Best friend material

With JRPG fans left in a muddle over the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, eyes have been set on the long running Tales Of franchise and its upcoming release Tales of Zestiria. With drips and drabs of information regarding the game's highly religious setting leaking out, things have gotten a little bit stranger with the unveiling of the game's third character, who's temporarily named Mikulio. Oh, and did we mention that he's invisible?

No, his best buddy and main protagonist Slay hasn't started creating imaginary friends – the newest addition is in fact one of the Divine, spiritual beings who control the natural order of the world. We don't know why they couldn't just be left as spirits, but we all need a change every now and then. As a priest, the abovementioned character is one of the few who can communicate with the mysterious being, explaining their camaraderie.

With Mikulio's weapon of choice listed as a long staff, he will most definitely be a playable party member. But are you happy with this latest unveiling, or is he too similar to characters from previous titles? Pray with us in the comments section below.
