(not to mention norse mythology)

Ragnarok was also present as a weapon in FF5, I believe. Square is VERY fond of borrowing mythologies to for names and characters and items.

There are TONS of refferences to Norse mythology in many of Square's games.

Ragnarok, Odin, Freya, Gungnir, Asgard, Midgard, Yygdrassil, Niflheim... tons of them...

I remember almost all of those references in FF games, but not Yygdrassil. Is that not the world tree? Where do they make a reference to it, or its name even?

I've played through most of the numbered series, and I don't remember a reference to the life tree, either. Ygdrassil is a reference you'd sooner see being made in a Breath of Fire game.

I thought it was cool in ffx-2 that they obviously got tired of using up norse myth and went on to persian.

makes for a lot more cool names.

Final Fantasy III (Hyne's Castle) and Final Fantasy: Tactics (mentioned as part of three of the Propositions, once with the spelling of "Yugdrasil" and the other time with the spelling of "Yugudoracil," and called "the World Tree" both of these times; the third time it was just called "the World Tree"). Depending on the translation you're looking at for III, it might be called "the Elder Tree."

Also in Xenogears Barts ship is named Yggdrasil.

There are also references to mesopotamian mythology, specificly Babylonian in the form of Tiamat (one of themonsters in Ultimecia's Castle) and Gilgamesh (The GF that replaces Odin).

The Ragnarok is also a weapon in FFTA, and is one of Tidus' weapons in FFX. The name is one of the ones that Square uses in almost every FF game they make, along with the Masamune, Murasame, Ultima, Biggs, Wedge, Ifrit, Shiva, Bahamut...

Yygdrassil is from Xenogears.

There is also a Ragnorak acsessory in X-2, I think you get it from Rin!

Don't forget Cid! He's probably in more games then all of them put together!

Yes, many ff games use the Ragnarok.
