Seems like an interesting character and seems different, not because of his color, but because of his design..he looks original, at least a little more than who else we have seen in XIII's cast. I like the looks of him and hope he turns out to be a fun character

 

[Busta]

Interesting, but even though Fran was half-Easter Bunny, wasn't she black as well? The article says this new dude is the first black playable character since Barrett in FFVII.

Also...

Sahz has a deep love for chocobos, likes the color green, and dual-wields pistols.

Likes the color green? I'd think they'd tell us something more important or interesting than just his favorite color. Like, maybe what his favorite extinct dinosaur was, or how often his Uncle Ray got thrown in prison for Voyeurism.

The character design seems cool in a basketball player sorta way, but he seems way too happy in those screen-shots.

I forgot about Fran, not sure what to call her...But Kiros in VIII was black

He is VERY happy in those screens is what keeps him apart from the other characters I have seen

 

[SaShman]

Interesting, at least his design is different, although his clothes kinda remind me of Irvine's from FFVIII. But I'm looking forward to learning a little more about him and his place in the world of XIII.

Oh and I also found the "likes the color green thing" pretty random.

 

[Sir Kenneth]

Haha it's kinda funny that no matter what etnicity Square's characters are supposed to be, they always look kinda asian

 

[Bambi]

I thought it was a joke at first, he looks abit funny with the whole outfit going on there. I half espect him to be overly hyper kinda like that Eddy chap in Tekken...not sure why, I just expect him to be moving lots xD

Also, I'm gunna move this to Squenix news - feel free to move back if you thnk its better in the XIII section

 

[Misty]

I LOVE the look of this guy - he just seems so...different

Can't wait to play with him haahaa

I like how someone on that site referred to him as Shaft

And Barret was black too you know, although Barret was a stereotypical character who shockingly looked a LOT to Mr. T. In fact, Barret could be Mr. T in disguise!

Anyways, the characters looks great and it is quite something new instead of the same old, white, male, depressing looking, bad-ass attitude and bad ass weapon character they seem to splatter on our faces each time they make a game, or a change to the totally annoying or pointless character (coughVancough)

Why is Dwayne Johnson in this game? Wasn't the Doom movie enough for him?

lulz

Now we will hear him say: "DO YOU SMELLLLLLLL!?!? WHAT THE SAZH IS COOKING!!"

Interesting, but even though Fran was half-Easter Bunny, wasn't she black as well? The article says this new dude is the first black playable character since Barrett in FFVII.

And there is a Summoner in FFX which used to be Yuna's rival. I don't recall her name but she was traveling with this big musclehead as her guardian and she was very obnoxious. Oh and he was also black.

We know, we were talking about that because the article said that Barret was the last black playable character.

Dona? She wasn't a playable character, though - that's the point that the article is making. Anyhow, I distinctly recall Wakka being classed as black, and there was a small hoopla over the fact that he was the first 'playable black character since Barret Wallace'.

This guy looks ridiculous, but there's something strangely alluring about his presence. <_<

 

[Aztec Triogal]

I thought Barrack Obama there was a real person. His look is so funky and authentic that I thought he was part of the promotion... not the game.

 

[ACardAttack]

I am wondering how his name will be pronounced, anyone have any ideas...

 

[Gingerbread Lesbian]

TodaAgo as a week, as the sparkling freelance Aurélie Despres had made an excellent translation scans for Final Fantasy XIII. Today, the site famitsu in renewed some pictures. While many players were disappointed to learn that the Western release will not take effect before the year 2010, Square-Enix advance serene mind and delivers its production for an explosive. Remember, the publisher revealed that the enemies will be viewed on the area of combat, it will be possible to avoid unwelcome encounters.

 

[ACardAttack]

I like the looks of those screens, something about them, but they make me very excited about this game. I just get a sense of something different from those screens, it doesnt feel as realistic as I thought it might

 

[Marshy]

He looks like a fun, happy going character that i'm sure should be lots of fun to play as. He looks like hes from the 70's with that fro haha. I read a comment that that little chocobo lives in his fro? Thats awesome. Lets just hope hes not like another Barret as a stereotype..

If that is true, then he is AWESOME. A man with an afro, with great personality is one thing, but a man with an afro who has a baby chocobo living in his head? FANTASTIC.

This is character creation back at its prime. Good ideas, not just there to feed what they think people want in RPG's.. But coming up with something new and fantastic.

 

[Aztec Triogal]

Sadly I think he's going to be another character in the FF series that looks really cook, has an interesting personality and backstory, but is so fucking weak in a fight I'll never end up using him.

 

[Big Casino]

he looks like warren from csi.

Anyway them screenshots look amazing. Gotta make sure i have an HD tv when that comes out.

 

[Roy Mustang]

he looks like warren from csi.

Oh lawl he does so. xDD
He looks like a cool character imo, and if that baby chocobo lives in his fro, that just makes him moar epic.

 

[DL Clyde]

I looked him up on Wikipedia and this is what our good ol' friend had to say.

He is described as a caring man who is easily reduced to tears, and joins the party early in the game
