I am currently playing FFXII and noticed that Mateus is basically the Shiva of that game. She really has an awesome design, very similar to a mermaid. :D I wish they'd just called her Shiva, though. <_<

lol, Mateus is actually a he, made by the gods to rule and protect those who live in the underworld, but then he went corrupt, imprisoned an ice goddess and uses her as a living shield. After that, he joined Ultima and the rest of the espers to overthrow the gods. Who knows, that ice goddess' name might be Shiva. Haha.

I wanna join this club, Shiva was my most used Aeon in the game.

Yeah, if you have the strategy guide, you can read their background stories before hand. Or you can wait until you've obtained them and read about them in the Bestiary. :D

I absolutely love how they added details about the summons in the game, unlike FFX.

Well, back to Shiva, I really like her design. And her intro's my favorite out of the rest of the Aeons.

My fave design of hers is in IX, with X coming a close second.

Its probably Shiva and Ifrit that are the most popular summons, they've been in every game in the main series since III and with XII they have been mentioned. I'm still glad she's listed in ^_^

I hope XII is released soon.

I live in Scotland, just above England. We get XII on February 23rd and I'm getting it for my birthday! I'm really looking forward to it, just bought a magazine because it had the review of the game.

One of the Espers reminded me of Ifrit, I've still yet to see the Shiva look-a-like.

Oh, well, you don't have long to wait, then! :D

Yeah, Belias the Gigas is the FFXII version of Ifrit. Mateus the Corrupt is the FFXII version of Shiva. However, the ice goddess is a mere shield for a corrupt demon. You can see her in front of it and she looks like a mermaid (pretty awesome) with a blindfold.

Of course, some people maintain that Mateus is not Shiva, but... it is a female summon who just happens to be an ice goddess (being used as a shield for a demon of course). Who else would it be?

A screenshot of Mateus's entry in the Bestiary:

Does anyone have more pics of Mateus?

I think there is a picture of her in the official trailer to, it certainly does remind me of Shiva. Even if the Esper isn't really named Shiva, we all certainly know that it is a reference to her, she has appeared in every FF since III.

Mateus is the monster that is holding the girl "hostage", so techincally Mateus is a "he". ^_^ The girl doesn't have a name.
