And that's why I seriously prefer Shin Megami Tensei over FF every day. SMT does gets it's Demons, Angels, Gods, Fairies, Mythological Beasts, Fantasy Beasts, Folklorical Creatures, Mythological/Legendary Heroes, Cryptids and RL Heroes right, rarely altering any details about them.

While FF simply takes it's monsters from D&D, where they are portrayed in a way that it feels like D&D's creators simply thought "Oh, this thing is called Tiamat. Good name for a monster", and proceed to make a monster that is nothing like Tiamat except for the name.
