The Moon Goddess

[GoldStarz]

Just like in our world, different cultures on Hydaelyn have or had different deities that represent the moon like Artemis & Luna from Greek mythology, Chandra from Hinduism, and obviously the actual Japanese goddess Tsukuyomi that the FF14 version takes its namesake from.

Whether some of these deities share origins or not is a different story, that we can speculate a lot more into, but that would be getting a bit into spoiler territory.


Generally speaking though, the outright 'divine' doesn't exist in FF14.

the actual Japanese goddess Tsukuyomi

Ahem. Tsukuyomi is the male counterpart and brother of the sun goddess Amaterasu. Like many deities and mythological figures, Japanese or otherwise, Japanese artists have no problem rendering him as a girl, little or otherwise. Shinto is kind of wild, though, in that such a thing isn't really breaking any rules.
