In any FF I have played except 8 I am certian odin can "miss". This is due to him being a summon or some such in those games... afterall he can't one hit everything(not even in VIII) but at least in VIII you don't see all those misses and waste you mp getting him there.
I definately have to say VIII this time round he is definately neat, not to mention as Kawaii Ryűkishi said he has style :P
