    I assume you mean Eris, in which case the similarity in names is just a coincidence.

    More than that, it's the Nordic version of the Apocalypse.

    Save the Queen originated in Final Fantasy Tactics, which, like the Ogre Battle games, contains several references to Queen the band, that sword being one of them.

    Last I checked, Gilgamesh was a king in Sumerian mythology. Which led to some interesting discussions in AcDec.

    hmm titan was some giant man like creatures that could shake the earth and do other things. Lich was a god of darkness. Holy, Angel, Faith are stated in the bible. and abaddon is the hebrew name for 'the destroyer'

    In Greek mythology, the Titans were gigantic deities that ruled the cosmos before Zeus and company came in and overthrew them. "Lich" is just a catch-all term for an undead evil dude, stemming from the Slav word for "evil" and the German word for "corpse."

    Tidus comes from the bible

    Sin is pretty self-explanitory.

    Come to think of it FFX is basically a look at the story of Jesus with a different ending.

    Uh.. Tidus isn't from the bible. This is from http://www.ffcompendium.com/h/nchara.shtml#10

    Tidus: "Tidus" (which is pronounced Tii-da in the Japanese version, not Tee-dus or Tide-us) is from the Ryukyu (Okinawan) dialect of Japanese, and means "sun". It comes from the honorific once used to refer to an Okinawan king: Tidanukwa, or Tedako in Japanese, which means, "child of the sun".
    I do NOT think that his name comes from the word "Tide", tying him in to Squall and Cloud. The words are pronounced completely differently.

    Yuna: "Yuna" (Yuu-na) is also from the Ryukyu dialect, and means "night," and also refers to the hibiscus flower, which is called "yuna" because of the fact that it is more open at night than during the day. Tara Mars mentions that this flower also decorates Yuna's outfit and jewelry.

    Yunalesca: the "lesca" may come from the name Leska, which means "defender of mankind" in Greek.

    Zaon: Zaon is an ancient name for the sun in Sanskrit. The relationship between Zaon (sun) and Yunalesca (moon) parallels that between Tidus (sun) and Yuna (moon).

    Tidus is also a person in the bible. New Testement, between second Timothy and Philemon. He was described as a gentile convert who sometimes accompanied Paul the apostle, and who was leader of the church at Crete. I am well aware that the bible spells it Titus, but like I stated before there are multiple similar connections.
