Flynn Scifo

Flynn, in contrast to Yuri, is a knight who would solve the larger problem before the smaller ones. In other words, he has a similar sense of justice to Yuri, but would rather solve them through politics. His differences in ideology causes him to clash with Yuri, although the two aren't really at odds with each other. This can be represented in the fact that Flynn chooses to work in the Empire, whereas Yuri chooses to work in the Guilds.

Flynn only fights during one battle throughout the whole game along with Yuri and Repede, at that point he has a limited amount of Artes at his disposal. He wields a sword and a shield in battle.

PS3 Version
Flynn appears to be playable to a better extent in the PS3 version, even having a dual Hi-ougi with Yuri In the original, he was only playable in an ambush cutscene and even then, he was sluggish, only had about 7 Artes, and no Burst Artes, Fatal Strikes or Mystic Artes when playable.

In the trailer for the PS3 version, it shows him appearing at Ghasfarost with a new arte, Gurenken, or Hell Pyre and the supposed dual Hi-Ougi, Bushin Soutenha.

Trivia

 * Flynn's design is considered to look very similar to Guy Cecil from Tales of the Abyss. This is attributed generally to the art style of Kousuke Fujishima, who is noted for sometimes recycling some of his earlier character designs from previous works for even current projects.
