TalkBack / New playable character in Skies of Arcadia

You heard right, there is a brand new playable character for the GameCube version of Skies of Arcadia. Get the juice inside.

According to the french site Newtechnix, Sega has announced a brand new playable character for the GameCube version of Overworks' fantastic RPG Skies of Arcadia (Eternal Arcadia in Japan). The new is in french so here is a translation via the all knowing Babelfish:

Sega announced that the play of role Skies of Arcadia Legend (Eternal Arcadia) should leave this year to Japan. The adaptation on GameCube should be technically identical compared to the version on Dreamcast, one will however note some small improvements on the level of graphics of the play. Certain innovations should be available, a new playable character feminin: a hunter of premiums.

Here's my translation of Babelfish's translation: Skies of Arcadia is coming out this year in Japan. It's going to be the same, but it will look and play a bit better. There's also a new kick ass female playable character who will bawl and smash all over the skies, and she's some kind of treasure hunter.

They also have a scan of the information revealing this character.
