FFXIII Gets Another Weather Named Character

The latest issue of Shonen Jump in Japan finally revealed the mysterious blonde character who has appeared in trailers and screenshots for Final Fantasy XIII. His name is Snow, and the new render shown in this issue does make him look a bit psycho, but that’s always welcome in video games.

Anybody notice the pattern of weather named characters in Final Fantasy XIII? Okay, sure there is only two named so far, but they are Lightning (the girl) and Snow (just revealed). What an odd mix.

    didn’t they say a long time ago that the characters did have weather realated nick names.

    Aha… should have guessed that since the weather nickname thing was rumoured and his bike is shiva.

    How many boardroom arguments do you think there were for calling him Iceman?
