Norse Myths That Inspired Final Fantasy VII by Kayley Henderson

Final Fantasy is one of the most iconic and beloved videogame series in the world. Since its inception, its titles have adopted names, themes and stories from across global mythology, including the beliefs of the Vikings. This book embarks on a detailed exploration of how Norse lore in particular influenced the writing and design of Final Fantasy VII - arguably the most critically acclaimed of the franchise - and its wider compilation.
  • Why is Midgar the political centre of the Planet, and Nibelheim the home of Cloud Strife?
  • How are the Odin Materia, the Rune Blade, and Vincent Valentine connected?
  • What are the parallels between Ragnar k and the fall of the Shinra Corporation?
These questions and many more will be examined and answered by award-winning community author M. J. Gallagher. Suitable for newcomers and enthusiasts alike.

This work is presented as a tribute to the metaseries Compilation of Final Fantasy(R) VII. The author proposes that the speculative comparisons between Norse mythology and the Compilation of Final Fantasy(R) VII are unique, and use original thinking and analysis to interpret the inspirations, context, and content of the metaseries. The book has not been approved, licensed, or sponsored by any entity or person involved in creating or producing Final Fantasy(R), the videogames, films, or publications.
