Beowulf

We are reading Beowolf in my english class and there is a lot of stuff that is in the FF games and other in it.

Grendel-FF8
Hrunting-FF10
Gilgamesh-Duh
Beowulf-Devil May Cry

Is this not weird or not

[BIGSPOILER]it isn't that wierd. Maybe the game were made from old english lit[/BIGSPOILER]

Dont' forget Beowolf from Tactics.

There's also a character named Beowulf in Final Fantasy Tactics! WHO KNEW?!

How wrong you are. The illuminati are obviously behind it.

FF has a lot of mythical themes, Bewoulf and Grendel being just one of them.

Beowulf is one of the oldest books still around. It's sure to be full of mythology, which is what FF has always pulled influences from.

I'm studying Chaucer :D it's almost after Beowulf!

I...think I'll just move this here.

Ewww, Beowulf? What school makes you read that? Excluding mine, of course. >=[

The Final Fantasy series- and RPGs in general- borrow names from many different mythologies. I don't think it's surprising at all.

Wait, since when was Devil May Cry part of the Final Fantasy series?;)

We read Beowulf when I was in high school. I thought it was pretty good.

Well, he did say other.

I just thought it was cool so if you all want to yell at me just think of all the stupid stuff you all have done like this.
