Acerca de esta escucha
Final Fantasy is one of the most iconic and beloved video game 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 center 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 Ragnarök 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.
Audiobook read by Liam Mulvey. This work is presented as a tribute to the metaseries Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. The author proposes that the speculative comparisons between Norse mythology and the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII are unique, and uses 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 video games, films, or publications.

In sparkling Night City, a ragtag group of strangers have just pulled off a heist, robbing a convoy transporting a mysterious container belonging to Militech. The only thing the group has in common is that they were blackmailed into participating in the heist—and they have no idea just how far their mysterious employer's reach goes, or the purpose of the artifact they stole.

For 12 years, the virtual world of Yggdrasil has served as the playground and battlefield for the skeletal lord Momonga and his guild of fellow monsters, Ainz Ooal Gown. But the guild's glory days are over, and the game is shutting down permanently. When Momonga logs in one last time just to be there when the servers go dark, something happens - and suddenly, fantasy is reality. A rogues' gallery of fanatically devoted NPCs is ready to obey his every order, but the world Momonga now inhabits is not the one he remembers.

In the mist-shrouded haze of the past, the world of Azeroth teemed with wondrous creatures of every kind. Mysterious elves and hardy dwarves walked among tribes of man in relative peace and harmony - until the arrival of the demonic army known as Burning Legion shattered the world's tranquility forever.

Though the world came to know of the Norse and their legends through Roman interaction at about the time of Christ, most of what we came to know were handed-down from folk tales gathered by native writers like Snorri Sturluson (c. 1179 - 1241). This was from a time when the Norse had already been converted to Christianity.

This book contains a brief but unconventional look at the Titans and Olympian gods of Greek mythology. Brief, because a thorough treatment of these legendary super beings could take thousands of hours. Unconventional, because digging for truth is far more interesting than reciting old stories which have little relevance to us today. Attempting to reveal some semblance of truth brings the stories to life. It gives them relevance to our modern world. Here, we will look at many of the more fascinating stories.

A Must for Final Fantasy VII Fans
I had already previously read and enjoyed the book, but the audio version made me feel like I was encountering for the first time. Liam did an incredible job with his performance, and I felt like the time flew by when listening to it. I am a huge FFVII fan, and if you enjoy a deep dive into the intricate lore and hidden subtext of the gane, you will love this. I guarantee you will learn something new from this audiobook and have a fun time.

A book for true Final Fantasy Fans!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book! the author has done a brilliant job researching the parallels between Nordic mythology and the FF7 universe. The summary of the games, chapter 3, hit all of the main points and even clarified a few plot details that I missed while playing the games.
I'm very excited that there will be an additional book release later this year drawing parallels to Greek mythology. This first book was great, but I'm hoping the second book will go into more depth on the life stream Gaia concept. I think fans would love to know the mythological / cultural origins of the life stream. similarly, I'm hoping to hear more about Sepharoth's final transformation design... the many winged angel that seems to have it's origins in a Greek/Roman tradition.
This book belongs right beside every other FF7 collector's item. A must have!

If you aren’t into Final Fantasy and aren’t into mythology, I don’t know why you’re here. If you are, though, or even just a fan of storytelling, this is a great and very entertaining resource.

A whole new take on a great game!
Final Fantasy 7 was my first introduction to this incredible series. It has been in my top 3 favorite series of all time. I thought I knew a lot about the game and the world but listening to this book has opened up an entirely new view of the characters and the world they live in. There is so much knowledge packed in this book and it is a must read for anyone that enjoys the game.

Great Connections and Analysis
I thoroughly enjoyed this book on the connections and relationships found between Norse mythology and Final Fantasy 7. I found it fascinating to learn not only more about Norse mythology but a deeper look into the history of Final Fantasy development and the lore of FF7. I really appreciate the concise and clear connections Gallagher makes and some of the more speculative relationships but fun to ponder nonetheless. It was a great listen especially with the fantastic narration from Mulvey. Cannot wait for the Greek Mythologies that inspires FF7 later this year!
