it's amazing how many japanese rpgs have their plot/characters ripped off straight from bible.

if God actually copyrighted and kept track how much stuff from the bible japanese rpgs have ripped off, the entire nation of japan would be bankrupt from all the copyright dues.

Plenty more Japanese RPGs use the names of gods from ancient mythology, especially the Norse. Odin would be a rich bastard by now.

And Bahumut would have one huuuge pile of gold to sleep on(as dragons do). And Aztec god Quezacotl wouldn't be penniless.

I thought it was Bahamut and Quezacotl.

Indeed it is. I guess I don't know everything.

Xenosaga alone destroys Japan

Quetzacoatl, I believe it is. Yes, I know it's Quezacotl in FF8.

Holy Christ on a stick, I think you are right.

A cookie for you.

It's actually Quetzalcoatl (with the "t" being optional).

Balthasar, Gaspar, and Melchior were used in both Chrono Trigger and Xenogears, by the way.

I missed that first "l"? Damn, I should know this, I have World History this year. I've never seen it spelled "Quezalcoatl," though.

Pombar the Englishman · Tue Jan 11, 2005 7:46 pm

Games like changing the spellings, i guess

I don't think FF8 allowed more than nine letters for GF names. I'm not about to go downstairs to check, though, so I might be wrong.

You are right, I knew it was spelled wrong since the beginning.

As a side note FF8's Quezacoatl doesn't look at all like the "real" Quetzalcoatl.

Strange, I learnt it this way and have only seen the l-less ones recently.

Oblivion · Post by **Oblivion** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 1:00 am

I meant that I've never seen it without the first "t." The lack of an l was error on my part.

Yeah, doen't he look like snake or something? Then again, Shiva isn't even a woman! (unless it's not reffering to the hindu shiva...?)

I thought the FF8 Quezacoatl was more like a thunder bird?

"Yes". I think Bombar is mixing it with Leviathan.

He was in the game, but in reality he's some person who was turned
half-snake or something. I'm gonna check

He was an Aztec God, he's name means "Feathered covered Snake" and well, it was a Feathered covered Snake, some say that it was the Sun God, others state that it was the God of War.

He liked to turn into a human to roam the land of the aztecs, to teach them valuable lessons. He appears in various Aztec fables.

Pombar the Englishman · Wed Jan 12, 2005 9:20 pm

Yeh. I was looking for his origin. he wasn't always a snake thing i don't think
