Nice, Square Enix. Hair from the 1980's and a funky spear. I suppose you're going to tell me that she can also summon Bahamut? Wouldn't that be f'n nuts?
Oh, wait. She can summon Bahamut. Chinese Joan Jett might look familiar to some. She popped up in the Final Fantasy XIII trailers that came out of Japan last month. Oorba Yun Fang is her name, and poking things with her spear is her game. If you squint while looking at these Shonen Jump scans, you can see that her summon is the mighty Bahamut, whose name appears larger than his actual picture. Fail. I'm sure he'll look fantastic in person, though.
Speaking of summons, Sazh's is also pictured in the scans. The Japanese text reads closest to Brunhild, which may be related to what I found on Wikipedia, Brynhildr, a Valkyrie of Norse mythology. Don't quote me on that last bit.
[Thanks for the scans, Crunshii]

...but that character model is just meh.
Amen.
lol
It's not hard to pretend.
Hawt.
But Sazh, Snow, Hope, and Yaag are all guys.
Suck it Kain fans. Suck it.
Seriously though, it would be great if FFXIII gives us a dedicated Dragoon. Despite how FREAKING AWESOME the job is, its a damn shame that the series has only given us two characters who are defined strictly as Dragoons. (Three if you count Kihmari because he could jump, but... he was more of a really bad Blue Mage.)
Freya would mop the floor with Kain.
When Dissidia 2 comes out after the next 10 final fantasy games in 40 years, and they include Freya and Kain, you will see. Freya's stats will be so superior to Kain's it will be a mathematical impossibility for him to beat her.
