*Inanna inspired the character [[Inaruna]] in {{link|game|desum}}.<ref>{{Cite Interview|quote=金子■今回これをやってる時にシュメールとかに凝ってまして、シュメールの神話とかに第10何番っていう、巨大な太陽系の外側に楕円軌道をもってる惑星があるらしいんですよ。オカルティストの間では流行りでして、それからモンスターを持ってきました。イナルナっていうのも「デビルサマナー」の最後に出てくるんですけど、あれもイナンナっていうシュメールの神様からとってきています。世界中の地母神で、イシュタルとかカーリーとかもいますけど、そういった世界中の地母神の元みたいなんですよね。それが各地方に分派していって、イナンナがイシュタルになっていってというような流れがあるみたいです。そういうような意味からすると、本当は神様の起源みたいなのがシュメールなのかなっていうのはあったんで、こだわっていたんですね。|translquote='''KK:''' I really got into Sumerian culture while working on this, and found out that their mythology has a planet with an elliptic orbit outside the solar system, number twelve or so.
