In Hindu tradition, Lord Shiva’s abode is Mount Kailash, part of a snowy range in the Himalayas, where he almost freezes the god Indra in anger. This is reflected in the lore of FFXVI’s Eikon Shiva, whose Dominants hail from the frozen highlands of the Northern Territories.

Grant me the serenity to accept the enemies I cannot defeat, the strength to defeat the ones I can, and the wisdom to stop taking Jenga so seriously

I had to reassure an older coworker today that she wasn't being "a downer" in grieving the recent passing of a long-time friend. I had to tell her it was normal and appropriate-- it's not like she'd devolved into unprofessionalism.
I'm not patting myself on the back for this, however. I'm angry+

In Norse mythology, the god Odin sends two ravens around the Nine Realms every day to gather news and bring him knowledge. During Final Fantasy XVI, Clive and Cid encounter elite scouts from Waloed (ruled by Odin's Dominant), whose black-hooded captain is the Midnight Raven.

In FFXVI, religious converts gather at Mikkelburg to be cleansed of their sins and attain salvation, as instructed by King Barnabas. It’s here that the relic Titus emerges. Saints Barnabas and Titus were early Christians who baptised others and converted them to Christianity.

You're gonna have to be a little more specific. I have a laundry list of sucky dreams, each with their own unique colors, flavors, and textures.

The term ‘ifrit’ appears once in the Islamic Qur’an and is typically translated from Arabic as a ‘mighty’ or ‘rebellious’ jinn (genie). These characteristics are embodied by Ifrit in Final Fantasy XVI, who is immensely strong and acts in direct defiance of the fate of Mythos.

Derived from an earlier Egyptian deity, Harpocrates was the god of silence and secrets for the ancient Greeks. He was associated with Alexandria, Egypt, a centre of knowledge in antiquity. This is why the lore master and record keeper in Final Fantasy XVI shares his name.

A famous Arthurian legend concerns the hero Tristan escorting Princess Isolde to marry his noble uncle, but the two fall in love. This is alluded to in FFXVI when Clive takes his lover Jill to meet his Uncle Byron at Port Isolde, en route to Mt. Drustanus - Tristan’s Latin name.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

In Final Fantasy XVI, Titan is the colossal Eikon of Earth, introduced at the Battle of Nysa. He’s named after the Titans of Greek myth - gods who preceded the Olympians. Among them was Atlas, a ferocious leader sentenced to hold up the sky, then turned into a mountain.

I paused, out of breath. The Void had taken all my frustrated screaming and absorbed it.
"I'm sorry," I whispered. "You must have heard all this before, countless times."
'only you,' said the Void, 'scream your frustration like you do'
I took a deep breath to resume, then smiled.
"Thanks."

In Norse mythology, the chief deity Odin often wanders among men in disguise. One such disguise is believed to be a boatman named Hárbard (Greybeard). This is reflected in Final Fantasy XVI, where the silver-haired Harbard is an "extension" of Barnabas, the Dominant of Odin.

In the Christian Bible, Jesus visits Martha and performs a miracle to restore her brother Lazarus to life, signifying Christ's power over death. This is why FFXVI's Rosaria - whose Eikon is Phoenix, the resurrection bird - contains both the Lazarus District and Martha's Rest.
