Question to SE...
Ma'at was originally a female egyptian goddess. Wondering why did you make him an old man?

Ma'at was a female Egyptian goddess. Maat is a Jeunoian fisherman. SE has nearly always in the past picked the cool bits of mythology out for their games, ignoring most of the rest of it.

Re: Maats sex change...
I know and liked how SE kinda of followed a mythology point but mixed it up in a whole new array...And so i was looking for some pics for WoTG on google and came across Ma'at. thought i'd post a question if there was any relation to the fisherman and the goddess.

I agree, take a look at Charbydis, who was supposd to be a giant whirlpool of a monster not some puny octopus >_> Not to mention Charbydis is always linked to Scylla, hence the phrase "Between Scylla and Charbydis" so if SE actually took note of mythology they would of shoved Scylla somewhere in the grotto.

Re: Maats sex change...
Maat and Ma'at have very little in common. Ever consider the possibility that Maat wasn't inspired by her?
I don't think SE wanted to create a new monster model for one NM.Read my blog.ffxibrp.livejournal.comCurrently: Entry #32, August 31/07.

Shiva is Masculine where s/he originated. O_o
Maybe Shiva and Ma'at swapped genders!

I could wonder why Fenrir was a tigerish-lookng Behemoth-type mob in FFXII, but its a fantasy game, I'm not going to lose much sleep over it. There is plenty of gender-bending in other RPGs that draw off of various mythological archtypes.

Its not like SE has to completely go with mythology. its called inspiration, not imitation.-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Why are Elvaans stupid when Elves are suppose to be smart and magical?There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot,
but there are others who with the help of their art and their intelligence
transform a yellow spot into the sun.
