Franchise: Final Fantasy
1
The Final Fantasy series is known for its many religious references such as churches and real-life religious symbols being in the games, as well as borrowing names of fictional/mythical creatures for enemies or summons. However, some games go much deeper, alluding to different schools of thought and/or the mysticism of various religions.
• Final Fantasy IV bases the conflict between Kain and Cecil off of the biblical story of Cain and Abel, and even alludes to it with an in-game item.
• Kefka is thought to represent the Antichrist or even Satan himself.
• Sephiroth is also thought to represent the Antichrist or Lucifer. His design is similar to a fallen angel's.
• Final Fantasy X is centered on the corruption of organized religion. It is also thought that Tidus is meant to represent Jesus.
• The concept of l'Cie is an allusion to religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism where the point of living is to reach to the afterlife, and if you don't succeed in your current life, you simply try again and again.

• The title cards are visually similar.
• The same Minotaur that is fought in the cartoon is a boss in the game.

Final Fantasy VII
2
Final Fantasy VII heavily references the Lurian Kabbalah [kah-ball-a]. Kabbalah is a Jewish school of thought that also refers to the mysticism of Judaism and Gnosticism, a collection of ancient religions. Not only does FFVII draw from the beliefs of these religions, but it incorporates what actually happened to the followers in real life, as well as using Hebrew in the formation of character names. A few examples are:

• The Gnostics were persecuted, like the Cetra.
• Sephiroth's name comes from the term Sefirot (meaning "counting" or "enumeration"), which refers to the ten aspects of God in the Tree of Life.
• The sixth sefira in Tree of Life is beauty, known in Hebrew as Tif'eret {ti-fah-ret}. It is possible that this is how Tifa's name was derived.
