ffxiv's story sounds alot like 'First Epistle to the Corinthians' from the bible
there are parts in the story that sound like it, SE just changed the obvious.
even one zone is call coerthas, looks beat up, then you go to mor dhona its evil and theres a big dragon your most likely bring back to life.
just look it up (1 Corinthians 15) dont know the exactly where to find it but its not too much of a read/skim over to find everything.
omg i think SE took some stuff from the bible.

I don't really see the connection, all of Corinthians were letters to people (of Corinth) on vastly different subjects of problems they were having with their religious community: marriage/love, women in the church, hair cuts for men and women
EDIT HERE: I should say though, themes and VERY often names are used by SE for both characters, and weapons from myths and religions to historical locations -
06-12-2011, 04:26 PMRowyneTo title a post "omg i think SE took some stuff from the bible" and then try to insult a response that challenges that the story very well could be random is a little hypocritical. The title itself sounds like stereotypical trolling general chat nonsense.Quote:

I personally like Eorzea's lore. I just wish they would do more with it. -

we already have a lot of games/movies that took stuff from Bible/Norse/Olympus. even in the previously chapters of FF series.

06-12-2011, 04:34 PMindirawho said SE stole lore??, future wow clone maybe. i said they took some stuff from the bible thats it. when some one says "and?" and give a smart remark thats un-called for.Quote:

typical overzealous christian response, "waahhhhh why wont you listen to me and agree!!! I AM ALWAYS RIGHT, all other relgions are wrong!!!!!" seriously people have their own opinions on where they get lore... but FF takes lore from ALL religions... We have Nidhogg, Odin, then we have Gilgamesh, then Shiva and etc.... We aren't being negative, I might be coming across negative... but I hate people who take offense over, "what you denounce my claim to the bible?!?! I HAVE PROOF IT IS REAL!" seriously calm down... close this thread... we don't need relgious discussions on this forum...

For example, Sephiroth's name came from the Kabbalah, Kefka's final battle in VI was a parody of The Divine Comedy, Kain's storyline in IV and later in Duodecim had a recurring theme of betrayal. and the Fal'cie's goals in XIII revolved around essentially restoring Eden.Quote:

Guess where Leviathan came from. -
06-12-2011, 04:51 PMCairdeasI'd just like to point out that its not necessarily Christianity. a huge chunk of the stories in the bible are in the Torah (Hebrew) and the Qu'ran (Islam) they are also documented in non religious text as well.Quote:

06-12-2011, 04:54 PMXmbeitotally agree. but some christians claim this to be blasphemy and that they are heathen's and don't believe in the same god. when in fact they all share the same lore, just diverged at different parts because of differences, christians are jews that believe christ was the messiah, while the jews are still waiting for what they believe to be their true messiah, and the qu'ran branched off at the time of Abraham, everything before that is pretty much the same book...Quote:
