Some new Final Fantasy XIII screens have hit the net, showing off more of Odin, the obligatory summon that finds his way into most FF games worth their salt. Like all summons in the game, Odin will be controlled either as a player character, or as a "Gestalt," where he'll transform into some sort of vehicle for one of the characters. Odin's Gestalt mode allows Lightning to ride his horse. Snazzy!
As we've come to expect from Final Fantasy XIII screens, the new images are quite gorgeous and make the battles look like some of the best combat yet seen in the RPG series. I'm not officially in anticipation of this game after the lengthy wait and Spring 2010 still seems like a long way away.
How about you guys? Got the hype tinglies yet?

since I finished everything in FFXII and immediately started aching for the next game in the series. Every picture, video, and bit of information that I've seen since then has only added to it.
Not to mention Odin is usually one of my favorite summons in each game, I love that he is Lightning's summon.
But I've been hearing conflicting reports now about the horse. I've heard from some (like just now in the article) that his Gestalt mode will let Lightning ride his horse, but from others I've heard that Odin himself will actually "transform" into a horse and that Lightning will ride him as a horse? Anyone sure about this?
Best summon ever.
Doesn't fucking contain 6 hours of grinding between every 2 hours of actually relevant gameplay.
Doesn't pad out the plot by making you traverse ridiculously long expanses of land only to arrive at the proper destination entirely underleveled. I'm looking at you Ogir-Yensa Sandsea.
Also, no sandseas. What the fuck is a sandsea? For fucks sake.
