    Default Beowulf

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

    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.

    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.
    "The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural."

    --Chancellor Palpatine

    Final Fantasy VIII: The Lionheart. Book one of my novelization.

    Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
