"Too much like Garland"? Why? Cause he wears armor?
Garland has a rather unique weapon that transforms while Gabranth is seen in the trailer using his duel swords that combine into a swallow. Considering how much work has gone into making each character unique. I'll be surprised if any of them are exactly alike (Excluding Bartz and his Mime ability). I'm just wondering if he will get access to the XII paling abilities.
