I didn't say "it came from another game", just that it was used in something else...

And "kreuz" is the GERMAN word for "cross". "Croix" is the French word for cross.

Hector is the name of a great magician of the greeks I believe...

Seth could also be a reference to the Egyptian god Set... who was the god of chaos...

Rosier is the name of a fallen angel in gnostic mythology...

that's all i could dig up for now...

Ursula was a Nun who later became a saint.

Hectors attack "Etherion" is based on the Greek concept of Aether, the Heavenly void of the sky.

EDIT: Aghart is based on Agharta, another name for Shangrila, the mystical city that exists within the center of the Earth.

QUOTE(Jan Akiyama @ Dec 25 2005, 11:31 PM) *
Armageddon is something like a final judgement of sorts. Ragnarok is the norse interpretation of the Apocalypse. PBasically put, god and hell make a war against each other and in turn get fried.

"Armageddon" comes from the Hebrew "har megiddon," or "the Hill of Megiddo," just outside the city of Megiddo, where the Final War for Earth will take place. In fact, it was the site of several battles, mostly due to its strategic location on a popular trade route.
By the way, the word "apocalypse" (apokalypso) actually has nothing to do with the war-- it's Greek for "uncovering," or "revelation" (hence the biblical title). What we call "the Apocalypse" refers to the vision "revealed" to John regarding the end times.

QUOTE(Jan Akiyama @ Dec 25 2005, 11:31 PM) *
Archangel is a higher rank of angel.

More Greek; it literally means "first messenger."

QUOTE(Jan Akiyama @ Dec 25 2005, 11:31 PM) *
Zantetsu means cutting metal.

QUOTE(Raijinili @ Feb 2 2006, 09:33 PM) *
Shin-Zantetsu?

"Shin" has a few different meanings, but the character used in your screenshot means "truth." So, it means "true metal-cutter."

QUOTE(Jan Akiyama @ Dec 25 2005, 11:31 PM) *
Zephyr means wind.

Also refers to the Greek god of the west wind.

QUOTE(Jan Akiyama @ Dec 25 2005, 11:31 PM) *
Rosier is a fallen angel.

"Rosier was a fallen angel, specifically a Dominion of the Second Sphere. He is the patron demon of tainted love and seduction."

QUOTE(Jan Akiyama @ Dec 25 2005, 11:31 PM) *
Gai bolg is a partizan-like spear made to stab and cause pain even when pulled out.

I think someone mentioned this, but it's also the trademark weapon of CĂșchulainn of Irish legend.




Sorry if I've repeated some things already said, I'm just trying to clarify them and maybe add some insight.

On Tetyth:

In Japanese, it is rendered in Katakana as テティス (Wikipedia[JP]:Riviera) which, according to both WikiJP and jisho.org, is both the name of the moon Tethys (but not the Greek sea god for which said moon was named, テーテュース) and one of the lesser Greek sea gods Thetis, granddaughter of Tethys, "with whom she sometimes shares characteristics" (Wikipedia:Thetis). It is also one rendering of the name of the Mesozoic Tethys Sea covering much of Cenozoic Europe.
With th being transliterated somewhat irregularly as either t, s, or z, especially on the part of Sting, it's possible this was meant either as Tethys or as Thetis, though I lean towards the former. I'm uncertain at the moment if Tetyth was a romanization by Sting or a translation by Atlus.
