New character named for Final Fantasy XIII

V-Jump scan - Image 1As promised, Square Enix names yet another character in Final Fantasy XIII (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3), and this info comes through Japanese gaming mag, V-Jump. With the short Sephiroth-silver hair (yes, it's a new color, Sephiroth-silver), the newly-named character is somewhat reminiscent of Loz from Advent Children.

His name is Yaag Rosch. And if you could already tell by the hair color, he won't be in your party and instead will be busy trying to beat you all.

The magazine also gives more info about Odin, who was allowed to be summoned for the special E3 presentation. The scan showed how Odin transforms into a super horse which Lightning can ride, much like when Snow mounted the Shiva sisters (no pun intended, seriously). While Odin could just hand Sleipnir over to Lightning if she needed a ride, he'd much rather be a part of the ride than to part with his eight-legged steed.

what is a pun?

I don't quite see where one could mistake anything you've stated as a play on words.

LOL

No offence Glenn (and I don't have much of a dirty mind), but those last 4 lines are in need of a serious re-write. ""a super horse which Lightning can ride, much like when Snow mounted the Shiva sisters (no pun intended, seriously). While Odin could just hand Sleipnir over to Lightning if she needed a ride, he'd much rather be a part of the ride than to part with his eight-legged steed.""

Confusing as it is...

Imagine when someone whose a non gamer comes to this page and reads that, they would be even more confused.

They won't be rewritten

Because it is intended ¬_¬ If it wasn't meant to sound like that, he would have just rewritten it. Maybe it wasn't intended as he was writing it, but he did mean to leave it there.

Shiva's really a guy.

On that note...I wonder how many people know that the actual God Shiva was a guy.

.....

How long do these japanese game characters likely spend doing their hair... especially in games like this they seem to usually have very strange and ridiculous hairstyles that just ain't practical or even good to look at. But then I've never been overly fond of Final Fantasy game character designs.
