You can call me “D3”. I’m just a guy who makes games as a hobby. Not always good at it, but I always have fun!

I backed this as well, but I’m terrified it’s going to turn out to be another mighty number 9 or shenmue 3. I have high hopes though, because it looks really good.

If I recall correctly Golden Sun summons are kind of all over the place as well.
Moving on to the anime/manga side, One of the things I loved about Shaman King is that it pulled from a ton of mythological sources as well: Christian, Japanese, Chinese, Norse, Egyptian, Sumerian, you name it Shaman king has it.

You give bonus points for not usimg Shin Megami Tensai, but you should also give bonus points for not using Final Fantasy. They touch on a little of everything. You probably would of done well to also mention Christianity, which is so prevalent that creators often use its symbolism without even realizing it.
Fair points, I’ll add those. Although I figured that the big ones would be obvious enough :)

Thanks for the reply!
African Myths and Traditions are something that I wish were touched on a lot more in fiction (outside Egyptian). Africa has a such an incredible amount of mythos and they are all very interesting (particularly the Yoruba and their Orishas) but in understand why many may not be aware due to the history of the continent.
I find that Asian mythos and legend is becoming more and more popular as more anime and things of that nature become more mainstream in western culture.

We all know that Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology is often used in RPGs and Jrpgs as a basis for story telling. This extends often to mainstream fiction and media as well.
What are some rarely used mythological stories and tales that you would like to see used more in gaming and fiction? What games have you played that may have used these rarely heard of works? Bonus points for no Shin Megami Tensei.
Or would you rather that games that use mythology come up with entirely original works?
Edit: As suggested by Pianotm bonus points for not using final fantasy as an example or mentioning Christian lore and mythos.

RPG Maker games I must play before dying
Three Ghostly Roses and Wine and Roses deserve play.
A blurred line is a classic.
I also really like Subterranean Starfield.
