BT: Today’s countdown is going to introduce you to some of the lesser known and utilized monsters of myth and legend. I’m going to do my best to keep it culturally varied, though my personal inclination is towards Japanese mythology. Other than that, the only real restriction on this list is that the monsters featured can’t be like the ones mentioned above, being extremely prevalent in games today. The monsters could have been in previous games, but so long as they aren’t featured prominently in dozens of different games, I think it will be alright to include them here. So, with all of this in mind, let’s dive deep into the musty tomes of human history and see what we can drag up.
Looking back at Final Fantasy 6 on its 30th anniversary provides a snapshot of one of gaming's most important franchises at a pivotal turning point.
Gary Green said: It’s interesting to revisit the roots of your favorite franchises to see first-hand what’s changed and what’s stuck around all these years, though perhaps ‘visit’ would be more accurate than ‘revisit’ since apparently, Europe wasn’t worthy of the original six Final Fantasy games the first time around. By the time we started getting ports of these iconic games, we’d already been through the PSOne JRPG golden age. So we’d already seen the best of what Final Fantasy had to offer, while these predecessors looked outdated, unrefined, and (dare I say it) ugly. We aren’t bitter about the delayed releases, honest…
I'd love to but square said fk you to the ps fanbase that wanted these physically. Meanwhile switch got a physical release.

I always go Yuna, Aerith, Rikku, Rinoa, and for some reason Vanilla, Ashe, Cindy, Lunafreya, Quistis
VERY interesting read. However I think I've found the Kamaitachi.
#3 is just a wannabe Cthulhu.
Interesting article. Even though I've never heard of Hugen and Munin, I swear I've heard something similar to them before... Also aw yeah for Mothman!
I place a lot of faith in Castlevania games to show interpretations of mythological creatures and monsters.
Even if not by the exact name, they've had creatures like those on the list. They also had a Mothman.
Roc is used as an enemy in Final Fantasy aswell.
