshua Rosfield and Jesus Christ?

How do colossal Eikons such as Phoenix, Shiva, Odin, and Ifrit embody or symbolise the cycle of death and rebirth?

Which regions of Valisthea are rooted in the afterlife beliefs of the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Norsemen?

In what ways might the lore surrounding Ultima and the Fallen be compared to the Book of Genesis?

These questions and many more will be examined and answered by award-winning community author M. J. Gallagher. Suitable for newcomers and enthusiasts alike.

This book is a work of original analysis. It has not been approved, licensed, or sponsored by any entity or person involved in creating or producing Final Fantasy, the videogames, films, or publications.
