World Mythology and Video Games

こんぼんは。

Aside from the Persona series, there are a number of other games I've played that gave me a bit more of a taste of world mythology. Many of them are made by Atlus, and have many of the same beings across games. The first Atlus game I played was: Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

However, even more ubiquitous games like Pokemon reference real-world mythology, although it takes more digging to find the connections. For example, consider that Froslass is a reference to the ゆきおんな (yuki-onna).

What are some of your favorite games/series for learning more about world mythology?

Next time, I'll talk about some of my favorite games and anime for Japanese culture.
