It's been awhile since I saw your last video so you might have mentioned this but Fei in carbon freezing is a reference to Han Solo frozen in carbonite in Star Wars and Shevat resembles Cloud City from the external shots. And the Zohar's eye evokes the Eye of Providence.

The ideas of gnosticism existed before Christianity, but when Christianity happened, the primary gnostic movements... basically "appropriated" (if that's the right word for it) certain names to their previously-formed creation myth, later rewritten to include them. If I'm not mistaken, this is what results in most of the confusion about and conflation of gnostic/Christian terminology, including how said terms were utilized in Xeno and other JRPGs. (Also, you mentioned the bit where they changed the serpent from The Accuser to a force with good intentions. Insert joke about villains revealing their plan in the first act.)

That reading of "You shall be as gods" is one I hadn't considered, I always saw it as a reminder of humanity's hubris, instilled into Deus. On that topic, I didn't know the Seraph angels were called Aeons in japanese, that's super cool, especially considering they should be called archons if anything like you pointed out.

I'd say you making these videos is you doing God's work, but instead, I'll say you're doing the Wave Existence's work.
