Usually you see me posting weird questions and other nonsense, so weird that the 'Hear me about' Post got taken down (Apparently we can't show images from the game itself)
But I want to get serious for a moment, and let my thoughts reach out to you lot that I trust. I won't be touching the story, since that was amazing on it's own.
So if you haven't reached LB 5 yet, spoilers are ahead.
Having the Gods rely of Technology of all things is one of, if not, THE stupidest decision this game has ever made. (For some Context, I'm big on mythology). I understand that they were going with something different and unique, but at the same time, it didn't make sense.
I understand if they advanced long enough after 14000 years to have technology, I wouldn't be surprised if Hephaestus himself made all of Technology, since he's capable of doing so, But for the Gods themselves to be made of such nonsense is ridicioulus. Why? I'll tell you.
Greek Gods, are Immortal. They can't die. They can live forever without aging after they reach their prime state.
Even if they went to war against each other, they wont lose their bodies that easily, so saying nonsense like Poseidon losing his body and becoming a core was... pretty pathetic if I'm honest.
The Greek Gods rely on their Godly Powers and Godly Weapons, not Laser Guns! Like, let's be real, did any one of you took the 'True Appearance' of the Gods Seriously? I mean, lets compare them to their GOW counterpart (The most well known Greek Adapted Game)
Lets start with Poseidon. Which version of him do you think would be more dangerous? Three balls that shoot lasers every now and then.
Or this Monstrosity with the Power of the Trident and the Sea?

Hephastus, again, shouldn't have been dead, because he was immortal, but leaving behind a fragment of his mind inside a machine in case something happened is something he would actually do because of how smart he is. But, they never mention why he fell from the grace of the Gods, that's because he was ugly and had deformed legs, and since Fate likes to draw a lot of ugly things (Call back to the Bugs from F/zero EP1....) I'm surprised they don't go with something like this
Instead of whatever the hell we've gotten, and it would've made for Better interactions with the Characters.
Zeus.... God damn how wrong people get him. One of the few things they got right about him was that :1) He was omnipotent, and 2) His Thunderbolt and the one made by Hephaestus are powerful enough to destroy a Universe. But here's the Biggest Flaw they made.
Zeus, doesn't give a shit about Humanity.
His entire portrayal in the story was dead wrong and felt like a completely different character. I mean this is how he really acts
He's a selfish god, that cares only about himself and his bed times, so why the fuck would he ever care about humanity?
Also, WHAT THAT FUCK IS THIS?!
He already looked fine with his regular form! Why ruin it with this nonsense?! Oh, and guess what? He's using lasers again, form his mouth nonetheless, at least he can shoot thunder now, so that's a plus, but we both know that they're being shoot from machines.
You know what's surprising? Aphrodite is without a doubt the most Mythically accurate out of all them. Her selfish bratiness caused so many wars just so she can win, she did cheat on Hephaestus multiple times (like how Zeus cheats on Hera) and her god supramacy is without a doubt the most accurate thing about her character. Seeing that actually made me enjoy her on screen,
Also, she doesn't fight, she makes people fight for her, so that hypnosis she did when telling us to bow to her is really accurate.
..... so what the hell is this garbage?
Immediately ruined the character, also... Lasers, again...
I won't touch Demeter, since in this game she's 'corrupted' or something stupid like that, so I can't compare her to how she actually acts.
So what I'm saying is.... Technology shouldn't be used by Gods, their power alone is what makes them special, and adding Technology to it takes away what makes the gods special in the first place.
One last thing.
Apperantly, these guys aren't in the game because 'They're gods, and gods are too op'.... Motherfucker. LOOK at who we got! Kama, who controls the Universe like nothing, Arjuna Alter, a combination of all Hindu Gods into one, that can cut the Multiverse in half when serious, and, guess what? Actuals GODS! Astrea, Artemis, Orion, Vritra, and even fuckin' Tiamat! (Arcade at least) So just make a copy of them like usual! Fuck off DW!
