Odin

You must search the Centra Ruins and complete Odin's quest, then defeat him in battle before he joins your party. Odin isn't a controllable GF. Once he joins you, he will randomly appear at the start of the battle about 1 in every 10 battles, except Boss battles. Riding through the battlefield on his mighty steed, Odin uses his sword Zantetsuken to cut your enemies in two. This attack will instantly kill all enemies on the battlefield. This is sort of a blessing and a curse. It's great when Odin appears and cuts down a powerful creature like a Malboro, but you're trying to stock up on magic or steal an item from a rare creature, it's a bit of a nuisance. Still, Odin is all worth the 'trouble' to get him! See the Side Quests Odin for more info on getting Odin. Odin's Attack: Zantetsuken History Odin (オーディン Ōdin) is a recurring Summon in the series. He has appeared in every Final Fantasy game from Final Fantasy III through to Final Fantasy IX, as well as Final Fantasy Tactics. Most commonly, Odin will appear and slice though enemies with his sword, cleaving them in two and inflicting Instant Death. Other games give Odin the ability to damage enemies normally as well. His basic physical characteristics are that of a demonic-looking knight with horns, a long, curved scimitar as his weapon, and a cape. This progressed to also include a lance-type weapon called Gungnir. He always is seen on his horse, who takes on demonic-type attributes as well, including red eyes, and having body armor. Sleipnir, Odin's steed in Norse mythology, has eight legs; in some games in the series, Odin's steed has six legs. In Final Fantasy III, Sleipnir can be encountered as a six-legged enemy, while Odin's steed is a normal horse, however. In Final Fantasy XII Sleipnir again has only four and is no longer an (indirect) ally, but a monster/fiend the player can encounter. Óðinn (Odin) (pronounced OH-thin) is the leader of the Æsir in Norse Mythology and is the god of wisdom, poetry, war and death and he is attributed with the discovery of Runes. He, along with his two brothers, Vili and Vé, is credited with the creation of the realm of mankind, Miðgarður (Midgard), and for mankind itself. He is the employer of the female warriors known as valkyries (who control the fate of battles and collect the dead from the battleground) and he reigns over the hall of Valhöll (Valhalla), the Norse equivalent of heaven (only those who fought bravely and died in combat were eligible to enter). Óðinn sacrificed his left eye to drink from Mimir's Well of Wisdom to gain knowledge of past, present and future. His eight legged horse, Sleipnir, and his magical dwarven spear Gungnir have also been depicted. At Ragnarök (the end of the gods) Óðinn shall rally the dead warriors to fight on the side of the gods. Óðinn fathered Þór (Thor), the god of lightning, and many others.
