For example, the church in Midgar that Aerith grows flowers in is not defined as being a church of any particular deity, but it is said to be a church. Is it possible that the Lifeforce, though not a deity per se has the capacity to act as one under certain circumstances, or is it simply acting through Aerith?
Likewise, the Li-Grim of FFTA bears deific-like powers, particularly in relation to the creation of a dream world and the power held therein. Her, combined with the totemas of that world are the things holding them together.
I guess this is stuff that would fit very well into an areas/territories pack that went into more detail as to the geopolitical makeup of each world. Intriguing stuff, this.
In FF14, its mainly for fluff, but they have deities for each month. The New Gods, I put them under.
